THIS ONE’S FOR THE Q-MAN
Adult classes, choice fairs to debut this fall By Jane Reuter

The 5th annual Q-Man Classic, a 5K memorial run/walk in honor of former Highlands Ranch High School student Quinton Sanford, was held Aug. 23 at the school. The event raises money for Autism Speaks and the Q-Man cross country scholarship. Sanford was a member of the Highlands Ranch cross country team and was running along the Highline Canal during a high school event when he collapsed and died at age 15 in September 2009. The thensophomore, who had autism, was known for his kind-heartedness, perseverance and dedication. Photo by Charley Ebersole
Lone Tree joins healthy living campaign Colorado HEAL program dedicated to preventing, reducing obesity By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree is skilled at forging partnerships that make life better for its residents. To that end, it recently joined the HEAL Cities and Towns Campaign of Colorado, a partnership between the Colorado Municipal League and the nonprofit obesityprevention group LiveWell Colorado. The Healthy Eating and Active Living campaign provides grant suggestions and other resources to communities to encourage policies aimed at active lifestyles and healthier diets. Twentyeight communities, including Littleton and Denver, already are members. Campaign director Julie George praised Lone Tree’s efforts to-date. “I think they’re already doing some great things,” she said. “They seem real committed to try to make Lone Tree as happy an environment for the residents as they can.” Lone Tree’s leaders said the campaign’s ideology already aligns with its own objectives and projects in place. Work continues on
The six-court Tennis Center at Lone Tree Golf Club, a project created through a partnership of Lone Tree and South Suburban Parks and Recreation, is among the examples of the city’s healthy amenities. Photo by Jane Reuter a potential partnership with the Douglas County School District to create a 20-plot community garden at Lone Tree Elementary School. A July 2013 survey showed 77 percent of respondents likely would use a community garden. Plans call for opening the gates to the garden in spring 2015. Lone Tree is working toward a lease between the district and Denver Urban Gardens, an organization dedicated to helping start and operate gardens. “The school district views this as possibly a pilot program that could be used in schools else-
where in the district, so they want to get it right,” Lone Tree senior planner Jennifer Drybread said. “Once we get the lease agreement, we can move to design, then fundraising, and construction.” Other examples include the city’s partnership with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District to build the Tennis Center at Lone Tree Golf Club and reconstruct Cook Creek Pool. Lone Tree almost is ready to launch a free Lincoln light rail station shuttle for the employees of major companies along Park Meadows Drive, a collaborative effort be-
tween the city and those companies. The Walk and Wheel plan the city is creating will map out a design for better pedestrian and trail connections. Cabela’s recently partnered with the city and Douglas County when it adopted three miles of the East-West Regional Trail behind its Lone Tree store. The Colorado HEAL initiative is modeled after the HEAL Cities Campaign created in California. While Colorado is often touted as the fittest state, nearly 58 percent of its adults and a quarter of the state’s children are overweight or obese.
The Douglas County School District wants to make stronger connections with its parents and help them guide their children’s education. The district now has a parent liaison on staff, and in September it will launch Parent University — classes specifically designed for adults. The district also plans to offer more information on its educational programs, and host school choice fairs in October to highlight those options. Registration for Parent University classes will start in mid-September, with classes starting soon after. Details will be released soon, school officials said. The classes are coordinated by School-Community Partnership coordinator Katherine Brown with help from a steering committee of five parents. Brown was hired in April in keeping with the requirements of Senate Bill 13-193, a state law calling for greater parent en- Brown gagement in education. Parent University is intended to not only offer adult education, but is built around the premise that greater parent involvement translates into increased academic success for students. Classes will cover a broad range of subjects, likely including cyber security, academic success, navigating the school system, leadership skills, CPR and healthy cooking. “We have a broad and diverse list of requests,” DCSD community relations officer Cinamon Watson said during an Aug. 19 school board presentation. “We’re going to try and meet them all.” Brown also hopes to help parents understand the many educational options available within the district’s schools to try to “match parents and their child with schools that foster their learning style.” “This is a large district,” Brown said. “There are so many school choices, so many things going on that as a parent you can get a little bit overwhelmed.” An updated online school selector tool also will allow parents to review schools on their own. Staff members are recording video clips at each school that will be uploaded onto the district site, offering descriptions of what makes each building unique. “We are helping to communicate all the unique qualities of each of our schools,” said DCSD director of choice programming Tom McMillan. “It will allow parents to drill deeply into all the matches that will work for that child’s interests.” Similarly, choice fairs planned in late October will let parents get an even closer look at the variety of schools. Specific dates for the choice fairs have not yet been released. “In essence, this is an opportunity for parents to come — whether their students are elementary, middle or high school age — shake the hand of the principal, look at the course offerings, get to know the DNA of the schools,” McMillan said. District schools include traditional neighborhood schools, charter schools, online and homeschooling, as well as alternative and night high schools. Some schools offer instruction based around a specific concept, such as artful, expeditionary and environmental learning. “What I envision for this office is … to not only get them engaged but help them make very informed decisions about every aspect of their child’s education,” Brown said. “I see myself as a resource, being able to be that middle person that gets them answers quickly instead of having to go through different phone and email contacts.”

HD44 candidate plays ‘middle ground’ Karen Jae Smith, of Lone Tree, running as Democrat By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Karen Jae Smith is taking a nontraditional approach in her campaign for the state House. The Democratic candidate for House District 44, which encompasses Parker, Lone Tree and parts of unincorporated Douglas County, has seen politics from both sides of the aisle, and is hoping that playing the “middle ground” will win over voters in November. The self-described “Eisenhower Democrat” says she is fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. In stark contrast to divisive party-line messages in attack ads, Smith said she believes that compromise still has
a place in politics. “It upsets me that people can’t get along politically and I think everybody’s pretty tired of it,” said Smith, who moved to Lone Tree in 2007. “So when I tell people I’m middle of the road, which I am, I think it’s kind of a breath of fresh air to them.” Further setting Smith apart is her refusal to accept campaign contributions, mostly because she vehemently opposes special interests and the unspoken expectation of Smith future favoritism that can sometimes accompany financial backing during a run for office. Smith learned a considerable amount during a childhood steeped in politics. Her father, a former state legislator who also ran Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential campaign in Missouri, was an honest
and ethical public servant, she said. Smith grew up as a Republican and later served as a delegate and board member of county GOP groups. But she left the party in 2008, or, as she puts it, “the party left me.” Although her decision to run for the House District 44 seat was “spur of the moment,” Smith has since dived into her campaign, talking one-on-one with voters at community events. The retired teacher and business owner admits to facing a tough road as a Democrat in a conservative county, but hopes to strike a chord with the thousands of voters whose views are not represented by either major party. “I’m really glad Karen stepped up,” said Jerri Hill, who ran unsuccessfully in 2004 as a Democrat for HD44. “Some people don’t want to because it’s such an uphill battle in Douglas County.” Smith is running against Libertarian Lily Tang Williams and Republican Kim Ransom, who was named as a replacement
for former GOP candidate Jack Hilbert. Ordinary people get lost in the vitriolic shuffle that politics has become, said Smith, who is particularly bothered by what she calls the politicization of the Douglas County School Board, whose members are chosen in nonpartisan elections. Smith is still a proponent of a “strong two-party system,” and says cooperation can become a cornerstone of progress. But someone must be willing to bridge the gap. Smith points out that Eisenhower brought people together, and Colorado’s state House “needs someone who can work with people,” she said. Smith is hoping to attend forums and speak to community groups about her support of women’s rights, access to healthcare, financial assistance for college students and environmental protection.

Moody’s reaffirms schools’ credit rating Moody’s Investors Service recently reaffirmed the Douglas County School District’s Aa1 credit rating. The group uses a system of nine levels to rate the future relative creditworthiness of an organization, ranging from C3 to Aaa1.
At Aa1, the district is in good company with only four other school districts in Colorado achieving this high rating. The DCSD rating reflects the recent series 2014 district’s general obligation refunding bond sale. “We went to market with just under $40 million of refunded bonds, and realized more than $6 million — or over 14 percent — in taxpayer savings,” said DCSD chief financial officer Bonnie Betz.
North Star Academy names new principal
Parker’s North Star Academy has named Kendra Hossfeld its new school principal. Hossfeld is a founding member of the K-8 charter school, with more than 15 years of education experience. “I believe North Star Academy’s focus on academic excellence and core values has made this school an extraordinary place of learning,” Hossfeld said. “I am
honored to be named principal of North Star Academy and to continue to build on the solid foundation that has been created over the last eight years.” Hossfeld has a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree in special education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction from the University of Colorado. She has spent the last eight years working in a variety of roles at North Star, including curriculum director, dean, assistant principal and acting principal. She replaces Holly Hensey, who was principal in 2013-14. Hensey stepped in for Cynthia Haws, who led the school from its 2006 opening to 2013.

CDOT gets feedback on C-470 First of eight meetings gives citizens a chance to be heard By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
A lack of current funding sources leaves the C-470 expansion project about $118 million short, Colorado Department of Transportation representatives say. The total estimated cost of the project — which would add express toll lanes along the highway from I-25 to Wadsworth — is $230 million. CDOT reported that $102 million is proposed to come from federal and state funds, and $10 million is proposed to come from Douglas County. At an Aug. 19 public outreach meeting hosted by the Highlands Ranch Metro District, CDOT reported there are a couple of different funding options that are being examined to fill the gap. Among those speaking was Mike Cher-
outes, director of High Performance Transportation Enterprise, a small unit within CDOT with the responsibility to pursue and explore innovative means to finance important transportation projects. Cheroutes presented information on entering a Public Private Partnership, known as a P3, to help with the additional funding needed for the project. But he said that a P3 likely would not be used, because “preliminary analysis suggests that given the size and scope of this project, a better option may be traditional public financing.” The bulk of the shortfall could come from toll revenue, officials say. CDOT officials say that an estimated $103 million of toll revenue is projected over 35 years, and HPTE would likely issue toll revenue bonds and use federal loans to get the project moving. To make up for the projected shortfall in toll revenue, CDOT is in the process of

Douglas County School District’s 2013-14 state test scores fell slightly in two of three categories, but remained higher than Colorado averages. Students who scored proficient or advanced in writing and reading scores on the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program decreased yearto-year by 2.34 and 1.38 percentage points respectively. Math scores stayed steady.
The most recent scores in writing and reading were DCSD’s lowest in five years, but the decrease in both numbers between 2009-10 and 201314 was less than 1 percentage point.

applying for a $15 million Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant. The grant is part of a discretionary grant program that would provide an opportunity for CDOT to invest in road, rail, transit and port projects that promise to achieve critical national objectives, according the department’s website. The C-470 project’s purpose is to relieve congestion and improve safety and mobility on C-470 by constructing additional lanes. In the fall of 2012, the C-470 Corridor Coalition — made up of representatives from governmental bodies that border C-470, including Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties — executed a public outreach initiative and presented three funding options for the project. The options included tolling all lanes, putting a sales or property tax initiative on the ballot, or just tolling the new express lanes, to be built as part of the project. From a 639-voter sample, public input proved the tax incentive and all-toll to be unfavorable to citizens,

according to CDOT documentation. And on Feb. 7, 2013, the C-470 Coalition voted to place a toll on only the new express lanes of the highway. The user-based toll option passed 7-0 among the coalition. “We’re offering a choice to motorists with this project,” said Jerome Estes, resident engineer for CDOT. Cheroutes stated the HPTE is looking at late September or early October to make a recommendation to CDOT on how to finalize the funding for the project. Construction of the project is not slated to begin until early 2016. The Aug. 19 meeting was the first of a series of eight public outreach
meetings that will be held in Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. About 50 residents attended the meeting. Cheroutes said it is important for the agencies to hear what the needs are of the various communities, and to give the public an opportunity to voice their priorities and values around transportation. “Each corridor has unique interests in mobility, transit and the types of choice travelers want to access,” Cheroutes said. “The input from these meetings helps HPTE and CDOT deliver the best possible transportation solutions.”

average. DCSD students scored higher than the state average in all grades and all three content areas. In DCSD, seventh- and ninth-grade math scores and seventh-grade reading scores saw the most dramatic improvement. Tenth-, fourth- and fifthgrade writing scores reflected the most significant decreases. DCSD said it considers a change of plus or minus 3 points statistically significant. Scores for students statewide dropped slightly in all three subjects. The annual test assesses third- through 10th-grade students in reading, writing and math. About 40,000 Douglas County students took the spring test. The district emailed a news release about the
TCAP results. “We are pleased to see consistently high achievement and strong academic growth on TCAP and many other measures,” reads the statement attributed to Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen. “Providing a worldclass education for all students is our goal and TCAP scores are one data point. “The most important function of any quality assessment is to inform instruction. Our teachers tell us the state mandated tests are not very useful for that purpose, and they fail to measure the most important things we teach. That is why we are in the process of building a balanced assessment system that will accomplish both, while working to protect our students from the overuse of standardized tests.” The release also noted that district high school students’ 2014 composite ACT score increased to 22.1. The 2013 score was 21.8.

Charter school shifts sights to JeffCo Founder says planned 2015 opening prompted geographical change By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com A proposed charter school that initially planned to build in Douglas County recently shifted its sights to Jefferson County. The Alexandria School of Innovation,
a project from the founders of Highlands Ranch’s STEM School and Academy, submitted a charter school application to JeffCo Public Schools on Aug. 15. The school’s original submittal to the Douglas County School District was returned with suggested revisions in May. While co-founder Judy Brannberg said a revised application could have been resubmitted in early 2015, the school’s organizers opted to withdraw the application. Charter continues on Page 10

Empty nest takes some getting used to Some of you reading this column will relate as a parent who has gone through the bittersweet event of having your children move out, especially if it is your last child or they were an only child. And every one of us reading these words today has been that child or young adult who has moved away from home, at some point, eventually. Many went to college, others joined the military, and there were some who just felt like it was time to go and find a job or employment and another place to live. Some chose to move fairly close to home, but just far enough to keep the parents from “popping by” and yet close enough to raid the pantry and do some laundry if necessary. And if we can look at our own departures from home we would probably remember the bittersweet moment, our nervousness, the anxious anticipation that accompanies any new adventure, and we probably also remember the melancholy look upon our parents’ faces, possibly even a tear or two on their cheeks as well as maybe even a little drop from our own eyes. There are obviously mixed emotions, and in many cases when extreme happiness and excitement enter the arena, they can serve as blockers to the deeper emotions that we attempt to hide. And I can tell you that as last of my children moved into a dorm last weekend, it was definitely a bittersweet moment. Although she was my most rebel-
lious child, she has also been blessed with boundless energy. She has also been blessed with boundless emotions. So combining rebellion with emotionally charged energy sometimes could create a little bit of friction in the house, OK, maybe a lot of friction and tension. Will I miss her? Absolutely. Will I miss her sense of humor? Yes. Will I miss her hugs? No question. Will I miss just seeing her wandering around the house, waking up, or more accurately waking her up? Yes I will. Will I miss grounding her? No way. Will I miss the emotionally driven arguments? Nope. Will I miss waiting up to hear her come in at night? No chance, as I have been looking forward to a solid night’s sleep for so long. When change happens in our life, just like having our children or child move away, or when you the young adult are choosing to move away from mom and dad, we have to remember the importance of staying connected through memories, text messages, calls, emails, and visits. Change is not a “four letter word,” it is
just something that happens. And as with all change, even though we may not like it or agree with it, we know and accept that change happens, and it will always happen. It’s all about how we prepare our hearts and minds to deal with the change when it does occur. Mixed emotions and bittersweet moments are natural and awesome all at the same time. It’s when they occur that they tap into our senses and tug hard on our own hearts, letting us know that we are indeed alive and full of feeling. They say that gratitude is one of the healthiest of all human emotions. So instead of focusing on the things I will not miss about my daughter’s departure, I will focus on appreciating all the funny, exciting and challenging times she brought into my life. How about you? Does the bittersweet moment of loved ones moving out or moving out yourself lead you more towards gratitude and appreciation for all the times and memories you had together, or are you wrestling with the melancholy feelings and separation anxiety? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can enjoy the memories, stay in contact, and just let those bittersweet moments happen, it really will be a better than good week.

A brilliant spark that left a mark Robin Williams looked at me from the cover of a magazine this summer, and I had a very hard time looking back. Since I grocery shop almost every day, it happened more than once. It was a full frontal of his face, and he had a very small smile. The picture had a near-opposite effect on me, and I actually couldn’t look at it for more than a second or two. He said, “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” I don’t know enough — or much of anything — about depression or Parkinson’s disease, but I can tell you lots of things about alcoholism. Things depress the hell out of me, but I do not suffer from depression. That may not make sense, but I just don’t experience interior depression. I become depressed by external events, mostly. I cannot imagine bundling depression with the oncoming of Parkinson’s disease with alcoholism with Robin’s phenomenal instincts for observations, for improvisational humor, and
for intense acting. Time after time, his liquid mind amazed me, but generally not in the performances that he was best known for. I never watched “Mork and Mindy,” and didn’t particularly care for “Mrs. Doubtfire.” Obviously he was stunning in “Good Will Hunting,” but I always wince at all of the profanity in the film. I prefer “One Hour Photo” to “Good Morning, Vietnam.” The performances I liked best were the unscripted ones, when he would walk across the stage and shake David
Letterman’s hand, and proceed to take me some place that was unbelievably believable. It was non-stop, too. I would always ask myself, “How did he do that? How did he get that way?” I have read about his background, but a remarkable background is not always a guarantee that brilliance will follow. I wondered what he was like at home. Was he “on” only when he was on? Or was he on all of the time? The World Health Organization estimates that 121 million people worldwide suffer from some form of depression. Anyway, the cover photo saddened me. But I kind of understood why he did what he did. In commentaries since his death, I have heard over and over that if we know someone who suffers from depression — or alcoholism — that you have a near responsibility to help them, or get them some help. It’s easier said than done. Marshall continues on Page 9

Audience spellbound by climber’s story Jim Davidson pays inspiring visit to Wildlife Experience By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com With the protagonist telling a first-hand account of survival, the outcome was clear. Yet the audience hung on Jim Davidson’s every word. The mountain climber turned bestselling author shared his gripping tale of resilience with a crowd of more than 100 interested listeners Aug. 22 at The Wildlife Experience. Now a motivational speaker, Davidson spoke about conquering a seemingly unconquerable goal, and how that experience has helped him show the way for others facing what they believe to be monumental obstacles. Then 29, Davidson was returning from the summit of Mt. Rainier in 1992 when he and his climbing partner, Mike Price, sunk into the soft snow and fell into an 80-foot crevasse. Davidson tried in vain to drive his ice axe into the soft snow to slow his accelerating descent into darkness, but he landed in a heap, with heavy, wet snow quickly piling on top of his legs, then his chest and higher. His backpack was wedged between the walls of the crevasse and, unable to get up, Davidson covered his head and created an air pocket, just as he had been taught. But the snow kept coming, piling over his ears and on top of his head until his surroundings went black and silent. “I began to realize maybe this is it,� Da-

Maybe Robin didn’t want help. Everyone is not a perfect candidate for Dr. Phil’s inevitable show-ending offer. This summer was a bunch of bumping bumper cars, wasn’t it? Those kids coming across the border, same-sex marriages, the World Cup, Ferguson,
vidson told the nervous crowd. “I actually thought about calming down and just accepting it.� But a voice in his head “pushed through the fear� and Davidson slowly dug his way out until he could see the slight silhouette of his hand overhead. He called for Price who answered with a pained groan. Minutes later, his breathing stopped, and Davidson tried with extreme difficulty to administer CPR from a partially-trapped position, but was unsuccessful. On the verge of hopelessness, Davidson laid his head on Price’s chest and sobbed. Davidson didn’t sugarcoat the predicament: the odds were stacked against him. His foot was numb and he was spitting up blood. He surveyed the crevasse, which “stretched like an alley between buildings,� and discovered that he had landed on a narrow ledge of snow. Underneath was more darkness, and the walls narrowed to an 8-inch gap. Stuck between the icy walls nearly 10 feet below was Davidson’s second axe, and he was forced to rappel down to retrieve it if he was going to have any chance of escaping the frozen tomb. Looking up, he saw that both ledges of the crevasse were guarded by overhangs. The task of climbing a near-vertical ice wall, alone with minimal gear, seemed insurmountable. Davidson animatedly went into great detail about the ability of human’s to summon the strength and will to survive. He pointed to a few important factors that helped drive him. Knowing it would be blindingly bright if he made it to the top, Davidson grabbed his sunglasses from his pack before beginning his ascent. He also
Mo., Mo’ne, here-we-go-again in the Middle East, and a man we all knew who took his life. I am not exactly sure why the magazine cover affected me the way it did. Sometimes life only gives (me) a few days of relief at a time before something shows up in the news that brings me back down again. That will never change. If you tend to think of Robin always being in motion, watch “One Hour Photo.�

put the keys for his and Price’s rental car in his pocket, and resolved to make use of them. For five hours, his muscles ached and screamed, but his determined conscience and thoughts of his family back home urged Davidson on. Veteran climbers in The Wildlife Experience audience visibly cringed when Davidson spoke about climbing up, only to rappel back down to retrieve the ice screws that suspended his body. He only had six of the screws — not nearly enough for an 80-foot climb — and it tripled the effort needed to climb out. Luckily, a ranger station was 1,200 feet
away over a small ridge when Davidson reached the open air and collapsed with exhaustion. Davidson recounted the tale in his book, “The Ledge,� which he signed for eager fans after his speaking engagement. The story has also been turned into an episode of the Discovery Channel series “I Shouldn’t Be Alive.� The most pressing question people have for Davidson these days: Does he still climb mountains? Not only did he return to difficult climbs five years later, he is now training to summit Mt. Everest in the spring.
There is a scene in Sy Parrish’s kitchen, when Robin, who had been fired earlier in the day, stands alone in his kitchen with a glass of water in his hand. He doesn’t move and the director holds the shot for almost 15 seconds. I am not the most positive, uplifting man you will ever know, and I know that. But I am a sentimental old piece of
crust, down deep somewhere, and I just wanted to write a small thank-you note to the man on the cover. Robin said, “In America they really do mythologize people when they die.�

that is why we made it our first choice. But we want to open in the fall of 2015.” Brannberg said JeffCo’s current board and administration has a similar philosophy, making it a logical option. “JeffCo is also aligned with our innovative approach to education, and they have adopted a policy of school choice,” she said. “It’s a very positive atmosphere for charters. So we went to JeffCo Public Schools. They rolled out the red carpet.” A Jefferson County site for the school has not yet been determined. Despite the likely construction in Jefferson County, Brannberg said students from DCSD and other districts still can attend the charter school. Plans still call for offering sixth through 12th grades for the 2015-16 academic year, with grade levels added in subsequent years to eventually include pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Brannberg and her husband Barry, who founded the STEM School that opened in August 2011, no longer are affiliated with the Highlands Ranch school. But they’re using what they learned through that and other endeavors to create Alexandria. “It’s not a replication of STEM,” Brannberg said. “This is brand-new. The whole focus is innovation. “We believe this is our capstone project. We’re taking all the information we learned and gleaned from the past 15 years in our experience with starting charter schools.” The school is named after Alexandria, Egypt, founded by Alexander the Great and once the largest and most prosperous city in the world. It was a magnet for scholars, scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, artists and historians. In addition to emphasizing the four major components of a STEM school — science, technology, engineering and math — the Alexandria School of Innovation will include the arts and athletics. That blending of art with the STEM subjects is known as STEAM.

Peyton plugs Gatorade in ad campaign
Keeping an eye on trains
Selection of works on display in Castle Rock By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com QRstorytelling Gallery in Castle Rock is featuring a one-man show of works by local photographer Ken Smith, who specializes in trains, vintage transportation and beautiful landscapes, as well as Americana. He said he would have 19 pieces exhibited and talked of his flexibility in helping a potential customer find just the right thing. If you wonder how it might look on your west wall, send him a picture of that wall, he’ll return it with the photo under consideration inset. He travels the country shooting trains, and learns the whereabouts of vintage engines and cars through a network of railroad buffs. “It’s an adrenaline rush to see a steam engine going by at 60 miles an hour,” he said. This photographer, who sold his first railroad photograph more than 30 years ago, shot “Classic Lines,” a Santa Fe engine, in Galveston, Texas and the one called “Steam in Castle Rock” is shot near the weathered Castle Rock Granary — with the Union Pacific No. 844 on the 150th anniversary of the UP. His first photo was of the train station in Hammond, Ind., where he was working for Sears. They asked employees to submit photos and a customer saw his and bought it. More sales followed and Sears gave him camera gear in exchange for an ongoing supply of prints to sell. His retail background has helped with a well-tuned sense of sales technique, he said. “People have to connect with the artist,” he says, so he makes a point of introducing himself and telling the story behind a photo, rather than gluing that story on the back of the print. He has moved to pursuing his photography full time. “I try not to travel more than three weeks a month,” he says. “And I take January off.” He participated in 27 shows in the past year — about one every other week — and travels to about eight states per year. Sometimes his wife and 6-yearold daughter travel with him — to the Tetons this summer, for example. “I also schedule pure photography time,” he adds, mentioning a plan to shoot fall colors in the San Juans.
IF YOU GO Smith’s photographs will be exhibited through Sept. 30 at QRstorytelling Gallery, which is located in the historic carriage house at 505 Second St. in Castle Rock, “just across the tracks.” Owner Lucia McConnell says she opened in 2013 in property owned by architect Dave Hieronymous, who has his office in the Philip S. Miller home, which he moved to the property. 303-947-6286.
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is upping his commercial cred by adding Gatorade to his growing list of product endorsements. Two new TV spots have been released under the tagline “Gatorade: Sweat It To Get It.” In each ad, a woman attempts to buy Gatorade at a convenience store, but the red-vested clerk deems these customers unworthy. In each scenario, the clerk tells the women that Gatorade is only for people who work out. Since he sees no sign of sweat, they don’t deserve the post-exercise drink. Manning plays the store manager, whom the clerk asks to clarify the store policy to each of the sweat-free gals. In one commercial, Manning grabs the Gatorade and hurls it across the store. “Go deep,” he says. In the second ad, the woman says it’s her birthday and she confesses that she’s buying the drink for a hangover. When Manningthe-manager comes to the clerk’s aid, the two challenge the birthday girl to perform a yoga position so she can sweat. Both ads are scary believable in a “Candid Camera” way. Manning plays a convincing manager, which could serve him well with his Papa John’s franchises.
Not just Labor Day weekend

Downtown Denver has the Taste of Colorado for Labor Day weekend, but there’s much more going on in other places (and mostly at other times). Here’s just a few options: Parker hosts the Smokin’ Brew BBQ Festival Aug. 29-Sept. 3. The Smokin’ Brew BBQ is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society and will be held at Parker Station, 19751 E. Mainstreet, beginning at 4 p.m. Aug. 29. The festivities will conclude with an awards ceremony at 5 p.m. Aug. 31. The Godfather of BBQ and star of TLC’s “BBQ Pitmasters,” Johnny Trigg, will be attending. It’s not Labor Day weekend, but the Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village is hosting the BMW Championship from Sept. 4-7 — also not Labor Day weekend — as part of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs. Many top players will be there, including PGA Championship and British Open champ Rory McElroy and five-time majors winner Phil Mickelson. Starting five days after Labor Day, historic downtown Castle Rock provides the perfect canvas for the 25th Annual Colorado Artfest on Sept. 6-7. The event runs 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 6 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 7. This community art festival highlights more than 160 exhibitors. Dogs will converge on the Pirates Cove Aquatic Park in Englewood for the Freedom Service Dogs of America pool plunge from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sept. 6. The pool is located at 1225 W. Belleview Ave. in Englewood.

The event will include a luncheon, runway fashion show, silent and live auctions and boutique shopping. The fashion show will highlight new and gently used designer and high quality fashions from Treasures on Park Street — the task force’s thrift store.
Tickets are $45 per person and reserved tables of eight are $400. Tickets can be purchased at Treasures on Park Street, 1638 Park St. in Castle Rock, and will be sold through Sept.5. No tickets will be sold at the door. Doors will open at 10 a.m. for boutique shopping and the silent auction. The fashion show and live auction will begin at noon. There will be time for additional shopping from 1-3 p.m. “Our fashions and jewelry are always remarkable,” said Suzanne Greene, executive director of the task force. “It’s a bargain shopper’s paradise.” The silent auction will offer more than 125 items, including gift baskets with food and drink, home décor, res-
taurant and event certificates, golf foursomes, one-of-akind artwork and travel packages. The task force provides food, clothing, rental, utility and other assistance to those in need in Douglas and Elbert counties. In 2013, the task force provided more than $1.1 million in emergency services to 14,740 people.

A new football frontier Numerous area schools change leagues, coaches By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com The remodeling is completed and a new landscape for south-metro area football teams will be displayed this season. More than a dozen of the south metro schools covered by Colorado Community Media will be competing in different leagues, and there are six new head coaches that will be making their debuts. Rod Dobbs takes over for John Vogt at Chaparral; Gene Hill replaces Jeff Ketron at Douglas County; Mark Robinson supplants Darrel Gorham at Highlands Ranch; and Tyler Knoblock is the new mentor at
Heritage, succeeding Mike Griebel. Blair Hubbard moves from Faith Christian to Lutheran as Daryl Moe’s replacement. Jaron Cohen is the new Ponderosa coach after Jamie Woodruff stepped down. New league alignments find five-time and defending state champion Valor Christian, an independent the past two seasons, joining the Class 5A Centennial League. “We’re excited about the week in and week out grind,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman. “Most people would argue that it’s the best league in the state with just how teams have done over the last couple years. We’re getting into the mindset that we are going to play five league games that are going to be four-quarter games and I would guess one or two of them are going to end up in overtime. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us. We’re going to have to show up every night
GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER
in the league just to be in the game at the end of it. We’re excited to play teams with great history like Cherry Creek, Grandview and Cherokee Trail. And Eaglecrest and Overland are really growing their programs the last couple years.” Valor is top-ranked in the CHSAANow. com preseason poll and Cherry Creek is No. 2. Both schools have challenging nonleague schedules. “The Centennial League has been a football power for a long as I’ve coached,” said Bruins coach Dave Logan. “Now that you add a team like Valor, it just makes it even tougher.” The erstwhile Class 5A Continental League will be split into the Continental North and South with six additions. Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista, Regis Jesuit, Rock Canyon
The new football league alignments involving south metro teams: CENTENNIAL (5A): Cherry Creek, Valor Christian, Cherokee Trail, Eaglecrest, Overland, Grandview. CONTINENTAL NORTH (5A): Rock Canyon, Fruita Monument, Highlands Ranch, Mountain Vista, ThunderRidge, Regis Jesuit. CONTINENTAL SOUTH (5A): Castle View, Doherty, Fountain-Fort Carson, Legend, Chaparral, Douglas County. SOUTH METRO (5A): Arapahoe, Heritage, Gateway, Aurora Hinkley, Rangeview, Grand Junction, Smoky Hill. PLAINS (4A): Ponderosa, Littleton, Dakota Ridge, Green Mountain, J.K. Kennedy, Lincoln. COLORADO 7 (3A): Englewood, Lutheran, Elizabeth, Fort Lupton, Fort Morgan, Skyview, Vista Peak, Weld Central.

FOOTBALL TEAMS AT A GLANCE Highlands Ranch
COACH: Mark Robinson
2013 RECAP: The Falcons were 0-5 in the Continental
League and 2-8 overall. Highlands Ranch has won only four games in the past two seasons after six consecutive winning seasons.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Alex Keys, C, 6-0, 285; Connor Helbling, LB, 5-10, 210, Sr.; Killian Moran, OL, 5-8, 240, Sr.; Kellon Harlow, OL, 6-1, 215, Sr.; Tanner Minch, LB, 5-11, 205, Sr.; Ben Morgan, RB/DB, 5-10, 175, Sr.; Michael Forlenza, SB/DB, 5-9, 145, Jr.; Josh Hanson, OL, 6-3, 230, Jr. 2014 OUTLOOK: Robinson, the former Lakewood
coach, has introduced black jerseys to the Falcons repertoire and hopes to rebuild the Falcons football program. Morgan, a long jump champion, has 4.5 speed and will be featured in the offense while Harlow, with 4.6 speed in the 40-yard dash, will play on both sides of the ball.
6-3, 190, Sr.; Nick Schmalz, RB, 5-9, 205, Sr.; Brendan Ike, WR, 6-3, 195, Sr.; Matt Morris, OL, 6-0, 225, Sr.; Jake Propernick, OL, 5-10, 245, Sr.; Austin Orr, TE, 6-4, 220, Sr.; Christian Benavides, WR, 5-10, 175, Sr.; Aden Cesmat, OL, 6-2, 240, Sr.; Nick McKelvey, DE, 6-3, 235, Sr.; Preston Troxel, DT, 6-1, 245, Sr.; Luke Nelson, LB, 602m 220, Sr.; Christian Brady, 5-9, 185, Sr.; Kyle Pless, CB, 6-9, 175, Sr.; Kiel Brennen, S, 6-1, 185, Sr.; Jacob Hart, DD, 6-1, 230, Sr.
2014 OUTLOOK: The Golden Eagles had 12 starters
lose game time with injuries last season but myriad replacements got varsity experience. Vista returns seven starters on both offense and defense.
“With a new offense and a year of experience with the new
defense, it is an exciting time and expectations are high for a great season,” said Cash. “Our strength should be team experience and skill positions on offense with returning starters at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and three offensive linemen.”
However, Hommel and seven other starters return on offense. The Jaguars hope to continue the momentum built after a season-ending win over Northglenn.
Valor Christian
“We will need to find our defensive identity fast to compete
state championship and second in the Class 5A ranks. Valor was 13-1 with their only loss coming to a team from Bingham, Utah that was also last season’s state champion.
in the challenging Continental League North,” said Lamb. “We have made great strides in the offseason and we should be more a competitive team this year. I look forward to watching this team develop over the season, and hopefully, through hard work and dedication, we can make the playoffs this year.”
ThunderRidge
COACH: Joe Johnson
2013 RECAP: The Grizzlies were 4-1 in the Continental League, 11-2 overall and lost in the Class 5A semifinals.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Matt Stanley, LB/ FB, 6-1, 215, Sr.; Jonah Holden, OG/OC, 6-1, 235, Sr.; Ben Murray, OT, 6-3, 255, Sr.; Clay Johnson, LB, 6-0, 185, Sr.
“Learning a new offense and defense will be a challenge,” said Robinson. “Size may also be an issue. As the players buy in and learn a new system, we could be very competitive in our league this season.”
Rock Canyon
Mountain Vista
TOP RETURNING Players: Ryan Hommel, QB, 6-1, 190, Sr.; Jack Lamb, WR, 6-4, 185, Sr.; Justin Hunter, OL, 6-5, 225, Sr.; Trevor Howard, RB, 5-11, 185, Jr.; Dalton Lawrence, OL, 6-4, 260, Jr.
over the past three seasons and despite the loss of key personnel could play a role in the hunt for the Continental North title. For the first time in three seasons, Brody Westmoreland will not be at quarterback for ThunderRidge. He graduated along with the Grizzlies’ leading receiver, leading rusher, three outstanding offensive linemen and the team’s leading tackler.
2014 OUTLOOK: With only two starters returning,
“We will be very inexperienced in key spots,” admitted
COACH: Ric Cash
2013 RECAP: Vista was 1-4 in the Continental League and 3-7 overall.
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Brock Rubley, QB,
COACH: Brian Lamb
2013 RECAP: The Jaguars were 1-6 in the Pioneer League and 3-7 overall.
the defense has to be rebuilt after heavy graduation losses.
2014 OUTLOOK: ThunderRidge has won 30 games

COACH: Rod Sherman
2013 RECAP: The Eagles won their fifth consecutive
TOP RETURNING PLAYERS: Eric Lee Jr., DB/TB, 6-0, 190 Sr.; Dylan McCaffrey, S/QB, 6-4, 190, Soph.; Brian Dawkins Jr., DB, 5-8, 170, Sr.; Sid Turnbull, WR, 6-5, 215, Sr.; Brandon Biggs, DE, 6-4, 230, DE; Sebastian Sock, TE/DE, 6-5, 230, Sr.; Jordan Bostick, 6-0, 240, DL, Sr.; Stone Watson, TB, 6-0, 190, Sr.; Bubba Watkins, 6-0, 220, FB/LB, Sr.; Nate Whatmore, FB/LB, 5-10, 215, Sr.; Davis Clay, OL, 6-5, 290, Sr.; Brady Opp, OL/NG, 6-3, 260, Sr.; Dillon Reinkensmeyer, OL, 6-5, 275, Jr.; Brandon O’Donnell, WR, 5-10, 185, Sr. 2014 OUTLOOK: Valor opened the season topping Idaho Falls school Bonneville, 61-20 on the road on Aug. 22. They follow that with other non-league games against Pomona, Utah powerhouse Salt Lake East and Chandler (Ariz.) before beginning Centennial League play. The team will be strong again, although the offensive line may not be as dominating as in previous seasons.
“We have high expectations,” said Sherman. “We have a very difficult schedule ahead of us, I’d say the most difficult we’ve ever had. We’ll find out about ourselves. We’ll hit some adversity and we’ll see how we respond. We’re pretty excited about our team coming together. I really, really like this team.”

McKenna Moede sometimes has trouble explaining the postflight twists and flips involved in her vaulting routine. She has even more trouble telling schoolmates for whom and where she competes as a high school gymnast. Moede, a senior at Legend, competes mainly in the vault and beam for the Ponderosa gymnastics team. Like all four south metro girls gymnastics teams, Ponderosa is a co-op squad with gymnasts coming from Ponderosa, Legend, Chaparral, Douglas County, Castle View and SkyView Academy. “We don’t get a lot of recognition,” said Moede. “A lot of people from my school don’t even know we have a gymnastics team. I have to explain we have to go to Ponderosa and they’re like, `oh, well, that’s kind of like a rival school.’ So we don’t get as much support as we’d like. Not a lot of people from our school come to our meets.” However, it is still fun for Moede to have a high school team on which to compete. “It’s a little different but it’s a lot of fun, meeting a lot of girls from different schools,” she said. “It’s fun to come to practice and see a lot of new faces, get to go to meets together. It’s hard not to see them at school but there are seven from my school going over to Ponderosa. It’s fun to see them in the halls and drive over together. “They do include us at Legend when we have pep assemblies and it’s nice to be in them. When we have state meets, we get out of school early and we are recognized in the announcements.” Ponderosa was 10th at last year’s state meet. The team’s top returning gymnasts are seniors Cara Redalen and Moede. Both are three-time state qualifiers. Redalen was one of Ponderosa’ top floor exercise scorers all last season while Moede is a standout on the beam and vault. Junior Katie Steward was the Mustangs top all-around performer a year ago. “Our skill level is the highest we have had in 10 years,” said Ponderosa coach Lisa Fischer. “A talented sophomore class, led by Jordyn Miller and Calista Hill, is coming in seasoned with a year of high school competition under their belts and they are driven. … Our freshmen will be key contributors to the varsity this season. Our strongest events will be bars and floor.” Cherry Creek draws gymnasts from three schools including Grandview and Smoky Hill. The Bruins were third in the state meet last season but have two state runner-up finishes and two regional titles in the last four seasons. Cheri Way Steffes, a former Alabama All-American and University of Denver assistant, is the new Creek coach and has liked what she has seen early this season. “We have looked great,” said Steffes. “I’m going to stay positive. It’s my first year. I have been watching Creek gymnastics for 20 years, back in the days when I started coaching in Colorado.” Seniors Alaina Bolton, Rachel Wong and Mya Dodd, who attend Creek, and Grandview senior Elise Shalowitz will be the ringleaders for this year’s Bruins. Junior Avery Paxton and sophomore Katie Mancini return from last season and the Bruins also will have transfers, sophomore Lauren Walker and freshman Samantha Simon, on the team. “We have a lot of unsung heroes behind that lineup,” said Steffes. Rock Canyon draws gymnasts from Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon, Highlands Ranch and ThunderRidge. Last season three Jaguars qualified individually for the state meet. Second-year head coach Vickie Frenzer will have a team led by all-around senior captains Kayti Conger and Taylor Krason. Sophomore Natalie Smith is expected to be a standout as a floor specialist along with Mikayla Valentine on the beam. “Our numbers have increased dramatically from last year, allowing us to have both JV and varsity rosters which is very exciting for the program,” said Frenzer. “Rock Canyon has a strong, young team and I am excited to watch (the girls) continue to grow as young women and athletes through the upcoming season. They have a lot of talent and I can’t wait to see what they do with it.” At Heritage, first-year coach Megan Kling has five returning gymnasts and the Eagles, with student athletes coming from mainly Heritage, Arapahoe and Littleton, will also compete with a junior varsity team as well as a varsity at some meets this season. “The program is small but we always have girls with huge goals and great attitudes,” said Kling. “The girls drive me to always make the program bigger and better.”

GALLERY OF GAMES
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Despite your Aries penchant for wanting to tackle a problem head-on, you might want to take a little more time to see how a current situation develops. It could surprise you. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) TTaking on the role of peacemaker in a disruptive environment is a challenge. But you can do it. Just continue to have the same faith in yourself that so many others have in you.
& weekly horoscope
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Although your work schedule keeps you busy, you should make time to start preparing for that important upcoming family event you’ll want to celebrate in a special way. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Home is where the Moon Child wants to be early in the week. But by week’s end, a chance to travel raises her or his excitement level, and that of the lucky person who gets to go along.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Be careful not to be a copycat when dealing with someone who uses unfair or even unkind methods to reach a goal. As always, do the right thing the right way, and you’ll win in the end. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An offer could have many good things attached to it that are not apparent at first glance, including a chance to move into another career area. You might want to check out its possibilities. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) With responsibilities surging both in the workplace and in the home, it’s important to prioritize how you deal with them. Be patient. Pressures will begin to ease starting early next week. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A positive reaction to a suggestion could indicate that you’re on track for getting your message to the right people. Devote the weekend to catching up with the special people in your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A new attitude from those in charge could make things difficult for you unless you can accept the changes without feeling as if you’re being pressured into doing so. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Family matters once again dominate much of the week. But don’t neglect your workplace duties while you deal with them. An offer to help could come from a surprising source. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A difficult workplace situation begins to ease, but there still are matters that need to be dealt with before it’s fully resolved. There’s also a more positive turn in domestic relationships. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Don’t let yourself be rushed into making a decision about an intriguing financial arrangement. Asking questions and checking it out now could pay off in a big way later on. BORN THIS WEEK: You might have a tendency to be more than a bit judgmental, but others understand it comes from a warm, loving heart.
