Fantastic fall fun With warm temperatures and blue skies prevailing, hundreds of families poured into Flat Acres Farm in Parker for a taste of fall Oct. 10-11. The little ones got to pick a mini pumpkin from a large bin, meet towering costumed characters who made balloon animals, bounce on inflatables, pet farm animals, take a hay ride, and soar into the sky on a swing.

Never stop hoping, survivor says Woman shares story of life, breast cancer

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and one local survivor, Kiersten Martinez, says the disease “has become way too common and scary. ... Nobody should have to deal with chemo or the residual of radiation. But so many do.” Here is more of Martinez’s story.

Tell us about yourself.

I was born in Pittsburgh and grew up in Littleton. My life was pretty normal.

I was a cheerleader at Chatfield High School, decided to go to University of Arizona and, within one semester, realized that I needed a small town. I transferred to UNC (University of Northern Colo-

We have three children, Talya, 11, Chaz, 6, and Lennox, 2. (God’s plan for our family — all being four years apart — and all absolute blessings.)

What did your battle with breast cancer look like?

I was diagnosed on my youngest daughter’s first birthday, Dec. 17, 2013.

I thought that I had a clogged duct and needed an antibiotic. Not so much. Once given the ultrasound they scheduled a biopsy. In some ways, I believe that it was supposed to happen that way. You know, finding out something terrible but knowing that I am supposed to stay strong. I am not gonna lie, God helped me through my struggle. My friends and family came for every operation and treatment. I

first had a double mastectomy. Being 38 years old and nursing three kiddos, there was no way that they weren’t gonna take both breasts. I had a double mastectomy in January 2014. I began chemo in March, which continued through August — awful stuff! Adriamiacin/ Cytoxin and Taxol was the typical treatment. Then, in September I began the radiation. I wanted the best outcome and this was the way to do it.

What advice do you have for people battling breast cancer?

Slain student was ‘happy, positive’ Castle View grad Colin Brough was shot to death last week at Northern Arizona University

By Jim Benton, Shanna Fortier and Chris Rotar Staff writers The photos he posted on social media — on a beach, in the mountains, smiling with friends — tell how Colin Brough lived.

Full of fun. Full of life.

That life was cut tragically short last week, when the 2013 Castle View High School graduate was shot to death on the campus of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff in the early Brough morning hours of Oct. 9.

The man suspected of shooting Brough and three of his fraternity brothers — who are in the hospital — was immediately arrested. The circumstances leading to the shooting remain unclear and are under investigation.

Logan Fetters, who lived with Brough in the Riley dorm their freshman year at NAU, remembers a happy, fun-loving young man.

“Colin was a very nice, outgoing kid,” Fetters said. “He always had a big smile on his face and always wanted to have a good time, whether it was hanging out in the dorms and playing video games, or going out and throwing around the la-

‘Colin was a very nice, outgoing kid, he always had a big smile on his face and always wanted to have a good time, whether it was hanging out in the dorms and playing video games, or going out and throwing around the lacrosse ball, and snowboarding.’

Logan Fetters, Former roommate of Colin Brough crosse ball, and snowboarding.”

Brough played varsity lacrosse as a junior and senior for Castle View.

“He was a solid kid and a great lacrosse player,” said Castle View lacrosse coach Jose Trujillo. “It was a terrible, terrible tragedy for the family. They are a big part of our lacrosse family.”

There was a moment of silence for thoughts and prayers for the Brough family Oct. 9 before the Castle View football game.

“He was a happy, positive, great kid,” said Castle View Athletic Director Derek Cordes. “He was excited about his family,

life and college.”

At about 1:20 a.m., the university’s police department responded to a report of shots fired on campus, according to a news release by NAU. Four students were found with gunshot wounds and a suspect was arrested. Brough’s wounds were fatal, while the other three were being treated at Flagstaff Medical Center.

The suspect was identified by the university as NAU freshman Steven Jones, who faces a charge of first-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault.

The incident took place in a parking lot on the northeast end of the campus in

front of Mountain View Hall, an all-Greek student housing building.

The university is calling it “an isolated shooting incident,” but the motive was not immediately known. The investigation is ongoing.

Brough was a member of the Delta Chi fraternity. The other three victims also were members of Delta Chi. They are Nicholas Prato, Kyle Zientek and Nicholas Piring.

Brough was pursuing a degree in business marketing, he wrote on his LinkedIn page.

“He was honestly a very smart, kindhearted kid with a lot of potential and a bright future in front of him,” Fetters said. “It’s heartbreaking to hear about how his life was taken away from him in just a blink of an eye.”

Counselors with the Douglas County School District’s crisis team have been made available to provide support to Castle View students, a district spokesman said.

As a senior at the high school in Castle Rock, Brough’s 51 points were second on the lacrosse team.

“You hear about all these tragedies and you are effected but when it hits somebody you know, wow, something has to be done,” Trujillo said. “It can happen to anybody. That’s how random it is.”

Brough worked as a lifeguard for the Town of Castle Rock in summer 2014, and his death hit home.

“Our heartfelt sympathies are with his family and friends during this most difficult time,” reads a statement from the town. “Colin will be dearly missed and always remembered.

Man who allegedly pulled gun at school pleads not guilty Wyatt Mayes, 31, faces felony charges for incident at Iron Horse Elementary

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com A man accused of pulling a gun on a driver in the parking lot of a Parker elementary school last spring has pleaded not guilty.

Wyatt Mayes, 31, pleaded not guilty to felony charges of menacing and possessing a weapon on school grounds during a hearing Sept. 28 at the Douglas County

Justice Center in Castle Rock. Mayes was arrested in April after an argument escalated in the parking lot of Iron Horse Elementary School, 20151 Tallman Drive.

The victim told responding officers that Mayes honked his horn at him, then pulled parallel to his vehicle and began Mayes yelling as school was letting out for the day.

Mayes allegedly made a racial comment toward the victim.

The victim exited his vehicle and

began walking toward Mayes’ vehicle in a “non-aggressive manner,” according to witnesses. That’s when a firearm was pulled, police say.

“The victim stated the suspect pointed a gun at his chest,” an arrest affidavit says. “The victim was in fear of his life.”

Mayes fled in his vehicle, but police used his license plate number to look up his home address. When contacted by an officer, Mayes reportedly said he was picking up his two sons from school when the victim blocked in his vehicle.

Mayes said he honked at the victim “for approximately 10 seconds,” but the man did not move his car. Mayes said the

man insulted his intelligence and threatened physical violence.

The victim began “charging at him,” said Mayes, who then retrieved a Glock 23 pistol from under his seat.

“The victim came at him with a puffed up chest and looked like he was going to fight him,” according to the officer’s report. “Wyatt told me he felt in fear of his life.”

The victim got within about 3 feet of Mayes’ car window; Mayes admitted to pulling his handgun on the man, the arrest affidavit says.

He is scheduled to appear for a motions hearing Dec. 11 in Castle Rock.

CRAIG RICHARDSON School board incumbent Craig Richardson, 54, and his wife Valerie have lived in Highlands Ranch since 1993.

They have three grown children. Richardson is an attorney in private practice with a large international law firm.

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 appointed to the Douglas County School Board to fill a vacancy in 2010, and was elected to the seat in 2011.

Providing broad strategic direction for the district is the defining role of a board member. It is emphatically not to micromanage or to encroach on staff’s role in implementing the board’s strategy. Stewardship further animates this role: ensuring every available taxpayer dollar is wisely spent in support of the classroom.

The school district carries out and embodies the community’s overriding interest in having an educated population — a result essential to a flourishing democracy. The community includes not only those with children in school, but also taxpayers who don’t have students currently in their household. Armed with the knowledge and virtues required of citizenship, our students mark the return on the community’s investment. The district, in turn, is a steward of the broader community’s investment. It must ensure that taxation is the lowest possible, that resources are used prudently and efficiently, and that tangible and excellent results are achieved.

Douglas County has the best teachers in Colorado, and we want to keep it that way. We retain 95 percent of our highly effective teachers and 90 percent of our effective teachers. We are losing large percentages of our partially effective and ineffective teachers. That’s how it should be. Even so, our overall turnover rate is comparable to other Front Range districts.

Meanwhile, we are attracting top talent from around the country by throwing out the union pay scale and paying teachers based on their classroom performance and the scarcity of their skill.

For decades, this district has irresponsibly gone into debt to pay for maintenance. Douglas County households don’t take out a mortgage to paint the house, repair the plumbing, or replace the carpet — and the district needs to follow our taxpayers’ example.

Maintenance should be funded out of our current operating fund of nearly $600 million annually. The only justification for bond debt is new, brick-and-mortar growth projects. There are efficient ways to handle growth over the next several years, including partnering with new charter schools to locate in areas where we need capacity. Remember: private households have capital needs too!

Student academic achievement is the paramount measure of a school district’s success. It is the reason we are in business.

It is our purpose and our mission. For too long, under the influence of a malevolent union, we measured success by what’s good for the bureaucrats and adults in the system, not what’s good for kids. Those days are over. Our test scores are at record levels. Our graduation rates are rising.

Our district is now “accredited with distinction” — the only large school district in Colorado to have achieved that status — after losing it under the prior board.

It is whether we have the fortitude to continue nurturing freedom in our district.

Strong and powerful interests want to return us to the days of centralized, coercive control over parents, teachers and students.

To paraphrase Ben Franklin, we now have a republic of freedom — if we can keep it.

WENDY VOGEL Wendy Vogel, 45, is a parent of two Douglas County School District 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 counseling from Chapman University. Before having children, she worked in federal prisons as a psychology intern, a substance abuse educator and a case manager. She is a small business owner and professional quilter.

I think the most important role of a school board member is to represent the best interests of ALL students and citizens in our community.

It is critical that the school district and the community have a respectful, collaborative relationship. Currently, we are seeing terribly strained relations between our district leadership and the community, including declining staff morale and excessive turnover. To improve these relationships, I will end secret discussions and decisions of the board, I will demand regular, comprehensive surveys, and I will work to restore public comment time at board meetings.

The most important way a school board can attract and retain the very best teachers is by treating them with respect. Currently, our teachers are being demoralized and marginalized, which is why we’ve witnessed unprecedented turnover. As a board member, I will listen, be respectful, and allow teachers to voice concerns.

To manage our capital needs, which are over $250 million and growing, I would go to the voters to ask for approval of a bond measure. Given Colorado’s negative factor and all of the cuts our schools have faced, I think it would be irresponsible to put forth a plan to use our per pupil funding to meet these needs.

I believe that schools’ progress and success are best indicated by: class size and teacher/student ratios, staff retention and experience, parental involvement, spending priorities, school safety and discipline, graduation and retention/dropout rates and academic achievement (college entrance exams, AP exams, NAEP, and PISA results).

I believe that the two biggest issues facing the Douglas County School District are its negative culture/climate and its financial state, which I addressed (previously).

KEVIN LARSEN Incumbent Kevin 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 WisconsinMadison with a bachelor of science degree in mathematics. He is the president of the Douglas County School Board and was elected in 2011. He is the assistant vice president and actuary with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America.

The board sets the big picture — the vision, the strategy, and the priorities — for the district employing the most efficient use of taxpayer resources for the benefit of educating students.

It hires and oversees the superintendent and does not interfere with day-to-day operation and execution of those goals.

The community has a longstanding, vested interest in having educated citizens. It reaps numerous benefits from that investment: a culture that rewards merit, a safer society with reduced crime, higher home values, and a workforce that is ready to compete in today’s and tomorrow’s world.

Moreover, a solid, foundational education is necessary for our nation to continue as a republic, as the continuation of that greatest form of self-governance is dependent on each succeeding generation to preserve it. That can only be done by learning from the giants of the past, living in the present, and imagining a great future.

I’m proud that we have the top teachers in the state. We put the best possible teachers in front of our children by differentiating compensation increases by performance and by setting salary ranges based on the need for and availability of highly qualified applicants.

It works. This year we retained over 95 percent of our highly effective teachers and about 90 percent of our effective teachers, with higher turnover among our partially effective and ineffective ranks. In two years our highly effective share of teachers has increased from 15 percent to 20 percent, while the partially effective levels have decreased from 15 percent to 10 percent.

It’s important to distinguish between growth and maintenance. When new buildings are needed, then bonds can be considered.

Modest growth of the past few years has been managed with partnerships with charter schools.

When future projections indicate steeper growth we will examine and use more options.

We also have a responsibility to address maintenance with current dollars, tending to the highest priorities based on safety, security, and the optimal learning environment for the students. We have done that consistently, and we will continue to do that. As buildings age we monitor every component to identify those priorities and needs.

This is our paramount calling. The measure of success is in the performance and growth of our students. Douglas County School District has regained “Accredited with Distinction,” a rating only reached by about 15 of the 174 Colorado school districts. We are by far the largest district to reach that rank.

The community faces a distinct choice.

Do we want to limit freedom, offering some choice but really imposing centralized control? Or do we want to continue to reach for greatness by empowering parents, teachers, and students to select their best education option? I’m eager to continue championing the latter approach.

ANNE-MARIE LEMIEUX Anne-Marie Lemieux, 48, moved to Highlands Ranch in 2004 with her husband, Doug, and two children. She is a former elementary school teacher and parent to one Douglas County School District graduate and one current DCSD student. Lemieux helped develop the High School Academic Booster Club in DCSD. She graduated with a bachelor of science in education from Baylor University in 1989 and taught elementary school for seven years in Texas.

School board directors are elected to guide spending and policy-making for our school district thorough mutual respect.

It is imperative for directors to develop the trust necessary to make decisions based on parent, community and employee input with focus on student needs.

Decision-making should be based on proper input from diverse perspectives.

Our community must be able to trust board directors to make fiscally sound spending and smart policy-making decisions that focus on student success. Currently the community and parents feel they have no voice or input with district leadership. There are three ways we can immediately begin building a collaborative relationship with the community and parents. 1. Reinstate the annual parent and community survey. 2. Open up public comment. 3. Stop the excessive time spent in executive session.

DCSD leadership made a mistake in using district resources and funding meant to educate students to develop a punitive and expensive teacher evaluation system when they could have used the state’s system for free. The development of flawed salary bands and added data mining system, InspirED, that requires teachers to spend hours “proving” their worth has resulted in a concerning loss of teachers and principals. The district needs to reconsider the use of the current system and survey teachers and principals to get valuable feedback, which will lead to a clear understanding of the consequences and weaknesses of the DCSD evaluation system.

I support the recommendations of the Long Range Planning Committee asking voters to pass a bond to meet the needs of our aging schools and prepare for future growth. It is fiscally prudent to properly maintain our schools rather than divert operations funds to repairing maintenance needs as they become critical. Currently our district meets need based on priority. When a leaking roof and fixing security doors don’t make the top list of priorities, then we are placing safety and health of our students and employees at risk.

We place too much value on standardized test scores and graduation rates. DCSD should do well in those categories due to our high income and low poverty levels. We must factor in student, parent, teacher and community satisfaction that could effectively be measured through annual surveys. A successful community is reflective of a thriving public school system.

We have lost focus on student needs. It is time to evaluate why leadership chose to “reinvent American education” using our tax dollars, our schools, our employees and our children without any parent, teacher or community input. Our school board must ask three basic questions.

1. How will these decisions affect students? 2.

What is the research or data that proves a need for policy changes or proposed spending? 3.

Can we afford it?

DAVID RAY David Ray, 54, has been a resident of Parker since 1990. He and his wife, Becky, had two children go through Douglas County School District. Ray served as an elementary principal in Douglas County for 23 years, opening three elementary schools and leading a fourth to become the first DCSD school to earn 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 bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1983 and master’s degree in educational administration in 1988.

He is enrolled in the master of arts in counseling program at Colorado Christian University, with an anticipated graduation date of December 2016.

Our most important role is holding the superintendent accountable for effective leadership that ensures all students are making adequate growth to be successful upon graduation.

This accountability involves representing the values of the surrounding community, implementing practices that reflect the expertise of educators, and continually gathering satisfaction feedback from the community.

The research is conclusive that an involved community who supports the educational system correlates to increased student achievement. Confusion, distrust and division mar the current relationship. For three years, the community has not been surveyed to collect feedback.

Allowance for public comment at school board meetings has been reduced to a fraction of the time it once was. Collaborative conversations with our community have been replaced with divisiveness and defensiveness as opposed to seeking to understand their concerns.

My actions: conduct a community survey, increase time for public comment at board meetings and respond to differing views with respect.

Stop the use of the ineffective teacher evaluation system. This district-developed evaluation system is ineffective and punitive.

It promotes compliance rather than growth. Teachers do not feel valued, affirmed, or allowed to choose practices that are best for students. Replace the market-based pay system that discriminates against different types of teachers. The current system devalues teachers by placing a lesser value on certain teaching positions.

This has resulted in losing the competitive edge in recruiting for all teaching positions. Compensating our teachers fairly, treating them with respect and providing quality instructional resources will reverse the excessive teacher turnover.

Missing the opportunity to ask for voter support for these issues results in being reactive instead of proactive. The district budget needs to be scrutinized to look for every possible reduction that does not directly impact students. District departments need to be examined for historical trends identifying excessive increases (e.g. our 2,032 percent spending increase in the communications department).

Once extreme capital needs have been met for the upcoming year, we will need to adhere to the recommendations of our Long Range Planning Committee and allow our taxpayers the opportunity to vote on whether protecting our capital needs is a priority.

The best indicators are student growth, employee satisfaction and positive community feedback. Our district has a long history of topperforming students.

This can be directly attributed to the quality of educators teaching them and the level of support and involvement of the parents and community.

Student performance has plateaued and in many cases decreased.

Our employee morale has plummeted and community feedback has stopped being collected. Unless this is reversed the success of our school district will continue to decline.

Trust needs to be restored among all constituents: students, staff, parents, and community.

Teachers need to be affirmed and trusted to do what’s best for all students. Fiscal responsibility needs to be insured for wise stewardship of our taxpayer dollars. The focus should be on our students and not on political ideologies.

RICHARD ROBBINS Incumbent Richard Robbins, 45, and his wife, Virginia, live in Elbert County and have four children. Robbins is an operations supervisor with UPS Freight. 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 2014.

Providing the broad strategic vision, mission, strategies, and priorities for the District. The board ensures the district is a good steward of the taxpayer dollar. They also oversee the hiring of the superintendent. The board is not to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the district.

It is important for the district to produce welleducated students who will be productive citizens upon graduation. Communities need to know the school board is being good stewards of their tax dollars, whether they have children in the district or not. The community reaps the rewards of a great relationship with the district by having better prepared leaders, lower crime rate, higher home values, etc.

It is important for the district to keep the local community updated. With the amount of transparency the district has, it is without a doubt, the district works hard at keeping the community updated.

Colorado currently has the best teachers around.

We have the luxury of retaining and attracting the best possible teachers because we pay them based on their performance and the scarcity of their skill. This is how we have retained 95 percent of our highly effective teachers and approximately 90 percent of our effective teachers. Our overall turnover rate of 13 percent is right in line with the rest of the Front Range. In the two years we have had the pay structure in place, I am pleased to see we have had an increase in the overall number of highly effective teachers from 15 percent to 20 percent and a decrease of our partially effective teachers from 15 percent to 10 percent.

Historically, the district has spent funds they did not have. This irresponsible spending caused the district to go into debt for maintenance of their facilities.

I suspect most homeowners of the District do not take a line of credit to perform maintenance on their home. Just as I don’t think it is prudent for the board to go into debt to fund maintenance of our schools.

Maintenance for our schools should be a budget line item and paid for by operational funds that have been saved for maintenance of our buildings.

Student growth and academic achievement are the best indicators for the progress and success of a school district.

Being the largest school district in the state to receive an Accredited with Distinction rating by the Colorado Department of Education is one indicator our district is progressing and succeeding in the classroom. Our on-time graduation rates have increased.

Our ACT/SAT scores are at all-time highs. Our students are earning the largest amounts ever in scholarships. This would not be possible without the outstanding teachers and parents we have within our communities.

The biggest issue is whether we want to continue moving forward and getting better or reverse course and limit the freedoms of choice students, parents and teachers have.

I’m excited to champion the push for continued choice and freedoms.

Freedom works!

Road rage suspect smashes windshield

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Police are searching for a man who smashed a woman’s windshield during a road rage incident in the Canterberry Crossing neighborhood.

The suspect — a man between the ages of 30 and 40 with a bald head and standing 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall — fled the scene in a red Hyundai before the Parker Police Department arrived around 5 p.m. Sept. 20.

The heated exchange between the drivers got the attention of witnesses who provided information to investigators.

However, police have been unable to identify the man and are hoping for more leads from anyone who might have witnessed

the incident.

The suspect pulled in behind the 20-year-old victim, “got in her face” and began yelling, said Sherry Corcoran, public information officer for the Parker police.

The woman got back into her vehicle, at which point the man smashed her windshield. Investigators are unsure whether the suspect used his elbow, foot or hands to cause the damage, but they believe he did not have a weapon, Corcoran said.

The suspect then attempted to remove the woman’s keys from her ignition. Police think the man lives in Canterberry Crossing or a nearby subdivision.

While the man was yelling, witnesses reportedly heard him say, “‘I’m tired of people tailgating and speeding in my neighborhood,’” said Corcoran, paraphras-

ing the comments. “That’s why we think he lives in the neighborhood.”

It’s unclear exactly what led to the altercation, which occurred on either Canterberry Parkway or Canterberry Trail.

Witnesses said a woman and two children were inside the suspect’s red Hyundai during the incident.

The Parker police exhausted all investigative leads and are appealing to the public for help. A link on the police department’s website enables anyone with information to provide a tip anonymously, Corcoran said.

“Some neighbors might be afraid (to report the suspect’s identity) because they don’t want to be on bad terms,” Corcoran said, referring to the anonymous tip link.

The suspect might have made state-

ments to friends or family members who could be reluctant to turn him in. There are “two sides to every story” and the police only have the victim’s version of events, Corcoran said.

Witnesses were unable to obtain a license plate number for the red Hyundai.

One person said the car might have had a temporary tag.

Motorists should avoid engaging another driver during a road rage incident and should immediately call police.

“It gets heated pretty quickly and you never know if they have a weapon,” Corcoran said.

Anyone with information about the incident or suspect is encouraged to call the Parker Police Det. Penny McLean at 303-841-9800.

Both sides blast proposals for oil, gas drilling input State regulators set hearings on local jurisdiction powers

By Dan Elliott Associated Press State regulators have released proposed rules to give local governments more of a say in the location of new oil and gas wells, and they quickly came under fire Oct. 7 from the energy industry and environmental groups.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission is drawing up the rules to implement the recommendations of a task

force convened by Gov. John Hickenlooper.

The governor asked the task force to address tensions over hydraulic fracturing and conflicts that arise when cities and oilfields expand into each other.

The task force recommended, among other things, that local governments be given a consulting role when energy companies are deciding where to locate large oil and gas facilities if they’re near homes or businesses. Cities and counties would not be able to enforce their own rules, however.

Regulators with the state commission released the first draft of the rules Oct. 6 and scheduled public hearings for Nov. 16-17.

Five environmental and community

groups issued a statement saying the draft rules don’t do enough to protect residents from having oil and gas operations close to their homes and schools.

“We’re getting thrown under the bus here,” said Leslie Robinson, president of the Grand Valley Citizens Alliance. “Drilling in neighborhoods spurred the recent controversies about oil and gas development in Colorado. These draft rules fail to address this root problem.”

The Colorado Oil and Gas Association, an energy industry group, said the proposals include several requirements that weren’t in the task force recommendations, including some measures to soften the impact of oil

and gas activity, and notification of local governments with jurisdiction over land adjacent to the proposed facilities, even if they don’t have jurisdiction over the site itself.

“It’s clear the draft rules far exceed the actual recommendations put forward by the governor’s task force,” association president Dan Haley said in a written statement.

Another industry group, the Colorado Petroleum Council, said it’s still reviewing the proposals but warned they shouldn’t add expensive and redundant regulations that discourage investment.

Todd Hartman, a spokesman for state regulators, declined to comment on the criticism.

Columbine Country Club will be torn down and replaced with a new 45,000-squarefoot version starting next spring. Courtesy rendering

Columbine Country Club set for new era Cheaper to rebuild than renovate, says staff

-By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Columbine Country Club is celebrating 60 years in 2015, but the building won’t live to see its next birthday.

The centerpiece of the town of Columbine Valley will tumble to the ground next spring, but from the rubble will emerge, about 14 months later, a $20 million, 45,000-square-foot replacement.

“As time goes on, it becomes increasingly expensive to upkeep an outdated facility,” said Robert Cuillard, the club’s director of membership.

It will include three indoor dining areas with several outdoor options, a 4,000-square-foot wellness center, water features, fire pits and much more. With more young families moving into the area of late, Cuillard said there will even be a child-care center.

“There certainly is a family component we want to bring more of,” said Cuillard. “We don’t want to step away from tradition, but add to it.”

The average age of the club’s 515 members is 54, so there will be plenty draws for them, as well, including an adult-only dining area and bar.

Although the town is literally intertwined with the club’s golf course, it does not own the club. It’s owned by its members, 65 percent of whom live within a 10-mile radius. Cuillard said 73 percent of them voted in favor of the plan to rebuild. That sent it on to the nine-member governing board, which unanimously approved it.

Cuillard said the golf course will be in operation throughout construction, and several temporary facilities will be in place to serve the membership.

Marsh and Associates Inc. designed the new clubhouse, and Hyder Construction is the general contractor for the project.

“The overall … design has a European flair with a Colorado sensitivity befitting the Columbine Valley neighborhood,” said Mike Marsh. “Expansive windows will provide exterior views of the course, and operable glass walls will enhance the indoor/outdoor experience.”

The club’s pool and seven tennis courts will be renovated over the winter, with plans to reopen by Memorial Day 2016. The driving range will be expanded, and a new practice facility is planned.

“With 200 youth involved in golf, 160 in swimming and 170 in tennis, Columbine has one of the strongest familyoriented junior programs in Colorado,” said Mike Bratcher, the club’s general

Members recall club’s younger days Columbine Country Club was always town’s hub

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a time when guests were received, cocktails were for parties, dinners were served on the good china and everyone who was anyone belonged to the club — literally.

Back when the Columbine Country Club was built in 1955, building homes on golf courses was nearly unheard of.

But when its founders, J. Everett and Lucy Collier, did just that on a 295-acre farm southeast of Bowles Avenue and Platte Canyon Road just outside of Littleton, it was an instant attraction for mature, successful couples who were working at emerging tech companies like Lockheed Martin, Johns Manville and Marathon Oil. “It was not so much family oriented at first,” remembered Myrna Sorenson, who has been a resident of Columbine Valley for 51 years and joined the club in 1965. “There weren’t that many children in the neighborhood.”

Even though the club is the hub for the golf course, it became about so much more.

“Everybody tried to do a better party than the last one,” said Sorenson with a laugh. “It was the epitome of entertaining. I built a lot of friendships here.”

There were toga parties and safari parties, fancy cocktail parties and beach parties. The communing spilled out of the club’s walls, as well, into bowling parties and ski parties.

“They were lovely people, very

social,” said Alice Grannell, who first joined in 1964. “It’s a family.”

And, of course, everybody remembers the highest of the highs when the PGA Tour came to town in 1967. Grannell got to drive Jack Nicklaus’ parents to their hotel in downtown Denver, and both women met as many of the famous golfers as they could.

“Arnie Palmer was kissing all the young gals, and all the young gals were after him,” recalled Grannell.

As Grannell and Sorenson reminisced, Debbie McGough listened with a smile. She just joined in 2009 and says it’s not quite the same as back in their day. But still, she likes it so much that she and her husband are building a house in Columbine Valley and are moving there from Highlands Ranch.

“I love the people, and the course is great,” she said. “We’re moving here because we want to be more involved. And this lifestyle, it just feels so peaceful.”

The McGough family will be scraping the original 1957 house and replacing it with one of their own design, something that’s happening more and more often in Columbine Valley. Sorenson, who knows it’s likely to happen to her home someday, accepts it as a sign of the times. She and Grannell both think it’s a good time to rebuild their beloved country club, as well.

“Because of the houses being so upgraded, this needs to be updated for the area,” said Sorenson. “I hope it will attract more members. I really think it’s going to help this whole area, and it will elevate property values. It’s an awardwinning course. The foresight they had in planning this community was great.

It’s so spacious and open.”

“It’s time,” agreed Grannell.

manager.

Columbine is one of just two Colorado courses to have hosted a major championship. Don January won the PGA Championship in 1967. It’s also hosted five LPGA tournaments, and is currently hosting the U.S. Amateur sectional qualifier through 2017.

“It’s a huge point of pride in our history,” Cuillard.

What a lot of people might not know is that the PGA Tour was supposed to be

there in 1966, but the Flood of ‘65 waylaid those plans.

“Renovation of the golf course and the adjacent homes was rapid, new trees were planted, and a successful PGA tournament was held in a serene and beautiful setting in 1967,” writes historian William A. Newton. “The flood was to scar the community temporarily, but the healing was to be sound and the process a binding together of residents in a common goal.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time for change on school board I have many concerns regarding statements made by the incumbents running for the Douglas County School District Board of Education relating to their desire to support our children’s education. When they were asked about the funds needed to repair aging buildings, they replied that the buildings were “good enough.” What does that mean?

Leaking roofs, ripped and torn carpet, missing ceiling tiles and failing HVAC systems are “good enough”?

My granddaughter’s classroom was collapsing in the center until emergency repairs made it “good enough.” This is not acceptable and shows a complete disregard for the safety of our students and their learning environment. In the meantime, millions are being spent in the central office on new programs sold by “business associates” of the administration. This is not good enough.

The incumbents also tout that everything is up since they took over in 2010. That is a statement I can sadly agree with! Teacher turnover is up. Every school has lost more than a few great teachers to neighboring school districts. The incumbents counter that these were mediocre teachers. Those of us who have spent time working with these teachers know that statement is patently false. The number of administrators leaving is also up. Since 2010, more than 70 administrators have left the district for other districts or have retired. Since that time, many schools have had a revolving door of principals, leading to chaos and confusion at the school.

Is that what they mean by “good enough”?

Despite the incumbents’ insistence that all is well with employee morale, anybody visiting any school can see that it is not.

I urge all Douglas County citizens to vote for David Ray, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel in the upcoming election. They will bring a badly needed student-centered voice to this school district.

Gary A. Poole Parker, retired principal of Wildcat Mountain Elementary School School board has taken its toll The financial damage inflicted by the current Douglas County Board of Education is well documented, including the $4.2 million taxpayer hit recently confirmed by Colorado Department of Education officials as avoidable had the BOE simply followed the established rules applicable to every school district in the metro area.

But there are greater costs that cannot be quantified. Evaluation of their performance must also include assessment of the social impact — the ways in which our community has been damaged by the actions of these elected representatives. These costs won’t show up on a financial report, but the casual observer can see that the social fabric of Douglas County has been torn and that few have escaped the rendering.

This BOE has broken the spirit of cooperative exchange of ideas and solutions, alienated parents, instilled fear where none should exist and wasted the career efforts of some of the most qualified teachers Douglas County has ever known. Most recently, the

political implications were clarified when this group and their supporters created even deeper fissures, pitting neighbor against neighbor, by disregarding the nonpartisan nature of the position honored by their predecessors.

The financial transgressions of this BOE can be corrected with proper management but the damage to the community will take time, and there is none to waste.

If any good can come from this experience, it’s this: The people of Douglas County are now more motivated and committed to correcting the mistakes of the last election, with a firm resolve to reclaim Douglas County schools as their own and to restore the community to a destination for those desiring the best educational experience for their children.

Jim Cloud Denver (former Douglas County resident) Let’s regain control of schools There is a battle occurring for control of our public schools. On one side are parents and community members who have been called everything from naive soccer moms to union thugs, anti-innovation, and antichoice. They are none of those.

They are comprehensively pro-public education. They are from every city and town in the county and from all political affiliations. They are in a struggle for control over the direction of public education for the children in Douglas County. They are the people closest to the action in the schools.

October 16, 2015

October is spooky month for investors October can give Wall Street the jitters.

This year is no exception but with a few new twists thrown in that has investors looking over their shoulder.

We already had the blood moon, a stock market correction and a stalled Fed. Mix in some stormy weather and shorter days to add to the ominous mood. There is just something different about this time of year. Here are some things to keep in mind as we start the last quarter of 2015.

Uncertainty about when the Federal Reserve Board will raise interest rates rattled the bond market and took a swipe out of most equities as well. It seemed strange during the very volatile days of August and September that the bond buyers were absent. Those who sold their equities were not buying bonds, therefore not helping to offset the declines in stocks with gains in fixed income. This is likely due to the concerns over a rate hike that could push bond prices even lower.

Therefore there remains a lot of cash on the sidelines while investors weigh their options. If they buy bonds before a rate hike, they could lose value quickly.

If they buy equities and the correction lingers until after earnings season, there is still a risk, even if it is short-term.

The expectations for third-quarter

• China has devalued its currency and announced revisions in its growth estimates down to the 7 percent range.

While this is a setback that affects every nation doing business with China, if the bad news is out and they are able to recover from this point forward, emerging markets could be surprising for those with a very long-term perspective. China growing at 7 percent still trumps the U.S. almost three times over.

• Europe escapes recession with the central bank promising to shore up countries in trouble. This is similar to our Quantitative Easing which spurred the stock market to above-average positive returns for five years. If this “free money” spurs higher corporate profits in the Eurozone, foreign stocks could provide a nice return over time.

Prairie dogs pop up in Elbert County

Some want all relocations to require hearings, notices

By Geraldine Smith Special to Colorado Community Media Black-tailed prairie dogs — also known as rodents, vermin, adorable or by the Latin name Cynomys ludovicianus — are a rising concern in Elbert County.

And if you have never had the pleasure, the animal in question is a diurnal, burrowing rodent, almost 15 inches in length, including a 2½-inch, black-tipped tail.

To the nature lover, observing the scurrying and interaction around their burrows, they are adorable, but to people affected by the encroachment upon their land, they are annoying vermin.

Farmers and ranchers view them as trespassers endangering their crops and animals.

In Elbert County, at issue is whether county commissioners should hold hearings with advance notice to residents anytime prairie dogs are relocated.

The question came up on Sept. 23, when John Metli, Elbert County resident and former member of the Board of County Commissioners, spoke at the commissioners’ meeting and asked for support for the Upper South Platte Watershed Association’s proposal for expansion of C.R.S. 35-7-203, a state law that bans the release of prairie dogs in any county except that from which they originated.

The intent of the revision is to legislate that county commissioner hearings be held and sufficient notice given to residents before rodents are released into the county of origin. Although

the Upper South Platte Water Association does not represent Elbert County, the BOCC sent a letter in support of the proposed legislation.

Commissioner Kelly Dore said: “We have not had an issue up to this point that the BOCC is aware of, and John Metli had concerns about this happening to citizens in Elbert County, as he was seeing this for landowners in other areas because prairie dogs do not heed county lines. The BOCC is working with CCI (Colorado Counties Inc.), Farm Bureau and other entities to figure out if this is a greater issue on the state level or can be solved by a resolution for just a county issue. We plan on following up with this and making the best decision we can after fact-finding and speaking with other citizens as well.”

The Regulation of Prairie Dog Relocation Resolution, proposed by the Upper South Platte Watershed Association (USPWA), basically recommends on behalf of the 15 conservation districts it represents that hearings and notification of hearings for the relocation of rodents be the same for intra-county as they are now for inter-county.

Bob Hastings, president of the USPWA, said: “We are looking into changing how conservation districts and local landowners are notified of prairie dog relocations. A lot of things are still up in the air.”

Major complaints from ranchers and farmers include the tendency of the black-tailed prairie dog to nibble the top of vegetation, leaving short stubs that livestock struggle to access, and the deep and wide burrow entrances that create a hazard for roving animals. The greatest worry is the slow regeneration of plants dur-

ing drought or the long winter months, leaving little grass for grazing livestock. Adding to the controversy is the failure of the black-tailed prairie dog to hibernate, causing year-round concern for rural areas of Colorado.

Prairie dogs are found throughout Colorado in great numbers, and even urban areas must seek creative ways to deal with the rodents. Developers are required to consider the well-being of prairie dogs when building on land with prairie dog colonies. Laws protecting the rodents hamper development opportunities, and the easiest answer — meeting with the least resistance from animal activists and local governments — is relocation of the rodents. County-to-county relocation is strictly regulated, starting with the passage of Senate Bill 11 in 1999, requiring the county commissioners in both receiving and sending counties

Family Owned, Family Run

to approve any transfer of the animals.

The 1999 measure provided strict guidelines for relocating rodents within another county but loosely addressed the issue of settling rodents from area to another within a county. The bill was revised and C.R.S. 35-7-203 passed, providing for the notification and approval of county commissioners regarding redistribution of rodents within their county. One exception in the revised statute was movement of rodents within “substantially the same area,” and then notification was waived.

The revised statute failed to mandate public hearings or establish specific timelines for notification of hearings to be held by the county commissioners to allow the residents of the county a forum, which is the problem for district residents at this time.

Local residents want input

when prairie dogs are slated to be transported to their regions within a county. Even though the Colorado Parks and Wildlife requires issuance of a permit to move colonies within a county, it is granted at their discretion and governed by their rules. The Colorado Parks and Wildlife website does state that a release site manager must “have a plan for minimizing or mitigating any potential damage to local property.” It goes on to require the “sending” landowners and the “receiving” landowners to grant permission for the relocation. There are no defined provisions or safeguards for neighboring properties which may be threatened by encroachment from these colonies and harm to crops or animals. The plan for minimizing or mitigating potential danger is the responsibility of each site manager and can vary accordingly.

Low-cost health insurer faces uncertain future Colorado HealthOp hopes to receive federal funding

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

Colorado’s biggest nonprofit health insurer faces an uncertain future, and its 80,000 or so customers don’t know whether their insurer will be able to offer new polices when next year’s enrollment period begins soon.

Colorado HealthOP, which emerged from the Affordable Care Act, faces possible insolvency because the U.S. government said it won’t be able to cover payments to help stabilize premiums in federal insurance markets.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said last month that it could pay only about 13 percent of a fund set up for health insurers — money promised to cover the cost of ssicker-than-anticipated customers hnationwide.

The announcement has jolted insurance cooperatives like Colorado HealthOP, which offered some of Colorado’s cheapest -coverage plans but also relied on federal funds for its first few years.

So far, the cooperative has -borrowed $72.3 million and says it needs more until it can operate without help. The co-op reported a net loss of $23 million last year. ” n o

-

“We really are counting on that money,” Colorado HealthOP CEO Julia Hutchins said.

State regulators will tell Colorado HealthOP later this month whether it will be allowed to offer insurance plans for 2016. Open enrollment also starts in a couple weeks.

That’s putting customers like Mark and Ilene Reinhart of Centennial in a bind.

The Reinharts — both parttime workers with no employer health insurance — have been with Colorado HealthOP since it launched last year. They say there should be a national outcry over the federal government failing to honor payments to insurers.

“Over the last couple years, they’ve done their part with the federal government,” Mark Reinhart said of Colorado HealthOP. “If they’ve done their part — the government really needs to step up somehow.”

But experts say that’s unlikely to happen. Technically, the health care law obligates the government to pay insurers for their claims.

But the legislation did not clearly specify how that would happen.

The Republican-led Congress is unlikely to allocate any additional money for the program, a temporary stabilization fund that lasts three years. Of the original 23 health insurance co-ops created by the federal law, four have col-

‘Over the last couple years, they’ve done their part with the federal government. If they’ve done their part — the government really needs to step up somehow.’

Mark Reinhart, Colorado HealthOP customer

lapsed — Iowa/Nebraska, Louisiana, Nevada and New York.

Colorado HealthOP insists that it has a plan to survive and that federal authorities will change course and make the payments.

But critics of the health law say a federal about-face is unlikely and that low-cost insurance cooperatives relying on government support shouldn’t be in business.

Four days after the government announced the slashed insurance payments, Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner wrote to Colorado HealthOP asking about its plan to survive. Gardner said the cooperative’s records show that its finances are in some ways more precarious than the co-ops that have already closed. He said taxpayers won’t recover those loans.

“What is the estimated ability of Colorado HealthOP to repay its loans?” Gardner asked. He hasn’t yet received a reply.

Hutchins told The Associated Press that the federal payments should not be seen as handouts but as a necessary short-term investment to help nonprofit co-ops get established.

“This is really to help stabilize the market, help keep prices low as we make the transition,” Hutchins said of the payments.

“Right now we’re fighting like hell to make Congress make good on its obligations. We’re confident we will prevail.”

With just three weeks until the start of open enrollment, the window is closing for customers like the Reinharts to keep insurance through Colorado HealthOP. “It offers great coverage for people like us,” said Ilene Reinhart, who has written to Congress seeking additional money for the fund keeping Colorado HealthOP afloat. “We’re looking at continuing it until we can’t any further.”

Teens outsmart parents with apps New apps can help teens hide content, trick parents

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com In an age of smartphones and constant connectivity, teens must now operate in a world where their every action could have possible consequences.

According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, 92 percent of teens report going online daily — including 24 percent who say they go online “almost constantly.” Pew also found a typical teen sends and receives 30 texts per day.

But not all digital interaction is positive.

“In high schools now, you don’t see freshman initiations or kids getting shoved in lockers,” said Aaron Kellar, counselor at Castle View High School in Castle Rock. “Our kids are very nice to each other in school. I think at most schools, kids are as nice as they’ve ever been in person. But they’re as nasty as they’ve ever been through technology.”

Concerned over how students are interacting with each other online and through technology — an issue increasingly being faced across the nation — Castle View High School recently gave presentations to parents and students on the dangers of online bullying and sexting.

“The topic that really got our attention this year was some of the sexting issues and inappropriate pictures that are showing up on kids’ phones,” Kellar said. “They’re getting caught up in situations that they don’t know how to get out of.”

The issue has become a districtwide concern, Kellar said, and the school wanted to educate parents and students on the repercussions resulting from inappropriate online activity.

In the technological arms race between parents and teens, students usually remain a step ahead — and have help in doing so through apps that help them communicate through nontraditional private social platforms and even one meant to disguise, hide and deceive parents.

According to Pew, more than two in five American teens, or 41 percent,

use the app Snapchat to share images and videos that are automatically deleted within a predetermined amount of time — usually a few seconds. Although apps like this advertise the ability to delete photos, many easy workarounds exist to save images, including taking a simple screen shot.

A third of teens with cell phones use private messaging apps like Kik or WhatsApp. Some apps, like Calculator%, allow users to hide images and other private media in a secret folder that appears to be and works like a traditional calculator and can only be opened when a secret passcode is entered.

“Some of these apps and the vaults (secret folders), I found on my own daughter’s phone,” Castle Rock police officer Todd West said.

West is the school resource officer at Castle View and Daniel C. Oakes high schools and said most students don’t understand how serious the consequences can be for sharing and receiving nude photos.

“If you are under the age of 18, it’s considered child pornography,” West said. “A lot of these kids think ‘I’m 16, I’m 17, and an adult.’ Well, state law says if you’re under the age of 18, you are a child.”

According to West, a picture of anything that is inside the bathing suit area is considered nudity. The state does not consider photos showing someone in underwear to be nudity.

Anyone in possession of such a photo could be held to legal consequences, including being made to register as a sex offender in serious cases.

Teens who have sent inappropriate pictures have some protections.

“If two people are dating and they sext each other, according to the (district attorney) that is fine,” West said.

“However, once it leaves their possession, that is not OK. So, if they break up, those photos better be deleted because they are now in possession of child pornography.”

The immunity clause is important, West said, because law enforcement wants to encourage teens to come forward if they have been victimized or made a mistake.

“Not that it’s OK to do it,” he said, “but if you have done it, come forward because that could be sent out across the world.”

Apps parents should know about SNAPCHAT

What it does: A photo sharing app that deletes photos after they are viewed.

What parents need to know: Although the app does delete photos after viewing, screenshots can be easily saved and then distributed to others.

VINE

What it does: Allows users to record and share six-second video clips. Teens usually use Vine to create and share silly videos of themselves, friends and families.

What parents need to know: It’s full of nudity. A simple search brings back a plethora of indecent results.

The videos you post, the accounts you follow and the comments you make on videos all are public by default.

INSTAGRAM

What it does: Lets users take, edit and share photos and 15-second videos, either publicly or with a private network of followers.

What parents need to know: Instagram Direct allows users to send “private messages” to up to 15 mutual friends. These pictures don’t show up on their public feeds. Teens may be more likely to share inappropriate images with their inner circles.

KIK MESSENGER What it does: Lets kids text for free. It has no message limits, character limits or fees if you only use the basic features.

What parents need to

know: Because it’s an app, the texts won’t show up on your child’s phone messaging service, and you’re not charged for them.

WHATSAPP What it does: Lets users send text messages, audio messages, videos and photos to one or many people with no message limits or fees.

What parents need to know: For users 16 and over.

Many younger teens seem to be using the app, but this age minimum has been set by WhatsApp. BURN NOTE

What it does: A messaging app that erases messages after a set period of time.

Unlike many other apps of this sort, it limits itself to text messages; users cannot send pictures or video.

What parents need to know: To discourage copying and taking screenshots, a spotlight-like system that recipients direct with a finger only reveals a portion of the message at a time. Unlike other apps, users can send a Burn Note to anyone, not only others who have the program.

WHISPER

What it does: A social “confessional” app that allows users to post whatever’s on their minds, paired with an image.

What parents need to know: Some use the app to try to hook up with people nearby, while others post “confessions” or secrets. The app encourages users to exchange personal information in the “Meet Up” section.

YIK YAK

What it does: A free social-networking app that lets users post brief, Twitterlike comments to the 500 geographically nearest Yik Yak users. Teens can find out opinions, secrets, rumors and more from a 1.5-mile radius.

What parents need to know: It reveals your location. By default, your exact location is shown unless you toggle location-sharing off.

Each time you open the app, GPS updates your location.

ASK.FM

What it does: A website, but can also be downloaded as an app, and allows people to follow users anonymously, and ask any question they want.

What parents need to know: No restrictions on what kind of information can be shared.

CALCULATOR% What it does: Allows private photos and videos to be hidden behind calculator.

What parents need to know: Anyone who starts this application sees what appears to be a calculator, but if you put in a passcode it will open up a private area. All files are securely stored in the app and remain completely private and confidential.

BEST SECRET FOLDER What it does: Allows users to secretly hide videos and photos.

What parents should know: The icon is disguised as “My Utilities.”

October of haunting melodies, sonic scares Few things fit October better than Halloween and horror movies — but the key to any good film in either of these genres is the right use of music.

Films such as “Psycho,” “The Exorcist” and “Halloween” deservedly receive attention for the way music heightens the tension and scares. There are, however, lesser-discussed musical moments for the season of fright.

‘The Passion of Joan of Arc’ (1928) This French silent film isn’t a horror film in any traditional sense. No scares or disfigured creatures stalk the heroine.

Just humanity’s devils. But it is a terrifying examination of the dangers of religious fanaticism. And the camera’s focus almost exclusively on the characters’ faces allows the expressions of hatred and despair to invade your head and stay there — making it an arrestingly beautiful and disturbing film.

Many scores have accompanied the film in its 80-plus years, but if you watch it now the soundtrack is composer Richard Einhorn’s “Voices of Light.” His music is as haunting as the film, especially with the sounds of an enormous choir and ominous strings. What really makes the pairing work is the libretto, the lyrics of which mainly derive from the writings of medieval female mystics. Combining the gorgeous and ethereal voice with the image of Joan’s struggle makes the film a more harrowing experience.

‘The Innocents’ (1961) Any time young English children sing

in a movie, you know the situation is about to become horrendous. This is particularly true in this underrated film adaptation of Henry James’ “The Turn of the Screw.” “The Innocents” transforms a simple children’s song into the movie’s Clarke Reader sonic theme.

LINER The film opens with a lone child’s NOTES voice singing “O Willow Waly,” written

by Georges Auric and Paul Dehn for the film. A charming — albeit incredibly eerie — children’s song, until you pay attention to the lyrics: “We lay my love and I beneath the weeping willow./A broken heart have I. Oh willow I die, oh willow I die.” The melody keeps popping up throughout the film and, by the end, takes on the most sinister of connotations.

‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ (1966) Jazz was still looking for mainstream acceptance when Vince Guaraldi broke through with his compositions for the classic, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” in 1965.

He stayed in that lane for the next year’s follow-up, adding “The Great Pumpkin Waltz” to his oeuvre of standards.

The song has that great jazz shuffle and

has always found Gregorian chant to be a bit creepy, this song expounds that fear to the breaking point.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK

‘The Shining’ (1980) The score to Stanley Kubrick’s horror mainstay, by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind, doesn’t need any help to raise your hackles. Those vocal trills and tuba theme do more than enough to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. And yet, I’ve always found the inclusion of Al Bowlly’s early jazz standard, “Midnight, the Stars and You,” to be the most ingenious musical touch.

The song is the only reprieve from the aforementioned score. But this lovely, romantic tune soundtracks the moment when Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrance decides his wife and son need some “correcting.” The far off, echo-y tone gives the song a haunting quality and firmly cements the notion Jack’s mind is finally gone.

That a swing-era jazz tune can create such uneasiness in the midst of an already intense film is nothing short of remarkable and shows just what power music has in the cinematic world.

Selection: Kelela’s “Hallucinogen,” released on Cherry Coffee/Warp Records.

Review: Kelela floors with the story of a relationship in just six tracks. Her breathy vocals and icy music creates an immediate intimacy with the listener.

Favorite song: “A Message” Best dramatic pause: “If I was your ex…/ girlfriend.” - “A Message” some of Guaraldi’s nimblest piano work, incorporating some autumnal melancholy with the woodwind instruments.

A perfect encapsulation of the season in less than three minutes.

‘The Omen’ (1976) This Richard Donner classic is responsible for what must surely be one of the strangest songs to ever receive an Academy Award nomination for “Best Original Song.”

That song — “Ave Satani” — is perhaps the most terrifying use of Gregorian chant you’re ever likely to hear, particularly with the tinkling keys and booming horns behind it.

Composer Jerry Goldsmith actually crafted the song to be the inverse (or anti, if you will) of a typical Catholic Latin Mass.

To wit, all references to Christ are replaced with Satan. As someone who

Thirsty Lion’s new fall menu Thirsty Lion Gastropub & Grill, 1605 Wynkoop in the Union Station redevelopment, recently launched a new fall menu featuring seasonal ingredients.

My former Denver Post BFF and I recently rendezvoused at the happening hot spot to sample the new fall fare.

We had (and loved) pan-seared shishito peppers with chipotle aioli dipping sauce, the pomegranate, spinach and pancetta salad with pomegranate vinaigrette and macademia nut crusted goat cheese, black cherry BBQ pork tenderloin with white cheddar mashed potatoes and bacon sauteed Brussels sprouts.

And, of course, who could resist the seasonal dessert — caramel apple cheesecake with Meyer’s rum caramel sauce and whipped cream?

Check out the entire menu at www. thirstyliongastropub/denver.

The Denver Film Society hosted Academy Award-winning actress Marisa Tomei on Oct. 7 during the grand opening of the Sie FilmCenter. Through a generous donation from Anna and John J. Sie, the Sie FilmCenter has undergone both an interior and exterior redesign and is now the permanent home of DFS. The Sie FilmCenter is made up of 11,285 square feet, concessions, a bar and restaurant and three theaters with a total of 266 seats. The exterior signage of the Sie FilmCenter was designed by ArtHouse Design and the building and the interior were designed by Semple Brown Design.

“Film is truly a vessel for history — whether through documentaries or fiction representing a moment in time,” Tomei said. “How film brings the world and worldly topics to an audience can be truly transformational and I applaud the Sie family for investing in the Denver Film Society and the society’s film festival. Being of Italian descent, I’m especially excited about the Maglione Italian Filmmaker Award.”

“The Sie Film Center is a testimony to the great legacy that Anna and John J. Sie have given to the city of Denver and to Colorado as a whole. Their legacy, through all their philanthropic investments will be celebrated through the Grand Opening of the Sie FilmCenter,” said DFS board chairman James Bunch. “We cannot thank them enough for their foresight and their incredible generosity!”

John J. Sie, who is the retired founder of Starz Entertainment Group LLC, together with his wife, Anna Maglione Sie, have been generous supporters of DFS as far back as 2000 when John and Starz donated $5 million that secured the first theater location for the organization on the Auraria Campus.

“Ms. Tomei is a brilliant actress who embodies why we choose to celebrate contemporary Italian cinema each year,” said Anna Maglione Sie. “We are thrilled to have her participate in the dedication of the Sie FilmCenter to the Denver community.”

Lone Tree features intriguing artworks Expo displays 63 pieces across range of media

IF YOU GO

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Painter Tomiko Takeda’s “The Red Shoe” received the Best of Show Award at the 2015 Lone Tree Art Expo on Oct. 3 Suggestive of an old black-and-white film, it depicts a sexy couple in blacks, grays and whites, with a single bright red shoe in the woman’s hand near the center. One starts making up stories about this pair: Who are they, where are they? Are they happy?

Conflicted? Without seeing faces, it’s hard to guess … It is hung in the hallway off the lobby, where lighting is not ideal, unfortunately, since it is skillfully rendered.

The Lone Tree Art Expo 2015 runs until Nov. 9 at Lone Tree Art Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and before productions. Sales are handled by the box office; see lonetreeartscenter. org/art-show.php.

Lone Tree Arts Center, and she was limited to selecting 63 to exhibit. Categories were: drawing, mixed media, painting, sculpture and watercolor.

In talking about her criteria, she said that a strong first impression was the starting point: “something that spoke to me which kept me engaged and looking at the piece … a color, a single brushstroke or a shape … I evaluated the execution and use of materials and then looked for what I felt was an honest effort by the artist to communicate with the viewer …”

Awards also included: “Artist on the Golf Course,” pastel landscape by Marcie Cohen, first place drawing, and “Moose,” a profile drawing of a mounted head, second place drawing. In mixed media, winners were “Ah the Mystery” by Judith Bennett, first place, and “Architectural Fantasy #3” by J. Harley Nalley, second. Pam Kram-

er’s painting of surf at the ocean’s edge, “A Storm is Coming,” took first place in painting and James Bohling’s desolate, horizontal “Country Road 4” won second place.

First place in sculpture was awarded to Sandy Graves for a bronze dog, “Sport,” and second place went to Archie Suniga’s “Challenge,” a figure climbing a wall. In the watercolor category, Ronnie Cramer’s “Elbert” depicts a big Colorado sky, county road and water tank — very quiet. John Siberell’s “ARCHMUSED” was second.

Nikolay Rizhankov’s “Apples,” a wellcrafted traditional still life, won the Commissioner’s Choice ribbon from the Lone Tree Art Commission.

Honorable mentions went to: Mary Holm, Anthony Monaco, Carol Till, Jean Brodie (we admired her “Shipping and Receiving”), Carrie Cook, Donna Cox, Jam Wong, Steve Willman and Anita Winter.

“The Red Shoe” by painter Tomiko Takeda won Best of Show in the Lone Tree Art Expo 2015, juried by Candice Pulliam. There are 63 works in the exhibit, chosen from 306 entries. It will run until Nov. 9, followed by a short exhibit of works by Takeda and other winners. Courtesy photo

Cherry Creek show all about Sondheim Musical theater legend’s life explored in production

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Chairs are arranged on three sides of the theater space and a large screen fills the fourth wall as audiences arrive for the regional premiere of “Sondheim on Sondheim” at Cherry Creek Theatre. Readers will remember “West Side Story,” “Company,” “Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Into the Woods,” “Assassins” and more musical theater that has been created by Stephen Sondheim — and audiences who attend this review will hear music they have probably not heard before.

This production combines an ongoing filmed conversation with celebrated — and personable — composer Sondheim and 65 of his songs, performed by a cast of eight strong vocalists, who sing together in combinations and occasionally solo.

Directed by the experienced Pat Payne, the production works really well, with spot-on timing, careful lighting and sound design and well-arranged piano accompaniment by Rob Lowe. Choreography will perhaps smooth out a bit more — we saw the show on opening night.

The music is wonderful and one learns a great deal about an American genius, with film and songs cleverly interwoven. Director, playwright, filmmaker, screenwriter and librettist James Lapine, who has worked

IF YOU GO “Sondheim on Sondheim” plays through Oct. 25 at Shaver-Ramsey Showroom, 2414 East Third Ave., Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 6:30 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets: $34/$29, cherrycreektheatre.org, 303-800-6578.

with Sondheim on “Into the Woods” and other musicals, conceived this multimedia review of Sondheim’s music, including many familiar songs and some seldom performed.

“Sondheim on Sondheim” was originally developed as a multimedia review for the 40th anniversary of Alliance Theatre Company in Atlanta, and it projects the composer’s personality as he talks about his creative process through the years. For example: “‘Company’ is about marriage and I’ve never been married — so I called my good friend, Mary Rodgers ….” He went on to say that “Assassins” relates to the Dallas assassination of John F. Kennedy and “comes closest to what the book writer (John Weidman) and I wanted.”

The film includes some archival film of the young Sondheim, including early footage showing him with the Oscar Hammersteins, who, he said, parented him as a teenager after his father divorced his difficult mother. He learned songwriting as well as gained some stability with that family — which really saved him, he said. He refers to

Hammerstein’s influence through the film.

An impressive segment of film shows a number of well-known vocalists singing his famous “Send in the Clowns,” which is repeated later by the cast members, who are Stephen Day, Jennifer DeDominici, Juliette Petersen, Susie Roelofsz, Dale Schuett, David W. Kincannon III, Boni McIntyre and

Brian Merz-Hutchinson.

Cherry Creek Theatre’s 168th performance was opening night, Oct. 2, according to chairman Mark Rossman. The next season was announced: “Glass Menagerie”

by Tennessee Williams, “4,000 Miles” by Amy Herzog and “The Last Romance” by Joe Dipietro.

Regis University opens new College Calendar of Events of Business and Economics Regis University will begin mentoring the next generation of Colorado business leaders with the opening of a new College of Business and Economics in fall 2015.

The new college combines an existing program from the Regis College Division of Business with the College for Professional Studies School of Management and Master of Nonprofit Management. It brings together diverse faculty, giving students a greater range of degrees, learning models and programs.

“Too much of contemporary business education offers a narrow concept of the role of business in society. Consequently, the leadership training in business schools tends to be narrow, functional, and specialized,” said Regis University Father President John P. Fitzgibbons, S.J. “The Regis School of Business and Economics will provide a broad, integrative understanding of business through a strong focus on both character and competence.”

Helping to shape the vision of the Jesuit values-centered curriculum is Founding Academic Dean Timothy Keane, Ph.D., who will join Regis this summer. Keane brings with him more than a decade of academic leadership experience, most recently at Saint Louis University’s John Cook School of Business. Prior to moving into higher education, Keane spent more than 20 years in the private sector, including serving as the founding director of Anheuser-Busch, Inc., Information Based Selling Group.

“In launching the new College of Business and Economics, Regis has committed to building leaders of conscience who will attack urgent issues facing a globalizing world. I’m fortunate to be part of this exciting future,” said Keane.

The College of Business and Economics offers programs that cater to students at every step in the educational journey, from traditional undergraduate to busy professionals, including flexible options for obtaining bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, or academic certificates in these areas of study: • Accounting • Business Administration • Economics • Finance • Health Industry Leadership • Human Resources Management • Marketing • Nonprofit Management • Operations Management • Organizational Leadership • Project Management • Public Administration • Strategic Management Traditional business school leaders echo the world’s need for the type of leader that Jesuit business schools strive to produce; mature, self-aware, ethically informed and caring graduates equipped to be innovative, influential, and committed to the service of others.

The business and financial operations occupation field is projected to add more than 800,000 jobs by 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By 2020, it is estimated there will be more than 160,000 new job openings for accountants and auditors, the largest growth of any business operations subset.

The opening of the College of Business and Economics comes on the heels of the fall 2014 launch of the College of Computer & Information Sciences.

Regis University is the only Jesuit university with a dedicated computer and information sciences school, championing people who want to study IT, science and computing as a way to tackle humanity’s biggest challenges, from poverty to clean water access to global climate change.

Mission: Building on our Jesuit tradition of values-based experiential learning, the College of Business and Economics cultivates leaders of integrity who think critically, communicate clearly, and implement innovative solutions to complex challenges. We partner with business and community leaders to enhance economic, environmental, and social well being.

Vision: The College of Business and Economics will help business become stewards of society with the goal of improving the quality of life on earth.

Ponderosa hands ThunderRidge first loss

Mustangs score on penalty kick to win 1-0

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Ponderosa soccer coach Jim Engels had a premonition his unranked Class 4A soccer team could surprise unbeaten ThunderRidge, ranked second in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll.

He figured the Mustangs could win 2-1, but he was wrong.

Ponderosa handed the Grizzlies their first loss of the season with a 1-0 Continental League win Oct. 8 at Sports Authority Stadium.

“I thought we were going to win 2-1,” said Engels. “We watched them play, and I honestly thought going into the game we were going to win 2-1. So I was a little wrong. I was confident in my team. We felt we matched up pretty well against them.”

Ponderosa improved to 5-2-0 in the Continental League and 8-4-0 overall.

ThunderRidge is now 7-1-0 in the league and 12-1-0 overall.

Key moments ThunderRidge was whistled for a foul in the penalty area with 18:51 to play in the second half. Ponderosa junior midfielder Parker Klein converted the ensuing penalty kick to tally the only goal of the

game.

Key players/statistics Klein, the league’s leading scorer, collected his 15th goal and 36th point of the season.

“If you have it in your mind you are going to score, it’s going to go in,” said Klein of his penalty kick. “I was thinking, send the goalie the wrong way, make good contact and put it in the back of the net.”

ThunderRidge keeper Shane Felde made 10 saves during the game compared to three for Ponderosa freshman goalie Cole Keith.

They said it Both coaches didn’t like the fact the game was decided on a penalty kick, but had different views on the foul.

“Sometime you hate winning on a PK, but he shoved him in the back in the box and they were doing it the whole game,” said Engels. “It was pretty legit, I thought.”

“It’s unfortunate to lose a game on a referee’s decision that was questionable at best,” added ThunderRidge coach Chris Smith. “Ponderosa played well. It was unfortunate to break a streak for a group of guys that work really hard.”

Engels hopes respect will follow the win.

“ThunderRidge was 12-0 in 5A so I guess I’m feeling about as good as I can,” he said. “We still have a lot of good teams to play and then the playoffs, and there

are some good 4A teams. It’s nice to get a little respect because in the 4A coaches’ poll we never get any respect because we have a tougher schedule and we have more losses. We’re real young. We only have four seniors and two of them start.

So our team has been up and down a little bit, but I feel we’re turning the corner.”

Going forward Ponderosa, after a game against Rock Canyon, plays Mountain Vista Oct. 15 and wraps up the regular season with an Oct. 20 contest against Chaparral. ThunderRidge is off for fall break and concludes the league season with games against Mountain Vista Oct. 20 and Regis Jesuit on Oct. 22.

Doubles play key to unlocking success Class 5A state tennis tournament set for Gates Tennis Center

PLAYERS HEADED TO STATE The following players from south-metro-area schools qualified for the state tennis tournaments.

The Class 5A will be held Oct.15-17 at the Gates Tennis Center while the 4A tourney involving Valor Christian will held in Pueblo.

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek has won 40 of the 43 boys state tennis titles since 1973, and it’s no secret that doubles play has been one of the reasons for the Bruins’ success.

“Doubles are very important,” said Creek coach Art Quinn. “Certainly the most visible positions with the most recognizable names are populated in the singles positions for obvious reasons, but the blood and guts and lot of skirmishing is done in doubles, and it’s a lot of points.”

The Bruins have captured 182 individual state championships, and 121 of them have been in doubles.

Junior Jacob Bendalin is a two-time state doubles champ.

“Doubles are so important because there are seven lines and four of them are doubles, so if you can sweep all four doubles you’ve pretty much won state already,” said Bendalin. “For Creek, doubles are especially the backbone of our pro-

Arapahoe - Jake Becker (No. 1 singles); Tyler Landon (No. 2 singles); Nathan Herr-Garrett Luhaley (No. 4 doubles) Cherry Creek - Ryan James (No. 1 singles); Robby Hill (No. 2 singles); Mitch Johnson (No. 3 singles); Jacob Bendalin-Erin Norwood (No. 1 doubles); Andy Duggan-Andy Hsu (No. 2 doubles); Ben MurraySpencer Buted (No. 3 doubles); Sam Angell-Stone Hayman (No. 4 doubles)

Pink unites football foes It was a big Continental League North game between Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon.

The Golden Eagles won, 28-24, but the real winner was what was going on to support a worthy cause.

It was Rock Canyon’s annual Pink-Out game to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Jill Lamb Foundation.

Jill Lamb, wife of Jaguars coach Brian Lamb, died from breast cancer in 2008.

Susan Cash, wife of Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash, was diagnosed with breast cancer six months ago and is undergoing treatment.

Shea Stadium for the Oct. 10 game was shaded in pink, with spectators donning pink shirts. Most players on both teams appeared with something pink — socks, tape, sleeves, gloves, towels, eye shadow and even a little pink hair.

Lauren Lamb, coach Brian’s daughter, and Cash’s daughter Kat both told emo-

tional stories about their mothers to the crowd before the game.

“It put the focus on something bigger than the game and bigger than the individual players,” said Brian Lamb.

“Stats show that Jim Benton one in eight women are diagnosed with OVERTIME breast cancer in their lives. So it’s definitely important to bring awareness to try to help some people out.”

Six Continental softball teams head to regionals Valor Christian to host Class 4A tournament

REGIONAL SOFTBALL PAIRINGS Two teams from each region advance to the Oct. 23-24 state tournament. Region tournament game times at all venues are set for 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Staff report Six Continental League softball teams gained berths in the 32-team Class 5A regional tournaments, which will be held Oct. 17, and defending Class 4A champion Valor Christian earned a chance to defend its title.

Chaparral was seeded second, Legend third, and both schools will host fourteam regional tournaments.

Two teams from each of the eight regionals will advance to the Oct. 23-24 state tournament at the Aurora Sports Park.

Rock Canyon drew a No. 13 seed, and Douglas County is a 16 seed. Mountain Vista is seeded 23rd and ThunderRidge 24th.

Valor, seeded fourth, will be the Region 4 host school for the Oct. 17 playoffs.

Ponderosa was the No. 26 Class 4A seed, and Elizabeth was seeded 27th.

Benton Continued from Page 24

had much practice on the pitch this season because he is more needed for gridiron practice.

Lee is playing both soccer and football.

And no, he’s not a kicker for the Huskies football team. He is an outside linebacker.

He’s also the second-leading Continental League goal scorer with 13 and is second in points with 36. He is fourth among Class 5A goal scorers and ranks fifth in points in Class 5A statistics.

Gotta hand it to him It’s not unusual and often times can be helpful.

Mountain Vista golfer Chris Raap smacks golf balls a long way hitting right

No. 1 Ralston Valley (16-3) vs. No. 32 Northglenn (11-7); No. 16 Douglas County (14-5) vs. No. 17 Fossil Ridge (12-6-1) Region 2 (at Mountain Range High School) No. 8 Mountain Range (17-2) vs. No. 25 Smoky Hill (12-7); No. 9 Cherokee Trail (15-4) vs. No. 24 ThunderRidge (14-5) Region 3 (at Metzler Ranch Park, Castle Rock) No. 5 Legend (17-2) vs. No. 28 Legacy (9-9-1); No. 12 Fort Collins (13-6) vs. No. 21 Denver East (15-4) Region 4 (at Broomfield High School) No. 4 Broomfield (14-5) vs. No. 29 Fruita Monument (13-6); No. 13 Rock Canyon (11-8) vs. No. 20 Columbine (12-7) Region 5 (at Brighton Youth Sports Complex) No. 3 Brighton (16-3) vs. No. 30 Grand Junction (12-7); No. 14 Arvada West (11-8) vs. No. 19 Prairie View (17-2)

Who’s hot?

It’s time to look at players who are hot.

We’ll forget about who is not.

Holy Family quarterback Chris Helbig has completed 145 of 219 passes for 2,590 yards and 30 touchdowns in six games.

He has a chance to set state passing records. If he keeps up the same pace for the remaining four regular season games, the senior will pass for 4,317 yards and 50 touchdowns — and that won’t include state playoff games, which would also be included in state records.

The state record for passing yards is 4,181 and 52 for TD passes.

Raap switched to a lefthanded putter because he was dealing with “yips” putting righthanded. Many golfers have tried this approach to give them a new feel or look.

In soccer, Heritage keeper Jack Schulze leads the Class 5A state statistics with 96 saves followed by Cherry Creek’s Garrett Brown with 89.

Chaparral’s Jordan Smith is the Class 5A softball home run leader with 10, one more than Kellsi Peterson of Highlands Ranch. Douglas County’s Clara Larson tops all Class 5A batters with 42 runs batted in while Shannon Bass of Chaparral, Hunter Huser of Mountain Range and Ralston Valley’s Rylie Strong share the lead for pitching wins with 16.

In Class 5A volleyball, two Highlands Ranch players are state leaders. Junior Melissa Evans has 259 kills and senior Maddie Betz has been credited with 565 assists.

What the polls say CHSAANow.com released its latest polls for the various high school sports on Oct. 12.

Ponderosa, an unranked 4A soccer team, upset ThunderRidge, ranked second in Class 5A, but voters were not impressed. The Mustangs remained unranked despite the 1-0 Contiental League victory on Oct. 8 over ThunderRidge. The Grizzlies slipped to fourth in the 5A ratings.

SkyView Academy (12-4) gained some notice and climbed to ninth in the CHSAANow.com Class 3A volleyball poll and was ranked just behind Lutheran.

The first-place votes in the Class 5A volleyball poll were divided. Top-ranked Cherokee Trail got six first place votes, Chatfield one, Rock Canyon one, Mountain Vista two and Brighton two.

‘Super Indian’ series is riveting Fritz Scholder’s haunting work shown at Denver Art Museum

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Brace yourself as you enter the first gallery of the new “Super Indian: Fritz Scholder 1967-1980” exhibit. Scholder’s large figures may look you right in the eye, demanding that you pay attention. The stern “Indian No. 1,” which started his Indian series, is in the first gallery waiting — painted in bright colors, as are a majority of the 40-some works in this haunting new show. It opened on Oct. 4 and runs until Jan. 17, 2016, at the Denver Art Museum. It is located on level three of the Hamilton Building.

Scholder (1937-2005) was one-quarter Luiseno (a California tribe) and claimed he was not an American Indian artist — and in the sense of the popular Santa Fe style idealized Indian art of the 1960s, he was not.

“He claimed his art was not political, but

he polarized the art world. For every position he took, he also explored the opposite perspective,” said John Lukavic, curator of Native Arts, who curated “Super Indian.”

The painter, who traveled to England and Europe as well as the U.S., was influenced by abstract expressionists such as Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, as well as painters such as Francis Bacon, Francisco Goya and Paul Gauguin, according to Lukavic, who also said, “this artist was first and foremost a colorist who used figurative art to test the limits of what art can express.”

The namesake painting, “Super Indian No. 2,” is a hulking, tired-looking buffalo dancer who is taking a break with a strawberry ice cream cone in hand — painted in 1971.

During the period when Scholder was creating his Indian series, he continued to work in lithography, especially after Tamarind Workshop moved from Los Angeles to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Denver Art Museum owns 44 of those and about 10 are included in “Super Indian,” including the highly colored “Indian at the Lake” (1977).

Nine Scholder paintings are promised gifts from Vicki and Kent Logan, who have been most generous to the DAM over the years.

Some images are humorous, such as the lithograph, “Indians With Umbrellas.” Some are grotesque, such as “Portrait of a Massacred Indian.”

There are sociopolitical statements such as “Drunken Indian No. 2” and “Indian at a Bar” and more abstract images such as “Taos Pueblo.” As his paintings grew darker, sales slowed down after a run of sold-out exhibits. The brushwork throughout is textured and rich.

Lukavic writes about themes Scholder explored: his early Indian series, his pop art sensibility, his psychological portraiture, his exploration of the dark, mysterious and morbid, and his treatment of stereotypes and representation.

The large “Dartmouth Portrait No. 14” (1973) spins off Edward Curtis, who made Indians dress up as he thought they should and painted their portraits. This slouching man with a turned-down mouth and an

“Super Indian No. 2,” oil on canvas (1971), is the namesake painting for the exhibit “Super Indian: Fritz Scholder 1967-1980” at the Denver Art Museum through Jan. 17.

Courtesy art animal headdress is a stunning, brightly colored example of that kind of send-up.

Walk through the galleries more than once because impressions will change as one absorbs more details of these intense images. Better yet, return a week later to revisit.

The museum’s gift shop has a nicely designed, colorful catalog of the show for those who will enjoy dwelling on these astonishing paintings at greater length at home.
