MY NAME IS

ELIZABETH BJERGA

Honestly, my career goals are a backup — my real hope is to be a wife and a mom someday.

Avid book reader, photographer, outgoing and quiet

Bouncing around the country I’ve moved around quite a bit with my family. My dad is a pastor, so we lived east of the Mississippi a lot. I was born in Nebraska, then we moved to the Thornton area. After that we moved to Ohio, then back here to Elizabeth. After eight months in Elizabeth, we moved to Ohio again, then we went to Maryland for five years. About four years ago, we came back here to stay with my grandfather after my grandmother died.

I live in Elizabeth but I work in the day care at Crossroads Community Church. My dad works at Legend High School, and I hang out in Parker a lot, so I’m always here. I took a semester off of college so I can go back to school and get a degree or certification in paralegal studies and, ultimately, I want to get my bachelor’s in business administration. I love the law, so anything I could do to help bring justice where it is needed would be my goal.

Reading and shooting I love reading suspenseful books and books about conspiracy theories. I love the thrill of figuring out who did it as I read, or if my guess about who the killer is turns out to be right. I love being so involved in a book that I forget about everything that’s going on in real life.

I also love photography. For me, it’s all about taking things that everyone sees all the time and capturing things that nobody else sees in them. Just finding anything that people glaze over, like the vein in a leaf. If I can find something so small that points all the way back to God, it puts me on a high for the rest of the week.

What you see ...

As much as I am outgoing around people, I really do like to keep to myself most of the time. I can be loud, but I really like to be quiet more of the time.

I don’t have a lot of dark secrets, pretty much what you see is what you get.

Court hears arguments in school district case involving religion

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A lawyer for the American Humanist Association argued in a courtroom Nov. 16 that the Douglas County School Disrict has a track record of promoting Christian causes, violating the Constitution.

A school district lawyer countered that no students were forced to participate in the events that led to the AHA’s lawsuit two years ago, and that the programs were secular in nature.

The lawyers presented oral arguments before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in a case revolving around the promotion at two schools of a Fellowship of Christian Athletes mission trip and supply drive to aid people in Guatemala.

The incident took place in 2014 at Highlands Ranch High School and

Cougar Run Elementary, where a supply drive was held. In addition, a flier and email promoting the effort were sent to students and families at a number of schools in the district.

The plaintiffs in the case are identified in court documents as John Doe, Jack and Jill Roe — who have two children attending school in the district — and Jane Zoe, on behalf of her son, who was a student at Cougar Run in Highlands Ranch at the time.

Zoe argued that her son was taunted for not believing in God after he declined to participate in the program, which the AHA said took place during school hours. The plaintiffs’ real names were not available.

The lawsuit names as defendants the school district, the board of education, former Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen, Cougar Run Elementary Principal John Gutierrez and former

HRHS Principal Jerry Goings. Fagen and Goings no longer work for the district.

The American Humanist Association — a group that says it works to ensure the separation of church and state — filed a lawsuit against the Douglas County School District on Oct. 22, 2014.

The AHA said the district’s program was in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of and from religion.

David Niose represented the American Humanist Association and Eric V. Hall represented the school district.

The district argued “a secular supply drive took place for secular reasons and that no religious content took place at the school.”

Hall also said students were not forced to participate and that Zoe’s

son was able to opt out.

“Receiving the flier and email had no coercive effect,” Hall said.

Niose argued that the school district was promoting a mission that had a goal of converting people to Christianity. He also said the affiliation and joint promotion with FCA made it obviously not secular.

Niose said the Douglas County School District has repeatedly promoted evangelical Christian programs, such as Operation Christmas Child — a holiday toy drive sponsored by a Christian group Samaritan’s Purse — despite warnings.

“This is a school district that has an extensive record of promoting a Christian mission,” Noise said.

It was not known when the judges from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals would issue an opinion on the case.

School district rolls out three eco-friendly buses New vehicles use compressed natural gas, ‘the cleanest-burning fossil fuel’

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bright sunshine and a clear blue sky were an appropriate backdrop for the Douglas County School District’s presentation of three environmentallyfriendly buses as part of a sustainability plan to make a brighter, cleaner future for its students.

Douglas County High School students joined representatives from the district, Noble Energy, Black Hills Energy and the Regional Air Quality Council outside the school on Nov. 16 to bring “on board” three new buses, powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).

“This is our planet and our community, and it’s our job to take care of it,” said Layla Baden, a ninth-grader taking an environmental science class at the school.

Ken Lloyd, executive director for the Regional Air Quality Council, said CNG buses are a healthier alternative for members of the community than diesel-burning counterparts.

“These are the buses that are going through our neighborhoods, these are the buses that are idling at our schools,” Lloyd said, adding that “children are the most vulnerable” people to suffer the effects of air pollution.

“Compressed natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel,” said Courtney Kuntz, sustainability director for the district. “It’ll improve air quality for students, drivers and

people in the area.”

In addition to cleaner air and financial savings for the school district, Kuntz said in her address that learning about the environment benefits students in the classroom, leading to better attendance, improved academic performance and a sense of empowerment.

Kuntz went on to say that to say that seeing the buses on the road every day will provide “real-world learning” for the students and visible evidence of the district’s efforts to protect the environment.

“We’re creating an innovative environment and getting students to think outside of the box in response to pressing environmental issues,” Kuntz said.

Noble Energy Development Manager Curtis Rueter added that the buses will improve the district’s bottom line.

He said the new buses will save up to $4,000 per bus in annual fuel costs, a potential $60,000 savings for each bus over their expected 15-year use.

After receiving more than $250,000 in grants from Noble Energy and the Regional Air Quality Council, the new buses cost the district $200,706, a 16-percent decrease from the cost of comparable, used diesel buses.

Douglas County schools serve more than 70,000 students, and a shortage of buses and drivers has forced the district to change schedules and routes to mitigate the issue.

Donna Grattino, the districts’ director of transportation, pointed out that the shortage isn’t unique to Douglas County. She added that although three buses aren’t enough to solve the problem, every bit helps.

“Our goal is to have more in the fleet,” Grattino said. “Everybody worked so hard to make this happen, now we know how to do it.”

Legacy lives on in Nancy’s Market and Garden Parker community honors Nancy Gripman for her dedication to community

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nancy Gripman wasn’t very tall, but she left a big mark on the town of Parker.

After moving to Parker in 1981, Gripman immersed herself in efforts to make the town a better place for families less fortunate than her own. After more than 30 years of charitable work through the Parker Task Force food bank and a community garden, Gripman died in December 2015 at age 86.

But on Nov. 12, family members, city officials and members of the Parker Task Force and the Rotary Club of Parker made sure her legacy will be apparent to future generations, just as her life’s work helped so many in years past.

Gripman was honored first at O’Brien Park, as nearly a hundred people attended the dedication of a statue in her likeness. Gripman developed her green thumb and learned about xeriscaping through the Douglas County master gardener program, and the bronze sculpture depicts Gripman looking up from her gardening work to say hello.

Titled “Nancy’s Garden,” the bronze piece was created by Parker sculptor Don Budy.

“Parker was Nancy’s garden.

Colorado was Nancy’s garden,” Budy said. “My hope is that as you walk by the sculpture you’ll stop and say ‘Hi, Nancy.’ ” Two hours later at the Parker Task Force building at 19105 Long’s Way, a sign was dedicated in the building’s free grocery store, known henceforth as Nancy’s Market. The more intimate ceremony celebrated the dedication and a $150,000 contribution to the food bank from Gripman’s family.

The task force, now in its 29th year, began in Gripman’s barn on Inspiration Drive. She had big hopes for a charitable, volunteerrun food bank that would provide assistance and resources for families in need. But she originally kept her goals and plans to herself.

“I woke up one morning and looked out the window and my barn was full of people,” said Bill Gripman, Nancy’s husband, describing how he first found out about the food bank.

Parker Task Force President Steve Budnack commented on Gripman’s dedication to service and the impact the group continues to have on more than 400 families in Parker as he and Bill dedicated the sign and a commemorative plaque.

“Here we are almost 30 years later,” Budnack said, “because some of the programs she put in place, they worked.”

Pastor Randy Jessen of Parker United Methodist Church blesses a statue of Nancy Gripman at a dedication ceremony at O’Brien Park on Nov. 12. Gripman founded the Parker Task Force almost 30 years ago and was an avid gardener.

South Metro Fire Rescue Station 44 PHOTOS AND TEXT BY TOM SKELLEY | TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

t’s 8 a.m. on Nov. 7, a quiet morning inside South Metro Fire Rescue Station 44 at 12625 E. Lincoln Ave. Patrick Grout and Taylor Olson watch an online training seminar.

Olson, a three-year veteran, sits in a recliner while Grout, the station’s oneyear rookie, sits in an office chair. Rookies aren’t allowed to sit in recliners.

Lt. Sheryl West and Binford work out downstairs as engineer Matt Morley makes a protein shake in the kitchen.

The crew work 48-hour shifts together at the station house, eating, sleeping and waiting for the call.

“I’ve spent about a third of my life here,” firefighter Chris Binford says.

“You become very close to the people

you work with — they’re like a second family.”

The crew spends the day testing equipment, preparing meals, trading stories and waiting for the alarm. A handful of calls come in throughout the day, interrupting meals and conversations. Each time, the team is on the road in under a minute.

Complaints of chest pains, a tractortrailer rollover, a traffic accident all turn out to be nothing special, and they return to the station after other responders radio that the calls aren’t serious. But they treat each alarm as the real thing, never letting down their guard.

SEE DAY, P7

11:32 a.m.

Matt Morley sits in the driver’s seat and waits for Binford and West to return to the truck as they respond to a possible cardiac arrest call at The Center at Lincoln. The team will go to the hospital to pick up Grout, before heading to a store to buy lunch.

11:09 a.m.

Station 44 responders roll out the gurney as they arrive at The Center at Lincoln and prepare to take a resident with possible cardiac problems to the hospital.

Pictured from left to right are Matt Morley (standing on the ground) Patrick Grout, Lisa Dighton, Sheryl West, Taylor Olson and Chris Binford.

11:59 a.m.

Morley and Binford pick up some meat at a local grocery store on their way from a call to the station. Everyone at the station makes their own lunch, but dinner is a family-style meal prepared by team members in a rotating schedule.

DAY: There’s something to learn in every call FROM PAGE 6

1:32 p.m.

Grout tests a hose and sprayer outside of Station 44 at Peoria Street and Lincoln Avenue. The pump truck uses two solutions, one water-based for conventional fires and another foamy mixtures for fuel-based fires.

Even if they don’t fight a fire, Grout says there’s always something to be learned and improved upon in every call.

“Now, if you get three of them after midnight, that can be a bit tedious,” he says, smiling.

Two more learning experiences are called in that afternoon, and the crew responds just as quickly and keenly.

With 40 hours left in their shift, they know that anything can happen.

1:39 p.m.

Grout rolls up a sprayer hose after testing a pump truck’s equipment on Nov. 7. Station 44 teams perform at least one maintenance chore per day. On Mondays, they test the sprayers, solutions, saws, extractors, ladders and other equipment on the truck.

3:02 p.m.

Patrick Grout, left, and Chris Binford ride to a call in Castle Pines. The call turns out to be a false alarm. The caller spotted thick smoke coming from a neighbor’s chimney but no one in the house would answer the door. The first team on site found called the responders off.

2:49 p.m.

Patrick Grout suits up in seconds to respond to a call of a possible structure fire in the Castle Rock area. SMFR responders are expected to make it out of the station within 90 seconds of receiving a call, regardless of the time of day.

Douglas County School Board rescinds latest voucher program Officials come to decision because of concerns about mounting legal costs

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Board of Education has voted 7-0 to rescind its School Choice Grant Program because of rising concerns about the cost of defending it against ongoing legal challenges.

With the newest voucher program gone, all litigation concerning it will also go away.

The program had effectively been suspended since the spring, and no students were using it.

“There is a grave concern about

the cost running up and we do have an obligation to our taxpayers,” board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said at the Nov. 15 school board meeting.

The amount of money the district has spent on defending the program was not available by press time.

Lemieux In March, the school board amended and renamed its original voucher system, the Choice Scholarship Program, to prohibit money from being used at religious schools — a point that led to litigation against the prior program.

Reynolds Judge Michael Martinez of the 2nd Judicial District

‘There is a grave concern about the cost running up and we do have an obligation to our taxpayers.’

Anne-Marie Lemieux, Douglas County School Board member stopped the newest voucher program Aug. 3. Martinez granted the injunction filed by Taxpayers for Public Education, a group that, according to its website, is a Colorado-based, bipartisan organization made up of taxpayers and parents of children enrolled in public schools.

Martinez found that the School Choice Grant Program was fundamentally the same as its predecessor, and that it was covered by the same injunction that halted the earlier version of the program.

Armed suspect robs Game Stop

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An unidentified armed suspect robbed the Game Stop video game store at 11153 S. Parker Road of cash and merchandise at approximately 9:45 p.m. on Nov. 17.

According to store leader Marlowe Jones, a man wearing a helmet and body armor threatened two store employees with a black handgun. Jones said the suspect was in the store for several minutes as employees surrendered the money from cash registers to the suspect.

The Parker Police Department described the suspect as an AfricanAmerican male, between 5 feet 6 and 5 feet 10 inches in height and between 140 and 160 pounds and described him as dressed in a black hoodie, black mask and black pants. Police said he left on foot, carrying the stolen mer-

chandise and cash in Game Stop bags.

“Everyone was OK,” Jones said, but he added that the two employees were “shaken up” by the incident. “I have them off until they’re ready to come back, if they even do.”

Officers canvassed the area but could not locate the man. An investigation into the incident is ongoing and police are looking into whether the robbery is connected to any similar crimes.

Jones said he was glad that nobody was hurt and the only loss was the cash, but he said he was still surprised a crime like this could happen in Parker and in such a busy area.

“You just don’t think something like that would happen here,” Jones said.

The Parker Police Department asks anyone with information about the incident to contact Detective Jake Schuster at 303-805-6554 or jschuster@ parkeronline.org.

Inside each box were toothbrushes, toothpaste, school supplies, soap, hard candy and stuffed animals.

Perkins is the collection center coordinator at Southeast Christian Church in Parker for Operation Christmas Child, which sends shoeboxes filled with Christmas gifts to impoverished children from ages 2 to 14 around the world.

Samaritan’s Purse is a nonprofit Christian organization that partners with churches worldwide to help those affected by poverty, war, natural disasters, disease and famine.

On Nov. 15, two large trailers sat in Southeast’s parking lot, waiting to be filled with the shoeboxes. The trailers

Happy Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving — and keep on being thankful

WINNING WORDS

very year it seems like the Christmas music starts earlier and the holiday promotions and advertising start even earlier. I mean, we barely get past Halloween and we are quickly immersed in the chaos of the Christmas holiday. Now don’t get me wrong, I truly love Christmas and I give thanks for the true meaning of the holiday, I just wish that somehow we could minimize the commercialization of the holiday and get back to what it is really all about.

With that said, how many of us fall victim to that same rush and crush of the holiday? Has Thanksgiving become just another holiday sandwiched in somewhere between The Fourth of July and Christmas? Maybe we allow it

to happen or we just don’t know how to stop the wave of promotions and hype that have taken over the holidays. I mean, here we are on Thursday giving thanks and then waking up at 3 in the morning to tackle “Black Friday.”

For me, Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays. Not only because we get to be with family and friends and enjoy the amazing meals and desserts, but also because we are intentionally put in a position to give thanks for all we have and to express gratitude for all of those people who are so very near and dear to us.

And for many of us, our favorite part of the holiday is the access to those scrumptious leftovers. Turkey sandwiches, turkey soup,

was taught new skills to help me become even more adept.

Thanks to my upbringing and work in the construction business, we constantly solved problems by creatively implementing new solutions. When you’re in the field with limited resources, your creativity soars. In corporate America I further honed my abilities to do this.

One soon learns the best laid plans by the “experts” is good for a day or two. Life begins to happen. Decisions are changed or postponed, parts show up late, and designs are modified. Rather than get all worked up over these events, I had absolute confidence we would succeed. I viewed them as a challenge and flowed with

the new information. To me it was like solving a dynamic jigsaw puzzle — the fun was in seeing how all the necessary pieces could be put together to meet the original goal.

I quickly learned the benefits of asking powerful-versusdisempowering questions.

Empowering questions are: • How can this help me?

• How can we use this to our advantage in achieving the goal?

• What is the lesson? How can this make me better?

Disempowering questions are: • Why is this happening to me?

• What else can go wrong?

• What am I going to do now?

SMITH: Don’t tell me when it’s time to celebrate someone or something FROM PAGE 12

I am thankful for the humble ellipsis …

An ellipsis allows me to say something without saying anything.

I am thankful for the internet, because it enables me to cobble together one of these columns, and give the impression that I am knowledgeable, when actually I can only name six state capitols.

Or is it “capitals”?

That’s an old joke: What’s the capital of Ohio? It’s “O.” I am thankful that dogs don’t hold it against us, what they have been through, when we adopt them.

I just learned that my mother had something called “reactive attachment disorder.”

I wish I had known sooner.

My mother was adopted, but not soon enough. By the time she was adopted, she felt

unwanted and unloved, even though she was wanted and loved. She protected herself by criticizing others, perhaps before they could criticize her.

We had several epic Thanksgivings when I was Holden Caulfield Jr. On the other hand, Smitty forgave or forgot the two owners ahead of me.

Thankfully.

I am not crazy about being told when to celebrate someone

or something. That goes for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Valentine’s Day. That’s someone’s idea of making a penny.

I was asked to draw the fifth grade Thanksgiving mural at Eberwhite Elementary School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There are no photographs of it, and if there were, I’d try to suppress them.

I’m sure that I drew pilgrims and Indians, and picnic tables.

Badly.

I didn’t know it at the time, but it was the start of something that became my life.

Making art.

I am always thankful for that too.

BOTT: Friends and family can help remind us all of how to be thankful FROM PAGE 12

You see that disempowering questions quickly put you into a tail-spin and do not help in finding a solution.

It’s amazing how many people continue to behave this way even though they have years of experience. They develop a victim attitude. When this happens, they’re basically whipped and have little if any chance of success. Stress levels rise, tempers flare, and blame is thrown about.

Empowering questions put you into a positive frame of mind. Your mind-set is one of “I’ve got this” or “we can make it work.”

During our lunch break in Corporate America, we created a solutions game. We would see how many different solutions we could come up with based upon the current fixed knowns.

Nothing was off limits — any idea was valid no matter how crazy it seemed. We discovered that someone’s goofy idea would oftentimes trigger a great idea by someone else. All of this is part of the

solution process.

At the time I didn’t realize the importance or benefit in this way of thinking.

I viewed it as a fun game to stretch our imagination. It wasn’t until later that I understood we were building our lateral thinking muscles and teaching ourselves to connect the dots in different ways. This “game” is one I still play.

I recently read in “The Obstacle” by Ryan Holliday that in a study of 208 old/new military campaigns, only 2 percent of the successful battles were accomplished via attacking the enemy at its strong point. The overwhelming majority of successful battles occurred by finding new solutions and connecting the dots in different and unexpected ways.

When you find yourself at wits end, when you feel stuck and are out of ideas, when your stress level is skyhigh, this is the time to take a breather and connect the dots in a different way.

The answer is staring you in the face, but you’re stuck in rigid views of the

cup of coffee, a workout, maybe a little Bible study, getting to work, handling our tasks and to-do’s, stopping by our favorite lunch place or enjoying our lunch made at home. What if we built in time to our daily routine to recognize and appreciate what we have been blessed with in this life, including all of the wonderful people in our lives?

I love being at the dinner table at Thanksgiving and hearing what everyone has to share regarding what they are most thankful for. I too get caught up in the ceremony of the day and maybe get a little too amped up about what I am thankful for. But more than the holiday, I enjoy the halo effect of Thanksgiving. I love to be re-inspired to give thanks and show gratitude wherever and whenever possible. To me, the Thanksgiving holiday is kind of like New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Eve, most of us get inspired to set new goals, drop bad habits, and renew our interests in meaningful work or activities. Thanksgiving is the same in that it should inspire us to maintain the spirit

of gratitude for the next 365 days.

And you see, just like New Year’s Eve where some people establish goals and quickly lose interest within a few days, people who celebrate Thanksgiving and share their appreciation on that day seem to quickly forget their blessings as they rush into the end of year priorities and holidays. Staying committed to an attitude of gratitude takes work,and that is why we must build it into our daily routines and internalize the importance of showing gratitude and appreciation.

So how about you? Is Thanksgiving a “one-and-done” holiday for you or do you use it as a time of year to renew your passion and intent around being grateful for everyone and all things in your life? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we can give thanks after Thanksgiving, it really will be a better than good week.

LIFE Childcare alternatives gain popularity Au pair programs offer cultural exchange opportunity

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

ederica Foltmann snuck around her living room couch on a recent afternoon in her Castle Pines home.

Hiding around the corner was the 6-year-old girl she nannies.

When Foltmann caught up, the shy but curious girl buried her face into Foltmann’s stomach and gave her a tight hug. Foltmann hugged her back, talking to her in Italian-accented English.

It’s all in a day’s work for the 20-yearold Brescia, Italy native, and all part of the experience in coming to the United States to work as an au pair.

Au pairs are a type of in-home childcare provider. The option is one some Denver metro families are choosing over more traditional methods like day cares, relying on relatives to babysit or nannies. Au pairs differ from nannies in that they are typically young adults who have come to the U.S. to care for children as part of a cultural exchange experience.

Numerous agencies place au pairs in the city and suburbs. The logistics of each program vary. In general, however, au pairs live with the family and work up to 45 hours a week. The host family provides food, a private bedroom and sometimes amenities like cars or cell phones.

Foltmann and her host family worked through the agency Cultural Care Au Pair, a nationwide au pair agency run by host parents and former au pairs.

Jennifer Morrow, the Cultural Care Au Pair representative for Castle Rock and Castle Pines, said au pair programs can be an educational and economical alternative.

Annual costs include registration, processing and program fees and a stipend paid directly to au pairs, totaling nearly $19,000.

Nick and Laurie Lazarou, another family using the Cultural Care Au Pair program, have employed au pairs for seven years. Both work demanding jobs and Nick travels often. Having a livein au pair provides them with stable childcare, they said. It also makes time management easier.

“We didn’t need to structure our ability to do things based on the availability of other people,” Nick said.

The couple and their two children moved from Los Angeles to Castle Pines in the past year. Here, they don’t have relatives to help out, which makes the au pair program all the more useful, they said.

When Morrow took over the region in

COLORADO’S COST OF CHILDCARE Locally: Child Care Innovations at Red Rock Community College published data that found the cost of childcare in Douglas County in particular is high.

Statewide: Child Care Aware of America found that for 2016, the cost of center-based childcare for infants in Colorado was $14,950. For fouryear-olds, it was $11,089.

• Compared to Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties, Douglas County had the highest average cost of childcare in both centers and family-based settings for January 2015.

The organization published a study for 2015 comparing the cost of childcare in the U.S. by state. The non-profit focuses on lowering the cost of childcare and furthering education.

• Infant care cost an average of $318 a week in centers. Familybased care cost an average of $206 a week.

The report evaluates factors such as the percent of a family’s income that childcare absorbs and the cost of center-based child-

care. Some of its findings are: • The study placed Colorado in its list of the Top 10 Least Affordable States for Center-based Infant Care in 2014. Colorado ranked No. 5. for center-based childcare for infants. As for center-based care of 4-year-olds, Colorado ranked No. 7 for the least affordable state.

• The annual cost of infant centerbased care in Colorado was $13,154.

• The annual cost of center-based care for families with an infant

and a 4-year-old was $23,036.

• In Colorado, married couples with an infant in a center-based childcare facility can expect those costs to exceed 15 percent of their income. With two children, the cost rises to 26 percent.

• Families living at the poverty line will spend approximately 95 percent of their income on centerbased childcare, and 70 percent on home-based care.

• A single parent will pay more than 46 percent of his or her income for infant center-based care.

May, five families were working with au pairs. Now, there are 12.

How the program works Au pairs and families in Cultural Care Au Pair are matched through what resembles an online dating service. Once a family, which is personally interviewed by Morrow, is approved for the program, they can browse online profiles of au pairs. Likewise, families create a profile for au pairs to learn about them.

When families narrow down their candidate pool, they’ll often Skype with au pairs and conduct interviews.

It’s a two-way street, Morrow said.

Both families and au pairs must pass background checks and meet program regulations. The mutual selection process aims to make for good matches and ensure au pairs and families will get along.

Her agency sources au pairs from approximately 25 different countries.

They seek out the program for numerous reasons, Morrow said. Some au pairs are taking a gap year before SEE CHILDCARE, P15

SHOEBOXES: Samaritan’s Purse partners with churches worldwide FROM PAGE 11

would be taken later to a center in Aurora for further processing.

The processing center, one of a handful in the country, inspects packages from Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah for prohibited items such as liquids, breakables or militaryrelated objects. Many of the boxes go to war-torn countries, Perkins said.

Southeast served as a central location where individuals and other churches and organizations with satellite drop-off locations can bring the shoeboxes.

One of those locations is Ridgeline

Community Church in Castle Rock.

Congregation members Joan Hollenbach and her son Josh have a longstanding family tradition of dropping off shoeboxes. They always pack one box for a boy and another for a girl.

Among the gifts in their boxes were marbles, cards, candy, crayons, colored pencils, socks and, as usual, a letter from Josh.

“All little things that we sort of take for granted,” she said.

Once, in the 10 years they’ve donated shoeboxes, someone wrote them back.

The first official day for Operation Christmas Child donations was Nov. 14. But Southeast had already received

more than 200 boxes the previous Saturday and Sunday. By the end of Nov. 14, the number had climbed to nearly 500.

The national collection week ran from Nov. 14-21. Southeast gathered the donations from Castle Rock, Parker, Monument and Elizabeth.

Shanda Brabec, area coordinator for those communities, said the area goal was 14,750 boxes, up from what the approximate 13,000 donations received last year.

“We will probably get close to 2,000 this weekend,” Perkins said on Nov. 15.

Southeast has participated in the

program for seven years, starting first by holding packing parties.

“I signed up for a two-hour slot and this is what it has become,” Perkins said with a laugh.

Brabec is wrapping up her first year as area coordinator, but also has volunteered for many years.

“I’ve been packing shoeboxes for over a decade,” Brabec said.

She and her daughter have also volunteered at the processing center.

The women say they’re in it for the goodwill it brings.

“The entire purpose,” Perkins said, “is obviously to let children know that they’re loved.”

CHILDCARE: Families are supposed to pay toward educational classes FROM PAGE 14

pursuing higher education. Others hope to improve their English or simply want to travel. For families, Morrow said, it provides dependable childcare.

On both ends, she said there’s opportunity to learn about other cultures and form lifelong friendships.

The programs are not without controversy. Cultural Care Au Pair families must pay their au pairs a stipend of $195.75 a week. Divide that by the 45 hours au pairs work, and you get a wage of $4.35 an hour.

Lawsuits sprung up in 2015 against several agencies in Colorado, including one involving an au pair in Highlands Ranch. The lawsuits alleged that au pair agencies violated Colorado’s minimum wage law. The agencies said minimum -wage wasn’t required because room and board was provided by the families.

Morrow is well aware of that history.

But, she said, she’s never been aware of au pairs in her region being taken advantage of. In addition to the stipend, families are required to pay at least $500 toward educational classes, like community college courses, for their au pairs.

‘The perfect family’ Foltmann was happy with her experience and has chosen to extend her oneyear stay by another six months.

“I actually found the perfect family,” she said.

BOARD: District weighs legal expenses of defending voucher program FROM PAGE 8

“I know where this is heading and it is not heading in the direction of my child being able to go to the school that they want to,” school board Vice President Judith Reynolds said Nov. 15.

Board President Meghann Silverthorn said rescinding the second program does not change the district’s commitment to school choice and that the district is awaiting the fate of the original program, which has faced legal challenges and is waiting to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

“This is perhaps not the best way forward,” Silverthorn said. “I think

there are better programs than this to provide school choice to our families.”

The voucher dispute dates to 2011, when the school board approved the Choice Scholarship Program.

Designed to accommodate 500 students, it allowed students’ parents to use state-provided, per-pupil money toward tuition at private schools, including religiously affiliated institutions.

Taxpayers for Public Education subsequently filed a lawsuit against the district to stop it. A Denver judge halted the program that same year, but in 2013, a state appeals court reversed that decision. The state’s top court in June 2015 is-

sued a ruling saying using public funds for religious schooling was unconstitutional, again halting the program.

The district filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in September 2015.

Taxpayers for Public Education officials said they are pleased that the board of education has recognized “the futility of trying to legally defend its revised voucher program, and has voted to rescind that program.”

“However, DCSD continues to defend its original, unconstitutional voucher program in the courts and to divert scarce public school resources to that improper purpose,”

the group wrote in an emailed statement. “TFPE urges the DCSD Board to take action to rescind its original voucher program as well, and to turn all public school resources back to the goal of educating the public school children of Douglas County.”

Board member James Geddes reiterated the district’s commitment to choice and the original Choice Scholarship Program.

“I am very much in favor of implementing the Choice Scholarship Program and having it be a success,” Geddes said. “I support the concept and I hope to see the Supreme Court will make a decision that will send us down that course.”

Mistakes cost Ponderosa in playoff loss Broomfield rolls to 61-32 quarterfinal victory

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Junior linebacker Quinton Ostdahl was the first player to comfort senior Mikey Thomas, who was kneeling

near the Ponderosa bench while the rest of the team was walking toward the locker room following a seasonending loss.

Mistakes were costly for Ponderosa as Broomfield turned a close game into a runaway 61-32 victory in a Class 4A quarterfinal game on Nov. 19 at Echo Park Automotive Stadium in Parker.

Broomfield (9-2) advanced to a Nov.

26 semifinal game against Windsor while Ponderosa closed the book on a 10-2 season.

“It was a great season,” Ponderosa coach Jaron Cohen said. “We have a lot of kids coming back, but I’m proud of this senior group. They really kind of established our work ethic, a level of preparation and set SEE FOOTBALL, P28

KEEPING SCORE WITH...

DAVID OPHEIM What is your favorite movie?

“Miracle.” Because it is such an inspirational movie that focused on one of the greatest moments in sports history for the United States. The movie transcends athletics and illustrates a victorious outcome that was accomplished through struggle and unbelievable odds.

What is your favorite pre-competition meal?

Gogurt. Because I am always watching my weight and I can eat a lot of gogurt and get different flavors. Plus, it’s good soft or frozen.

Opheim

Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete?

Dan Gable. Because he was the greatest wrestler and coach ever. Hardcore and humble.

Why do you participate in sports?

Because I can create my own destiny. I will get out what I put in. I am in total control of the outcome.

Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals?

Yes, I pace. I pace and pace and pace. I don’t know why I pace, I just pace.

What are your plans for after high school graduation?

I will be attending Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, to wrestle and pursue a degree in elementary education. I want to be a teacher and coach because nearly all of the influential people in my life outside of my family have been my teachers and coaches. I want to have a positive impact on kids and make a difference in their lives. Plus, I want to have summers off so I can fish!

KEEPING SCORE WITH... is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or some you know would llike to participate.

lumni reports are always difficult because you don’t want to overlook somebody who should have been mentioned.

But here goes an attempt to highlight OVERTIME some former area high school players who are doing well in collegiate athletics.

• Wyoming’s football team has numerous Colorado players on its roster, including sophomore free safety Andrew Jim Benton Wingard from Ralston Valley.

Wingard leads the Mountain West Conference with 9.9 tackles a game and is 12th nationally. He is the NCAA’s leader in career tackles per game at 10.05 and career solo tackles per game at 6.36.

Connor Cain, a sophomore from Heritage, has started nine of 10 games at defensive tackle and Drew Van Maanen, a junior from Chaparral, is listed as the starting fullback when the Cowboys have one in their offensive formation to start a game.

• Senior offensive guard Alex Kozan, a Valor Christian graduate, has started 37 games at Auburn.

• Olabisi Johnson, a sophomore from Bear Creek, is Colorado State University’s second leading receiver this season with 20 catches for 340 yards and two touchdowns.

Sophomore Wyatt Bryan from Douglas County is the Rams’ placekicker and senior Paul Thurston, an Arvada West graduate who transferred from Nebraska, is the starting left guard.

Jakob Buys, a junior from Ralston Valley, is a starting defensive tackle for CSU. Junior Jake Bennett from Bear Creek is the Rams’ standout center.

• The University of Colorado also has several players from area high schools who have seen game action, with senior Auburn transfer Shane Callahan of Chaparral, who played in 13 games in 2015, starting on the offensive line for the first time Nov. 12 against Arizona.

• Valor graduate Christian McCaffrey, the 2015 Heisman Trophy runnerup, remains the all-purpose player to watch this season at Stanford. And former Valor quarterback Luke Del Rio, a redshirt sophomore, sprained his knee, but the Gators starting quarterback expects to play Nov. 19 against LSU. • According to an October story, MaxPreps listed the Colorado high schools with the most players on 2016 college football rosters at the D-I, D-II, D-III and NAIA levels. Valor topped the inventory with 31 players followed

by Cherry Creek with 30, Grandview with 24, Columbine with 18 and Pine Creek with 17. Ralston Valley and Cherokee Trail had 16 each.

Athlete thrives on competition Klein honored for second year in row after leading league

Do you have the best holiday photo?

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

We’re inviting you to enter our very own

Parker Klein was a marked soccer player this season but the Ponderosa senior still succeeded.

After leading the Continental League in scoring as a junior with 20 goals and 49 points, he once again was the top scorer in the league during the 2016 season with 17 goals SOUTH METRO and nine assists, ATHLETE despite heavy OF THE YEAR: defensive presBOYS SOCCER sure from opposing defenders.

“I dealt with that a little bit last year and a lot this year, but I loved being marked because it brings out the best of my play, just knowing there is a guy always following me and waiting for me to do something,” said Klein.

“It really propels my game to the highest level because I know I have to beat that guy and do what I have to do to get the ball and make things happen.”

For the second straight season, Klein has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Soccer Player of the Year.

Ponderosa coach Jim Engels maintains Klein is the best player he has coached in 17 seasons.

“I took on a much bigger leadership role this year,” explained Klein.

“Losing a few guys that were the

Ponderosa’s Parker Klein is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Soccer Player of the Year.

COURTESY PHOTO leaders last year really gave me a chance to step in and lead by example.

“The season went really good. I felt good again this year. I had a good year last year and I was really excited to build upon that and improve myself as a player and leader.”

Klein, who is still undecided about a college choice, declined an offer to play U.S. Soccer Development Academy soccer this fall.

“I chose to play high school soccer this year,” he said. “I was offered an Academy spot and that might have dampened my recruiting efforts a little bit, but at the end of the day I chose what was right for me and what’s going to bring out the love I have for the game. I still think I made the right decision choosing high school.”

BENTON: High school sports committee puts correct focus on teams’ winning percentage FROM PAGE 22

• And looking ahead to basketball, keep an eye on CU senior Derrick White, a Legend graduate who transferred from CU-Colorado Springs.

At the University of Denver, junior Jake Pemberton from Mountain Vista and sophomore Thomas Neff from Arvada West could be a couple of the area players that could have an impact.

Ciera Morgan, a junior from Highlands Ranch, will be one of the leaders for the Pioneers’ women’s team.

More recommendations All the Colorado High School Activities Association’s sports committees are coming up with recommendations about such things as exploring changes to postseason formats and ugh, possibly adding another class, which would be awful.

Last spring, baseball was the first to

use the Ratings Percentage Index for postseason berths, but the committee recommended a welcomed change in the formula to put more emphasis on a team’s winning percentage.

Regional tournament recommendations in Class 5A include having only two teams from the same league host tournaments.

No changes were made to the pitchcount rule in baseball, but hopefully CHSAA will come up with a way to avoid the couple conflicts that occurred last season. Having small pitchcount scoreboards like the one used

by Douglas County High School sure seems like a way to avoid disagreements in games before the final out.

FOOTBALL: Five turnovers contribute to Ponderosa’s loss in state playoffs FROM PAGE 22

an example for the younger guys of what they need to do to be successful.

“We’ll always be indebted to the senior class for coming in with me three years ago and buying into what we’re doing.”

Key moments Ponderosa trailed 21-17 at halftime after a mistake induced an early snap on fourth down instead of a punt, which led to an Eagles’ touchdown 25 seconds before intermission.

The mistakes escalated in the third quarter as Ponderosa threw four interceptions and three were returned for touchdowns as the Eagles scored 33 points in the stanza to race off to a 54-17 lead.

Key players/statistics Ponderosa turned the ball over five times, leading to 28 points. Two Broomfield turnovers led to 14 Mustangs points in the first quarter, so 42 of the points in the game were set up by turnovers.

Mustangs junior quarterback Sterling Ostdahl was 23of-47 for 214 yards, two touchdowns and four interception.

He also ran for 36 yards and a touchdown. Thomas carried the ball 18 times for 83 yards and caught two passes for 15 yards and a TD. Junior Kade Ongna caught an 11-yard TD pass and senior Hayden Fowkes returned a fumble 10 yards for a Ponderosa score.

Broomfield, coached by former Lutheran coach

Blair Hubbard, rushed for 318 yards and quarterback Steven Croell threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third.

They said it “They’re a really good football team and usually in a game between two relatively evenly matched teams, the team that makes the fewest mistakes is going to win,” Cohen said. “We made a lot of mistakes everywhere.

Everyone got a part of it.

There were a lot of mistakes all over the field.

“At the end of the first half, we had a miscommunication and snapped the ball. Broomfield made some really nice plays on turnovers. It just wasn’t our day.”

Public Trustees

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.
