Coffman’s centrist views in Colorado’s mainstream, candidate says Attorney general seeking Republican nomination for governor

r e es r r r er

- Cynthia Coffman, gubernatorial candidate

The continued fire escape from the City of Littleton Less than two weeks after the independent Littleton Fire Protection District declared its plans to merge with South Metro Fire Rescue, the Highlands Ranch Metro District made a similar announcement last week. The two intend to sever ties with the City of Littleton as a result.

When you’re a governor in a state that is as politically split as Colorado is, it is particularly important that you govern from the center.

Continuted on page 2

Both Highlands Ranch, an unincorporated planned community in Douglas County, and LFPD, a “virtual fire-protection agency” serving west Centennial and other areas outside Littleton, have been contracting for decades with Littleton’s fire department to provide service in their jurisdictions. The cost-cutting move allowed the two entities to operate without “fire departments” of their own.

If the two deals become finalized—both are effective Jan. 1, 2019—SMFR would become the second-largest fire-protection agency in Colorado, second only to Den-

Courtesy of Cynthia Coffman for Governor

Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, the latest to nudge into the crowded Republican gubernatorial primary, rejects claims that she is too “moderate” for a packed room of men vying to out-conservative each other. She cites her 2014 run for Colorado’s top attorney.

“I was very successful in the caucus and assembly process getting support from people who didn’t agree with me on every issue, but saw that I had the courage of my convictions,” the Aurora resident said. “People in the Republican Party will have the opportunity to hear me talk about issues, and I think they will find that labelling me in a particular way is not easy.”

While Coffman earned raves from her fellow Republicans for defying Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper on issues of perceived federal overreach, she has been greeted askance in more-conservative quarters for her positions on social issues, particularly abortion and gay rights.

Coffman believes her views put her squarely in the mainstream of Colorado voters—a clear benefit, she says, in a state that has been reluctant to elect Republican governors.

“To me, when you’re a governor in a state that is as politically split as Colorado is, it is particularly important that you govern from the center and that you govern to solve problems, and not pursue a particular ideology on every issue,” the candidate said.

ver, and Littleton Fire Rescue, that city’s fire department, would revert to only serving its city limits, unless the city merges its fire department with SMFR as well. [See related story.]

Like LFPD, the board of directors for Highlands Ranch’s governing body says the move will improve fire-protection services in the unincorporated non-city of 96,000 residents.

“We owe it to Highlands Ranch residents to continue to provide the best available fire and emergency services,” said Jim Worley, the metro district’s board chairman.

“We believe inclusion in [SMFR] will provide a higher level of service than we are currently receiving. [SMFR] has indicated they will be able to employ the current Littleton paramedics and firefighters who are familiar with this community.”

And then there were none …

Abandoned as service provider, Littleton Fire to begin negotiations with South Metro In the wake of a diminishing fire-protection role in the area, Littleton City Manager Mark Relph has notified South Metro Fire Rescue Chief Bob Baker that the city wants to pursue an agreement for that large fire-protection service to provide fire and emergency-medical services in Littleton. Last week, the City Council told Relph to begin negotiations on an eventual cost-saving merger of the two fire departments.

“The pursuit of inclusion into your district by our fire partners presents a good opportunity to discuss how all entities may best serve the long-term interests of our citizens,” Relph wrote in his letter to Baker.

The decision comes after 18 months of discussions between the city and its fire partners on the future of Littleton Fire Rescue, the city’s fire department, which has for years contracted with the Highlands Ranch Metropolitan Continued on page 27

Coffman: ‘If there’s anything I understand, it’s what works in Colorado government’ Continued from Page 1 As some Republicans flock to such hopefuls as former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, an anti-illegal immigration firebrand, Coffman cautions Republicans that hardline stances are not in the party’s interests for the general election.

“That would only lead Republicans into the same situation we have found ourselves in so often, which is where the candidate is not electable by the entire population of Colorado,” she said.

November surprise

Coffman, 55, the former wife of Tancredo successor Mike Coffman, was in one sense a surprise candidate when she formally entered the primary last month. Although known to be mulling a run to become Colorado’s first woman governor, many— including District Attorney George Brauchler—were ready to assume she would run for re-election rather than enter a less certain contest full of well-funded heavy hitters. Coffman’s announcement prompted Brauchler to switch from the governor’s race to the wide-open primary for attorney general.

For Coffman’s part, the

timing of her announcement was born more in the realities of her current job than uncertainty, the candidate says.

“It actually didn’t take me long to make the decision. I just chose to announce it a year out from the general election,” she explained. “I have a very big job as attorney general and didn’t want to spend two years campaigning when I think that all people feel is necessary as voters is a good year to listen to candidates.”

Although Coffman once told The Villager that her political ambitions ended at the Colorado Department of Law, she says she gradually changed her mind as she talked to constituents and realized that the truly important issues were more germane to the governor’s office.

“It’s been an evolution for me,” she said. “I very much enjoy my work as an attorney for the state, but as I expanded my role and became a larger part of state government, I became aware of issues that we’re facing—issues of soaring growth and infrastructure that has not kept up, issues around the urban-rural divide, and places in the state of Colorado that have not recovered from the recession.”

Coffman points to her two decades in state government

as unique among her primary competition of former lawmakers and businessmen.

Born in Missouri, she earned her law degree at Georgia State University in Atlanta before beginning her legal career in 1993 at the Georgia attorney general’s office. Three years later, she was hired as a lawyer for the Olympic games in Atlanta.

After moving to Colorado, Coffman worked for the research office of the nonpartisan Legislative Council at the state Capitol before landing a position at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Then Gov. Bill Owens tapped her as his chief legal counsel before Attorney General John Suthers appointed her as his deputy.

“If there’s anything I understand, it’s what works in Colorado government,” she said.

Controversial tenure

After being elected attorney general in 2014, succeeding term-limited Suthers, Coffman made headlines for her public battles with Hickenlooper—first on perceived overreach by President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency and then opting not to join a lawsuit chal-

lenging President Trump’s decision on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

“I think there’s something to be said for a good balance between the two parties,” Coffman said of her run-ins with the current governor.

“It’s difficult sometimes when the governor and the attorney general are of different parties because these are two independently-elected offices who can sometimes go in different directions.”

The attorney general was the subject of inner-party gossip in 2015 when she was accused of attempting to blackmail then-state Republican Chair Steve House over an alleged extramarital affair. Although Coffman would not explain what actually happened in the fracas, she insists it was mischaracterized.

“It was dealt with and the party moved forward. Steve House and I are on good terms,” she said. “It was an emotional time for everybody.

I didn’t blackmail anybody.”

Coffman made the news more recently when her office joined the U.S. Supreme Court case over a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple.

Although Coffman’s office is representing the Colorado

Civil Rights Commission, which favored the couple as a matter of legal obligation, Coffman is a supporter of gay rights in principle, noting a close personal friend with HIV she helps care for.

“It is sometimes portrayed as a crusade, and that is not untrue,” she said. “But [my support for gay rights] started at its foundational beginnings because of relationships I’ve had with people I’ve seen discriminated against.”

Coffman is likewise supportive of abortion rights.

“I want abortion to be rare.

I want it to be safe, and I want us to be doing things as a society that diminish the need for there to be abortion,” she said.

The candidate, who opposed legalized marijuana in Colorado, also pledges to defend the state’s voter-approved system in the event of federal encroachment.

Her history in legal analysis is a big part of why Coffman thinks she would make an excellent chief executive.

“The legal and critical thinking we are taught in law school becomes a part of how we approach every issue and problem,” she said. “I think that is a great benefit in the role of governor.”

Broncos, groceries and holiday shopping

Great to see the Broncos defeat the Jets here at home on Sunday afternoon. It was a bright sunny day and the team seemed to suddenly arrive back on the field ready to play with zero turnovers and Trevor Siemian running and passing well. It is a textbook case of how a high and mighty team can fall from being a Super Bowl contender to a recordlosing season.

This happens all the time in the business and political world in which we all live and work. Record-breaking stocks fall out of favor, such as the demise of General Electric, now at a fire-sale price around $17 a share. Under Armour, a market darling for years, is down around $13 a share. The list is long of high-flying stocks that have not met earning expectations.

Our very own Kroger-owned King Soopers and City Market stock has slid 27 percent during 2017 in fear of Amazon’s entry into the grocery business. I’ve been shopping at King Soopers and sister City Market stores for decades and find them to be wonderful grocery stores. Lloyd King was a member of my Denver Lions Club who helped develop this very successful grocery chain that serves us so well.

As we wrap up 2017, it appears that we are defeating ISIS on foreign shores, but they are like a disease, and elements are fleeing to other unstable countries, where they will prey upon the populace.

It is quite likely that we will have a tax cut and changes in our tax code. The new bill probably will not be perfect, but it can be improved in future months and years.

President Trump will probably get his wall and I hope that we can save the DACA kids from any deportations and harmful actions. I think he may have to do the deal himself to solve the issue at last.

The battle that changed history

It was cold! It was damn cold 73 Decembers ago.

It snowed and it snowed, and the damn snow kept coming down day after day in Belgium that December of 1944 when the Battle of the Bulge, the biggest, most stunning, and the most confused battle fought on the Western Front in World War II. I know because I was there.

Strangely enough, that December began with a quiet, boring and scary calmness. There was none of Hollywood’s perception of a war. There was no noise and excitement to indicate that the German Army was preparing a 75-mile-wide counterattack aiming to recapture the crucial Belgium supply-port of Antwerp.

It was this monotony that actually lulled the First Army into a false sense of security and allowed three of Hitler’ crack armies, under the command of veteran Gen. Van Rundstadfdt, to launch at 5 a.m. on Dec. 16 a surprise move through the fog-clouded Ardennes.

Three of Hitler’s battletested armies, consisting of 10 experienced tank divisions and 14 infantry units, hit the freezing snow-covered area, which was defended by only five divisions. And these five divisions were manned by young, inexperienced and newly-arrived soldiers, sarcastically referred to as America’s “whiz kids.”

This was the Ol’ Sarge’s expression for the thousands of 18-year-olds who had been transferred from their college campus ASTP (Army Specialized Training Programs) and rushed overseas to fill the holes in infantry positions on that battlefront.

Suddenly without warning, a million men, including the inexperienced whiz kids were engaged in a bitter, chaotic struggle.

Two great gaps were quickly torn in their lines and several American divisions were overrun and scattered.

This surprise German attack, which gambled on capturing American gasoline supplies, ammunition and winter clothing, was off to a successful start. All elements favored the German push. Even the weather cooperated. For endless days, the snow continued to fall while the dense fog hung on and on.

The German objective to recapture Liege and Antwerp seemed within their grasp as the snowy weather prevented our Air Force from attacking the advancing German tanks or strafing their infantry columns.

But with victory close at hand, the Germans lost all sense of decency or righteousness—if those two words can be used in con-

nection with the Germans of the ‘40s.

By wearing captured American uniforms, the Germans were able to masquerade as American GIs and wreak havoc behind our lines, while simultaneously capturing key company personnel. Normal rules of war were discarded by the Germans, who at Malmedy, Belgium actually murdered their captured U.S. prisoners.

BY MORT Although our American casualties and deaths conMARKS tinued to mount as the enemy rolled on, there slowly developed a split in the German advance caused by our 7th Armored Division and the 101st Airborne.

The 7th Armored grimly held their position at the town of St. Vith, Belgium, and the 101st made history at Bastogne.

During those terrible days, no valor was displayed more openly than by that group of gallant men from the 101st Airborne who defied and held back the German advance in the small and previously unheard-of city called Bastogne. Even though they were completely surrounded and death was imminent, these Americans refused to surrender. In fact, it was here at Bastogne that Maj. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, their commander, answered the Germans’ demand for surrender with but one word, “nuts.”

Given this extra time, the 1st Army was able to regroup and block the Germans moving toward Liege while meanwhile Gen. Patton performed a military miracle—he was able to defy all logistic odds and moved the entire 3rd Army overnight from Luxembourg into the Belgium battle zone.

Despite the fact that the Battle of the Bulge ended close to where it started, its effect on the last stages of the war in Europe was great. Hitler had bet too much and lost heavily in men and material at a time when he could ill afford to lose anything. At the same time, our armies were shaken out of all complacency by the viciousness with which the Germans could strike in their death struggle.

The Battle of the Bulge proved that former Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter was correct when he said that contrary to what some pacifists may believe, “it is not true that wars never settle anything.”

The Battle of the Bulge proved that they do.

Although many weeks of savage fighting still lay ahead, our victory at the Battle of the Bulge proved that the last 100 days of the “Thousand Year Third Reich” had begun.

Diversity of passions with a common goal Last week, I had the distinct honor to witness two separate events that while totally dissimilar in their goals were focused on the same principle of bringing Aurora citizens together for a greater purpose.

The first event was sponsored by Aurora Warms the Night, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit that seeks to preserve the life, health and stability of Aurora’s men, women and children facing homelessness when temperatures drop below 20 degrees. The program has helped thousands of clients and their families.

The event was held at the Hyatt Regency, Aurora’s newest hotel and convention center, located across from the Anschutz Medical campus on Colfax Avenue. The purpose of the event was to bring together community leaders, sponsors and Aurora

and Arapahoe County elected officials to assist those experiencing homelessness and their families with hotel vouchers, clothes and other items for basic needs. In addition, it allowed elected officials and community leaders to actively interact with that population to better understand their needs.

The generosity of the Hyatt Regency’s management and staff provided an open and safe environment to allow this candid interaction between these diverse groups by providing entertainment, and an opportunity for the clients and their families to dance to the music and enjoy healthy food with their families, friends and the Aurora community.

I was struck by the pronounced level of compassion exhibited by all the volunteers and the elected officials and

their willingness to combine their resources to find a sustainable solution to this growing problem. There is no doubt that the Aurora community is committed to finding a solution to combat the underlying complexities of those experiencing homelessness.

The other event that I witnessed was the opening season concert of the Aurora Symphony Orchestra at the Heritage Christian Center. ASO is celebrating the 40th year since its formation. It has operated as a community-funded volunteer organization and has preserved the beauty and historic significance of classic and contemporary symphonic music for four decades.

The common thread between these two organizations is that their creations were founded on a specific community need established on the principle of volunteerism and funded by the citizens of Aurora.

Their principles include a demonstrable community need, compassion, and the belief in the charity of Aurora.

Both programs have shown us the power of Aurora citizens working together for the common good.

As noted observer of humanity, Margret Mead stated, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world—indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

We need to continue the spirit encapsulated within the hearts of these committed citizens and help in focusing that energy on the other pressing problems facing our communities, the state and our nation.

We can do it if we only try.

mandering is a good thing.

It’s not.

Once again, the president, breaks with precedent. Instead of choosing a nonpolitical career civil servant with a background in statistics. He picks someone that is not qualified.

Another problem with Brunell: Because he is being tapped as a “deputy director” of the Census Bureau, Congress has no oversight in the selection.

So, it seems that the only way to assure congressional maps are drawn to represent the people is to pass this amendment. That would put a stop to the gerrymandering in Colorado. Then all we have to worry about is whether the 2020 Census is done correctly to meet the requirements of Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution. *** News Editor Peter Jones double-dog dared me to do a column with certain criteria.

Aeronautics engineering ‘booming’ in Arapahoe County Boom Technology signs deal with Japan Airlines

As the latest indication that the reputation of Colorado continues to grow in the field of aviation and aeronautics, Japan Airlines has signed an agreement with Boom Technology to invest in development of an airplane that could reduce the flight time between Tokyo and the U.S. West Coast to just five and a half hours.

Boom, located near Centennial Airport and founded in 2014, is designing a Mach 2.2 55-passenger supersonic transport that Boom says will cruise at 1,450 miles per hour.

That’s a cruising capacity of 2.2 times the speed of sound.

Japan Airlines or JAL has invested $10 million in the start-up with the goal of reviving supersonic air travel by the middle of the next decade. The investment includes an option to purchase

The new plane would have a flight range of 4,500 miles before refueling, meaning it could traverse a good circumference of the globe in one flight. The company projects that it could design and produce a commercial supersonic plane by 2023.

this is something that there’s real airline customer interest in,” said Blake Scholl, Boom’s founder and CEO. “The money is largely symbolic, but it’s an important symbol.

JAL doesn’t put $10 million around without thinking really hard about it.”

The potential for the concept spans the globe. Boom Technology says the market could include 1,000 supersonic airliners traveling as many as 500 global routes with busi-

ness class fares. As of this month, Boom says it has gathered 76 commitments. The company, which also refers to itself as Boom Supersonic, has been actively involved in funding development—raising $51 million in venture capital this year alone, including the JAL investment.

The world’s only other commercial supersonic plane was the iconic Concorde, a French-British collaboration.

It flew for 27 years beginning

in 1976 and was retired amid concerns over high operational costs. The Concorde traveled at twice the speed of sound, crossing the Atlantic in just three and a half hours.

Its demise was hastened by a 2000 crash that killed 113 people.

Boom Technology says its new design would keep the Concorde delta wing configuration, but would be built of lower-weight composite materials, which would cut manufacturing costs as well as reduce flight-operation costs. The company says the design and materials would reduce take-off noise and the tell-tale “boom” sound made by supersonic speeds over land areas.

With the money already raised, the company says it can move ahead with the development of a small two-seat demonstration aircraft, a onethird scale it calls the XB-1.

Boom expects to conduct its first test flight by the end of 2018.

Renovated RTD Civic Center Station opening for full service next week

The Regional Transportation District’s newly renovated Civic Center Station will reopen for full service on Sunday, Dec. 17 after being closed for more than a year.

The public is invited to a grand opening celebration event on Friday, Dec. 15 from 3 to 6 p.m. The event will feature a commemoration ceremony, a preview of the facility, and light refreshments.

Eighteen bus routes — including the Free MallRide and Free MetroRide — will serve the station, which sits at the south end of the 16th Street Mall near the state Capitol. Temporary bus stops on Broadway, Colfax,

and Lincoln will be discontinued.

Civic Center Station is one of RTD’s busiest transit hubs and served an average of 15,000 passengers daily before it closed for construction in July 2016. The completed $31 million renovation adds a third component to a multimodal regional transit network that includes Denver International Airport and Denver Union Station.

“The new Civic Center Station is a modern, streamlined transit hub that fits seamlessly into the evolution of downtown Denver and better reflects RTD’s commitment to the region,” said RTD General Manager

and CEO Dave Genova. “It’s a thrill and an honor to see this project through to completion, and I’m proud of the work that RTD and our partners have done to bring this resource to the public.”

Providing a brighter, more welcoming environment while improving transit connections was a central component of the roughly 16-month-long renovation project. The station now features a glassenclosed terminal building, nine bus bays, and a newly constructed bus concourse.

The transit center’s design also provides an open view of the State Capitol building from the 16th Street Mall.

Cursive Café gives parents and children the ‘write’ advantage New workshop teaches parents how to teach their children cursive at home

Cursive may be considered “old-school” in today’s digital dominance, but a resurgence and new understanding of cursive’s importance is taking place. Writing in cursive plays a clear supporting role in young mind development, overall literacy, artistic expression, and intellectual development. Yet, cursive instruction in elementary schools across Colorado continues to lose ground because schools are not required to teach it. As a result, an evergrowing population of children in our state are embarrassingly cursive illiterate and moving up the ranks without this fundamental credential at their fingertips.

Cursive illiteracy means a child does not know how to read or write in cursive and does not have a traditional signature. A tag surely no parent or grandparent can be proud of despite the curious movement that proclaims cursive is no longer necessary. But most parents who think cursive is important to their child’s mind development and educational growth are admittedly at a loss on how to effectively teach cursive literacy to their children, a life-long skill with advantages galore.

Suzanne Bowland, a local mom, entrepreneur, and founder of the Cookies and Cursive: Mindful and Artistic Handwriting for Children summer camp and student tutoring program, is also passionate about giving parents the understanding, skills, tools and materials they can use to teach their children

cursive in the comfort of their homes.

Starting Jan. 12, 2018, Bowland will present and teach Cursive Café: Quick & Easy Cursive Classes for Parents to be held in Centennial, Denver, Englewood and Greenwood Village. Cursive Café is an efficient and convenient twosession workshop that gives busy parents what they need to know to sit down with their children and begin teaching cursive step by step in a fun and enjoyable format. Using Bowland’s engaging menu of practice worksheets, instructions, and guidelines, parents become inspired and empowered to bring this timeless, non-digitized tool into their parenting toolbox. With Cursive Café parents can give their children a strong and clear educational advantage in school and in life backed by centuries of tradition and a healthy dose of modern research.

Practice for the child at home is necessary but perfection is not. The ultimate goal with the program is to easily achieve basic cursive literacy, and the artistic elements of cursive will flourish naturally within each child. Bowland is adamant that children will enjoy learning cursive in the way she empowers parents to teach it and that it can create a meaningful bond between parent and child. And as a bonus, parents and other family members will learn how to improve their handwriting at the same time!

Registration for Cursive Café is now open and space is limited. Held at local libraries, a two-day workshop consists of two 90-minute sessions and the tuition is $99 plus $25 for materials. For dates, times, locations, and to reserve your space, call 720-684-8119.

visits Vail for DECA Conference

BY STRYKER LEWIS, KAT TODOROVIC AND ABHINAV KAKUMANU Cherry Creek High School sent nearly 160 DECA students to Vail last month to compete in Cherry Creek’s own Vail DECA Conference.

Juniors and seniors alike boarded busses to Vail midday Saturday for their annual competition in the mountains.

Arriving at the Marriott in Vail, the students were in for a time of their lives.

On Saturday night, the students had the chance to watch 25 of their peers get hypnotized. The hypnotist, a fan favorite among the events of Vail, was an amazing opportunity to have a great laugh while also spending time with fellow DECA students.

Each of the students participated in role-play events where they took on the roles of business professionals who are trying to propose new business ideas and accommodate customers. With a large variety of categories for the students to compete in, they took on everything from food marketing to hotel management.

Within each category, each student participated in two role plays—one sales and one human relations. In sales, students are to sell a product or a service to potential customers. An example would be getting customers to purchase a tour from your tour company. In human relations, students are

put up to the task of dealing with upset or angry customers and offering appropriate solutions. For example, if a customer ordered three buses but two were broken, then the manager (student) would have to find adequate solutions to satisfy the customer.

The score of each of the two role plays is combined with a general marketing test as well as a business math test. Those with the top scores in their competition categories at the Vail conference qualified for the District DECA conference at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds.

Stryker Lewis, Kat Todorovic and Abhinav Kakumanu are CCHS students.

Habits to avoid the flu, and get your flu shot Widespread cases of flu are popping up around the country, health officials say.

The number has doubled in just one week and we could be in for a doozy of a flu season.

The best way to fight the flu is to get vaccinated, but it takes two weeks for the shot to become effective. In the meantime, as more people gather to celebrate the holiday season, local doctors stress the best protection is good hygiene.

That’s why local physicians with American Family Care have identified the top three habits that can

provide protection during flu season.

ha ts t a

d the

Knuckle it. When holiday shopping, get into the habit of punching in your debit card pin with a knuckle instead of a fingertip.

This way if you rub your eye or mouth with your fingertip, you’re not transferring germs.

Avoid using your phone in the restroom. A bathroom is coated with germs, especially in a public place.

While most people wash their hands after using the restroom, they don’t wash their phones. The CDC says contaminated particles can live on surfaces for up to 24 hours, you can easily spread them by touching the screen then touching other surfaces. Get in the habit of wiping down your phone to cut

down on spreading germs.

Don’t share pens.

Whether at work or signing a credit card receipt at a store, never pick up a public pen because they’re covered with other people’s germs. Keep a pen handy for any situation that could pop up. Protect yourself at the pump. Drivers must get gas no matter what, sick or not. When you fill up, grab a paper towel by the pump before picking up the gas nozzle. You can also use the paper towel as a barrier when punching in your debit/credit card info.

Sanitize after shaking.

People are more germ-conscious these days so this is not as rude as once thought, especially during flu season!

If you must shake hands with someone, either sanitize or wash your hands immediately.

LPS poetry slam promotes wellness and creativity Sponsored by LPS Wellness and the Littleton Public Schools Foundation, students from all four district high schools recently took to the stage for the seventh annual LPS Poetry Slam.

Each year, LPS high school students are given the opportunity to participate in this unique contest, as well as to partake in workshops and learn directly from slam-poetry expert Javon Mays, the former poet laureate of Aurora, a National Poetry Slam champion and TED speaker.

Designed to give high school students a safe and fun environment to talk about their thoughts and emotions, slam poetry focuses on oral interpretation and self-expression. It also requires audience participation.

A lively evening filled with thought-provoking performances, the 2017 Poetry Slam was a huge success. Congratulations to all participants and to this year’s top six: • 1st Place: Kate Scalet – (Heritage)

• 2nd Place: David Funk – (Overland) • 3rd Place: Ethan McShane – (Arapahoe) • 4th Place: Caroline Riley – (Arapahoe) • 5th Place: Darien Rhoads – (Arapahoe) • 6th Place: Julia Margason and Kaitlynn Pfannschmidt – (Arapahoe) The LPS Poetry Slam is also made possible through the support of the English departments at each of the district high schools.

In the wake of recently voter-approved extensions of its mill levies, South Suburban Parks and Recreation has ratified its 2018 budget, voluntarily reducing its total mill levy from 8.64 to 8.5.

The board of directors has earmarked nearly $13 million for what it has deemed its “highest-priority capital and maintenance needs.”

There will also be 2 percent increase in fees and program charges and a reorganization of the district’s parks department.

Funding for staff leadership training and a new customer-service initiative is also included.

“Thanks to voter-approved 4B and 4C in November, [the district] is financially poised to serve residents well into the future,” spokeswoman Jamie DeBartolmeis said.

4B continued a voter-approved mill levy while 4C allows South Suburban to extend its existing bond repayment to pay for capital projects.

“The district will move forward to improve the connectivity of existing trails, build a multigenerational facility, including turf fields and pickleball courts, renovate and upgrade existing facilities, improve energy and water efficiency at parks, fields and facilities, and improve aging recreation facilities,” DeBartolmeis said.

The budget emphasizes conservation of natural areas and renovating trails, parks and other facilities, as well as energy-saving systems.

Projects that started in 2017 that will be finished next year include the Entertainment District Park in Lone Tree and improvements to Elati, Emley, Promise and Sunset parks.

a federal tax credit of up to $13,570.

There are even educationrelated tax credits that can help your grandkids go to college like the American Opportunity Tax Credit or the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit.

To learn more about these tax benefits, call the IRS at 800829-1040, or visit IRS.gov. You can also call the IRS publication line at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you the publications that further explain the aforementioned benefits. Ask for publications 501, 503, 596, 970 and 972.

Health insurance

If your grandkids need health insurance, depending on your income level, you may be able to get free or low-cost health insurance through your state’s Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. See InsureKidsNow.gov or call 877-543-7669 for more information.

Legal aid

You also need to talk to a family-law attorney to discuss the pros and cons of obtaining legal guardianship, custody or adoption. Without some sort of legal custody, you may not be eligible for many of the previously-listed financial-assistance programs, and there can be problems with basic things like enrolling your grandkids in school, or giving a doctor permission to treat them. For help locating affordable or free legal assistance, visit FindLegalHelp.org, or call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 for referrals.

For more information and resources see the Grandfamilies State Law and Policy Resource Center at GrandFamilies.org.

incomes, lower education levels, and are more likely to be dependent on public-assistance programs compared to their married counterparts. Women who have a non-marital birth also tend to fare worse than childless single women in many social determinants of health and wellness.

Additionally, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 24 million children (1 out of 3) live without their biological father in the home. Research shows that when a child is raised in a father-absent home, there is a four times greater risk of poverty, higher levels of behavioral problems, two times the risk of infant mortality, higher likelihood of involvement in crime and incarceration, higher probability of abuse and neglect, drug use, obesity, and they are two times more likely to drop out of school.

Conversely, a groundbreaking CDC Family Structure Study indicates that “children living in nuclear families—that is, in families consisting of two married adults who are the biological or adoptive parents of all children in the family—were generally healthier, more likely to have access to healthcare and less likely to have definite or severe emotional or behavioral difficulties than children living in nonnuclear families.”

Minority children are more likely to be born outside of marriage and a safe and stable family and suffer disproportionality to those who have a distinct advantage of a two-parent, married family structure.

This is a huge predictor of income, health and educational disparities. Perhaps when the NFL decides where this socialjustice money should go regarding “equality in social, political and economic affairs,” they should seek to strengthen marriage and families as a pro-social institution that fosters the common good.

O

nce Upon a Christmas. It’s a Denver Brass Christmas tradition. One of Denver’s most treasured ensembles once again opens its Christmas story book to everyone who longs for that warm, fuzzy feeling that says all is right with the world and goodness reigns.

More than ever before, given the troubling events throughout the world, people yearn for inner peace - free from fear and full of promise. The music and stories of the Christmas tradition answer the call – and just in time. Whether you come for the Christmas story or the Santa Claus story, the Denver Brass will deliver comforting and joyous Christmas classics that will touch the hearts of your entire family.

The concert will be Saturday Dec. 16 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. at the The Newman Center for the Performing Arts, 2344 East Iliff Avenue, Denver.

This year, the Denver Brass will be joined by vocalists Steven Taylor and Aubrey Jacobs. “These two singers have become part of our family,” says Kathy Brantigan, president of the Denver Brass. “Their voices will melt your hearts and bring smiles to all.” Jacobs will sparkle on I want the Star and Still, Still, Still while Taylor will bring tears to your eyes with, I’ll

Be Home For Christmas and Leonard Coen’s famous, Hallelujah. Both Taylor and Jacobs will join the Denver Brass for some fun in a medley called, Christmas Favorites and Santa Baby.

ite, Babes in Toyland.

The Denver Brass has been performing Christmas concerts since in inception in 1981 and they have become one of the groups most anticipated concerts of the year. It is a season that brings people together and brings out the best in all of us and the Denver Brass feels strongly that their Christmas concert should belong to everyone. As Kathy puts it, “Christmas just makes you feel good, and we want to spread that feeling to as many people as possible.”

Denver Brass shows are

The nation’s ‘Best Loved Nutcracker’ carries on tradition at DCPA

BY CLAUDIA CARBONE Some things bear repeating, whether for pure enjoyment or to carry on tradition, such as turkey on Thanksgiving, skiing on New Year’s Day or watching La Boheme for the 20th time.

The Nutcracker during the holiday season is one such event. For 57 years, Colorado Ballet has been giving us the beloved Christmas classic, and last year the 10th annual

Goldstar National Nutcracker Awards chose it as “the best-loved Nutcracker in the country.”

“We have known for a long time how special our production is as a family tradition, and being named the bestloved Nutcracker in the U.S. proved what an amazing and enchanting holiday classic we have right here in Denver,” said Artistic Director Gil Boggs.

So, we go year after year, but not because we don’t remember the storyline of little Clara, whose magical godfather gives her a wooden nutcracker on Christmas Eve and her fanciful dream that follows.

We go for the gorgeous scenery and costumes by Jose Varona—the lavishly dressed party guests at the 19th-century European estate decked out for Christ-

Nutcracker

mas, the whimsical Land of the Sweets, and perhaps the most beautiful scene in ballet, the Land of the Snow. Here, Clara and the Nutcracker Prince perform a lovely pas de deux followed by “The Waltz of the Snowflakes” by the corps de ballet dressed in pale turquoise tulle. As they dance, snow falls, lightly at first, then heavier. Each performance uses 100 pounds of the tiny paper snow.

We go for the enchanting score by Tchaikovsky, the most famous songs now known as “The Nutcracker Suite” since the ballet debuted in Russia in 1892.

We go for the choreography by Martin Fredmann and Sandra Brown. The dancers who entertain Clara and the prince in the Land of the Sweets depict such diverse cultures as Arabian,

Chinese, Russian, Spanish and German. “The Waltz of the Flowers” is the most colorful set, and “The Dance of the SugarPlum Fairy” with her prince is likely the most famous pas de deux in all of classic ballet.

And we go for the adorable children who perform as party guests, mice, toy soldiers, horn blowers (especially cute) and more. About 90 of them divided into three casts all are students from Colorado Ballet Academy.

Don’t miss your chance to go. Performances run through Dec. 24 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. Visit coloradoballet.org or call 303837-8888 ext. 2.

TOASTED MARSHMALLOW BROWNIE KRINKLES 35-42 cookies

Ingredients

4 large eggs, at room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 3/4 cups flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutchprocessed 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt 1/2 cup canola or sunflower oil 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped and melted 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 35 to 42 marshmallows (not mini)

Directions

Whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract in a liquid measuring cup; whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and both salts in a medium bowl.

Combine the oil and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or use a handheld electric mixer; beat on medium speed to blend well, then add the egg-vanilla mixture in three additions, and the melted chocolate. Stop to scrape down the bowl.

low speed, or just long enough to form a dough that looks like brownie batter.

Do not over-mix.

Gather the dough together, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.

Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees.

Line a few large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Sift the confectioners’ sugar into a quart-size zip-top bag.

Working with four or five at a time, drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough into the bag (or use a #40 disher), then shake gently until thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess sugar, then arrange them on the baking sheets spaced two inches apart.

Press on the tops of each one to form a large thumbprint/ indentation, then press a marshmallow into that indentation. Bake (upper and lower racks) for eight minutes, then rotate the sheets from top to bottom and front to back; bake four to six minutes, or until the cookies develop cracks (crinkles) and the marshmallow deflates and browns a bit.

Let cool on the baking sheet for two minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Repeat with the remaining dough and marshmallows.

CRANBERRY DIVINITY 24-30 pieces

Ingredients

2 large egg whites 1/2 cup water

1/2 cup light corn syrup 2 cups sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup dried cranberries, chopped

vigorously until the spiced butter has created a layer of foam on top of the drink.

Directions

BEER AND PRETZEL TRUFFLES

Line two Cranberry baking sheets Divinity with wax paper.

Beat the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer (paddle attachment) or use a handheld electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.

Combine the water, corn syrup, sugar and salt, if using, in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

Cook, without stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes or until the temperature of the mixture registers 250 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.

While the egg whites are being beaten on high speed, gradually add the syrup mixture. Beat for a total of 9 or 10 minutes, or until stiff peaks form. The surface of the meringue mixture will turn from glossy to textured.

Use a spatula to fold in the vanilla extract and dried cranberries by hand, then quickly create 24 to 30 rounded teaspoonfuls on the baking sheets. Let stand for about 30 minutes, or until completely set, before serving or storing.

Ingredients erably European style or high-fat, at a cool room temperature 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest (from 1 large navel orange) 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 1 teaspoon Angostura bitters 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Colorado Gives Day raises $36.1 million in 24 hours

Colorado Gives Day remains the state’s largest day of giving. Generous donors gave $36,129,285 to 2,309 nonprofits in just 24 hours on December 5. This is an increase over the $33.85 million donated on Colorado Gives Day 2016.

The 24-hour statewide movement celebrates and increases philanthropy in Colorado through online giving. Presented by Community First Foundation and FirstBank, Colorado Gives Day is powered by ColoradoGives.org, a yearround, online giving website featuring more than 2,300 nonprofits. Colorado Gives Day is one of the most successful events of its kind in the nation. Since its inception in 2010, the event has raised more than $181 million for Colorado nonprofits.

Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County received the first gift at 12:05 a.m.

The last gift to 350 Colorado came in at 11:59 p.m. 350 Colorado promotes creative solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build local resilience.

In total, 153,055 donations were made. Amounts range from $10 to $1 million. The largest gift was given to the Schlessman Family YMCA. “We are grateful for

the generous donors who opened their hearts to give and for the nonprofits that inspired them,” said Marla J. Williams, president and CEO of Community First Foundation. “Together, they are the success story of Colorado Gives Day.” “Every December, we grow more astounded by the generosity and support Coloradans provide to deserving nonprofits on Colorado Gives Day,” said Jim Reuter, CEO of FirstBank. “This year was no different. We’ve watched in awe as this annual statewide movement has grown from raising $8 million in its first year to over $36.1 million in its eighth. We’re incredibly honored to be the corporate partner for one of the most impactful 24-hour giving initiatives this nation has ever seen.”

A portion of the $36.1 million raised came through KidsforColoradoGives.org, a new website designed specifically for young givers. “We’re inspired to witness the next generation of Coloradans giving up their allowances and holiday presents to make their neighborhoods better places to live, work and play,” said Williams.

Surgeons at Porter and Parker Adventist Hospitals give free joint replacements Operation Walk 2017 to restore mobility to patients in Denver area Greater numbers of Americans are insured than ever before, but many still fall through the cracks and are forced to live with debilitating and painful conditions that drastically impact their quality of life.

For these patients, the gift of a free joint replacement can be the difference between a lifetime of pain and reduced activity or a future filled with hope, mobility and independence.

This December, surgeons at Porter and Parker Adventist Hospitals will again participate in the nationwide Operation Walk program to give life-changing operations to six Colorado patients in financial need at no cost.

“Operation Walk is one time each year we can give back and give patients a chance at a life they didn’t have before,” said Dr. Jason Jennings, an orthopedic surgeon practicing at Porter. “For some that may just mean going to the grocery

store without pain or traveling. The bottom line is we improve their quality of life.”

Terry Bothem, one such patient, is a firefighter in St. Mary’s who’s lived with debilitating knee pain for more than 15 years.

Scheduled for a total knee replacement on Dec. 7, Bothem choked up when he realized he would be able to return to the front lines, fighting wildfires next to his “brothers and sisters” in the department.

“I don’t have health insurance. My bosses and my employer are good to me, but it’s a small district and there aren’t a lot of funds,” Bothem says. “It’s a beautiful program. I just want to get the word out for other people in the same situation as me so they can get it done.”

Operation Walk, now in its 23rd year, connects dedicated orthopedic surgeons to uninsured or underinsured patients around the United States with no access to orthopedic care.

More information about the program can be found at: operationwalkdenver.org.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Dick Tracy America’s No. 1 crime buster has fried some pretty bad eggs

BY DAVID COHEA REMIND MAGAZINE Maybe it’s not surprising that America’s greatest detective hails from a city once in the grip of vicious gang wars. Creator Chester Gould worked for various Chicago papers for almost a decade before his crime fighter caught the eye of newspaper publisher J.M. Patterson.

Though Dick Tracy’s first appearance was in the Detroit Mirror on Oct. 4, 1931, the strip soon launched in the Chicago Tribune on Oct. 12. But just who is this fedora-wearing detective with the fancy gadgets who’s been gracing our funny pages for almost 90 years?

Gould had in mind for his hero a cross between Eliot Ness and Sherlock Holmes. Originally named Plainclothes Tracy (no first name), Patterson suggested Dick, a name which also signified detective.

In his inaugural strip, Dick Tracy is a college grad planning to work as an attorney and is celebrating his engagement to sweetheart Tess Trueheart with a din-

ner at her family’s house.

But thieves break in to steal Old Man Trueheart’s life savings, and when he refuses to show them where it’s hidden, they shoot the father, knock out Tracy and kidnap Tess, holding her for ransom for crime kingpin “Big Boy” Caprice. Dick Tracy finds his true mission in life of going after the bad guy, with Tess frequently in the crosshairs and villains outdoing each other in uncouth strangeness.

The procession of bad guys included nameful

ne’er-do-wells like 3-D Magee, Flattop, Pruneface, B.O. Plenty, Blowtop Jones, Breathless Mahoney, Deafy Sweetfellow, Johnny Nothing, Little Face Finny and Ribs Mocco—all drawn with a bizarre twist to characterize their knotty evil.

To put these bad guys away, Tracy used a combination of real police tactics, gadgetry and dead-eye aim with his gun. When they went down, they rarely came back. Some of them met justice the hard way, like The Brow, a Nazi spy who

fell and was impaled by an American flagpole behind a World War I memorial.

Dick Tracy’s all-time popular gadget was his two-way radio wristwatch, which evolved over time into a wrist TV and later a wrist computer. Tracy’s wristwatch came to life a few years ago with the release of the Apple Watch.

Gould did a great job of connecting with fans. In 1949, the Crimestoppers Textbook debuted, illustrating crime-prevention techniques and safety tips.

Gould drew Dick Tracy for 46 years, until his retirement in 1977. A succession of other writers and artists have continued the strip to this day.

Dick Tracy was a hit in whatever media he appeared in—as a radio show, LP record, book, movie serial, comic book, TV show, animated cartoons and even video games.

A 1990 theatrical production was directed by and starred Warren Beatty in the lead role. The film also starred Al Pacino as Big Boy

Caprice and Madonna as Breathless Mahoney. Dick Tracy was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won three. (Many consider it to be the best adaptation of a comic strip into a movie.)

Recent reports say Beatty is still interested in making a sequel, though nothing has come of it yet. Fans of the movie may recall Glenne Headly playing Tess Trueheart; Headly died this year at age 62.

No matter where you look, Dick Tracy and his tribe always seem just around the corner. Pop artist Andy Warhol has painted him, he’s appeared in commercials for hair spray, and the baddies have popped up in everything from Mad magazine (where Tracy identifies Pruneface from his wrinkled buttocks) and cartoons ranging from Daffy Duck to The Simpsons.

Well into the 21st century, Dick Tracy is still at it, facing off against the next legion of scoundrels, psychos and punks. Call coming in on the two-way wrist computer!

HHS Scarlet Regiment marching band steps up

BY BILL YOUMANS When members of the Heritage High School Scarlet Regiment marching band gather for practice after school, the grassy field fills with musicians, instruments and flags in preparation for another long threehour practice session under the hot Colorado sun.

As they move to their “dots” (positions) on the field, a swarm of warm-up notes fills the air.

Band director Garren Cuthrell hustles toward the front of the group to start practice, and head drum major Erin Mortensen shouts a quick question over the noise.

Trying to get the director’s attention, Erin says, “At the end of the third movement, do you want us to do a full measure descender or a two? … ” But the rest of the question gets lost in a blast of brass horns from behind them.

With a big smile he shouts back, “Whatever they are doing now, just keep doing that!”

Indeed, whatever they are doing now is working.

The band was crowned Open Class Champions at the Legend Marching Invitational in Parker and scored their first 70-point performance on their way to a 13th-place finish at the Colorado State Marching Band championships at the Air Force Academy in October. These results represent a significant comeback from three years ago when the band had dwindled to 27 members and was losing in similar competitions to much smaller schools.

Evan Meyer, a senior trumpet player and section leader, was part of that tough year, but persevered to see the turnaround.

“In my freshman year, we took last place in state—dead

drills, sets and marching, strong relationships develop within the band that extend beyond the chalk lines on the field.

The band’s resurgence needed a lot of parts to work together smoothly, and there is one critical ingredient that Cuthrell offers as perhaps the most important.

“We couldn’t do what we’ve accomplished without our great band parent organization. Our Band Parent President Debbie Fuchser is crazy good—she’s in the band room four-five times a week and handles all of the logistics along with the Garren Cuthrell is director of Scarlet Regiment Long hours of marching practice are mandatory for board,” Cuthrell said.

2018 Honda Odyssey has Greek gods smiling

BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST This Honda Odyssey Elite would make the Greek classics smile with the wind at their backs and the gods favoring this modern craft. The Odyssey is well named and earns the historic name in all aspects.

The 3.5L engine V6 produces 280 horsepower that is complimented with a paddleshift 10-speed transmission.

This amazing selection of gear ratios can boost the fuel economy up and over 28 mpg that is excellent for this extensive three-row seating, allwheel drive SUV. This sleep van has sliding side doors that enhance safety and convenience for passengers. The front seats are heated and ventilated with 10-way power seats for the driver and four-way controls for the front passenger. The rear seating is individual bucket seats with leisure leg room. The rear seats can be folded up or down for passengers or equipment.

The cargo area has a wall mounted wall VAC for easy cleaning of the trunk space.

The back-tail gate is powercontrolled for easy entry and push-button close.

This is truly a smart vehicle loaded with navigation, safety airbags and the latest 360 camera for object or pedestrian detection.

There are many driving

LFPD has contracted with the city since 1948 Continued from Page 1

features including an eco and snow mode. During the cold weather, the heated seat and steering wheel warmed quickly with outside temperatures at 21 degrees. Traction on the wet highway was excellent and the snow mode was selected with the touch of a button.

The transmission is unique and the shift controls are conveniently located on the dashboard with single controls for park, reverse and drive all in the control. While the drive mode handles all situations and speeds, the paddle shifters can control any car gear for a fast freeway entry or climbing up a mountain incline.

This is a powerful vehicle with comfortable seating, a clever transmission, allaround airbags for all three seat rows, making for a fine choice for work or play. This is the perfect vehicle for soccer moms who can pick up most of the team and get them

home safely.

The Odyssey features electric steering and a lanedeparture warning system that actually shakes to warn the driver when going over a painted highway line. For forward obstacles, a light flashes a warning that something is looming ahead and a forward mitigation braking system is there to avoid striking a frontal object as part of a “sensing” package of safety warnings.

Final assembly is in Lincoln, Ala., and the Odyssey has a suggested retail price of $46,670, fully loaded with equipment. The brand-new 2018 model has not been safety rated, but no doubt will have a high overall score.

This is a great family car for all occasions—sharp in appearance, and a really good high-performance drive with exceptional power, control and comfort.

One of the best all-around performers tested.

Ranch would have a say on the new joint board that would be created if a complete merger became finalized by a vote of the community’s residents in May 2018. If voters were to reject an actual merger, Highlands Ranch would continue to contract with SMFR anyway, much as it has since 1990 with the City of Littleton.

LFPD has contracted with the city since 1948.

Earlier this year, the Littleton City Council voted to cut

costs by contracting its dispatch services through the larger agency.

SMFR, which similarly merged with Parker’s fire department a decade ago, is the south suburbs’ largest consolidated fire district. It already provides service to such areas as Greenwood Village, Lone Tree, Castle Pines and an eastern section of barbell-shaped Centennial.

Cunningham Fire Protection District was also recently absorbed into SMFR.

Brinkman: ‘The provision of fire and emergency services is changing’ Continued from Page 1 District and the “virtual” Littleton Fire Protection District to provide service outside the city, serving a combined 220,000 residents in a 92-square mile area.

[See related story.]

On Nov. 17, the LFPD board voted to unify with SMFR effective Jan. 1, 2019 and Highlands Ranch followed with a similar vote four days later.

“The provision of fire and emergency services is changing,” said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman. “We have seen fire agencies in Colorado and

throughout the country merge to take advantage of the economies of scale.

I understand why our partners are moving to South Metro. It offers a degree of financial stability, quality service and predictable governance. For the safety of our citizens and our fire personnel, it makes sense that the City of Littleton joins this unification with South Metro.”

Littleton was initially approached by SMFR in August 2016 and there have been dozens of council discussions and joint meetings on the subject since then.

Englewood teen sentenced in murder of Denver chef Dead body under investigation

An Englewood teenager will spend seven years in youth corrections for murdering a Denver chef.

Louis Lara-Macias, 17, also received a 21-year prison sentence, which the judge said would be suspended upon completion of a youth-offender program.

Rise in Douglas County voter registration triggers precinct changes The 2017 election saw a 14 percent increase in Douglas County’s registered voters, which, per state law has triggered the need to adjust voter-precinct boundaries. Recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners will be heard on Tuesday, Dec. 19 at 1:30 p.m., in the Hearing Room, 100 Third St. in Castle Rock.

According to Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz, the proposed adjustment would result in an additional 13 precincts, totaling 168, up from the current 155 precincts.

The increase is a tangible demonstration of

population growth in Douglas County. While changes to precincts have no bearing on the district in which county residents vote, by Colorado law up to 2,000 voters are allowed within each precinct. The county’s boundaries were last redrawn in 2015 when 10 new precincts were created.

County residents can view the proposed changes at DouglasVotes.com and comment in person at next week’s public meeting. They can also submit comments until Dec. 15 by email to elections@ douglas.co.us or via mail to Clerk and Recorder Elections Division, 125 Stephanie Place, Castle Rock, CO 80109.

Knudsen responded to the scene and spotted the moving car, knowing one of the perpe-

DA’s report says officers believed their lives were in imminent danger

Two Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputies have been cleared of wrongdoing in a fatal-shooting incident that occurred in October in the department’s parking lot.

Deputies Buddy Gillespie and Matthew Schambow were justified in using deadly force against former Deputy Mark Bidon, according to an investigation by the District Attorneys’ Office.

“I find both officers reasonably believed that officers’ lives were in imminent danger,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Matt Maillaro wrote in his Nov. 8 report.

“Moreover, I find, based on the law and the facts, that both officers were justified in their use of deadly force to defend themselves and others, both known and unknown.”

The incident occurred Oct. 29 at about 9:45 p.m. at the employee parking-lot entrance of the sheriff’s headquarters. When an on-duty deputy saw a vehicle backing into the exit-gate area, the deputy contacted the driver and noticed he had a gun.

“Gillespie reported that Bidon had a blank look in his eyes and a neutral, flat expression. When he asked Bidon if he could help him, Bidon said, ‘Yeah, I’m here for my orders.’ Gillespie reported he believed he was dealing with someone who was having some type of mental epi-

sode,” the district attorney’s report said.

Recorded audio clearly shows Gillespie telling Bidon to not “move an inch.” A loaded semiautomatic weapon was on Bidon’s lap, the report said.

Two other deputies were soon called to the scene, including Schambow, and when Bidon turned the gun toward one of them, Gillespie and Schambow shot him.

CPR was administered at the scene unsuccessfully. No deputies were injured.

Bidon, 50, had been a deputy at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office from 2000 until his resignation in 2010.

The county coroner’s office concluded Bidon died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Alcohol and drugs were not found in his system.

the suspect and so he fired two shots, one striking Hill in the back. Hill fell down and dropped the pistol he was carrying.

Knudsen gave Hill firstresponder aid and called for help, though Hill was later pronounced dead at a hospital Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Pearson said in the review that based on the evidence Knudsen reasonably believed his life was in jeopardy at the time he fired the shots.

“Hill presented an imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death to other police officers and to members of the public …,” the report said. “Deputy Knudsen was acting in selfdefense and defense of others when he shot James Hill and the he was justified in eliminating the threat of further harm.”

trators was reportedly armed.

When the driver of the Nissan tried to head westbound on Dry Creek Road, Knudsen’s patrol car intentionally struck the rear driver’s side. There were now five people inside the car, and all jumped out and ran.

The deputy chased the suspects on foot with his gun drawn, pursuing two males, yelling for them to stop while two women fled in a different direction. Hill held a gun as he ran. Knudsen warned the suspects he would shoot. None of the deputy’s orders were followed.

As the deputy ran after Hill, Knudsen reported that he became concerned about a possible encounter with residents of an apartment complex they were running through.

Knudsen was further worried that he was about to lose

The Douglas County Schools Board of Education voted unanimously last week to rescind the school district’s controversial plans for school vouchers, a much-debated program that had been in limbo for six years due to legal challenges.

The resolution, passed Dec. 4 in front of an overflow crowd of mostly voucher opponents, immediately ends what have been called the Choice Scholarship Program and the School Choice Grant Program and directs the board’s president and superintendent to end the district’s litigation defending the voucher system.

“It has always been my belief that public school funding is for public school education,” said David Ray, the school-board president. “I respect every parent’s right to choose a public or private education for their child.

However, as a public-school system, our taxpayers should expect us to spend solely on edu-

cating our 68,000-plus students who have chosen Douglas County schools.”

The move to rescind the legally stalled vouchers came on the heels of an election that focused largely on the controversial program and saw voucher opponents resoundingly take control of the board.

“Our candidacy for the Douglas County Schools Board of Education campaigned on a promise of to end the program and pending litigation,” said Krista Holtzman, one of the newly elected board members.”

Wendy Vogel, the board’s vice president, said she was proud to be a part of what she called a “monumental” decision to end the Choice Scholarship.

“This program created huge divides in our community and did not have the support of many of our residents,” she said. “The current board listened to our constituents and we finally put this controversial measure to rest. Now we can focus on providing our schools with the resources needed to be successful.”

The voucher system had been created by a differently configured board in 2011, theo-

retically allowing students in the district to receive publicly funded “scholarships” to attend private schools of their choice.

The program was never implemented due to immediate legal challenges.

The Colorado Supreme Court was directed this summer by the U.S. Supreme Court to reassess the case and will have final say as to whether legal challenges to the program will end, though the court does not usually consider moot cases.

The main legal question has been whether a school district can send tax dollars to a private religious institution. Most of the schools that had enrolled in the program were religious.

The Colorado chapter for Americans for Prosperity, a free-market advocacy organization that supports vouchers, issued a statement prior to the school board’s decision.

“The new school board must put the needs of schoolchildren before any political belief,” State Director Jesse Mallory said. “Ending this program before it even has a chance to succeed and provide real change in our communities would be extremely shortsighted.”
