Trail to connect northern part of county Douglas County, Castle Rock, Lone Tree, Parker routes benefit from GOCO grants

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com A $2 million grant from Great Outdoors Colorado — which invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds in state parks, trails, wildlife, rivers and open spaces

— will complete a regional trail project that began in 1986 in Highlands Ranch to create a connection through Lone Tree to Parker.

The extension will finish the East-West Regional Trail between Redstone Community Park in Highlands Ranch and the Cherry Creek Regional Trail in the Town of Parker, but also open hundreds of miles in trail use throughout the state, said Randy Burkhardt, assistant director of Parks and Trails with Douglas County, which started the regional trail project in 1986.

The grant, awarded to Douglas County in conjunction with the Town of Parker, builds an eight-mile segment from Lone Tree to Parker, marking the final phase of an approximate 30-mile construction project that began in 2002, Burkhardt said.

“It ties all of northern Douglas County together,” he said. “But on a grander scale, through various trail systems, it actually ties Denver to Durango.”

The grant is one of six awarded in the first phase of funding under Great Out-

doors Colorado’s new “Connect Initiative” program, which seeks to close trails gaps throughout the state. It plans to invest $30 million in closing state trail gaps over the next three years.

The Town of Castle Rock is one of the other recipients: A $1 million grant will extend the town’s East Plum Creek Trail system by two miles. To date, it is the largest Great Outdoors Colorado Grant the town has received.

NEWS IN A HURRY Flagpole dedication set for Veterans Day Local officials, veterans and members of the Rotary Club of Parker will be on hand to dedicate a new flagpole at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the gazebo in O’Brien Park in Parker.

The flagpole was provided through a generous gift by the Rotary Club of Parker.

The mayor, Honor Guard from the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority, a Colorado Air National Guard chaplain and veterans will attend, and the Chaparral High School Jazz Choir will perform the national anthem.

The event is free and open to the public.

A glimpse of the people in our community

JENNIFER NYSTROM Exotic pet entrepreneur Lifelong love I’ve lived in Parker over 20 years and my husband and I opened the store, Parker Exotic Pets, almost five years ago.

At home, we have three horses, two dogs and about five or six barn cats right now.

I have been around animals my whole life. I had bunnies as a kid, I worked in a salt-water fish store when I was a teenager and I went through a phase with several different animals, birds, horses, snakes, bearded dragons.

When I got ready to open the store I got into reptiles, sugar gliders and hedgehogs.

Before I opened the store I also bred chameleons. They’re so cute when they’re young and little. We had one chameleon lay 46 eggs once. The poor thing looked like a bag of marbles.

Setting up shop I quit a really good job with Douglas County to open the store. It was my husband’s idea for us to start a business, and when I said “we should open a pet store,” I didn’t think he would take me seriously. But he did, so here we are. It was quite a change to go from being a right-of-way agent to retail.

Everybody thinks owning a pet store is fun, and it is, but petting the animals is just a small part of it. Most of the work is cleaning. I spend probably 80 percent of my time doing that.

Both of my sons work here. One is 11 and the other is 13. They help with feeding the animals, helping customers, cleaning, bagging crickets, and my older

son does inventory on the computer.

Even customers will compliment me on the job they do and it’s really cool to see them turning into little businessmen.

Setting up for success Our thing is that we want people to succeed with their animals. It’s all about education. If they don’t have the skills because they lost an animal when they were young, or just don’t have any idea what they’re doing, they’re not going to get anywhere. Every week between one and five people will come in, sometimes referred by one of the big pet stores, and they come for advice. You have to do your research before you buy an animal, or the animals suffer for it.

The most fun that I have is hearing people come back and talking about all of their experiences with their little critters. One of the hardest parts of the job is hand-feeding all of the birds, sometimes for years, and then they get sold. It’s like giving up one of your own because you put so much time and love into them.

Elections office offers assistance Douglas County residents who plan to vote in the general election and need elections-related assistance can visit six voter service and polling centers. The stations will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning Oct. 24 and each weekday until Election Day, Nov. 8. Centers will also be open on two Saturdays, Oct. 29 and Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

On Election Day a total of 15 voter service and polling centers will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Through a cooperative agreement with the school district, all nine Douglas County high schools will be designated as voter service and polling centers on Election Day.

Life Care, Parker Adventist offer free seminar Life Care Center of Stonegate and Parker Adventist Hospital will host “Healthy Back,” a free educational session for men and women of all ages, between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Nov. 3. The event will be held at Life Care Center of Stonegate, 15720 Garden Plaza Drive in Parker.

According to The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), about 80 percent of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lifetimes. In a recent survey, more than 25 percent of adults reported problems with low back pain during the past three months.

“It is vital that we know how to reduce our risk of developing back problems and arm ourselves with information if we fall victim” said Amber Torbert, RN, BSN Spine Clinical Coordinator at Parker Adventist Hospital.

Election officials urge voter preparation Douglas County ballots contain a number of important issues this year, and election officials hope voters will take the time, at home, to educate themselves on the issues.

“If they’re trying to read through everything in the booth, it’s going to back the whole thing up,” said Merlin Klotz, clerk and recorder for Douglas County.

Once inside the voting booth, voters have a 10-minute limit to fill out their ballot.

Klotz recommends everyone with a blue book summarizing ballot issues keep it available and read up on at least one proposal per day.

While the majority of voters in Douglas County utilize mail-in ballots, many prefer voting in person for sentimental reasons, or need to vote at polling stations because they haven’t renewed their mailing address.

Register to vote, obtain a personalized ballot, receive assistance, obtain a replacement ballot, or drop off ballots by visiting one of the voter service and polling centers.

Center locations and more information is available from the Douglas County Elections Office by phone at 303-660-7444 or at DouglasVotes.com.

School board at stalemate after vote on new member

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County Board of Education member David Ray said the election of a new board member is an opportunity to show the community the directors can “find common ground.”

Instead, they have found another disagreement.

The divided board of education was unable to elect a new member to represent District E during its meeting Oct.18 after a series of gridlocked votes and discussion. The position was vacated by Doug Benevento, whose resignation was effective Sept. 8.

Of the six who interviewed, four candidates were nominated: • Steve Peck, of Highlands Ranch, a former officer in the Navy who works as a health care executive at UCHealth Anschutz.

• Deborah O’Dell, of Highlands Ranch, vice president of business intelligence at the Catholic Health Initiative.

• Bob Kaser, of Castle Pines, a retiree

who worked as the regional vice president for America’s Cash Express and is a Vietnam veteran.

• John Freeman, of Highlands Ranch, a retiree who worked as a central office administrator at Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky.

Candidates to represent the district — which encompasses Lone Tree, Acres Green, Castle Pines and eastern Highlands Ranch — were nominated and then voted on individually. All four finished two rounds of voting with 3-3 ties. A candidate needs a 4-2 majority to be selected for the position.

The three board members who have largely opposed the school district’s reform measures of the past several years each supported a different candidate during the meeting. David Ray nominated Kaser, Wendy Vogel nominated Freeman and Anne-Marie Lemieux nominated O’Dell.

Meanwhile, the three pro-reform board members were in agreement on their choice. Board President Meghann Silverthorn, Vice President Judith Reynolds and board member James Geddes supported Peck for the position.They pointed to the fact that he has a young family and a different background from other board

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Money was on the agenda for the Parker Town Council meeting on Oct. 17, leading to a divided vote on an ordinance to impose fees for businesses paying sales tax the old-fashioned way.

Council voted 4-2 to approve an ordinance to impose a fee on businesses that file sales tax forms and payments on paper. The ordinance is intended to encourage business owners to use online tax filing systems and streamline the entire process, according to Parker Finance Director Don Warn.

Warn proposed a fee of $20 per paper return filed, though the actual amount will be decided in a future vote.

“If we can get more people filing online as opposed to paper it would be much more efficient,” Warn said before the meeting. “We have staff that are spending four hours a day just doing data entry for tax returns. That’s a lot of time wasted doing clerical work.”

But Councilmember Joshua Rivero opposed the policy, saying it punishes small

business owners who collect sales taxes on behalf of the town.

“These businesses aren’t the taxpayers, they are the tax collectors,” Rivero said during the bill’s comment period.

After the meeting, he elaborated on that concern.

“It irks me that the town would look to penalize the people who are collecting the town’s revenue,” he said.

In making the proposal, Warn said the fee would be “pretty much a wash” for entrepreneurs, considering the cost of stamps, envelopes and the time spent sending the check through the mail. He also stressed the need for funds to address the administrative costs of processing the returns.

Rivero said he understands the town has to cover those costs, but he would prefer an incentive-based system over a penalty. He suggested waiving a $10 biannual registration fee business owners currently pay to do business in Parker. He added it’s an entrepreneur’s decision to pay sales taxes in a way that’s comfortable for them.

“We have a high number of mom and pop businesses in Parker, and not everybody is comfortable sharing their information online,” he said.

Councilmember Amy Holland also voted against the measure.

Council approves revised budget

Additional revenues, expenses balanced Staff report Town council unanimously approved revisions to Parker’s budget on Oct. 17, adding more than $680,000 to the bottom line for 2016.

‘We were just barely getting by’ Community center in the works hopes to help struggling area families

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Amber Kuminka’s husband lost his job, the family fell into what she describes as suburban poverty.

“We were just barely getting by,” the Parker resident said.

But it was difficult to reach out for help in a community known for its high standard of living and abundance of resources, she said, “where everybody thinks that nobody has problems.”

“We weren’t living an elaborate lifestyle,” Kuminka said. “But we wanted to make sure we could pay for dance classes so our daughter would feel a sense of stability.”

With her family now back on its feet, Kuminka has partnered with like-minded people in the area to start Grow Community Center and Café — to hopefully be able to throw people in struggling situations caused by unexpected circumstances a life preserver.

Negotiations are underway to open the facility in the Twenty-Mile Depot shopping center, hopefully before the end of the year.

The community center will provide a variety of services to people from all backgrounds. The focus will be on mental and physical health and it will offer counseling programs, nutrition workshops, meditation classes, fitness classes and yoga. Other programs in planning stages include a day-care center and a farm-totable food bank.

In the beginning, the center will be privately funded and providers will volunteer their talents. Kuminka said the center will employ a “pay-as-you-can-afford-

and-more” system for clients. An introductory event, #ParkerLives, was held at O’Brien Park on Oct. 16, which gave attendees a preview of the center’s layout and Kuminka and her partners a leg up on fundraising.

“If you can’t afford to pay, you don’t have to, but maybe the person sitting next to you who can afford to would pay for you,” she said. “We want to create a place where people can come and know we won’t expect anything from them in return.”

Addressing financial problems for families in Douglas County is one of Grow’s goals, but the group’s impetus was the incidence of teen suicides in the area in recent years.

Part of the solution to the tragedy is to connect generations, Kuminka said. She envisions programs for “everyone from babies to seniors,” to provide a family-like connection for modern children, teens, adults and seniors whose families may be

spread out around the country.

“Families used to live on the same block. There was an aunt and an uncle, there was a grandparent,” she said. “We’re trying to make that happen so the youth don’t fall through the cracks.”

Another component, she said, is just providing a space for teens to hang out.

Movie theaters, malls and other activities may be standard pastimes for teens, but they require money and don’t develop the skills Kuminka hopes they will cultivate at Grow.

“This is about emotional and physical development and getting them involved in the community,” she said. “Everybody has a role to play.”

Getting as many people as possible in the community to support Grow will be key to its success, Kuminka said.

“It only works if people get involved,” she said. And “at the end of the day, everybody wants to help somebody.”

Local, regional candidates make their case Chamber of Commerce hosts forum at PACE

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Parker venue known for plays and performers was home to a bit of political theater on Oct. 18, as the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual candidate forum at the PACE Center.

The event was intended to provide a civil platform for state, county and town candidates to introduce themselves to area voters. In his welcoming address, chamber CEO Dennis Houston stressed the civil aspect to the civic experience, and invited the candidates to forget the drama of the national-level election and focus on the issues.

“We expect (the candidates) to treat each other with respect and be polite,” Houston said. “At the end of the day, we’re all neighbors.”

The candidates obliged, and other than a few minor violations of the oneminute time limit for response, everyone played fair.

Roderick and Laura Nell Borden came from their Stone Canyon apartment to attend the forum with their 2-year-old son, Thomas. They stayed for the entire three-hour meeting to get a sense of who the candidates are and where they stand on issues like growth.

Parker is “growing really quickly, so I want to see what it is that they have in mind for the massive growth that’s coming through,” Roderick said.

“Pretty much every couple of weeks we see a license plate from someplace else,” Laura Nell added. “We came out here from New York almost a year ago, so we’re not exactly insiders yet, but it’s kind of astounding to see.”

Moderators Bill Hall and Ken Molcsan also asked candidates their stances on state ballot initiatives concerning universal health care and raising the minimum wage. The forum also covered

Photo by Tom Skelley a gamut of other pertinent topics, from addressing transportation and traffic to how to accommodate the region’s growing senior population.

But with 14 candidates in five races to get through in roughly three hours, there wasn’t a lot of time for details in candi-

dates’ responses to questions. After the presentation, many of the candidates said it was difficult to squeeze all of their words into the allotted time, but they still felt the event was a successful outlet to familiarize themselves to voters.

And for voters like Laura Nell, that

was the point.

“I was interested in getting a more general idea of what candidates are standing for and what’s important to them, and I think they all did cover that, honestly,” she said. “I know how they’re different, at least.”

Some of the highlights from the candidate forum

Cellfina®: Permanent Solution for Cellulite

State Senate District 4

On the topic of workforce development: Republican candidate Jim Smallwood said there is a lack of skilled laborers in Douglas County, and that it is a “disservice to our kids” in the region to make them feel that their only option for success is to obtain a college degree.

Democratic candidate Christina Riegel referred to her Air Force experience, saying she would like to see apprenticeship and journeyman programs similar to those in the military used in the private sector.

State House District 44

On addressing the growing number of seniors in Douglas County: Tim Hicks, the Democratic candidate, proposed private-public partnerships to address the growing issue of senior transportation. He said he would like to see a program such as “Uber Senior” to provide affordable rides for active seniors.

Kim Ransom, Hicks’ Republican opponent, said the money already exists in state budgets to address these types of problems.

The problem, she said, was getting rid of “fluff” and pet projects in the budget that divert the necessary funds.

Douglas County Board of Commissioners

What accomplishments would you like to look back on four years from now?

Democrat Erica Bullock-Jones said she would like to see more transportation infrastructure, including walkable neighborhoods and affordable transportation for seniors, either under construction or completed during that time.

Republican Lora Thomas said she would like to see more nonprofit groups involved in helping address seniors’ needs, and she would like to explore other ways to distribute funds raised from the county’s 1 percent sales tax.

Incumbent Republican Roger Partridge said he would like to continue the county’s debt-free status by balancing the budget, as well as see continued improvements to the county’s use of renewable water supplies.

Parker Town Council

How do you view the challenges and opportunities that come with Parker’s rapid growth?

Incumbent Councilmember John Diak said the increased population increases the potential for the expansion of trails and parks, and other recreational facilities and activities.

Candidate Terry Dodd said the issues involved with Parker’s growth present an opportunity for civic leaders to get the community more involved in the decisionmaking process.

Incumbent Debbie Lewis said more people moving to Parker creates the potential to add more shopping and other amenities in the town.

Joshua Rivero, also an incumbent, said growth is an opportunity to add more businesses and amenities to downtown and surrounding areas.

Challenger Jeff Toborg said growth provides an opportunity for recreational development but also creates issues with high-density housing that need to be addressed.

What accomplishments would you like to look back on at the end of your term?

Candidate Cheryl Poage said she’d like to address the issues of high-density housing and increased standards for developers to maintain the old town feel and assuage traffic in the town.

Mayor Mike Waid said a mayor’s role is to act as a conduit between citizens and government officials in the town, and that he planned to be accessible to community members.

Avoiding cancer: The mastectomy choice

Castle Rock woman has surgeries following genetic testing

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com Stephanie Burgess, 39, is ready for 2016 to be over.

The Castle Rock mom of two recently underwent a hysterectomy and a double mastectomy. The decision came after genetic testing showed she had a 70 to 90 percent chance of getting ovarian and breast cancer.

The scare hit close to home.

When Burgess was 22 years old, she lost her mother to ovarian cancer.

Starting from age 19, she was a primary caretaker during the three-year battle.

Watching her mother try every treatment to no avail was devastating as a daughter, she said. Now, as a mother herself, she wanted to take every precaution to ensure she would never have to say goodbye to her children.

But having the surgeries was an admittedly difficult decision.

“Sometimes, I wake up and say `I can’t believe I did that,’ ” Burgess said.

Her body no longer feels like her own.

Although she’s soon starting reconstructive surgery, it’s not the same the self she

knew before, Burgess said.

Recovery time also has its setbacks.

Movement is limited in the weeks after a mastectomy and it comes with some pain.

And yet, Burgess said, it was worth it. She can explain why through a single statement her surgeon made before beginning the mastectomy.

“Your risk is 84 percent right now,” the doctor said, about getting breast cancer. “When I wake you up, I’m going to tell you that it’s 4.”

While the average person’s risk of breast cancer is 12 percent, those carrying the BRCA 1 or 2 gene have an 80 to 84 percent chance of developing breast cancer, according to Burgess’ breast surgeon, Joyce Moore.

Moore has been in practice for 23 years and works at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree. A mastectomy can lower a woman’s risk of breast cancer by up to 90 percent, she said.

“It’s not as bad as they think it is,” Moore said about the procedure. “It’s not like their grandmothers’ mastectomies.”

Today’s surgeries are less painful and less disfiguring than those of decades past, she said. Women can also make the choice to have reconstructive surgery.

It’s not a requirement, she said, but it sometimes gives women a result that allows them to feel like themselves again.

Like any medical procedure, there

monitor for signs of cancer and calls for biopsies when necessary. The process to diagnosis is stressful, she said, especially when a routine mammogram is enough to make some women nervous.

Having the surgeries is often to bring mental relief, she said.

Carrying the BRCA gene has, in a way, made her feel lucky, Burgess said. Because she knew she was predisposed to the disease, she had the opportunity to act — something her mother didn’t have.

Toward the end of her mother’s battle, she asked Burgess’ permission to go.

Burgess believes knowledge is power: Knowing whether or not you have a cancer-causing gene allows you to make the best decisions for your health.

However, it can also be a strenuous situation, said Jinnah Phillips, a breast radiologist at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital. Knowing about the high risk factor can lead to psychological and emotional turmoil for women, she said.

a “family dinner” that would appeal to everyone at the table.

“If you have a kid that doesn’t like lima beans, you don’t serve them that for every meal,” said Mariner, cultural director for Parker Arts. “You have to serve something that appeals to them, and you still have to get the lima beans in there sometimes for the nutrition.”

Selling productions by the Parker Chorale, the Parker Symphony and the community production of “The Nutcracker” was never difficult. PACE’s challenge,

including third-degree assault and failure to provide proof of insurance, were dropped.

Each of the counts Munoz pleaded guilty to carries a maximum sentence of 12 years. In addition, Judge Shay Whitaker advised Munoz that fines of up to $750,000

“We are absolutely thrilled to be one of the six projects identified,” said Jeff Brauer, director of Parks and Recreation in Castle Rock.

Lone Tree and Parker officials also were excited about their grant.

“The east-west trail is a marvelous amenity to the City of Lone Tree as well as

October 28, 2016 she said, was striking the right balance between community productions and national acts.

“In the first few years they had to try everything,” Mariner said. “They had some shows that only sold 30 to 40 percent, and they had some sellouts.”

A ratio of approximately one-third nationally-renowned performers and two-thirds of regional, community-based acts has been working well for the past few years, she said, but it was “learning by doing” that got the team there.

“We finally found our formula,” Mariner said.

Another of PACE’s initial challenges or, as Mariner said “opportunities,” was attracting and retaining an audience

comprised of disparate demographics.

Performing arts centers typically have a natural audience of patrons age 55 and older, Mariner said. With Parker’s growing population skewing younger — the average age of residents being just under 40 — another balance had to be found.

Bringing in musical productions and matinees like “Beauty and the Beast” gives the town’s youngest residents a child-friendly entertainment option, Mariner said, while booking more contemporary performers like Rusted Root gives their parents an opportunity for a date night. Combining those types of performances with tried-and-true local performances has involved patrons from across the demographic spectrum.

“People are incredibly proud that Parker has a performing arts center of this caliber,” Mariner said, pointing to the nearly 500 memberships from area families that help sustain the center’s budget.

“People like coming to the performances, but they also like being connected.”

With strategies in place for putting quality performances on the stage and diverse audiences in the seats, Mariner is looking forward to the next five years.

Mariner said she feels the community’s support every time she looks across the audience — though she has another word for it.

“It’s an emotional sense I get from the audiences here,” she said. “It’s love.”

could be imposed.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 20.

District Attorney George Brauchler said Munoz, a Parker resident at the time of the crash, faces a wide range of sentencing options, from a probation-only sentence to 24 years in prison. But he added that he expects Munoz to serve time.

“It’s hard for me to envision a situation where somebody kills two people and doesn’t spend any time in prison,” Brauchler said.

Munoz appeared in court in a yellow jumpsuit, shackled at the ankles. Her voice shook and she wiped away tears as she responded to questions from Whitaker and Deputy District Attorney Brian Eckhardt, but she wasn’t asked to make a statement.

The charges against Munoz stem from a crash on Feb. 27, when Munoz swerved out of the southbound lane of Highway 83 near North Russellville Road, crossed a median and struck two oncoming motorcycles, killing the Lehners and injuring a second motorcyclist, Joseph Bartoletti of Colorado

Springs.

At the scene, Munoz confessed to a police officer that she had been drinking and smoking marijuana in the hours before the accident. She also admitted to checking a text message immediately before drifting into the northbound lane.

Cara Denney, a friend of the Lehners, expressed relief after the hearing.

“I’m really excited to see her be accountable for her actions,” Denney said. “I’m hoping the judge imposes a stiff sentence, to set an example.”

Douglas County residents, said John Cotten, Lone Tree’s director of public works.

“Great Outdoors Colorado recognized the value of closing the final gap ... which completes a vision that has been over a decade in coming to fruition.”

Jim Cleveland, director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space in Parker, noted the enthusiasm that residents and elected officials in Douglas County have traditionally shown for trails and the outdoors.

GOCO’s Connect Initiative enhances “the quality of life for all residents of Douglas County for years to come,” he

said.

Design phases for the East-West trail segment have begun and construction is scheduled for 2017 and 2018.

In Castle Rock, the East Plum Creek Trail extension will connect the communities of Crystal Valley Ranch, Kings Ridge, Heckendorf Ranch and The Lanterns with Castle Rock’s historic downtown, Brauer said. They also will provide people with more access to the creek area, parks and open spaces.

It’s an exciting opportunity for a town that makes significant use of its trails. “We

know that over 80 percent of our residents here in Castle Rock use the trails,” Brauer said.

The East Plum Creek Trail currently travels the six miles from Castle View High School to South Perry Street. Its completion was included in the 2015 Parks and Recreation Master Plan. While the town is required to match the grant funds, the $1 million will help offset those costs, Brauer said.

Design plans for the extension will begin in 2017 and construction in 2018 or early 2019.

VA wait lists draw fed scrutiny

By Dan Elliott Associated Press Government investigators said they are looking into allegations that Department of Veterans Affairs employees in Colorado kept unofficial lists of veterans waiting for health care that could conceal how long it takes to get an appointment, possibly broadening a nationwide scandal.

The VA’s internal watchdog announced an audit in a letter Oct. 19 to Republican Sens. Cory Gardner of Colorado and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter.

Johnson and Gardner asked for the inquiry after a whistleblower told them the lists were allegedly used at the Denver VA Medical Center and VA health clinics in Colorado Springs and the Denver suburb of Golden.

The inquiry by the VA’s inspector general also will look into the whistleblower’s allegations that records at the Colorado Springs clinic were falsified after a veteran took his own life while

awaiting treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

Unofficial or secret lists have been used at VA facilities across the country to hide lengthy delays in care for veterans. Forty veterans died while waiting for appointments at a Phoenix VA hospital.

The scandal led Congress to fund the Veterans Choice program, which allows veterans to seek private care at government expense if they have waited 30 days or longer. It also led to the ouster of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki.

Johnson and Gardner asked for the inquiry four weeks before the Oct. 19 letter from VA Inspector General Michael J. Missal, which was the first confirmation that the audit would be done.

It also confirmed that the alleged wait lists were unofficial records that could hide true wait times.

In a written statement, Gardner said he welcomed the inspector general’s announcement. He called the allegations serious and said they should be reviewed thoroughly.

VOICES

LOCAL

If the shoes fit, wear them all In my closet are two exact same pairs of shoes. Exact same except that one pair is exceptionally worn and the other pair is still brand new.

I have had the same shoes even years before, and I loved them so much, they were so comfortable that when I went to replace them and found that they were still available I actually purchased two more pairs instead of just one. They are brown business casual shoes. A little too casual to wear with a suit, but great for an informal business meeting.

After having parted with my original pair, I continued to wear one of the new pairs on a regular basis. Now maybe it was the way I walked or how I drove my car, maybe how I placed my feet under the seat in front of me on an airplane, but the front of my brown shoes would get scuffed, worn out, or scratched. After a while they looked almost too worn to wear. But what was I waiting for?

I had another brand new pair in the closet and could easily move right into those.

Here is what was running through my head, “I know I can get one more use out of these worn-out shoes. If I wear the new shoes they will just get worn out too. Maybe next time I will wear the new ones.” And so it went, the old ones went on my feet and the new ones remained pristine in my closet.

How silly and how ridiculous. Again, what was I waiting for?

Then I started thinking about everything else that I might be protecting for use sometime in the future. What good are shoes or skills, talents, resources, or even words if we have them Michael Norton and we are saving them for use at a later WINNING time? You see, just like WORDS my shoes were intended to be worn, so is life. We are not here to simply put ourselves on a shelf, in a closet, in a pocket, or to remain quiet when something important needs to be said or done. We were meant to live life to the fullest, whether we get through clean and unscathed, or like those old shoes, we get scuffed, scratched, and worn out.

Zig Ziglar said, “We were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness.”

But if we keep ourselves on the sideline, how will we ever know what we can accomplish,

where and when we will meet with success, or just how great we can be?

So today was the day. As I got dressed, the new shoes made their way to my feet and a new inspiration filled my heart and my head. Inspiring shoes? Yes, inspiring shoes, because I was reminded of what else I wasn’t doing or using in my life that would add value to my own journey or add value to the lives of others. I left my closet with a “Look out world, this is going to be a big day” attitude.

So how about you, what are you holding on to or waiting to use? Is it that new golf club? The new car mats? Are you waiting to use the words you know that someone needs or wants to hear, maybe even longs to hear?

Whatever it is, I would love to hear all about it and how you will stop waiting, get off the sideline, and get into the game of life at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we remember that we were designed for accomplishment, engineered for success, and endowed with the seeds of greatness, it really will be a better than good week.

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

Boris Karloff was only 5 feet 11 inches tall.

In “Frankenstein,” he appeared to be much taller.

Special effects.

Special effects don’t interest me now.

They did when I was 9.

The news is full of blood, gore, mutilations and monsters.

And so is Halloween. You

can have it.

Melodramatic fictionalizations of horror, starring phantoms, ghouls, goblins and death, have been in existence throughout history.

It seems to me that there is enough of it in nonfiction to go around.

I saw a friend just the other day. He was getting ready for Halloween.

He said, “I’m putting on a zombie. It’s escapism, Smith.”

Real life is full of zombies already. It’s packed with them.

I said, “Why not put on some Beethoven instead?”

Zombie said, “Huh?” Most people, it seems, can separate the two, namely real demons and fake demons, buy some fake blood, smear it on a costume and go out and party.

And not give it a second thought.

In late October, you can be a vampire, a voodoo priestess or a Democrat, and scare the blue Johnnies out of your friends.

I was a horror film fan when I was a kid. I’m not sure why.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support local arts with your vote I’m tired of all the negativity of this election cycle, but we can take heart knowing that one wholesome, positive, uplifting question will appear on our ballot this year: Ballot Issue 4B, SCFD (Scientific & Cultural Facilities District). Voting Yes on 4B is our opportunity to renew support for the long-standing measure that funds public access to roughly 300 different art, culture, nature and science organizations and the enrichment programs they offer in Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Boulder, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties. I used to work for Denver Zoo and saw the opportunities that the SCFD funds provided firsthand.

For 28 years, the one-penny-on-$10 sales tax has played a vital role for hundreds of nonprofit cultural organizations. Thanks to SCFD, citizens and families in our sevencounty region have access to rich and diverse cultural opportunities. Think the Zoo. Think the Museum of Nature and Science. Locally, think

Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation, Lone Tree Arts Center and Parker Arts.

For example, according to the Parker Arts website, “SCFD enables Parker Arts to offer free events like PACE Patio Parties, Concerts in the Park, and the Honey Festival.

It funds scholarships for youth education classes offered by Parker Arts. SCFD has made it possible to bring elementary and middle school students to PACE for special morning performances. The funding from SCFD helps bring the high quality programs that so many of us enjoy at PACE and The Schoolhouse.”

The SCFD’s model for funding is the envy of the nation. It is why civic groups and elected officials across the seven counties have endorsed 4B, including Lone Tree City Council and former Mayor Jim Gunning, Parker Town Council and Mayor Mike Waid, Douglas County Commissioners and South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce — to name just a few. The SCFD is our region’s best success story.

We need to keep it going.

Compromise (verb): settle a dispute by mutual concession; meet each other halfway, come to an understanding, make a deal, make concessions, find a happy medium, strike a balance; give and take Directors Lemieux, Ray and Vogel were prepared to compromise by voting in their second and third choice to fill the current board vacancy. They literally begged Silverthorn, Reynolds and Geddes to do the same.

members as positive attributes.

Peck’s candidacy faced opposition from Ray, Vogel and Lemieux, who voiced concern about his lack of familiarity with the district, general opposition to new tax measures for district funding and community concern about his involvement with the program Leadership Group of the Rockies, which they said is politically partisan and would be divisive to the community.

“What you’re doing is you’re saying to everybody that picking somebody that shares your particular point of view, your particular political ideology, is more important than coming together,” Vogel said.

Silverthorn defended the program, saying it is a leadership-training program that promotes freedom and liberty and said the members of the board who said it was as an issue don’t fully understand what it is.

“They don’t know what its goals are,” Silverthorn said. “They don’t understand that it is not a partisan organization by law. It does not advocate for political campaigns. It does not advocate for issue causes. It advocates for a certain point of view. Because someone goes through LPR, does not mean they are going to show up and start causing controversy.”

Lemieux said community members had voiced concerns about Peck to her and she didn’t think it was smart to elect a controversial candidate to the board.

Ray and Vogel offered to vote in favor of any of the other three candidates in

compromise could be reached.

Since becoming board president, Silverthorn has been willing to throw Robert’s Rules of Order out the window in order to get her way, but Oct. 18 was a new low. It was stunning to watch the board president and vice president not even adjourn the meeting, but get up and walk out with no explanation, when a motion was made that didn’t suit their political agenda. I expect behavior like that from toddlers, not from adult professionals, in charge of an entire school district. They should both be ashamed of their behavior. Geddes had, of course, already left by then.

If Directors Silverthorn, Reynolds and Geddes are unwilling to discuss and vote for any other candidates in order to reach a compromise, I think all three should step down, as they are unable to fulfill their duties to the students and taxpayers of this district.

As the doctor, he attends parties, and gives lectures at the institute in front of a theater filled with medical professionals.

But he also spends time in his laboratory mixing up Mr. Hyde in a beaker.

I have been both. Maybe you have too.

Maybe you have read about the clown threats. Because of them, a lot of children will be prohibited by their schools from clowning up on Halloween. And McDonald’s is keeping Ronald McDonald out of sight for a while. How about forever?

Am I a wet blanket? Absolutely. It simply doesn’t entertain me: scaring people,

order to fill the seat and show the community they were willing to compromise.

When asked if they were willing to support another candidate, Geddes said no, Reynolds said “not at this time” and Silverthorn declined to comment.

“I’m not here to always compromise and end up with something that doesn’t represent what my beliefs are,” said Geddes, who nominated Peck. “I agree with Mr. Peck.”

Benevento said he resigned because he had accomplished what he set out to do in his seven years on the board and didn’t believe there was much else that could be accomplished before the 2017 board election.

A special meeting has been scheduled for Nov. 1 to continue the discussion to find Benevento’s replacement, who would serve out the remainder of his term, which was set to expire in November 2017. If the board does not agree on a replacement by the end of the 60th day following the declaration of the vacancy — which would be Nov. 7 — Silverthorn, as president of the board, will appoint a person to fill the vacancy, as required by law.

“You know that you have the power as president to just let the clock run out and you will have the authority to pick your guy,” Vogel said. “You are showing an inability to listen and to show this community that we, once and for all, can actually come together and have an agreement.”

Silverthorn said she was simply advocating for her candidate and that supporting him did not mean she was not listening to the community.

“People are trying to paint me into a box that I’m not necessarily interested in climbing into,” Silverthorn said.

We need change at commissioner I was delighted to read many Douglas County churches will help house homeless and battered women. This need arose because the Douglas County commissioners refused federal community Development Block Grants that go primarily to social safety-net organization that provide these services. Their reason was that more stringent reporting of the funds’ usage was required.

Why was this requirement so onerous?

The Denver HUD regional office said no other recipient communities refused these grants. Reporting how such monies would be used is necessary and I hope that funds these commissioners spend also require stringent accounting.

This action shows how out of touch and cruel these commissioners are with the needs of many of our residents.

These same commissioners almost ruined Heritage Hills by wanting to change more zoning from commercial to residential.

Only a forceful show of resistance by our residents prevented this.

Please do not re-elect Roger Partridge or elect Lora Thomas. We need commissioners that will serve all of Douglas County.

or being scared.

Humans frighten me enough, just standing around in khakis.

I’d like to know, by percentage, who gets more involved with Halloween? Men or women? I am betting men. Many of us grow up to be 9-year-olds.

If special effects don’t interest me, you could assume that blockbusters like “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” don’t either. That is correct.

I like it right where I am, not on some other planet. And that includes Texas.

But seriously.

I lived in metro Detroit, where they thought it was cute to liven things up on October 30, calling it “Devil’s Night.” It featured some serious acts of vandalism and arson.

Sure, it’s been replaced by “Angels’ Night,” but I have no plans to see if it’s working out.

The truth is that most of us wear masks all the time, not just once a year. Or is that being too abstruse?

Oh. What is a vampire’s favorite fruit? A nectarine.

County buys land for wildlife migration Douglas County recently purchased Plateau Ranch, a 206-acre final link for a critical wildlife migration corridor between the Pike National Forest and the Highlands Ranch Backcountry Wilderness Area. Open space sales and use tax funds were used for the purchase, totaling $1,957,000.

The property, located in the Chatfield Basin, will connect 146,000 acres of protected land to the west and more than

22,000 acres of protected land to the east.

“Securing this wildlife movement corridor will allow for the unobstructed movement of wildlife from the alpine region of the national forest through to the prairie grassland south of the Denver metro area,” said Roger Partridge, Douglas County commissioner.

The Douglas County Open Space Program was created in 1994 with voter approval of a sixth-of-a-cent sales and use tax. The program seeks to preserve wildlife habitat and movement corridors, protect the county’s rural landscape and agricultural heritage, and safeguard scenic views, historic properties and archaeological resources.

‘We must be peace’

Attendees of the Centers for Spiritual Living’s International Peace Day celebration on Sept. 21 in Golden face each of the four cardinal directions as the celebration concludes with thanks. The centers are trans-denominational and exist in 30 countries. International Peace Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1981 to dedicate one day as a period of non-violence. Today, Peace Day celebrations take place all over the world. Photo by Christy Steadman

Local organizations take on global issue of achieving world peace

P

eace begins with each person.

That’s an important message, said Rev. Dr. David Goldberg at the Centers for Spiritual Living Headquarters in Golden.

“I truly believe we are the change we’re waiting for,” the Lakewood resident said.

“Regardless of our age or where we are in our lives, change starts with us. If we seek peace, we must be peace.”

Obtaining world peace can seem like a concept too large for one person to take on. But across the globe, organizations are serving as platforms, providing guidance and supporting efforts. Every day, more individuals and groups join the movement.

“Sometimes, it feels so big, but one simple act at a time can make a difference,” said Brandi Brown, deputy campaign manager for PeaceJam’s 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign. “Amazing things are happening in your community every day.”

PeaceJam is an international nonprofit organization headquartered in Arvada, with the primary mission to teach peace to youth through mentoring by Nobel Peace Prize laureates. The 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign challenges everybody around the world to reach 1 billion acts of peace by 2019. So far, just over 12 million acts have been recorded.

Almost anything can count as an act of peace, Brown said, from the smallest gesture of reading to the elderly to big efforts such as raising money to help young women in Africa receive an education.

And the campaign is not limited to youth — businesses, nonprofits, houses of worship, individuals, school groups and universities are participating.

“Getting people into the mind-frame of putting things into action inspires others to do the same,” Brown said. “Once you reach out and help other people, you see the impact, and it inspires you to do more.”

The Conflict Center believes everyone has a role to play as peacemakers in our homes, schools, congregations, workplaces and communities, said the nonprofit’s executive director Ron Ludwig.

There are local centers in Castle Rock, Parker, Littleton, Aurora, Lakewood, Evergreen and Denver.

To learn more about PeaceJam, visit www.peacejam.org. To get involved with the organization’s 1 Billion Acts of Peace campaign, visit www. billionacts.org.

The center, which is based in Denver, works to prevent violence by equipping youth and adults with solid skills to manage conflict, solve problems and strengthen relationships. The center offers classes for youth and adults available to the general public, and works in several schools each year to teach age-appropriate conflict management skills to students. It also sponsors special events to raise awareness in the community about the impact that various forms of violence can have on individuals, communities and the world.

“Conflict is a normal part of everyday life, but it doesn’t have to be negative or destructive,” Ludwig said. “It’s how we respond to it that produces positive or negative outcomes in our lives and in the lives of others.”

Accomplishing peace is not viewed as being easy or comfortable, said Liz Hamel, program director for Building

Bridges.

But accepting that tension is a positive way to create change, she added.

Building Bridges is a nonprofit organization with the mission “to equip young people with the communication and leadership skills necessary to address the root cause of hatred, discrimination and violent conflict.”

Peace begins with individuals, Hamel said, but it’s important to be able to come together, work deeply to understand another’s perspective and find the root causes of conflict and hatred.

“If we are going to create more understanding in the world,” she said, “it has to start with people to people.”

Bringing people to peace within their own consciousness is the idea behind the Centers for Spiritual Living’s Global Peace Initiative, says Rev. Mark Gilbert, the center’s global service manager.

“It’s a matter of shifting thoughts to

believe — and know — that we each, in our own minds, can bring peace to the planet,” Gilbert said. It starts with inner awareness, he added, and cascades to others from there.

The Global Peace Initiative can be thought of as a support mechanism and a “nudge to move people to action,” he said. The centers send out materials upon request and provide support to help people get started.

The centers consist of a trans-denominational group, Gilbert said, so the materials support everyone, no matter their spiritual belief.

The initiative encourages people to come together, either as an individual or a group, to pray or meditate on peace, Gilbert said. Then they’re encouraged to share with the centers what they developed, which provides more opportuniPeace continues on Page 13

October 28, 2016

Dylan’s Nobel win brings words back to spotlight Whenever people ask me the stereotypical question — The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? — my answer is simple: Bob Dylan.

Apparently the Nobel Prize committee is of the same opinion, since Dylan was just named as the 2016 recipient of the prize for literature.

Depending on one’s familiarity with the literary world, the last well-known winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature was Toni Morrison (the last American who won, it’s worth noting), who received the award in 1993. This makes Dylan not only the first musician to receive the Nobel in Literature, but also the most recognizable name to receive the award in more than 20 years.

The Nobel committee honored Dylan “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

But since the award was announced Oct. 13, musicians and critics in print and online have been arguing about the recognition.

Master lyricist Leonard Cohen said Dylan receiving the Nobel is “like pinning a medal on Mount Everest for being the highest mountain.” Matthew Schnipper, managing editor of Pitchfork music website, wrote an op-ed stating that everyone already knows Dylan is a genius, therefore the award was a missed opportunity to highlight authors that more people should know.

“But he is a musician, and his relationship with words is as a lyricist, someone whose prose exists inexorably with music. To read his lyrics flatly, without the sound delivering them, Clarke Reader is to experience his art reduced,” LINER Schnipper wrote.

“Literature is a less NOTES glamorous cousin of music. Both may provide portals to new worlds, but presuming they do so similarly because both use words shortchanges the specific merits of either form.”

Tom Waits, owner of one of rock’s other unique music voices, celebrated Dylan’s win. “Before epic tales and poems were ever written down, they migrated on the winds of the human voice,” Waits said in a statement, “and no voice is greater than Dylan’s.”

For Rob Sheffield, author and contributor to Rolling Stone magazine, the committee got the award right because of Dylan’s celebration of — and experimentations with — words.

“Of course it’s not poetry, not even sung poetry,” he wrote. “It’s songwrit-

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Nxworries’ “Yes Lawd!,” released on Stones Throw records.

Review: Anderson .Paak already released one of the year’s best records back in January, and now he’s closing out the year by releasing another of the year’s best. This time he’s working with producer Knxwledge for

ing, it’s storytelling, it’s electric noise, it’s a bard exploiting the new-media inventions of his time (amplifiers, microphones, recording studios, radio) for literary performance the way playwrights or screenwriters once did.”

As a passionate Dylanologist since senior year of high school, it’s not even a debate — Dylan deserves any and every award people want to give him. His lyrics are some of the best writing — regardless of form — in the English language, and his melding of folk, blues, rock and pop is one of the reasons modern music sounds like it does.

But what I like most about the award is the conversation its created, one I think Dylan himself would approve of — a conversation about the power of words.

Listening to Dylan’s lyrics makes it

an album of jazz and funk infused soul and hip-hop. Knxwledge’s production is a nod to J Dilla at his peak, and .Paak skates over the music with his agile and pliable voice.

Favorite song: “Get Bigger/Do U Luv” Contender for prettiest song of the year: “Livvin”

evident he’s an avid reader. And intelligent people talking about authors and musicians in the same breath certainly seems like a positive outcome.

Dylan once said, “All I can do is be me, whoever that is.”

He has been a troubadour, rock star, actor and activist, among countless other things. But he has always been a writer. So talking about what words can achieve seems like the most fitting tribute of all.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he thinks Dylan deserves the Nobel for “Blood on the Tracks” alone. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com. And share if you think Dylan deserves the Nobel at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

ties to see what everybody else in the world is doing.

Similar activities are ongoing around the world, Gilbert said.

“They recognize the power of coming together at a common time for a certain intention,” he said. One example is the United Nations’ International Day of Peace.

The UN General Assembly established International Day of Peace in 1981 when it designated Sept. 21 as a period of nonviolence and cease-fire. Today, Peace Day is celebrated around the world in various ways — its original intent, and as a day of commemoration with education and public awareness activities on issues related to peace.

“Day of Peace is really important,” said Olivia Gilchrist, 12, a student at Evergreen Montessori School. She was one of about 20 students attending the Peace Day celebration at the Centers for Spiritual Living. “We have to remember, (and) one good way to remember is to have one day dedicated to it.”

Gilbert believes peace exists in everyone’s hearts.

“We want a world where everyone has their needs met and can thrive,” Gilbert said. “And people thrive on a planet that is at peace.”

The Sons of the Pioneers are synonymous with cowboy music and Western legend. Precursors of the present group, including cowboy star Roy Rogers, started performing in their trademark blend of voices and musical instruments in 1934, bringing images of tumbleweeds, horses, cattle, cool water and tall timber to America and, later, to the world. Today’s group will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 at Lone Tree Arts Center.

There have been only 33 men in the group during its 80-year history, each carefully chosen to sing and play in the style of the originals. In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, the group appeared in almost 100 Western films — as well as at Carnegie Hall — and on the home radios of thousands of listeners. They have recorded numerous albums with Decca, Columbia, RCA and others and are still performing to sold-out crowds across the nation.

High tenor Ken Lattimore holds a degree in music, plays fiddle and mandolin and has been a member more than 15 years. Randy Rudd is often lead vocalist, plays guitar and is given to witty chatter. Mark Abbott delivers low vocal harmonies, plays bass fiddle and adds comedy. Justin Branum, from Nashville, is a champion fiddler, who started playing at 12.

Two plays, two locations, maybe a little too lengthy

‘Marie Antoinette,’ ‘Dracula’ are on stage in area theaters

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Two area theaters have opened productions with above-average staging, lighting and costuming: “Marie Antoinette” at the Edge Theater in Lakewood and “Dracula” at the Aurora Fox Arts Center. Both are worth a visit, but tend to run out of steam before the journey is completed.

In Aurora, strong singer Leonard Barrett plays Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire, who first appeared in 1897. Count Dracula, in this version, was conceived

by Don Black and Christopher Hampton, with music by Frank Wildhorn. With his trio of female vampires, he manages to loom out of the fog effectively. Director El Armstrong has the trio overacting somewhat as they slink around being sexy.

Victorian repressed sexuality is certainly almost ever-present.

Michael Duran’s set is effective, with Shannon McKinney’s lighting, although it requires a lot of moving large set pieces around.

Mina (Jenna Bainbridge) and Jonathan Harker (Thadd Krueger), her fiancé, who goes to Transylvania to deliver a lease for a piece of London real estate to Count Dracula, both have fine voices, which blend well in an occasional duet.

Welcome to a foggy Victorian London.

Other characters, who play out this story with a different ending, include McKayla Marso as Lucy, James Francis as her physician/admirer Jack, the capable Gregg Price as Dr. Van Helsing, who leads the fight against Dracula’s powers, and Gustavo Marquez as poor mad Renfield.

On the other side of the metro area, “Marie Antoinette” by David Adjmi, playing through Nov. 13 at Lakewood’s Edge

S

S S

Wonderfully costumed Rachel Bouchard (Yolande De Polignac), Missy Moore (Marie Antoinette) and Samara Bridwell (Therese de Lamballe) enjoy a spot of tea in the early minutes of “Marie Antoinette” at the Edge Theater. Photos by Rachel Graham, RDG photography Theater, gives an especially imaginative spin to the elaborate costumes and wigs the queen and her ladies-in-waiting wore at Versailles in the 18th century. Missy Moore is strong as Marie, an Austrian princess, who was sent at age 14 to be the bride of a young, pathetic, Louis XVI, played by Christian Mast. Neither of the pair has a clue about what’s going on in the world, as she plans faux-naturalistic settings, mini-farms and such, as well as extravagant fashions to wear. He is fascinated with clocks and the entire set suggests the inside of a huge clock.

The opening is stunning as Marie and her ladies strut out a runway, as in a fashion show, and pose for the cameras.

Director Robert Kramer’s staging features three beautiful women in costumes by Annie Kaup (a Colorado debut) and as-

sistants Alison Alter, Jamie McNear and Cullen Madrid. Moore is joined by Rachel Bouchard as Yolande de Polignac and Samara Bridwell as Therese de Lamballe, also in exceptional “period” costumes.

Talk about bling! Jewelry flashes and sparkles and the suggestion of silk court dresses with hoop skirts is there, despite a leggy look with lacy tights. High turbans suggest the powdered wigs of earlier days.

Kramer’s director’s notes bring the scene to the here and now: “… it is clear that Marie’s life serves as a vision of the 21st century, 230 years ahead of our time.

Everything she did, everything she wore, every hobby she pursued, every love she felt was quickly disseminated (and frequently wildly distorted) for public consumption. Every reality show that spreads like a horrible virus across the television landscape can be traced to the elements of Marie’s life that were held up for public scrutiny in France in the 18th century.”

Bits of that gossip appear in the script, especially as things go downhill for the Queen of France. The latter part of the play has her in prison — readers are familiar with her sad tale. Here, the sound

IF YOU GO “Dracula” plays through Nov. 6 at the Aurora Fox Arts Center, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora.

Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: aurorafox.org, 303-739-1970.

“Marie Antoinette” plays through Nov. 13 at the Edge Theater, 1560 Teller St., Lakewood.

needs some work — and probably the script. Talk goes on and on and is difficult to hear. And since she’s stripped of her finery, there’s no more eye candy!

There is still another vision of Marie’s imaginary sheep, played with a twinkle in the eye by a shaggy Ryan Goold.

This is a regional premiere for Adjmi’s take on an often-told story, and theater buffs will want to see this carefully staged interpretation.

Horror film makes debut in Castle Rock Movie shot at local body shop reaches public via special screenings

LAST WEEK’S WINNER Amy B. Thank you to all the readers and advertisers that helped support our pink ribbon promotion.

By Jessica Gibbs jgibbs@coloradocommunitymedia.com A film shot in Castle Rock last year is complete.

“Auto Shop of Horrors” has been made available to the public through screenings in Wyoming, Denver and as of Oct. 21, Castle Rock.

The storyline follows a serial-killer mechanic who believes eating enough human eyeballs will enable him to see the future. And, the gory deaths of his customers live up to the horrorfilm genre.

An audience that attended the Oct. 21 screening held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds cringed for the victims and laughed during the movie’s moments of comedic relief.

All the crew and actors are from Colorado and one of the main characters, Paul Neal Rohrer, has lived in Castle Rock since 1987.

The acting coach and actor said it was an easy and fun project to shoot. He plays the detective who investigates the missing-person cases in town.

“I’m always looking for fun and interesting characters,” Rohrer said. “This was one.”

John Manka owns the body shop where the movie was filmed, 1 STOP Tire and Auto, and helped produce it. For him, seeing how a movie is made was the best part of being

A sizable crowd gathered on Oct. 21 for the screening of “Auto Shop of Horrors,” a film shot in Castle Rock last year. Here, John Manka helps introduce the film. Manka owns the auto shop where the movie was filmed. Photo by Jessica Gibbs involved. He said people don’t always appreciate the amount of time and effort that brings these productions together.

“This has been a fun thing,” he said.

It was also Manka’s first acting gig since high school, he joked, having two lines in the film.

Auto Shop of Horror’s theme song was arranged and performed by local alternative rock band Over the Castle. The group includes four Douglas County High School juniors: Lina Corrales, Loren Hardy, Jenna Hardy and

S

Sabrina Meiklejohn.

The girls also make a cameo as some of the film’s victims.

Tim Gallagher, director of photography for the movie, said they are looking for a distributor. They might eventually pursue offering it on platforms such as iTunes or Hulu. As of now, the special screenings were the only way to see it, he said.

The restructuring is part of a strategy by the parent company, Bowlmor AMF, owner of the Brunswick and Bowlero brands. The Lone Tree location at 9255 Kimmer Drive is Colorado’s first Bowlero, already successful in Texas and California.

The multimillion-dollar renovation contains technology upgrades such as kiosks at each of the 48 lanes for bowlers to order food and drinks and lane-length video screens that will play old movies and music videos. A new sound system will be in use throughout the week, but will be especially useful on Friday and Saturday evenings as live DJs will be on

Jeff Holwell, economic development director for the City of Lone Tree, said the improvements exemplify Bowlero’s commitment to rejuvenating the entertainment district, an area of the city near Yosemite Street and Park Meadows Drive that features many restaurants and a movie theater.

“The fact that they’re reinvesting in the space and recommitting themselves to being an anchor in the entertainment district is really great,” Holwell said. “We expect it will bring in people from around the the region and bring new life to the district.”

The air in the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church sanctuary crackled with the electric energy during the Oct. 18 performance by the African Children’s Choir.

The 18 brightly clad children jumped, danced and whirled constantly as they sang the songs in their own distinctive style during the 90-minute performance in Centennial.

“I came with my mom tonight to hear children present the music of another culture,” Grace Bugan, 13, said as she was finding a seat for the concert. “I really don’t know what to expect but I am sure there will be some drumming.”

The choir opened the performance with a fast-tempo song called “Rejoice” that included very energetic dancing.

Most of the songs were uptempo and accompanied by pounding drums. On some numbers, the audience followed the urging of the choir to clap along with them.

Some of the songs were about their country and cultural aspects like catching fish while avoiding crocodiles or planting a crop. But they also did some traditional hymns like “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands” and “Amazing Grace.” They sang the first verse in the traditional tempo but then switched to their own very original, upbeat arrangement while doing an intricate dance routine.

The 18 children are all from Uganda.

“The children tour for about 10 months,” Heidi Morn, tour leader, said. “They have done about 100 concerts and still have about 30 more on the schedule before they head home.”

She arranged for an interview with choir member Michelle and explained it is their policy not to release the last names of the children.

“I love being part of the choir,” the 8-year-old said. “I love it because we get to bless people by singing to them about God. That is special because we want people to know God so they will go to heaven.”

The energetic performances are physically demanding and Michelle said she sometimes is a little tired after the performance.

“Yes, I get tired sometimes,” she said. “But that is allright because being on stage with the choir is so much fun.”

Centennial resident Emiliana Whipp said she really enjoyed the concert.

“The children are talented singers and dancers,” the 11-year-old said. “I loved watching them because they were

African Children’s Choir member, Michelle, smiles as she talks about the performances. She said she loves singing about God to the people and while she gets a little tired sometimes, she loves to perform because it is so much fun.

so enthusiastic and full of energy. I loved the music and it was a really fun concert.”

The African Children’s Choir was created 30 years ago by Ray Barnett. He was inspired when, on a humanitarian trip to Uganda, he gave a young boy a ride and the boy started doing what he did best, sing.

The program stated that no one was interested in Uganda when Barnett returned to Canada, but he knew if people were to see a group of those beautiful children, they would be deeply moved and want to help them.

He rallied support and coordinated the first tour of the choir. The choir’s tour was a success and the donations they received enabled the construction of a children’s home in Uganda to provide a stable environment and quality education for choir members and other children who needed care.

The continued choir success resulted in construction of six more homes for children, many of whom had been orphaned during wars and fighting. Music for Love, the parent organization of the African Children’s Choir, reaches out to children and orphans in seven African countries.

The children who performed in Centennial are African Children’s Choir 45, while children are being taught the program to fill the ranks of Choir 46, which will begin touring early next year.

This year’s nationwide creepy clown craze has become a nightmare before Halloween for actual, working clowns, who say their bookings at parties and other events have dropped sharply, even after many of the social media-fueled scary clown sightings have turned out to be hoaxes.

Some fear that going out with their greasepaint makeup and red noses will make them a target of police or even marauding mobs who take to the streets on so-called clown hunts.

“It’s definitely a scary feeling leaving your house, and you fear you are going to get jumped because you’re dressed as a clown,’’ says Cyrus Zavieh, a New York City hospital administrator who also performs professionally as Cido the Clown.

“You’re there to make them happy, to make them have fun, and now they are saying, ‘Aaaagghh!’”

Zavieh says. “All of a sudden, these stories are putting fear into kids. ...

Before, they’d just look the other way, but now it’s like, ‘You’re a scary clown and I hate you.’’’

The World Clown Association — comprising more than 2,000 members in 30 countries — has been flooded with calls from scared performers. It’s been sending out safety tips, suggesting clowns consider changing into their costumes when they arrive at a party or go with a handler.

Association president Randy Christensen says clowns are also increasingly getting requests for “modified performances” in which they entertain without makeup and traditional clown attire.

Recently, retail giant Target took the step of pulling scary clown masks from its shelves. And McDonald’s says its signature clown character, Ronald McDonald, will be keeping a lower profile.

The fallout follows a phenomenon in the U.S. involving dozens of stories, many fabricated, about clowns stalking or attacking people.

In multiple states, people have called police to report being menaced by people in clown costumes.

In Kentucky, a man dressed as a clown was arrested after lurking in the woods. Children in Ohio and Texas have been charged with making clown-related threats to school classmates. A New York City teen told police a clown threatened him with a knife in the subway.

“They aren’t clowns. They are clown impersonators,” said Wendy Pincus, who has performed in New York City for the last 20 years. “We’re here to make people happy. We don’t threaten people. We bring joy.”

Pincus, whose clown alter ego is “Crazy Daisy,” says she’s seen a 30 to 40 percent decrease in just the past few weeks.

Clown sightings, hoaxes and pranks — especially around Halloween — aren’t new. In fact, they’ve become a recurring staple of crime blotters since serial killer and working clown John Wayne Gacy was convicted in 1980 of killing 33 people.

In 2012, James Holmes dyed his hair red as Batman’s Joker when he opened fire at a Colorado movie theater, killing 12 people.

Those high-profile cases notwithstanding, experts say it’s relatively common for people to feel creeped out by clowns.

“It primarily has to do with the exaggerated makeup and features.

We recognize it, but there is something abnormal,’’ says Dr. Kristie Golden, associate director of operations for psychiatry and neurosciences at Stony Brook University

To some, nothing is scarier than a clown. Shutterstock photo Hospital in New York. “We can be drawn in by that or we can be repelled.’’

World Clown Association’s Christensen says this year’s clown scares seem to be reaching new heights, and he suggests working clowns repel them the same way they always have, by spreading a message of happiness and boundless.

“Go out and clown and show people what this is,’’ he says. “Show them what good entertainment is — show them what a caring clown does.’’

Clowns can be serious business Staff report

Reports of clown misdeeds across the nation haven’t hurt sales of clown costumes at a popular shop in the metro area.

“We’re selling even more of them now,” said Greg Reinke, owner of Reinke Bros. costume shop in downtown Littleton. “People want to be creepy, they want to be scary.”

Reinke said the publicity that clowns — real or imagined — have garnered in recent months is only generating more business for shops like his and for haunted houses, many of which feature deranged clowns.

During a typical Halloween season, Reinke has

Breast cancer affects us all, and early detection can save lives. There is no cure for breast cancer, but mammograms can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. Every woman, beginning at age 40, should schedule a mammogram and a physical every year. Women should also perform a thorough breast self-exam once a month. Help spread awareness in your community by educating your neighbors and friends on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and encourage the women you know to schedule a mammogram today.

both the costume shop and a well-attended haunted house open at 5663 S. Prince St. But the haunted house portion is closed this fall, as it was last year, for major renovations.

When his haunted house was last open in 2014, it featured several theme rooms full of frightening creatures. For example, there was a snake room. And a clown room.

Reinke plans to have the haunted house ready next fall — and he’ll send in the clowns.

“Clowns have always been scary,” he said. “They always will be scary.”

Legend’s run ends at state South metro area teams eliminated in state softball tournament

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon and Douglas County advanced to the second round of the Class 5A state softball tournament on Oct. 21 at Aurora Sports Park but lost to the two teams that played for the state championship.

Legend and Cherry Creek were ousted in their opening games.

Rock Canyon opened with a 3-2 win over Grand Junction and had eventual state champion Cherokee Trail on the ropes in the quarterfinals.

The Jaguars, which ended the season with a 13-10 record, grabbed a 4-0 lead

Heading into the bottom of the seventh, Rock Canyon was nursing a 4-3 lead but a grand slam home by Chloe Knapp sent Cherokee Trail into the semifinals with a 7-4 victory.

“It was a great season with a great group of girls,” Rock Canyon head coach Debbie Kortbawi said. “The leadership of the four seniors we had was amazing. They were here three years ago and wanted to get back and they did.”

Sophomore pitcher Savanna Reiners hurled a two-hit shutout for Continental League champion Douglas County in a 10-0 first round win over Mountain Range.

The Huskies face top-seeded Broomfield and trailed 5-4 in the sixth inning but made three errors as the state

runner-up Eagles tallied seven runs to eliminate Douglas County with a 12-4 victory.

Douglas County wrapped up the season with an 18-6 record.

“They were a tough bunch of kids,” Douglas County coach Brian Stebbins said. “We went down 5-0 to the No. 1 team in the state and they were the best team we’ve seen. These girls did not fold up. They rallied and fought back hard.

They had a little more in the tank than we did.

“We won our first league championship since 2003, made it to the final eight, so it was a great year.”

I find science very interesting.

Science can explain just about any questions you may have about the world.

Do you play video games, and if so, which one(s)?

Yes, I enjoy “Far Cry” because you can do the campaign while doing many side missions and hunting mammoths and sabertooth tigers.

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? If so, what are they?

Denver Broncos running back Kapri Bibbs had the full attention of Castle View football players before a practice session on Oct. 18.

The former Colorado State University standout talked to the players for 30 Jim Benton minutes as part of the Game of the OVERTIME Broncos’ Week promotion.

And, as coach Dustin Pfeiffer related, his players were intent while listing to Bibbs.

“He addressed the team about the importance (of fighting) for everything that you aspire to be,” Pfeiffer said. “He gave his story of how he got to the place he is at currently and his future.

“He spoke about the importance of education and doing well in school. He also gave the kids a reference of what it means to be a good teammate and how important it is to care about one another.”

Action in one place Watching the girls state high school softball tournament brought a “remember-when moment.”

The softball tournament was held Oct. 21 and 22 at Aurora Sports Park. There were only three classifications and it was an easy walk between the complexes.

So a person could watch a 3A game, stroll to the adjacent complex and catch part of a 5A game or amble to take in a 4A contest. And, all the championship games on Oct. 22 were at the same complex.

It reminded me when there were still only three classes and not five and all the games in the boys state basketball tournament were held at the Auditorium Arena in downtown Denver.

Some of those Class A Merino teams were fun to watch, along with the bigger schools like Denver Christian, Glenwood Springs, Highland and the big boys like Wheat Ridge, Manual and Boulder, to name just a few.

‘Stringy’ in hall-of-fame class Maurice “Stringy” Ervin, who coached Littleton’s boys and girls swimming teams for 46 seasons, will be inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame at the 53rd annual banquet April 27, 2017 at Denver City Marriott Center.

Ervin, a Littleton native who was a three-sport standout for the Lions, coached a combined 12 boys and girls state championship teams and the Lions were runners-up six times under Ervin’s tutelage.

He coached 40 individual state champions and 21 state championship relay teams.

Ervin will be inducted in a class that includes ex-defensive back Champ Bailey of the Denver Broncos, former Colorado Rockies slugger Dante Bichette, world class mogul skier and Colorado football athlete Jeremy Bloom, CU All-American lineman and nine-season National Football League player John Wooten and squash player Hashim Khan.

Douglas County influence in win Cherokee Trail won the Class 5A state softball championship with a 1-0 victory over Broomfield on Oct. 22 at Aurora Sports Park and there was a Douglas County flavor to the Cougars’ title.

Cougars’ head coach Caley Mitchell is the former Castle View coach and her assistant was her dad, Toby Tabola, who was the longtime softball coach at Ponderosa.

Ponderosa pulls out overtime win against Castle View Mustangs notch 2-1 victory in regular-season finale

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ponderosa heads into the Class 4A state soccer playoffs with momentum.

The Mustangs denied Castle View a chance to win the Continental League championship with a 2-1 overtime victory in the regularseason finale on Oct. 20 at Douglas County Stadium.

Castle View ended the league season with a 6-2-2 league record, which dropped the Sabercats to fourth in the final league standings behind Rock Canyon and Mountain Vista, which finished with 7-2-1 league marks, and Class 4A Ponderosa with a 7-3-0 mark.

“It was a huge game,” said Ponderosa coach Jim Engels. “We had a chance for the league championship.”

Key moments Ponderosa senior Parker Klein, the league’s leading scorer, tallied the game-winner just 2:07 into overtime to give the Mustangs the win and

deny a possible league crown for the Sabercats.

“I was thinking score the gamewinner in overtime,” Klein said. “I shot it and it went into the back of the net.”

Key players/statistics Cory Gunsauls, off an assist from Klein, gave Ponderosa a 1-0 lead.

Castle View, which dominated the corner kicks, tied the game in the 63rd minute on a header by Evan Stockmoe from in front of the net.

Klein took a pass from Joseph Maxie to score the game winner in overtime.

They said it Klein is looking forward to the Class 4A playoffs.

“The guys are starting to click and it’s going well,” he said.

Going forward The Class 4A state playoffs started Oct. 26 with the first round of the 5A playoffs set to begin Oct. 27. The round of 16 will be played Nov. 1 for 4A teams and Nov. 2 for 5A. Castle View finished 17th in the RPI standings, while Ponderosa was 22nd among 4A teams.

Association, along with USA Field Hockey, will hold a players clinic on Oct. 27 between 4 and 4:45 p.m. at the Denver Public School’s All-City Stadium in conjunction of the state field hockey championship game.

Among those expected to be at the clinic, which is for seventh- to 12th-grad-

ers, are three-time U.S. Olympian Rachel Dawson and two-time U.S. Olympic player Melissa Gonzalez.

Cost for the clinic is $20 for USA Field Hockey members and $25 for non-members. A T-shirt and admission to the title game is included.

snapped a 3-3 tie.

Seniors Karlee Arnold and Lexi Hager each had two hits for Legend. Jesse Smith, another senior, belted a two-run homer.

“We left 10 runners on and we just couldn’t get that timely hit,” Titans coach Kristen Shirk said. “It was defi-

nitely not how we wanted to finish but the softball gods didn’t rule our way against Fort Collins.”

Cherry Creek, the tournament’s 16th seed, was whipped 16-1 by Broomfield in the first game but coach Allison McKean feels this year’s team that finished with an 11-12 record might have sparked something.

“We hadn’t been to state since 2009,” she said. “Creek is back. Creek has not been known for having a good softball program. We have to keep it going. This was a young team.”

Lively days in Denver light up new book ‘Rich People Behaving Badly’ written by former Post editor

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “The foibles of people, rich or poor, remain the same: Only fashions change,” Dick Kreck wrote in his introductory note after comparing his stories to today’s reality and gossip shows on TV. The introduction is to his latest book, “Rich People Behaving Badly.”

His gossipy tales — 15 stories with historic photos — are culled from early newspaper stories and public records (he had a 38-year career as editor and columnist for the Denver Post). He is very familiar with the extensive resources of the Western History Department at Denver Public Library and regional libraries and museums.

Readers may be familiar with his previous books, entertaining looks at area history, including: “Murder at the Brown Palace: A True Story of Seduction and Betrayal” (involves the owner of the Highlands Ranch Mansion); “Hell on Wheels: Wicked Towns Along the Union Pacific Railroad”; and “Smaldone: The Untold Story of an American Crime Family.”

There are chapters about William Newton Byers, owner/publisher of the Rocky Mountain News (“The Great Scandal”) and about Frederick Bonfils, who bought the Denver Post with Harry Tammen in 1895 for $12,500 and pursued what Kreck calls “fire-wagon journalism.”

Both became involved with other women, politics and a quest for personal power …

The tale of Isabel Springer, whose wealthy husband owned the Highlands Ranch Mansion, is condensed into a chapter here, but those who want to know more can find Kreck’s “Murder at the Brown Palace,” which really gives a picture of journalism at the time — competition was for the wildest storyline. Isabel, living in a Brown Palace apartment (she didn’t like being in the country), was entertaining two lovers, also staying at the famous hotel, who found out about each other! Shooting followed.

“The Prince and the Socialite” tells of society woman Jane Tomberlain, who met dashing Hawaiian Prince Samuel Crowningburg-Amalu, the chief Kapiikauinamoku, Prince of Keawe, on an elevator at the Brown Palace, where she lived. He missed their wedding and managed to build up a string of debts and bad checks across the world …

Pastor Charles E. Blair, who built a large and gullible congregation at Calvary Temple in Denver in the 1960s, might “have paid more attention to the Good Book and less attention to cooking the books,” the author wrote. Blair built a striking new church and relieved many elderly parishioners of large sums of money for a Life Center, senior housing.

Published by Fulcrum Press in Golden, this new collection of stories is available in a trade paperback edition.

“And so it goes. They made us look,” Kreck writes.

You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
