Town council passes $51.4 million budget 2019 adopted budget reflects essentially flat total revenue growth

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Parker Town Council approved a $51.4 million adopted budget for 2019 during its Nov. 26 meeting. The new budget reflects no increase in anticipated sales tax revenue and a practically flat overall projected revenue rate for 2019.

The budget passed on a 5-0 vote with the absence of councilwoman Debbie Lewis.

The town budgeted for $35 million in sales tax revenue in 2019, a 0 percent growth rate from 2018 projections, town officials said. The rate of growth in sales tax revenue has steadily declined over the past five years. The town draws 70 percent of the general fund from sales tax revenue.

“It becomes an issue as that growth rate declines because the general fund is the home of most of our operational departments,” said finance director Mary Lou Brown. “When that source then declines, that impacts our ability to grow either existing programs or take on new programs.”

The $51.4 million budget is down slightly from the amended 2018 budget of $51.6 million. The 2018 budget was initially projected to be $54.4 million, but an unexpected falloff in sales tax revenue growth forced council to make two waves of revisions, amounting to between $4 million and $5 million in reductions. The 2017 projected revenue total sat at $50.3 million.

The most recent revisions to the 2018 budget were made in August, when council approved a $2 million reduction, which included cutting services like the annual holiday carriage rides.

The popular town holiday event has since been picked up by the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce.

The town projects $2.1 million in revenue from building permits and an

additional $2 million from property taxes.

Brown said she and town administrator Michelle Kivela outlined three main goals with this year’s budget: Maintaining a general fund cash balance that is at least 25 percent of the total general fund expenditures; finding ways to provide services with incremental cash resources; and continuing to provide town employees with a strong overall salary and benefits package. The town included a 3.5 percent average salary and wage increase to fund the 2019 performance pay increases.

Kivela said the town will be exploring more public-private partnerships as a way to enhance public programs to leverage funding to be able to “do more with less.” Kivela pointed to the most recent partnership with the Parker Racquet Club to build a $6 million indoor tennis facility, which the club will pay for through fundraising. The town will help make sure the fee strucutre, hours of operation and programming align with community interests.

“Moving forward, it is our goal to continue seeking public-private partnership opportunities where we can continue to leverage private resources to enhance public recreation opportunities in Parker,” said Jim Cleveland, the deputy town administrator, in an email.

Some notable features of the budget included a $900,000 decrease in the Parks and Recreation Fund for capital projects, with total expenditures at $9.2 million. The Cultural Fund operating revenue increased 2.9 percent to $5.3 million.

The town transferred in $1.5 million from the town’s cash fund, leaving the town’s projected ending cash at $15.3 million.

“With 2019, having a lower revenue growth over previous years does require us to be more efficient with our expenses,” Kivela said. “So it’s a matter of ‘What’s the best use of the revenue we have coming in?’ and making sure safety and transportation and those types of things are maintained to keep with the quality of life in Parker.”

MY NAME IS

KELLI PERARDI

Winter Shelter Network administrator finds inspiration in work About me I am the program administrator of the Winter Shelter Network, a group of churches that provide temporary shelter for single women and single mothers with children in Douglas County.

I’m in charge of the administrative stuff, like checking our guests in and making sure they’re qualified and doing the interview. I was a volunteer for two years at one of the churches and I worked as an evening host and fell in love with the ladies, all the guests and their children and whoever else they brought with them. When this opportunity came up, I jumped on it.

What made you want to get involved with this in the first place?

I feel like a lot of people are closer to home-

lessness than they realize. A couple missteps, a couple bad months, and everybody could be that close. I read about it when they were first putting this together and called my church to see how I could get involved with this. Anything I could do to make their lives a little bit better, that’s the whole reason I stepped up.

What do you love most about your job?

Working with the guests, hands down. They are so open and loving and so resilient. They’re in some rough circumstances but they can find the best in anything. To let us into their lives and help them with their journey, it just feels amazing.

What’s your favorite thing about the holiday season?

I just love everything about it. It’s the time of year where everybody’s nice to everybody. We’re a whole lot more tolerant of each other, a lot more giving, and I wish it could happen all year long.

brings old town feel Carriage rides, carolers, small businesses made for timeless holiday event

The Parker Chamber of Commerce completed its first-ever Parker Christmas Market on Dec. 1. The new event offered local shopping and holiday festivities in downtown Parker.

Craig Hart, or “Ebenezer Christmas,” brought the Christmas spirit by greeting visitors with a smile as he rang his bell walking throughout downtown Parker Dec. 1 at the Parker Christmas Market.

raig Hart walked around downtown Parker Dec. 1 donning a long, black coat and a top hat, ringing a hand bell with one hand and greeting bystanders with a warm smile and hello. His bell echoed throughout Mainstreet.

Self-described as a mysterious creature, akin to a character from a Charles Dickens novel, Hart, 79, enjoys the togetherness the Christmas season brings.

The clopping of hoofbeats from a horse-drawn carriage circling the Historic District of Parker made the town feel, for a few hours, like it stepped back in time.

“I just want to get caught up in the spirit and the love of it all,” Hart said.

The first-ever Parker Christmas Market brought the old-fashioned feel of Christmas to Parker Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, featuring the carriage rides and carolers dressed in Victorian garb singing a cappella favorites.

The event, hosted by the Parker Area Chamber of Commerce, invited local retailers to set up a market-style shopping experience in the Parker Historic District.

Families sipped hot chocolate and cider as they perused the market and walked about downtown Parker or circled the town in a carriage.

“I think as you get older, just seeing people and getting close to people is really important,” Hart said. “Especially nowadays, there’s so much vindictiveness in the air, so this is like a break from that.”

The Parker Music Academy sings Christmas carols while riding through downtown Parker on a horse-drawn carriage at the Parker Christmas Market. The event was the first-ever Christmas market hosted by the chamber, which announced it would offer carriage rides months after they were cut from the town budget in August.

Man gets three years, probation for sexually assaulting girls Jose Soto had job in Parker teaching martial arts

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Parker martial arts instructor was sentenced Nov. 26 to three years in prison for sexual assaulting two girls last year.

Jose Hilario Soto, 21, will serve the three years in the Department of Corrections followed by 24 months of probation, concurrent to 10 years of sex-offender intensive supervised probation. Soto must also register as a sex offender.

The parents of the victims spoke to Douglas County District Court Judge Theresa Slade during the sentencing: “The world is full of thugs and miscreants and deviants, but those who abuse children who are defenseless and innocent … I’ll never figure that out,” their father said.

Soto pleaded guilty in October to one count of attempted sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of

trust, a Class 5 felony, and one count of sexual exploitation of a child, a Class 4 felony. Other counts were dismissed per the plea agreement.

Soto, of Denver, was charged in June 2017, following accusations of inappropriately touching two children at Otomi Martial Arts in Parker, according to a news release from the Parker Police Department. Soto began working at Otomi in March of that year and was hired that May. The crime was reported May 30,2017. Otomi fired Soto upon his arrest.

“These are some of the most challenging cases we handle,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “We rightfully want to lock up for as long as possible those who satisfy their lascivious sexual desires at the expense of the innocence of the youngest and most vulnerable in our community.”

Brauchler commended the girls for their bravery in reporting the incident. The judge agreed.

“You are raising some pretty amazing young ladies,” Slade told the parents during the hearing. “They are brave, and they continue to show bravery and compassion.”

CALM AFTER THE STORM

SM

Chaparral campaign highlights safe driving STAFF REPORT

Three student leaders of Chaparral High School’s DECA chapter hope to teach students how to rise above risks to drive safe.

Brock Mullen, chapter president, Sami Kuhns, vice president, and Quinn Bang, treasurer, are continuing this internationally recognized campaign into its fourth year. By hosting a variety of fun activities and educational events, they hope to continue creating safe drivers.

The campaign started a few years ago when the Colorado Department of Transportation contacted Chaparral High School because the zip code in which Chaparral is located, 80134, was in the top 10 in the state for teen driving accidents resulting in hospitalizations.

Chaparral DECA decided to partner with CDOT to do something to prevent teen car accidents.

DECA “prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management in high schools around the globe” by giving students the chance to implement real business-like scenarios. Coming up with a creative way to promote safe driving was right up DECA’s alley.

After the death of Taylor Llewellyn, a former student who died in a car accident with an unknown cause, the campaign became even more impactful for students. Since then, the campaign

has been working each year to prevent more teen driving accidents and to create safe teen drivers.

This year #ChapDriveSafe Week included giveaways and activities to raise awareness about the top five injurycausing aspects of driving: speeding, distractions, drowsiness, not wearing a seat belt, and driving impaired. Each day of the week of Oct. 29 focused on a separate one of these five topics, accompanied by a slogan and activity.

Among the activities were students walking an obstacle course while wearing “drunk goggles,” the Flight for Life helicopter landing on the soccer field during lunch for a discussion about the importance of safe driving, and passing out Smarties candies to students wearing seat belts while leaving the parking lot. Although the majority of the campaign was concentrated during Drive Safe Week, there will continue to be activities throughout the year to remind people to Rise Above Risk and #ChapDriveSafe.

Last year the campaign earned third place at Colorado DECA State Leadership Conference in the Public Relations category, earning it a spot to compete at the International DECA Competition for the second year in a row. The students in charge of the campaign hope to bring #ChapDriveSafe some international attention again this upcoming April at the International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Plans are moving forward for a concurrent enrollment program that would allow Douglas County high school students to expedite a college degree or receive workforce training without leaving Castle Rock.

At a Douglas County School Board meeting on Nov. 27, six board members — Anthony Graziano was absent — unanimously approved three pathways in the areas of business administration, health and exercise science and computer science at the future Collaboration Campus, a partnership between Arapahoe Community College, Colorado State University and Douglas County School District.

Owned by Arapahoe Community College, the campus broke ground May 21 on a plot of land behind Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, near Castle Rock Middle School. The two-phase project will consist of two buildings up to 54,000 square feet. Phase one is expected to open for students in fall 2019.

ACC President Diana Doyle said the campus is the first collaboration of its kind in the state. A student enrolled in a program at the Collaboration Campus will have the opportunity to move directly through high school, to the community college level and then eventually graduate with a degree from CSU without ever leaving Douglas County.

The campus will also provide workforce training for local employers and students.

“It’s not all just going to be theoretical. We will have opportunities for them for job shadowing, for internships — the real-life projects,” Doyle said.

“It gives them the opportunity to get into the workforce a lot faster than

they normally would.”

In the fall semester of the 2018-19 school year, more than 2,000 Douglas County students were enrolled in concurrent classes at ACC. The first phase of the new campus will accommodate between 700 and 800 students from ACC and Douglas County’s nine high schools.

Matt Reynolds, the school district’s chief assessment and data officer, expects the majority of participants from Douglas County schools to be juniors and seniors.

“We want to provide clear pathways for our students as they matriculate through our system,” Reynolds said during a presentation at the school board meeting. “Thanks to the Collaboration Campus we can make these pathways a reality.”

Cost savings will be significant, Doyle pointed out. The school district covers the cost of concurrent classes, and tuition at a community college is much less than a four-year university.

ACC’s tuition for in-state students is roughly $2,405 for 15 credits, or a typical semester, compared to the University of Colorado Boulder, which is upwards of $14,000 per semester.

Collaboration Campus students enrolled in classes through CSU will pay the university’s tuition, which is about $5,900 for 15 credit hours for in-state students.

“Financially,” Doyle said, “(families) will save quite a bit of money.”

After meeting with DCSD’s Student Advisory Group — which provides a student voice to the school board — school board president David Ray said the Collaboration Campus is exactly what students are asking for.

“They want real-life learning experiences,” Ray said.

Police seek help in identifying suspect

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Parker Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a sketch of an individual from a suspicious occurrence.

At about 3 p.m. Oct. 21, a girl riding her bike in the 11200 block of Canterberry Parkway was approached by a white Jeep. The driver attempted to make contact with the girl and she rode off. She was unsure which direction the vehicle left.

Officers responded to the area and did not find a vehicle or anyone matching the description. After working with the girl and her family, a sketch of the suspect was drawn. Following the sketch, an interview was done by detectives to get additional information.

The man in the sketch was described to be bald, white and in his 50s, with a salt-and-pepper beard. Police suspect his Jeep was a white hardtop, possibly a Wrangler.

Local officials: Incidents do not indicate larger racial issue in schools

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Authorities from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and the Douglas County School District say two incidents — one involving a student fight and the other derogatory graffiti — at a Highlands Ranch high school are not indicative of a larger racial issue in the school district.

“These are two isolated events and there is nothing to show a pattern or increase in these events in the district,” said Sgt. Lori Bronner, public information officer for the district’s school resource officers.

School district Superintendent Thomas Tucker echoed Bronner’s statement but also emphasized that the district does not tolerate discriminatory incidents.

“They are not reflective of our school community,” Tucker said.

“There is no room for hate. There is no room for ethnic bias. There is no room for mistreatment of others in our district.”

The first incident occurred in August but resurfaced Nov. 27 when a video of a fight between two Mountain Vista High School students, one

white and one black, circulated on a Twitter feed, garnering attention from several parents and community members. The thread, which was started by a man from Maryland who appears to have an interest in issues involving racism, also brought to light derogatory slogans spray-painted on a golf cart and wall at Mountain Vista at the end of September.

During lunch on Aug, 22, a 14-yearold white student wearing a green, military-style coat performed a T-Pose, according to a report from the sheriff ’s office. The pose has been associated with the Ku Klux Klan to represent a burning cross, Bronner said, though it wasn’t clear that was the meaning the student intended. The same student also used a racial slur toward a black student who confronted him, according to Bronner.

The black student, 14, challenged the white student about the pose.

The black student then spit on the white student, according to Bronner.

The student spit back, and the black student swung at him. The white student then grabbed a landscaping rock and threw it at the other student but missed. The black student came after him, hitting and kicking him on the ground until school authorities intervened, Bronner said.

The students were each charged with harassment and disorderly conduct, according to Bronner. The white student was also charged with crimi-

nal attempt of assault and the black student was charged with assault. All charges were filed as misdemeanors.

To Bronner’s knowledge, the students are back at school.

The school’s principal, Mike Weaver, did alert parents in an email at the time of the incident.

In the second incident, which occurred in late September, a racial slur was spray-painted on a golf cart and wall at the high school, Bronner said.

The slur was directed toward AfricanAmericans.

The number of reported incidents showing racial or ethnic bias in Colorado schools has increased, according to Jeremy Shaver, associate regional director for the Colorado Anti-Defamation League.

“Our office is receiving an increased number of calls about incidents in schools, whether it be vandalism, graffiti, verbal or written threats, slurs being used, chants being spoken,” Shaver said, pointing out that the political climate has had an impact on young people. “In some cases, students are not seeing the right role modeling happening.”

Stacey Hervey, associate professor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Metropolitan State University, said oftentimes teenagers engage in the behaviors for the thrill.

“They don’t know the significance

or meaning of what they are doing,” Hervey said.

Hervey pointed out that in today’s political climate, some people — including adults — are feeling more welcome to display hatred or extremism.

“Sometimes kids can hear that and not understand all the ramifications,” Hervey said.

Authorities from the school district and law enforcement emphasize that the incidents do not represent a larger trend across the district.

Paula Hans, the district’s public information officer, said much of the information circulating on social media is inaccurate.

The school district’s policy on disciplinary actions is to work with law enforcement to determine what happened, gather witness statements and interviews, look into any prior issues and contact family members, Hans said. In cases where needed, a districtwide suspension policy is followed.

Hans would not say whether the two students involved in the August fight faced any disciplinary action at school, citing the confidentiality of student records.

Tucker said the incidents can serve as teaching moments.

“It’s also an opportunity for us to continue teaching and practicing respect,” Tucker said. “Respect of ourselves, respect of others.”

Following a traffic incident in which suspects fired at deputies the morning of Nov. 27, one suspect is dead, another is wounded and at a local hospital, and one is in custody, authorities from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office say.

Both the suspect who died and the one who is wounded were shot by deputies.

Authorities have identified the suspect in custody as Peirce Langewisch Elliott Langewisch, 20.

Langewisch had an outstanding warrant for failure to identify as a sex offender, Sheriff Tony Spurlock said, standing beside District Attorney George Brauchler during a media briefing the afternoon of Nov. 27.

Langewisch appeared in court Dec. 3.

Among the 17 charges filed against him are attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer after deliberation, motor vehicle theft, illegal discharge of a firearm and possession of burglary tools.

Fifteen of the charges are felonies. He is being held at the Douglas County jail without bond.

The Douglas County Coroner’s Office has identified the deceased suspect as 19-year-old Nicholas Ryan, of Aurora.

The injured suspect has not been identified. The investigation is ongoing and authorities believe the suspects may have been involved in other crimes.

Deputies responded to a reckless driving incident about 3:30 a.m. near South Broadway, in the area of Highlands Ranch. The suspects had been traveling eastbound on C-470 in a Jeep Cherokee that deputies determined had stolen license plates, Spurlock said.

During the pursuit, the suspects fired at officers “a number of times,” Spurlock said. Authorities are reviewing body camera footage and dash camera footage to determine at what point and how many shots were fired.

At high speeds, the suspects’ car exited onto Yosemite, drove through the Park Meadows outer-loop area onto

Chester Street and continued east on Dry Creek Road, according to Spurlock.

The suspects threw duffel bags out of the vehicle at four different locations, according to Spurlock. Officers from Lone Tree Police Department, Greenwood Village Police Department and Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office were on scene. The items in the bags have not been identified.

The pursuit ended when deputies were involved in a car crash with the suspects near East Dry Creek Road and Interstate 25 in Arapahoe County, about five miles from initial contact.

Dash camera footage released at the media briefing show a deputy’s vehicle maneuvering to block the suspects’ car and a second deputy’s vehicle crashing into the suspects’ car at high speeds with full force.

“The supervisor on scene did give authorization for officers to do whatever necessary to stop that vehicle,” Spurlock said.

Shots were again fired at deputies, Spurlock said. Officers returned fire and killed one suspect, Spurlock said.

The other unidentified suspect was injured in the initial crash and was shot, according to Spurlock. The wounded suspect is expected to survive.

Two deputies were involved in the initial pursuit and five deputies total were involved in the shooting at Dry Creek Road and I-25, Spurlock said.

No deputies were injured. The officers involved in the shooting will be put on administrative leave with pay, Spurlock said.

“This is a traumatic event, obviously, for anyone,” Spurlock said. “It’s always a serious event when you end up having to use force.”

Northbound and southbound exits to Dry Creek Road were closed for most of the day.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office is handling the underlying crime that led to the use of lethal force by law enforcement, and Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the use of lethal force, according to Brauchler.

Langewisch will appear in court at 9 a.m. on Dec. 6, when a preliminary court hearing date is expected to be scheduled.

Ceremony a ‘beautiful moment’ for new citizens

Naturalization event held for youths from . around metro area

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A group of 51 youths from around the Denver area became United States citizens Nov. 30 at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Centennial.

The naturalization ceremony, which took place on the final day of National Adoption Awareness Month, marked the end of a long journey for many of the new citizens, who ranged in age from 4 to 17. The ceremony recognized children who obtained citizenship through their parents, either through adoption or after their parents became citizens through naturalization.

Stephanie Logan, of Golden, watched as her son, Lazarus, 12, originally from Ghana in West Africa, received his certificate as a citizen. Lazarus has lived in the United States since 2014. Logan and her husband, Cedric, have three other children, Elliot, Audrey and Naomi.

“It’s been a real adventure from the outset,” Logan said.

“Always lots of surprises for us, but just a joy for us as a family to learn about each other and to grow and connect together. This for us solidifies that family-ness. This is the last piece of paperwork that has our family name on it together. It’s just a really beautiful moment.”

Naturalization is a process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the requirements established

by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The USCIS welcomes about 750,000 citizens during naturalization

After receiving his citizenship certificate, Griffin Walugembe smiles down at the document.

The group of young new citizens rises to say the Oath of Allegiance and pledge to honor the United States. ceremonies each year.

The children received certificates recognizing their citizenship once they completed an oath and pledge of allegiance. A video message from the president congratulating the new citizens was played as well.

Logan said she felt excited and relieved once her son received his certificate.

“There’s a certain atmosphere around immigrants today that makes it a really big moment to have his citizenship and to know he is permanently accounted for,” Logan said.

The ceremony came during a time of much controversy surrounding undocumented immigrants coming into the United States, primarily from

Mexico. President Donald Trump has led initiatives to attempt to tighten security along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The 51 new citizens hail from all over the world, including Australia, Burma, Canada, China, Egypt, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Germany, Ghana, Haiti, India, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Nepal, Philippines, Somalia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Togo, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia.

“We’re really happy,” said Fred Canales.

His daughter, Heydi Canales Zabala, 10, received her certificate during the ceremony.

The family moved to Denver from El Salvador in 2012.

“My father is a citizen too, now my daughter,” Fred Canales said. “It’s really nice to be a citizen. And we’re really happy.”

The Certificate of Citizenship serves as evidence of a person’s, or their child’s, U.S. citizenship. The certificates

are only issued to people who were born abroad but are U.S. citizens at birth through their parents or who became citizens after birth, but before the age of 18.

Former Colorado Rockies third baseman Vinny Castilla spoke to the children and their families during the ceremony telling his journey to become a United States citizen. Castilla, originally from Mexico, was naturalized in Centennial last month. Afterward, Castilla took photos and signed autographs for the kids and their families.

Castilla spoke about his dream to play in Major League Baseball and how coming to America has helped him realize that childhood dream.

“I was so happy to become an American, because I am so thankful to this country,” Castilla said. “I’m very thankful to this country and grateful what this country has done for me.”

o ahead. Go ahead and ignore me, but one of these days you’ll know that I was right. I have the remedy for all of your holiday anxieties. Each and every one.

You’ll think I’m kidding. You’ll think I’m a fool. And you know why? Because you are swept up in something you can’t control.

From now until the end of the month, you will be under pressure to gather, to travel, to greet, to host, and to spend, spend, spend.

Day after day, the walls moved in on me.

I had a plan. I took a deep breath. I asked my mother and father if we could forgo Christmas.

“How would it be if I visited you in the spring instead?”

“What about exchanging gifts?”

“No gifts.”

It had a reached a point of no returns. We were exchanging gift cards. Nice but needless.

Most the time I had to go through O’Hare, a traveler’s worst nightmare.

I’d get there eventually, and snow would be up to my wallet for a week.

And then. And then?

And then there was my mother, who tried her best, who tried too hard, who wanted everything to be perfect. She vacuumed three times a day.

I’d wake and hear the vacuum.

She wanted the house to look immaculate, as though it wasn’t

They want you to buy someone you love a car or a truck or an engagement ring.

Why not a house?

Why not an island?

What’s my advice?

Let the holidays go, let them play through, and see what happens.

A great big weight will be lifted.

Every year for years, I booked flights in and out of Traverse City, Michigan. Half the time flights were delayed or canceled because of the weather.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Something’s missing Normally, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to the article about the new chief academic officer for the Douglas County School District, primarily because we no longer have school-age children.

After reading the article written by Alex DeWind, I was taken back by the paragraph describing Marlena GrossTaylor’s background as “being an educator is simply in my blood” and raised in a family filled with teachers, principals — a mother who was a middle school principal and being a nationally recognized speaker are weak credentials for someone with the title as chief academic officer making a salary

of $169,000 a year.

I have eight nurses in my extended family. Does that make me qualified to be a nurse… I think not. As a former Douglas County school teacher and Highlands Ranch resident and taxpayer, I find this incredulous.

This is either a poorly written article or Gross-Taylor does not have the academic credentials for someone in this position. I would have expected at a minimum a notation of a master’s of curriculum development or a doctorates in the same or similar.

The article continues with the fact that the position pays $20,000 to $25,000 SEE LETTER, P13

is the season. And with the season, many of us will have a chance to engage with customer service, or maybe better stated as having customer care opportunities. Whether we are physically going to the customer service WINNING department in WORDS the store, making a telephone call to the customer care department, or chatting online with a customer service representative, ‘tis the season to give businesses a chance to make Michael Norton things right.

Now generally I find two ways in which people try and prepare themselves to make these calls or go back to the store to get the satisfaction they desire. The first is someone who really doesn’t like confrontation, and they agonize over having to make the call or go back to the store. They make sure they have their receipts in order and the packaging is intact so that they can make their case.

But they are still mentally, physically and emotionally preparing for a battle. It makes them nervous, and in some cases, even sick as they prepare for a “no” instead of a “yes.”

The second group of folks look at it like it’s a game or a battle right from the beginning. They have no issue going online, calling the business or walking into the store. No, not walk into the store, they march into the store with a swagger like they are walking out of the locker room and onto the field to start the game or fight. They dial the number with authority and cruise through the prompts waiting for someone, anyone to pick up on the other side.

Again, they too are prepared for war and not a happy resolution.

Maybe you have seen the new television commercial for the Discovery Card. There is a young man gearing up to make a call to customer service to state that he doesn’t want to pay any annual fees. He readies himself, steadies himself, breathes, and then makes the call — only to be caught off guard by a customer care representative telling him that there are no annual fees. It’s only a television commercial, however it caught my attention as I reflected on my own experiences with customer service representatives recently.

I truly believe the industry is doing some amazing things when it comes to ensuring that we as customers receive high-quality customer care.

Reflexive balance training prevents falls for older adults

lder adults don’t typically fall when they are focusing on just one thing. They tend to fall because they get distracted and their reflexes aren’t fast enough to prevent the fall. Impairment of “reflexive balance” happens LIVING & as we age and there isn’t enough cognitive AGING WELL bandwidth to manage two tasks at the same time, such as walking while answering the phone.

The good news is that many documented scientific findings show that reflexive balance can be retrained and improved. Tom Virden The effective technique for this is “dual task” training, where a person is given a cognitive task to do at the same time as a balance task.

This cognitive task can be math, word

games, matching problems or trivia — the key is to engage the person so they don’t pay attention to the balance task such as doing short lunges, standing on one foot, or tandem stands (standing with one foot in front of the other like you’re on a tightrope).

This stimulates the rebuilding of synapses in the brain to the point where the participant has regained sufficient cognitive bandwidth for both tasks.

Brain plasticity improvements work just as effectively in seniors as young adults, which is why this type of balance training is highly effective.

So, here’s the problem. Most of today’s balance classes train “executive function” balance. You may have been to one of them, where 20 or 30 people follow an instructor and perform a series of exercises for stability, strength and movement. For an hour class members are asked to concentrate on their balance exercises. While any exercise is beneficial (strengthening muscles,

etc.), they don’t improve reflexive balance, so participants are just as likely to fall when they are distracted in a real-life situation. And an hour class can be exhausting, so many stop going, especially if they don’t feel they are as fit as the other participants. The ones who need it the most often don’t get the balance training they need.

Dual task balance training can be done in short bursts every day — it is recommended that the user do it three to five times per week for just 10 minutes. And because the cognitive challenges are fun and entertaining, the training feels less arduous. In fact, when a cognitive challenge is paired with a physical exercise, it feels like you’re doing the exercises for just half as much time as they are actually taking. So older adults are more apt to continue the training and make it a daily habit, which is when everyone wins!

If you feel like your balance has declined and you worry about falling,

it’s encouraged that you find a program that trains the brain as well as the body, and you will get more benefit, while having more fun at the same time.

Gingerbread houses make

memories

Youth orchestra aims to develop next generation

A

While the Smiths make everything from scratch, “kits are a wonderful place to start,” Smith said. “Especially for little kids because their favorite part is decorating it.”

This year, the Smith’s gingerbread house has a “Great Gatsby” theme and will be available for public viewing at the Colorado Christmas Adventure event.

With about 50 entries for the Gingerbread House Contest and Display at Colorado Christmas Adventure, it will be like visiting a mini city made of gingerbread, Smith said.

bridge was getting to spend time with my friends,” said Lindsey Whittington, 22, a senior studying civil engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. “The second-best part was seeing our hard work and theme come together.”

Whittington and her team of five other Mines students made up one of 18 teams participating in the 2018 Denver Gingerbread Bridge Competition.

The competition is a way for people to get into the holiday cheer while serving as a team-building activity, said Jeremy Crandall, the outgoing co-founder and co-chairman of the Structural Engineers Association of Colorado (SEAC) Young Member Group.

t some point, all musicians are going to have to deal with the stresses of auditioning. And while this is an important skill to master, there’s also something to be said for letting young musicians develop a love for the art first.

That’s the option the Douglas County Youth Orchestra (DCYO) has embraced.

“Instead of traditional auditions, we hold open rehearsals. This allows the students to bring their instruments and sit in the group COMING play with ATTRACTIONS and us,” said Thomas A. Blomster, the orchestra’s music director and conductor. “While we have divergent levels of students, all students want to be there, and they learn how to own their position Clarke Reader in the orchestra, regardless of ability.”

The DCYO will be performing two winter concerts in Castle Rock to celebrate the season — the first at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8 at Christ’s Episcopal Church, 615 Fourth St., and the second at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 9 at New Hope Presbyterian Church, 3737 New Hope Way. A professional percussionist and conductor for 45 years, Blomster believes in setting high expectations for orchestra members as a way to challenge them and hone their musical skills.

“My expectations both musically and behaviorally are of the highest level,” he said. “In addition, we bring in professional coaches to work with the students in sectionals as well. I believe the DCYO is unique in the metropolitan area as it offers these experiences at the lowest price of any youth orchestra in Colorado.”

The upcoming winter concerts are the culmination of a semester’s worth of work. Not only is it a chance for the students to shine, but it takes their learning to another level.

“One of the reasons we perform a concert twice is because the first performance will ‘hardwire’ a lot of things, and the second performance gives the students a chance to do it again, but with a different perspective,” Blomster explained.

robably every little kid dreams of living in a house made of candy, said Coletta Smith of Castle Rock, one of the coordinators for the Colorado Christmas Adventure event.

“Gingerbread houses capture something about childhood that’s magical,” Smith said. And “the experience you get when making something with your kids is always a win.”

No matter if you’re into building the little, tasty houses, or simply viewing the elaborately decorative displays of them, for many, gingerbread houses are a favorite holiday tradition.

Colorado Christmas Adventure For the Smith family — Coletta; her husband Craig; and their two daughters, Rochelle, 19, and Lynae, 16 — making a gingerbread house has been an annual tradition for the past 15 years.

Smith especially enjoys it because she loves to see her children’s creativity bloom, and she loves all the conversations they have as a family during the process.

“It makes for great memories,” she said. “It’s more about that than the finished product.”

Erie resident Carly Owens was the only contestant from Colorado who competed in the 26th annual National Gingerbread House Competition, which takes place in North Carolina. Owens’ entry was inspired by the movie, “The Grand Budapest Hotel.”

According to Tori Avey, a food history writer, in her blog, “The History of Gingerbread,” published on the PBS Food website, gingerbread houses originated in Germany during the 16th century. They gained popularity when the Brothers Grimm published the fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel” in 1812. In the tale, set in medieval Germany, two child-aged siblings wander into the forest and come across the home of a witch, made of sweet treats and frosting. However, Avey writes, it is unknown whether gingerbread houses were inspired by the Hansel and Gretel folklore — which predated the 19th-century publishing of the tale by the Brothers Grimm — or vice versa.

The alt-rock duo has released six full-length albums and several EPs during their career. As musicians from the Pacific Northwest, they trade in the kind of atmospheric rock that have made groups like Death Cab for Cutie and Band of Horses nationally known acts.

As a unique concert feature, the show will kick off with a barbeque at the Globe at 6 p.m. Diners will get to sample small-batch oak-smoked pulled pork, beef brisket and turkey breast.

There will be sandwiches, tacos, quarter-pound veggie burgers, mac-ncheese, citrus slaw and potato salad.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

Whether it is training the people on the phones or in the stores on how to properly engage with customers, or the technology they are using and consistently upgrading, the use of artificial intelligence and data, and just better expectations and execution on the part of leadership, businesses of all kinds are making it easier to resolve issues instead of forcing us to fight the battle and still maybe lose the war.

They do realize that when we win, they win too.

So, as we approach the season, and we find ourselves having to find an

ments in technology to serve us all better in the future.

So how about you? Do you find yourself anxious about contacting customer service? Do you ready yourself for battle expecting the worst? Or are you preparing for the happy and positive outcome?

As always, I would love to hear your customer care story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can expect the best, look for the best, and treat others with respect, it really will be a better than good season.

air travel might have saved me from a few strangulations. And we ended the practice before 9/11, when, thereafter, proceeding through an international airport became long lines, sock-footed scrutiny, and being jammed into flu incubators.

There is an American illusion, reinforced endlessly, supported mainly by the mercantile, that no one can be happy at this time of year without giving and receiving objects.

It’s not true.

What if you did nothing between now and the end of the month to contribute to the illusion and just be welcoming, kind, and thoughtful?

I know it’s easier to hand someone

an object. It acts on our behalf.

Try reminding a friend how much they mean to you, and leave it at that.

Try listening to a great audio book with your children, and leave it at that.

Try listening to Mozart’s “Requiem” as a family, and leave it at that.

This is never going to happen, is it?

It’s asking too much. It’s a tradition.

It’s an addiction. It’s now the end result of something that was once rather wonderful.

And they bought it, and we lived happily ever after for the rest of their lives.

You’re probably not going to convince Little Tommy or Little Dorrit of any of this right away. But plant the seed.

There are a thousand better ways to observe the holidays than piling it on, overdoing it, or wrestling for musthaves at the mall.

When we expect the best, look for the best, and treat others with respect, we will typically receive the best in return. It’s when we expect the worst, look for the worst, and ready ourselves for the fight, that is when we typically find ourselves in a fight.

GINGERBREAD FROM PAGE 14

The 18 teams consisted of a variety of groups, spanning from middle schoolers and college students to professional architects, engineers and contractors from across the Denver metro area.

“It is great to see the different solutions that people come up with,” Crandall said, “and hear the stories of how their designs went from concept to reality.”

Each bridge is judged on architectural merit by local architects; structural performance, meaning strength to weight, and people’s choice. The catch is that it has to be 100 percent edible.

“We wanted to create a bridge that actually performed,” Whittington said, adding this is the second year she’s done the contest, and their arch bridge entry last year “failed miserably.” But she added: “We weren’t disappointed. Our bridge held 1,903.4 pounds.”

Sela Guajardo, 13, a student at North Arvada Middle School, and her two teammates’ bridge would have collapsed during the testing, she said, “but it was definitely the best tasting of all of them.”

Guajardo and her teammates are in the Girls in STEM club — a local nonprofit that works to inspire middle school and high school-aged girls to visualize and empower them to pursue STEM careers — and entered the Gingerbread Bridge Competition for the first time this year.

The competition started in 2006 by

GINGERBREAD HOUSE EVENTS Colorado Christmas Adventure Dec. 7-8 at Mission Hills Church Littleton Campus, 620 Southpark Drive. Free and family-friendly event. Attractions include the Gingerbread House Competition and Display; Christmas character experiences; the North Pole Christmas Shoppe; live music performances by carolers, community choirs and school musical ensembles; ornamentmaking and other crafts; and more. To learn more, visit https://coloradochristmasadventure.com.

Cardboard gingerbread houses Foothills Art Center, 809 15th St. in Golden, is offering two sessions for children to make gingerbread houses out of cardboard templates. While the sessions are drop-in from 1 to 4 p.m. on Dec. 8 and Dec. 15, space is limited each day and pre-registration online is required. Cost is free for members and $12 per house for nonmembers. The class is recommended for children ages 6-12, but all ages are invited. To register or learn more, visit www.foothillsartcenter.org and select the date of the session you’re interested in attending from the calendar. the Ascent Group, a Boulder-based structural engineering company, as an annual company holiday party event.

The event expanded, and by 2014, the SEAC Young Member Group started putting it on.

For Guajardo, it was the joy of building something, and working collaboratively with her two friends on the project, she said.

“Making something edible is fun because you have to get really creative with it,” Guajardo said.

The three girls had fun getting

together to work on the bridge, buying the ingredients — graham crackers, frosting, sprinkles, etc. — and getting to munch on these sweet treats along the way, Guajardo said.

But perhaps the most fun part of it for them was “being able to get messy for long periods of time” while building it, Guajardo added.

Foothills Art Center While parents are downstairs shopping at Foothills Art Center’s Holiday Art Market, their children can have a “fun, messy time upstairs” making cardboard gingerbread houses, said Maura McInerney, the curator of education at Foothills Art Center in Golden.

“Because it’s cardboard, and not gingerbread, it’s much simpler,” McInerney said. “But you still get the experience of making a gingerbread house.”

All supplies — including the candy to decorate and the cardboard gingerbread house template — are included with the class, so the children have total creative freedom, McInerney said.

This is the fourth year she has offered the classes, and there has not been one house that was the same as another, she added.

The kids love the candy and being creative during the holiday season, McInerney said.

“Kids are what makes the holidays so fun,” she said. “It brings the magic of the holidays alive when kids participate.”

National Gingerbread House Competition “There’s no specific blueprint for making a gingerbread house,” said Carly Owens, 23, of Erie. “Anyone can add their own flair and let their creativ-

ity take over.”

Owens grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, where the annual National Gingerbread House Competition, now in its 26th year, takes place. Her desire to make gingerbread houses was passed down from her grandmother, who was a professional baker.

Owens made her first gingerbread house when she was a freshman in high school in 2009. It was with that house that she entered the National Gingerbread House Competition for the first time. Following that, each time she entered as a teen, she placed within the top 10.

Owens eventually moved to Colorado, and this year, she was the only Colorado contestant of nearly 200 entries at the national competition. It was the first year for her to compete in the adult division, which she said consisted of a mix of professional pastry artists and hobbyist bakers.

Although her gingerbread house — which was inspired by the movie “The Grand Budapest Hotel” — did not place, she had a lot of fun, Owens said.

“It had been six years since I even touched gingerbread,” she said, “so it was a learning curve.”

Owens may not enter the competition next year, she said, noting the time and travel it takes, but perhaps in 2020.

Her advice: Make a gingerbread house for the sake of enjoying it, rather than worrying about it being pristine or perfect.

Gingerbread houses entail togetherness, tradition, holiday cheer and nostalgia, Owens said.

“They represent all those little things, all mixed together,” she added.

SPORTS

McCaffrey, Logan are old friends and new rivals

C

“It was awesome to play for my dad. I know my brothers accomplished a lot for this team. For the title game, our coaches had a good game plan to spread the ball out.”

McCaffrey led the offense with his passing and running as he completed 18 of 27 passes for 169 yards, including a perfect 7-yard TD pass to Lopez. He ran for 68 yards and consistently kept plays alive with his elusive moves. Howell finished with 79 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns. Keefe had eight catches for 88 yards.

The defense limited the Bruins to 103 yards rushing and 103 yards passing as Creek averaged just 3.7 yards per offensive play.

herry Creek’s Dave Logan and Ed McCaffrey of Valor Christian had a lot in common even before they coached against each other in the Dec. 1 Class 5A state championship football game at Broncos Mile High Stadium.

Logan and McOVERTIME Caffrey are friends who worked together as the Broncos’ radio play-byplay announcer and color analyst for five seasons.

They often talked about high school football during red- Jim Benton eye flights to and from Broncos away games.

Both were wide receivers in the National Football League. Logan, one of only three athletes to be drafted

by NFL, NBA and MLB teams, was a standout athlete at Wheat Ridge High School and the University of Colorado. He played nine NFL seasons, eight with the Cleveland Browns and one with the Broncos.

McCaffrey saw action in 13 seasons with the Giants, 49ers and Broncos.

He won three Super Bowl rings, two with Denver and one with San Francisco.

The connections, however, end when it comes to coaching high school football.

Logan completed his 26th season of high school coaching and he made his seventh appearance in a state title game. Prior to the title game he had amassed 268 career wins and is the lone coach to win 5A titles at four different schools (Arvada West, Chatfield, Mullen and Cherry Creek).

McCaffrey ended his first season as a high school coach and it was Logan who had a big influence on him applying for the job at Valor Christian.

“I know he loves football and is passionate about it,” said Logan. “We had talked over our five-year partnership about him getting involved in some capacity. I didn’t know it would be this year at Valor. I know he’s got a really good staff and that’s important. It’s a program with a lot of good tradition and players.

“In terms of when you first start there is a reluctance from other high school coaches to accept you if you are not in the mold of a traditional high school coach.

“I experienced some of that. You have to keep you head down and work hard and earn the respect of the other coaches by how you coach, how your players play and how you conduct yourself.”

Valor wins eighth football title Eagles down Cherry Creek in 5A championship game

Valor Christian quarterback Luke McCaffrey runs the ball as teammate Ethan Zemla (54) seals off a potential tackler against Cherry Creek in the 5A state championship game on Dec. 1.

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

The Valor Christian football team was once again playing in a state championship game on Dec. 1 at Broncos Stadium at Mile High.

In that game, Valor completed an undefeated 14-win season and captured its eighth state title in 10 seasons with a 24-14 victory over Cherry Creek.

The only time the Eagles didn’t make it to the state finals was last year after losing in the quarterfinals.

Valor, under first-year coach Ed McCaffrey, won its fifth Class 5A tittle after capturing one 3A state crown and two in Class 4A. In 10 seasons, Valor has compiled a 39-2 record in state playoff action.

The Eagles lost in the 2014 state title game to Cherry Creek and were ousted from the playoffs last season

by Grandview.

“We won my freshman year and last year we got upset in the quarterfinals,” said junior defensive lineman Roger Rosengarten. “We said this year was a whole new team — hey it’s not last year’s team. We’re going to come back and be the best team in the state. We came back, won the state and it feels great to win.”

Rosengarten and senior linebacker

Ethan Zemla led a Valor defensive effort that contained Cherry Creek’s offense.

Senior quarterback Luke McCaffrey, who has committed to play at Nebraska, led the Eagles’ offense, along with Jack Howell and receiver Kaiden Keefe. McCaffrey, son of the coach, has been part of multiple Valor titles as he either watched or played with older brothers Max, Christian and Dylan.

“This was the best one yet because it’s the one that is happening right now,” he said. “These are a great group of guys. We had a ton of guys step up. It was great to see Jack Howell step up. Chase Lopez stepped up and our whole defense played incredible. It was awesome to see everybody do what needed to be done.

VALOR FROM PAGE 20

Zemla had 12 total tackles and was in on two of the six sacks of Bruins’ quarterback Alex Padilla.

Valor put together 84- and 67-yard scoring drives to grab an early 14-0 lead.

Creek drove 80 yards in 14 plays with 3:16 left before halftime as Seamus Henderson scored on a 2-yard run. A bad snap for center on the extra point try was picked up by kicker Mac Willis who ran for the two-point conversion to trim the Valor lead to 14-8. Five Valor penalties accounted for 53 yards on the Bruins’ scoring drive.

Valor went ahead 21-8 with a 77-yard drive capped by the Lopez catch of a McCaffrey pass with 4:51 to play in the third period.

However, Creek’s offense responded with a drive and had the ball at the Valor 23-yard line, but Padilla’s pass was tipped by Rosengarten. He pulled down the ball for an interception, and the Eagles turned the turnover into a 24-8 lead with Brian Brogan’s 32-yard field goal with 10:35 left in the game.

“We were moving the ball,” Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan said. “If we go down and score there, it’s 21-15. But when you play in the playoffs and play good teams, you have to play your best

football and we congratulate them.

They played better than us.”

Rosengarten could sense it was time to make the play of the game.

“I knew I had to make a play for my team,” he said. “It was a clutch moment.

I tried to get my rush on but their offensive linemen were very good.”

Creek (12-2) did manage another score thanks to another Valor mistake on a high snap on a punt, which set up the Bruins at the Valor 18-yard line.

Padilla then connected with Vance Brazile on an 18-yard TD pass to account for the final score with 4:58 still showing on the clock.

Padilla, a rival of Luke McCaffrey dating back to youth league games, wound up hitting on 13 of 19 passes for 103 yards and the one TD. Jayle Stacks was the top Bruins rusher with 71 yards on nine carries. Sophomore defensive back Myles Purchase led the defense with nine total tackles and linebacker Alex Pell had eight.

“We mixed up man and zone pass coverage and we knew we had to be strong up front because we would have to stop a powerful run game and we loaded the box at times,” said coach McCaffrey, the former Denver Broncos wide receiver. “We are aggressive on defense and like to pin our ears back, fly around and make plays. It was a great effort and all the credit goes to the kids.”

Cornerstone Homes Realty

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Careful, Lamb. Don’t let your generous nature lead to some serious overspending as you contemplate your holiday gift-giving. Your social life kicks off into high gear by week’s end.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A positive attitude helps you weather annoying but unavoidable changes in holiday plans. Aspects favor new friendships and reinforcement of existing relationships.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Demands on your energy level could be much higher than usual as you prepare for the upcoming holidays. Be sure to pace yourself. Friends and family will be happy to help.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t allow a suddenly icy reaction from a friend or family member to continue without learning what caused it — and what can be done to restore that once warm and caring relationship.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A relationship seems to be unraveling, mostly from a lack of attention. It might be a good idea to ease up on whatever else you’re doing so you can spend more time working to mend it.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) New facts emerge that not only help explain the recent rift with a trusted colleague, but also might provide a chance to wipe the slate clean and make a fresh start in your friendship.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A family member’s personal situation is, fortunately, resolved in time for you to get back into your hectic round of holiday preparations. An old friend might bring a new friend into your life.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Pace yourself in meeting holiday pressures and workplace demands to avoid winding up with a frayed temper and a Scorpian stinger that lashes out at puzzled kith, kin and colleagues.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A financial matter requires close attention. Also, news from a trusted source provides the means to help sort out a long-standing state of confusion and put it into perspective.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) This is a good time to reinforce family ties. Make it a priority to assess and resolve all outstanding problems. Start the upcoming holiday season with a full measure of love.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t be pressured into a so-called solid-gold investment. Wait until the holiday distractions are over.

Then take a harder look at it. You might find that the “gold” is starting to flake off.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A former friend might be trying to heal the breach between you by using a mutual friend as an intermediary. Best advice: Keep an open mind despite any lingering bad feelings.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of saying the right thing at the right time. Your friendships are deep and lasting.

Logan knows all about the adjustments first-year coaches need to make.

“My first year was 1993 as a head coach and we played Green Mountain in our first game and I ended up calling the same play three consecutive times because I brain-locked in terms of my play sheet and what I wanted to call,” he recalled. “Even though you’ve been around football a long time, there is a little bit of a learning curve for everybody.

“Whenever you take over a program, I don’t care how talented the program is, there’s a process involved. The players have to get to know you, get to know the new coaches. The job Ed and the staff has done is exceptional. They are talented for sure, but it takes more than talent to win games.”

McCaffrey felt welcomed in his debut season.

“In the beginning for me the big challenge was not failing the kids,” said McCaffrey. “I wanted them to have a good experience, learn the game, love each other, play for each other and I wanted to do the best job of preparing them and putting them in a position to win and have success on the field. So there was some pressure there at the beginning.

“Everyone has been cool to me.

The other coaches in our league were awesome to me, very welcoming. I didn’t know if I would be accepted or not as the new guy.

All I knew going into this is I love football, I wanted to coach. I realized I was blessed because I have a great group of kids.

“These kids were pretty special in terms of their hard work and selfishness so they made it pretty easy for me. So many of my coaches challenged me, they are incredible intelligent and they are in it for the right reasons to serve and share what they know about football with the young men that play for Valor.”

McCaffrey’s four sons played at Valor and were instrumental in the success of the Eagles football program. Max went on to play at Duke and saw action with NFL while Christian was a standout at Stanford and is playing for the Carolina Panthers. Dylan is a quarterback at Michigan.

Luke, who has committed to play at Nebraska, played his final football for Valor in the state title game and he was also influential in Ed taking over the Valor coaching reins.

“Lisa (Ed’s wife) and I are not going to know what to do with each other,” said McCaffrey.

“One of the reasons I wanted to get into coaching at this time is because we will be empty nesters and I will miss the boys being at

home and they have moved all over the country and are living their lives.

“Luckily Luke is a lot smarter than me. It’s been tough on me pushing him. Those car rides home are long and he reminds me of all those mistakes I made as a coach but he has a strong disposition, personality. He’s the youngest of four brothers so he’s a pretty tough kid. I’m lucky to get to share this experience with him.”

Luke McCaffrey talks a lot to his dad about football.

“We talk all the time,” said Luke. “We have a good relationship. We can challenge each other and uplift each other.”

Luke says he never felt any pressure from being the youngest of three talented older brothers coming from an athletic family and not once did he feel obligated to participate in athletics.

“They encouraged us no matter what we wanted to do,” said Luke.

“It just so happened we all found the same dream and wanted to pursue the same dream. It was really cool see us all bond together and grow closer and we grew up.”
