FALL INTO FUN Hundreds of families enjoyed a dose of fall at Flat Acres Farm in Parker the weekend of Oct. 18 and 19, taking hayrides, winding through a corn maze, picking out pumpkins and getting the most out of the weather before it turns cold. It was a warm day Oct. 18, providing ideal conditions for playing in water features or reaching new heights on a swing. Flat Acres Farm, on Twenty Mile Road across from SuperTarget, has become the go-to place for families in the fall for good reason.

Two Douglas County School Board members have expressed public concern about the new Advanced Placement U.S. History course that sparked a firestorm in Jefferson County. Jim Geddes and Judi Reynolds said their interest is not about promoting or quashing a particular viewpoint, but giving students a balanced perspective on the past. Geddes wants to provide a balanced political view he said the new course is lacking. He wants to not only request the College Board revise the course, but provide students with an alternative accredited U.S. History class. “I believe the course is heavily flawed,” Geddes said. Geddes “When I read the tests, I see a leftist liberal indoctrination; I don’t approve of that. We must have a responsible academia, particularly when it comes to these kinds of courses. “Our purpose is not to tell young people what to think about what happened. It’s to Reynolds lay out the facts and tell them maybe various people’s views about what happened in a balanced fashion. And that course doesn’t do that; I’m highly concerned about that.” Geddes said he is “not interested in jetting up the flames that have occurred in JeffCo,” and Reynolds said she has no interest in removing or immediately altering the course. But both are frank about their concerns. Geddes brought some of his up during an Oct. 7 board of education work session. Reynolds has blogged about hers.

Blind man shares perils of rec trail Parker resident describes angry confrontations By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Imagine walking blind and suddenly being approached by an angry stranger who launches into a tirade about your position on the sidewalk. It’s a possibility for Lorenzo Edwards nearly every day. The scenario has played out on the Cherry Creek Regional Trail approximately five times in the four years since Edwards moved from California to the Cottonwood subdivision on the north end of Parker. Edwards, who has macular degeneration and is almost completely blind, describes the fear and uncertainty in vivid detail. His sense of hearing and feel — more acute than the average person’s — go on high alert. “I had to start carrying this golf club with me,” he says, holding up a gleaming 6-iron. It’s all because he walks on the left side of
the path, against the normal grain of traffic. That’s what his guide dog, Taz, was trained to do. Edwards’s wife, Debra, said in one instance a large man on a bike approached her husband at a high rate of speed and slammed on his brakes, screeching his tires and stopping just in front of Edwards. He berated the 74-year-old over repeated explanations from Debra Edwards that her husband is blind. Other cyclists have zoomed within inches of Edwards and delivered sharp expletives. Things got so bad that Debra Edwards pleaded with the Town of Parker to place a sign along the trail that reads: “Blind person in area.” “It’s scary when he goes out by himself,” she said. “I worry about him.” Lorenzo Edwards uses the Cherry Creek trail 4-5 times per week. The vast majority of trail-users are friendly and have come to know Edwards, calling out a greeting as they pass each other. It’s those who lack the understanding of safety protocols for blind persons and Trail continues on Page 28

It’s an old story ... in every single item The small, faded railway label on the battered 1900s trunk resting on the worn floor of the antiques store bears the name of its once-upon-a-time owner: “For H.C. Stillman,” it says. “Pueblo. Value — 100.” Its brass hinges are tarnished, its leather straps stiff from age, its oakand-canvas sides scuffed from wear. Its story, too, is old, so forgotten it was a dying whisper — until Bill and Cindy Pierce uncovered the vintage piece in an acquaintance’s storage unit. “He was a music teacher at Central High in Pueblo in the ‘30s,” Cindy says of the name on the label. In those days, “they didn’t allow girls in orchestra or band, so he created an all-girls marching band — which I thought was totally cool.” It is. Totally cool. Just imagine H.C. Stillman’s courage in defying society’s notions, the difference he made for a group of musicplaying young girls, the path he paved for those who came after. “There’s a story inside the trunk,” Cindy says, the kind that connects you with history. “We’re going to look him up and see what we can find.” I happened to be browsing recently in Olde Time Antiques, one of several such stores on Pueblo’s historic Union Avenue, when Cindy and Bill — excited about their discovery — brought in the trunk. They rent space in the store to sell old treasures they find. The trunk’s label indicated its destination back to Pueblo on a train in June 1930, possibly, Cindy thought, from a marching band competition. As I listened, and looked around — at the dainty porcelain teacups that once graced a familiar table, the lace wedding
dress someone once wore for love, a deco cabinet that once stood in a family living room — the air suddenly seemed crowded by stories waiting to be heard, testaments to fragments of long-agos buried by the passage of time and the hurry of life. That glimpse into the past is what motivates antiquarians such as Cindy and Bill, and Gary Price, who helps man the counter, and Johnny Baayen, who owns the store. “I’m just fascinated by old things and disappointed by things that are new and wear out quickly,” Gary says. His gaze sweeps around the store. “Some of this stuff is over 100 years old. … We’ve become such a disposable society. I cherish things that last this long.” Cindy does, too. She loves old things so much she rarely buys new. Her Pyrex dishes and cooking utensils date back to the 1930s. She uses oldstyle watering cans in her garden. “I give them another life,” she says. Cindy and Bill have been collecting old things for at least 35 years from estate and garage sales and auctions. Bill likes to search for car parts and beer signs, Cindy for her dishes and utensils. Sometimes, they find unique treasures, such as the trunk, or the 100-year-old saddle, also sitting in the
store. “It’s pretty darn worn,” Cindy says. “But 100 years ago, you could see a guy riding around in that saddle. It makes you think … I just find it all fascinating.” The glimpse back in time can even hook some of today’s younger generations. Cindy recounts a conversation she overheard as a boy looked at a typewriter from the 1800s. “He asked his dad, `What is that?’ He had never seen a typewriter.” Or a rotary phone. Or cameras from the 1920s and ‘30s. “They just love them,” Cindy says of young people, with a laugh. “They’ve never seen anything like that. They pick up a camera and try to figure out how the picture was taken … and they’re just kind of in awe.” Most of the stories inside Olde Time Antiques are unknown, the objects brought in by dealers who simply aren’t familiar with their origins, proprietor Baayen says. “You can only imagine the history if you were only able to follow it back in time …” A walk among the thousands of pieces waiting for new life allows you to do just that: A 1930s metal toy squirt gun that probably still works. A worn, chocolate-brown R.T. Frazier saddle made by the famed Pueblo saddlery from the turn of the 20th century. Lawyers’ filing cabinets, nearly 100 years old. A cream-colored 1946 Belmont radio. The tag says it works. A vintage 50mm camera case. A wooden sewing machine table
from the late 1800s. A display case of knives that includes a pen knife, a Turkish Mauser bayonet and a Sudanese arm dagger. Even the two Pachinko machines, the 1960s Japanese-made pinball-type machines used where gambling was prohibited, and which in the end prove age is in the perception of the beholder. “I got those three, four weeks ago,” Baayen says. “I’m amazed at how many people come in and say how they played them.” Objects from the 1970s are particularly popular at the moment, he notes. “In my terms, that’s not really old,” Baayen says. But “young people, they love it — they say it’s so cool and it’s old.” H.C. Stillman’s trunk sold in just a few days for $125. The Pierces were unable to uncover any more of his story. But the sale — to an owner who appreciated the history — felt good. “It’s nice we can pass the story on,” Bill says, “keep the story alive.” The story in the trunk reminded me history is a living, breathing entity that accompanies us wherever we may be. And whether they are from yesterdays long ago or just being created today, the stories are ours. Let’s try not to lose them.

Group brainstorms school solutions Meeting focuses on better district accountability By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Community members, many of whom said they feel inspired by the recent outcry against Jefferson County School Board actions, met Oct. 14 to talk about increasing the Douglas County School District’s public accountability. About 40 people gathered at Parker’s PACE Center for a two-hour community forum. “I feel like Jeffco’s given us some new opportunity,” said former school board candidate Julie Keim, who was among the meeting’s five panelists. “They have come together as a community and brought the attention to what’s happening in their schools. We need to all start working together. We’ve been stopped a little too much in Douglas County and no more. It’s time.” Former teacher and meeting leader Gary Colley formed the Community Accountability Committee for DCSD in late 2013 to work with the board on education issues. “We have to get ahead of the game in terms of what’s happening in Douglas County,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with having differing views. What’s wrong is when you expect your view to stand for the whole county.” Colley, who has spoken about his concerns at almost every board meeting for several years, invited four board members to attend the Oct. 14 meeting; none came and Colley said only board member Judi Reynolds responded to his invitation, saying she had a conflict. Five Douglas County women who launched groups or took legal action in response to DCSD issues spoke to the audience, and then helped lead breakout sessions. The full group reassembled to present their suggestions for addressing some concerns about the district. “We have to restore trust in this district,” said Laura Mutton, president of the nonprofit Strong Schools Coalition. “That means the board of education needs to empower the district accountability committee and listen to the concerns being brought up.” One session focused on teacher and staff concerns. “We discussed a lot of mistrust,” said Cherie Garcia, who launched the SPEAK for DCSD Facebook page. “There are concerns with teachers and staff (who) didn’t feel comfortable sometimes with HR or within their own building voicing their concerns about their schools and environment.” Garcia also said teachers are concerned about the time required to document their self-evaluations, which feed into the ratings that determine pay. “When our teachers and staff are busy doing their eportfolios, trying to hit that moving target and so concerned
Teachers and staff listed concerns about the Douglas County School District during a roundtable session at the Oct. 14 forum.
Participants at the Oct. 14 Community Accountability Committee’s community forum included fall 2013 Douglas County school board candidates Barbara Chase, left, and Julie Keim, right. Photos by Jane Reuter about that, they’re not spending time on our kids,” she said. Garcia also suggested forming a teacher and staff community advisory group. “I think it’s time to take back control of our schools to help our teachers,” she said, “to help our teachers stand up and say, ‘This isn’t right.’” Colley plans to host another forum in the near future.

Nanci & Steve Trevino FUNERAL READINGS While it is usually incumbent upon a family member or friend to speak before the gathering of mourners at a funeral service, not everyone has the ability to speak heartfelt words in public. It is difficult enough for most people to stand and talk in front of others, and it is not easy for all people to translate their strong feelings and emotions into words. For those who can muster the words and deliver them comfortably, a “eulogy” up to fifteen minutes long that offers testimony and acknowledgment of the deceased’s life is most welcome. Others may feel more comfortable offering a shorter “tribute,” which is a less formal personal reflection that often includes personal memories and humorous stories.

Effort promotes safe driving for teens Parent involvement, progressive skills emphasized By Christy Steadman
csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com While Oct. 19-25 is national Teen Driver Safety Week, experts say every week should be dedicated to making better drivers out of young people. “We’re working with teen drivers all the time,” said Ben Baron, owner of DriveSafe Driving School, which has several locations across the Denver metro area, including one in Highlands Ranch. “All 52 weeks are Teen Driver Safety Week.” A Colorado Department of Transportation news release states that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teenagers. In 2012, 859 teen drivers died across the nation in crashes. For the second year in a row, CDOT is teaming up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to promote the “5 to Drive” campaign during Teen Driver Safety Week. Only about 25 percent of parents have serious talks with their children about safe driving, the CDOT news release states. The “5 to Drive” effort is designed to help parents talk to their teens about the issue. “Teens might be gaining some independence (but) they still need rules and restrictions, and believe it or not, parents,” said Darrell Lingk, director of the Office of Transportation Safety at CDOT. “They’ll listen to you.” DriveSafe schools also emphasize the im-
portance for parents to be involved with their teen’s driving education. “It’s about developing a skill,” Baron said. “It’s important for parents not to forget that for a new driver, driving is a new skill.” The “5 to Drive” campaign addresses the “five most dangerous and deadly behaviors for teen drivers,” the CDOT release states. There are five important rules addressing these behaviors: • No drinking and driving. • Wear you seat belt. • No texting or talking on the cell phone while driving. • Don’t speed. • No more than one passenger at a time. Following these rules while driving is “good advice for all drivers, not just teens,” Baron said, with the exception of not having more than one passenger at a time for experienced, adult drivers. “Ultimately, it’s distracted driving that causes accidents,” he said. Distracted driving is not limited to what is listed in the “5 to Drive” campaign, Baron said, and can include everything from changing the radio station to putting on make-up in the car. As well as physical distractions, there are mental distractions a person can encounter while driving, Baron said. Things a person thinks about — something negative that happened at school or work, or being extremely happy about something — are mental distractions. “Most adults have been driving for so long that they can factor that in,” Baron said, but the “ups and downs” that teens experience on a daily basis can create a lot of distractions. The CDOT news release states that “texting and driving has become a national epidemic,
A student driver practices driving at the Highlands Ranch DriveSafe Driving School. Teen Driver Safety Week is recognized nationally Oct. 19-25. Photo by Christy Steadman and teens are the worst offenders.” It’s not only unsafe, but in Colorado, all cell phone use — talking, texting, surfing the web — is illegal for those under 18 years old while driving. Texting behind the wheel is also against the law for adults, who are allowed to talk and drive. According to distraction.gov, texting involves manual, visual and cognitive distraction simultaneously. A person’s eyes, on average, are taken off the road for about five seconds while texting. “At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field, blindfolded,” the website states. DriveSafe schools focus on starting slow — most students begin their driving education
in the classroom, Baron said — and building skills progressively. “You can learn to pass a test, but that (alone) doesn’t make you a safe driver,” Baron said. “It just means you know the rules.” In urban areas, a teenager must have six hours driving experience with an instructor before they can earn their driver’s license, Baron said. At DriveSafe, students receive three twohour drives, said DriveSafe Behind the Wheel instructor Kevin Knight. The drives are done on different routes and areas. Students start off by practicing in a parking lot, emphasizing the importance of checking Driving continues on Page 6

County fuel station set for landfill site Cleanup slated for Parker location before construction By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County commissioners approved a project at their Oct.14 meeting that will transform a former landfill site into a fueling and service station for county maintenance vehicles. The Parker Road and Bridge Facility, located at 9040 Tammy Lane in Parker, was constructed in 1998-1999 and has received only minor improvements in the past 16 years. The southern portion of the site was once used as a landfill for the Town of Parker in the 1970s.

The purpose of this project is to update and improve outdated and inadequate facilities. The improved facilities will serve Douglas County Maintenance Districts 1 and 4, providing a place from which all maintenance activity in northern Douglas County will be based. The Facilities, Fleet and Emergency Support Services Department contracted with ERO Resources Corp., a consultant in natural resources and the environment, to produce an environmental assessment of the landfill site in June. ERO was asked to determine the extent of the trash in the subsurface as well as assessing the subsurface conditions and to assess how the landfill may have adversely affected the soil and soil vapor conditions on the property, which could be dangerous with the addition of the fueling station. ERO found that the original site of the
landfill, which is the location designated for the installation of underground fuel tanks, a fuel station island and car/truck wash, has detected methane gas levels above the upper explosive limit of 15 percent in both vapor points. The elevated methane levels, lack of oxygen and elevated levels of carbon dioxide indicate that decomposition of organic materials in the trash continues to occur. “We did ask ERO, the environmental company, to take a look at the rest of the site and there is no reason to suspect that landfill material is located to the north or in other areas of the property,” said Victoria Starkey, director of the Facilities, Fleet and Emergency Support Services Department. Douglas County solicited quotes for the removal of the landfill materials. A scope of work was developed to include
excavation, hauling and disposal of approximately 20,000 cubic yards of domestic trash, then backfilling the excavated hole in accordance with federal, state and local requirements. Four firms that specialize in environmental remediation were contacted to submit bids. Based on price, the county awarded the contract to Hudspeth & Associates for $1.27 million. “I think when we look at our responsibilities as government, this is not only the prudent thing to do to look at cleaning this area up, but the site is also essential for our public works operation,” Commissioner Roger Partridge said. “I certainly support (the project), and in the eyes of public safety I think we should really go aggressive on this site and mitigate all potential and future challenges.”
town on one-way streets and awareness of pedestrians. The third lesson will usually entail some mountain driving, Knight said. “They learn proper, safe habits that they will use for the rest of their life,” he said. The Graduated Driver Licensing laws
“allow young drivers to safely gain driving experience before obtaining full driving privileges,” states the Governors Highway Safety Association on Colorado laws. Generally, three stages are followed: the learner stage, which is supervised driving, cumulative with a driving test; the intermediate stage, which limits unsupervised driving in high-risk situations; and the full-privilege stage, which is when a standard driver’s license is earned. In order to receive a driver’s license, a teen is required to have 50 hours logged driving experience, Baron said, which is gained in the learner stage. But he believes 50 hours is the “bare minimum.” “You can’t really produce a good driver,” he said. “It takes 100 hours or more.”
While still too high, the number of teen deaths from car accidents is improving compared to 15 years ago, Baron said. “Many factors have contributed to safer drivers,” he said, “despite there being more drivers on the road.” Safer vehicle manufacturing, better driving education laws and higher standards for driving instruction all play a part in creating safer drivers, he said. Required comprehensive driver’s education courses teach teens the minimum standards to know how to safely operate a motor vehicle, Baron said. Parents should also take their teen’s driving education very seriously. “Everybody benefits,” he said. “All of society benefits because there’s safer drivers on the road.”

‘Two steps back’ gives room for running start You know the saying, “One step forward and two steps back,” right? And sometimes it may even be, “One step forward and three or four steps back.” Many of us have endeavored to improve our life in some capacity. You too may have experienced this forward-then-backward type of result. People trying to lose weight may become very energized about their diet and exercise plan, and they just might maintain a consistent routine for the first few days or maybe even the first week. And then as life happens, workloads increase, and personal issues surface, we wind up finding every excuse to drop our consistent behaviors, exercise routines and diet commitments and end up even further back then when we first began. Sound familiar? It’s like the sales professional who has the responsibility for consistently generating new business by selling to new customers. Sometimes as sales people we get fired up about the potential to earn more money through acquiring new customers. So we invest the time necessary to build up our business. We make calls, attend networking events, visit prospects, and ask for referrals. And we do this consistently for a brief period of time and experience either the near-term benefits of our behaviors or quickly get frustrated with rejection and therefore revert to doing “busy work” instead of productive sales work. And
one step forward and two steps back in the world of selling is a recipe for disaster, or at the least, a loss or reduction of income. My experience with business owners and managers is that many cycle through the same lack of consistent behaviors or modeling of consistent leadership characteristics. For a week or maybe for a month or two the focus is on the showroom being immaculate, positive feedback is shared, coaching in areas that need development takes place, and we inspect what we expect. The danger in the one step forward and two steps back for business owners and managers is that when we fall two steps back, we take our employees with us. And once that happens we have to work much harder to get the team back on track. And the same things happen in our personal relationships too, right? Today we give hugs, love on each other, speak kindly, and show gratitude and appreciation. Maybe we even do this for a few days or weeks. Then the
Time has come to talk about time Time waits for no one, unless you have a humdinger of a hangover, and then it goes on and on. It stands still. At other times, time wears winged sandals, like that flower delivery guy. Actually his name is Mercury Man. Mercury Man has some Denver in him. According to Wikipedia, “On Aug. 18, 1910, 15 American florists led by John Valentine, a Denver lawyer and floral company owner, agreed to serve each other’s out-of-town customers by exchanging orders via telegraph, and they called their organization the Florists’ Telegraph Delivery (FTD).” I don’t know which one of them came up with the idea of representing the company with the god Mercury, but it was ingenious. It made an impression on me long before I ever started to order flowers for anyone. Maybe it was because I ran track, and he looked like he might have been a track star too. I set a school record that will never be broken. It’s not that impressive: They just don’t run the race (220) anymore. We used to compare our times after meets, and if we improved, we improved by splits of seconds. And then we would go to an Ameri-
can history class, and it seemed like it took an hour for 10 minutes to go by. I ran out of time on an algebra test, and guessed the answers, and I was right. But I was penalized for not showing my work. I still don’t know how I did it. If one train leaves the station at 8 o’clock going 50 mph and another train leaves the station without enough dinner rolls for everyone, what time would a third train have to leave the station with rolls for everyone on the second train? Time is very important in track, unless you are a pole vaulter. My favorite pole vaulter — ever — is a Texas high school girl named Charlotte Brown. She finished fourth in the state Marshall continues on Page 9
flowers stop coming, the notes don’t get written, the hugs are fewer and farther between, car doors stop being opened, and handholding and gentle and subtle touches seem to disappear. So the one step forward and three or four steps back leads to a breakdown in our relationships, and repairing the damage and the resentment could take months or even years to fix. So the answer isn’t perfection. We will never be perfect in every single thing that we do. The answer is consistency and understanding that we are the ones who can control the consistency of our behaviors that will lead us to the results that we truly desire in every aspect of our lives. Forget perfection, strive for excellence and make the commitment to consistency, and then watch as you take yourself and your family or your team five steps forward. How would a commitment to consistency change or shape your life or business? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we get past the one step forward and two steps back roadblocks of life, we will consistently have and enjoy a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Make a New School Year’s Resolution:
As a teacher at Colorado Connections Academy, I recognize the vital role that parents play in their child’s education. From my experience, students who have academic reinforcement and support in the home simply have a better relationship with learning and school. I also know how difficult it can be to carve out that time at home — between work, family schedules, extracurricular activities, even making dinner. Busy parents should know that even small, simple steps to become more engaged with their child’s studies can make a world of difference. With a new school year just beginning, I encourage parents to make a New (School) Year’s Resolution: become more involved with your child’s education. Simple things, such as discussing the school day over dinner or reading together, can go a long way in helping children learn new skills and reinforce concepts. Challenging children to a game of Scrabble, completing Sudoku puzzles together, or even visiting local museums are also great ways to help spark interest and connect education to daily life. But being involved is not just about enriching studies, it is also about being aware of the child’s academic journey

Safety is school October haunting district’s top priority is no sure thing In the Douglas County School District, safety is our number one priority. As both a parent and a member of the board of education, I want our schools to be as safe as possible. Unfortunately, there are far too many horrific examples of school violence across the nation. These serve as a reminder that on the topic of safety, we must remain vigilant. The DCSD Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a new, threeyear strategic plan that names safety as one of our four priorities — along with choice, world-class education, and system performance. For those of us concerned about safety, this means that DCSD will continuously review, implement, and refine both the physical safety of our facilities and the psychological safety of our students and staff. To date, DCSD has created a scaffolding approach to the safety of our school buildings, creating multiple layers of protections. For instance, last year, in addition to making building safety improvements, the district launched several innovative programs that significantly increased the presence of law enforcement in our schools. On the physical safety side, police officers have access to district Wi-Fi and routinely file their reports from our school parking lots. Officers are also invited and often have lunch with our students, who look forward to seeing their special friends. The innovative DCSD

meet this year, and cleared 11 feet. I trip over the dog. Charlotte depends upon an electronic signal with a beeper to tell her when it’s time to jump. Charlotte is blind. I dare you to try to get through the YouTube about her without getting choked up. I like baseball. There are innings, not quarters and halves. An inning might last four or five minutes, or 45 minutes. The time it takes to play an entire baseball season is imposing. The season starts in April, and they are still playing in November. Conceivably, you could conceive a baby on Opening Day, and the kid would be around for the seventh game of the World Series. We all get two years: One to the left of the dash, and one to the right of the dash. My father’s years were 1919-2008. I will never forget the number to the right of his dash. My father lived a long time.

and being responsive. If a child appears to be struggling in school, parents should not wait — they should contact the teacher and talk about ways in which the teacher can help. If a child has done well on a particular assignment or grasps an espe-
School Marshall Program has provided a law enforcement presence at all of our elementary schools. At the secondary level, armed School Resource Officers maintain an on-site presence that allows for quick response to any situation. DCSD has also launched a psychological safety initiative that seeks to improve wellness and builds a foundation for prevention, intervention, mental health, security and crisis preparedness. Finally, I want to recognize the incredible partnerships that make the DCSD plan a model for the nation. I know our partners in law enforcement and mental health play a vital role in keeping our students and schools safe. We can’t thank them enough. I recognize we can always do more to protect our children. As we anticipate improved funding, I hope to see us provide an even greater law enforcement presence in every DCSD school.

It takes a couple of hours to write a column. Then I leave it alone, sometimes overnight, and sometimes for a few days. I read it, reread it, revise it, and sometimes I delete it. Directors play around with time all of the time with devices like flashbacks and flash forwards. Some people are habitually — even addictively — late. I am always early. My dog is aging differently than I am, and I don’t like it. If your son is 10, he’s a kid. If your dog is 10, his clock is ticking. Jennifer said she would be here between 6 and 6:30 two Fridays ago. We had an 8:33 a.m. flight to Los Angeles the next day. The game between UCLA and Oregon in the Rose Bowl — we were there — started at 12:30 p.m. I don’t think college football is a waste of time. Besides, as Bertrand Russell said, “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”
October has traditionally been a spooky month, with several market busts landing on the 10th month of the year. However, even though the third-quarter earnings typically add volatility, on average, October is not the worst month of the year. It makes you wonder whether markets, when they defy logic, have a history to follow no matter what the facts are. It could almost appear as a haunting. October is plagued with volatility for many reasons: • The shift from the summer months, which are typically slow, toward the retail anticipation of the holiday season changes the focus of investors. • The start of the fourth quarter, which is signaling the end of the year is near. Investors may fear there is not enough time to improve or make a change that will significantly impact their annual returns. • Third-quarter reporting season begins. This is a crucial report in that it is the last one of 2014 and it looks back at the year so far, in addition to predicting what might occur in the remaining few months of the year. • The markets normally react with daily swings during earnings season based on which company or sectors are reporting and whether the news is good or bad. This particular year we have a few additional conditions that may cloud the stock market. • The stock market never likes uncertainty and mid-term elections are just around the corner. • Many countries in Europe are in recession, Russia is being sanctioned and China’s gross domestic product (GDP) is falling. This makes the U.S. one of the strongest economies in the world, which is being impacted by weaker countries. Investors are still haunted by the witch of October and many remain frustrated with paltry returns so far this year. This is a sensitive month, mainly due to the crashes of 1929, 1987 and 2008. There were also large declines in 1978, 1979, 1989 and 1997. Despite this dismal news, we often see substantial upswings during the first month of fall as well. We are also on the threshold of the strongest positive months on Wall Street, which historically have been from November
through April. Traditionally, October marks the end of the worst six months on the market, according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac. Therefore, investors both on the sidelines or committed to their strategy have some homework to do. Here are some positive things to consider: • The Federal Reserve has committed to keeping interest rates low for the time being. That can continue to fuel growth in the U.S. economy. • Inflation remains low, which helps create cash flow for consumers and businesses to save or invest more. • Retirement plan contribution limits remain high, which allows small investors to build a substantial nest egg with pre-tax dollars. • Commodities led by oil are down in price, which helps stretch the monthly budget. • The unemployment rate has fallen to 5.9 percent and the initial jobless claims are declining each month as well. • The second-quarter GDP was revised to 4.6 percent growth, the highest since the great recession. Keep in mind that market volatility can offer sale prices in certain asset classes. It is important to create your plan first so you can identify the best opportunities for your situation.

cially difficult concept, parents should acknowledge these achievements. Praise can go a long way in keeping a child interested and engaged in education. Although parents are pulled in many directions, becoming, and remaining, engaged with their child’s education is something to make time for — it is one of the best things parents can do to support their child in learning.

HAZMAT crews cleaned a gasoline spill in Cottonwood that caused major traffic back-ups near Parker Road and Cottonwood Drive. Up to 1,000 gallons of gasoline was spilled at the Everyday gas station at Cottonwood Drive and Bromley Lane around 4 p.m. Oct. 21 while a gas truck was filling the tanks, said Becky O’Guin, public information officer for South Metro Fire Rescue. Businesses were evacuated, police cordoned off the area
and Cottonwood Drive was shut down for more than an hour. No residents were evacuated, but some families did not have access to their home for more than an hour. “Clean-up is going to take a while,” O’Guin said an hour after the spill. Six crews, including a HAZMAT unit, responded to the scene. Approximately 25 firefighters helped contain the gasoline. The water supply was not threatened, said Ron Redd, manager of the Parker Water and Sanitation District. It’s unclear what caused the spill.

Governor’s race isn’t just John and Bob show Four other candidates add spice to electoral stew By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com
One candidate is the husband of a strip club owner who has been endorsed by Snoop Dogg. Another is a faith-driven ballet dancer. They make up half of the field of lesser-known gubernatorial candidates who are trying to shake up the two-party system while also putting some color back in Colorado politics. Either John Hickenlooper will win re-election on Nov. 4 or Bob Beauprez will take the seat from him. But don’t tell that to the four candidates in the race whose names are not Bob or John. “I can win and it’s going to send a shockwave through politics on the planet,” said Mike Dunafon. Dunafon is the mayor of Glendale who had a brief playing career with the Denver Broncos. He is married to Debbie Matthews, who owns Shotgun Willie’s strip club. Dunafon, who is running as an unaffiliated candidate, wants to reduce the size of government and believes that the two major parties have failed to rein in spending. He is critical of recent efforts aimed at boosting K-12 education performance. He brands “Orwellian” Common Core education testing measures as “common floor” methods. And he is against Amendment 68, a ballot measure # that would provide schools with tax revenue that would CN come as a result of allowing casino-style gaming at the TAKE-OUT ONLY REG. $4710 Arapahoe Park racetrack. • Full Rack Baby Back Ribs $ SAVE 12 • Whole BBQ Chicken “Why don’t we just pass prostitution and say we’re WITH THIS COUPON • 1/2 lb.

Libertarian candidate Matthew Hess doesn’t have hip-hop artists backing his campaign, but he is tapping into Dunafon’s passion for attracting voters who are fed up with the current two-party system. “I think they don’t feel represented anymore,” Hess said. “It continually comes up that there’s a feeling of disregard, almost a benign neglect from the two parties.” Hess, who grew up in Douglas County, is a systems administrator who said he has volunteered thousands of hours with the Boy Scouts of America. Hess doesn’t like government intrusion and he believes overregulation and high taxes slow economic growth. In other words, he is a classic Libertarian. “Some do think Libertarians are nuts, utopians and anarchists,” he said. “But others are starting to see that Libertarians are right. It’s based on common sense and it’s very logical and consistent.” Then there’s Harry Hempy. With a name like that, he is the perfect standard-bearer for the Green Party. “It fits,” Hempy said of his name. “I think it give me a 10 percent handicap over the other candidates. You won’t believe how many people ask me if that’s my real name.” Hempy, who lives in western Boulder County near Jamestown, is a retired IBM computer scientist. He is also a former Democrat who said he left the party out of frustration that its leaders weren’t taking the issue of campaign finance limits seriously. “I finally became convinced that they were not interested in taking money out of politics, so I said there’s no hope in this party, just like in the Republican Party,” Hempy said. Hempy would like to see a faster development of renewable energy resources and wants the government to stop handing out “special tax subsidies” for oil and gas companies. Hempy also wants government to do something about “the injustice of low pay and corporate control.” He believes that message resonates with voters who may be disillusioned with government and politics. “Sixty percent of Americans want to have a third major party and they don’t realize they’re in the majority for wanting that,” he said. The veteran candidate of the group is Paul Fiorino, an unaffiliated candidate who is making his third run for the governor’s office. “It’s just a matter of name recognition, that’s all it is,” Fiorino said of getting voters’ attention. “People see you on the ballot a couple of times and maybe they’ll take you seriously the third time.” Governor continues on Page 14

Churches face prospect of gay weddings Religious groups vary in practice By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Hours after the Supreme Court paved the way for gay marriage in more than a dozen states, including Colorado, the phones started ringing. Wedding coordinators, flower shops and cake-makers began preparing for the anticipated influx of ceremonies for gay couples. For many local churches, however, the subject of gay marriage is still something of a conundrum. Individual Episcopal churches in the state have the option to give “blessings” to same-sex relationships, but “at this point, they’re not authorized to offer the sacrament of marriage,” said the Rev. Rebecca Jones, spokeswoman for Robert O’Neill, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado. Each parish is encouraged to undertake a period

A
of “prayerful discernment” to decide whether to offer blessings, she said. Actual wedding ceremonies in Episcopal churches “will be a source of continued discussion,” Jones said. Church decisions on major social issues take place at conventions every three years, and the next one is scheduled for July 2015. Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch and Word of Life Christian Center in Lone Tree did not return calls for comment. Churches often follow the guidance of state and national committees that govern their respective denomination. Most of the major churches — Baptist, Mormon, Muslim and Catholic, among them — still do not allow gay marriage, but other denominations have changed their stance, including the United Church of Christ and the Evangelical Lutheran Church, according to the Pew Research Center. Some religious organizations are reassessing their positions on gay marriage, and earlier this month, comments made by Pope Francis suggested a change in tone for the Catholic Church. During an interview with a Jesuit journal in Rome, he said gays and lesbians “must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity.” The comments come on the heels of Pope Francis’ “Who am I to judge?” response to a reporter’s question about homosexuals. In June, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran church group in the United States, voted 559 to 451 in favor of allowing non-celibate gays to become ordained ministers. During its national meeting in 2005, delegates voted 503 to 490 against a measure

Fiorino believes the state has only scratched the surface when it comes to the possibilities of Amendment 64, which legalized recreational marijuana sales and use in Colorado. He would like to see the state take on a greater role in promoting cannabis commerce and said there is also great economic potential in the hemp industry. On education, Fiorino said he is frustrated that schools have cut back on art programs, the humanities and physical fitness. “We’re supposed to be the healthiest state and we

that would have allowed non-celibate gay ordination and the blessing of same-sex unions. Kerri Butler, owner of A Touch of Bliss, the largest wedding planning agency in Colorado, said she has helped plan numerous weddings for gay couples in non-denominational Christian churches and even was involved last year in the first same-sex ceremony at St. John’s Cathedral, an Episcopal church in Denver. Butler’s company also has helped organize numerous civil union ceremonies. “The actual ceremony we perform is all about love anyway,” she said. “It’s more about what the vows are going to say, just like any other couple.” While a few churches are tempering their opposition to gay marriage, some disenfranchised same-sex couples in Colorado choose to marry outdoors, with a friend or family member officiating the ceremony. Getting married in a church was “never an option” for Eugene Ebner, who was raised in a strict Christian household and church environment that criticized homosexuality. Ebner, who considers himself “spiritual” rather than religious, said his family was shocked when he came out as gay. They continued to love him but still have problems with gay marriage. Ebner’s 84-year-old father initially said he would not attend his son’s wedding, but recently changed his mind. “It was definitely an adjustment for him because of his generation, but when I told him I was getting married, he was very happy for me,” he said. “Love is love, and the more people see that, it takes them out of their (line of ) thinking.”
don’t even have a physical fitness standard,” he said. Fiorino was raised in Douglas County and is ballet dancer who has performed on stage from New York to Denver. In the early 1990s, Fiorino was affected by GuillainBarre syndrome, a disease where the body’s immune system attacks parts of the nervous system. Fiorino has fought through the disease, which can paralyze muscles, and has even released his own album, where he plays guitar and performs faith-inspired songs. Fiorino believes there are parallels in working as a performing artist and being a governor. “You need to bring chaos together to put on a performance,” he said. “That’s what an artistic director can do and that’s what a governor does.” “But, just being a ballet dancer in America takes some cojones, I think.”

Cops, fire agencies prepare for active shooter Drill simulates active shooter at Rocky Vista University in Parker By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Police in tactical gear converged on the school with their weapons drawn. Students exited quickly, some with their arms raised, some with their clothes soaked red. The horror sounds all too familiar, but fortunately in this case, it was an active-shooter training exercise involving nearly every law enforcement and fire agency in the south metro area. The Oct. 15 drill unfolded at Rocky Vista University, an osteopathic college on Chambers Road north of E-470 in Parker, and around 150 of its students participated, both as medics and innocent bystanders. Organizers strive to make the scenarios as real as possible. A handful of student volunteers posed as victims and were instructed to scream out in pain, replicating the chaos of an actual shooting scene. They were carried and loaded onto gurneys with what appeared to be gaping wounds. Others panicked and insisted on getting back into the school. Since the Arapahoe High School shooting that resulted in the deaths of two students and injuries to another last December, firstresponders more than ever are putting all of the right pieces in place for a swift and effective reaction. In particular, police and fire agencies are coordinating to establish uniform policies and levels of command when first arriving on scene. “It’s to make sure we’re all operating by the same rules,” said Becky O’Guin, public information officer for South Metro Fire Rescue. Interagency communications are a critical element of responding to an active shooter and those systems were tested Oct. 15. Although the drill took hours to execute and involved hundreds of personnel, it’s all in the name of improvement. Law enforcement agencies later dissect what went right and what went wrong to eliminate the potential of future tactical mistakes. The lessons learned often lead to procedural changes, said Dawn Cashman, public information officer for the Parker police. Rocky Vista’s medical students had not only a chance to practice a full-scale evacuation, but an opportunity to be in the thick of the action in triage tents. A few victims were

MAJOR RESPONSE: The agencies involved: Parker Police Department, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, South Metro Fire Rescue, U.S. Army, Colorado State Patrol, Auraria Police Department, Castle Rock Police Department, Arapahoe County Incident Management Team, Douglas County Incident Management Team, Littleton Fire Rescue, Lone Tree Police Department and Metropolitan Area Communications Center. outfitted with cut-suits, a wearable apparatus that simulates the feel of skin when making an incision. It also discharges a liquid that looks like blood — another element to lend some authenticity to the frenzied environment. The future doctors were quizzed on quick decision-making, and their professors let them know when they weren’t working fast enough. Dr. Cheryl Lovell, the president and CEO of Rocky Vista University, said the school was a willing participant in the large-scale emergency exercise, which took about 18 months to plan. “The fact that this happens on college campuses is sad but true,” she said. “An event like this allows us to prepare and react.”

South Metro marks fire chief change Baker takes over during Oct. 16 ceremony in Lone Tree Staff report The first change-of-command ceremony in the history of the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority marked the retirement of Chief Dan Qualman and the beginning of a new era under Bob Baker. The ceremony Oct. 16 at the Lone Tree Arts Center was steeped in more than 250 years of history, both in the fire service and the military. In the fire service, assuming command of the organization means taking responsibility
for the well-being, safety and protection of citizens living in the district and the members of the department. It also means a responsibility to ensure that first-responders are provided everything needed to perform their jobs to the best of their ability, and return home safely to their families. After 36 years in fire service, Qualman turned over the reins of leadership of the department to former Assistant Chief of Operations Bob Baker. Baker began his career at the Parker Fire Protection District as a firefighter in 1984 and served in several capacities since then including; engineer, lieutenant, shift commander and battalion chief. Baker has been a chief officer since 1990 and also served as Parker Fire District’s training chief from
1994 to 1997 and the administration chief from 2002 until 2004. He was instrumental in the consolidation of the Parker Fire District and South Metro Fire Rescue into an authority in 2008. Qualman will remain in an advisory role during the transition before officially retiring in January. The South Metro Fire Rescue Authority provides fire suppression, emergency medical, building protection, life-safety training and other specialized rescue operations and services to Parker, Castle Pines, Lone Tree, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Foxfield, Greenwood Village, and unincorporated portions of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties, including Louviers.

Udall looking to make late-game push Polls show Gardner holds lead over incumbent By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Right now, there are a few things for Mark Udall to worry about. Recent public polling has indicated a coalescing of majority support for the Democratic senator’s challenger to his re-election bid, Republican Congressman Cory Gardner. Then there’s the mocking Udall has received for his perceived over-emphasis of women’s issues this campaign, having been dubbed “Mark Uterus” along the way. And, aside from battling Gardner, Udall could also be fighting against a Republican wave that political analysts predict will cost Democrat-held seats nationwide come Nov. 4. So why shouldn’t Republicans be confident that Gardner will become the state’s next senator? Remember Michael Bennet? The Udall campaign is banking on the same, vaunted Democratic get-out-the-vote
machine that propelled Bennet to victory in a 2010 race against Ken Buck. In that race, Bennet was trailing in several polls leading up to Election Day, yet he managed to eke out a victory by a margin of less than 2 percent. And the Udall campaign believes this year’s ground game is even better than the one that was in place four years ago. “With our groundbreaking get-out-the-vote efforts and our army of volunteers, we will push it at the goal Gardner line,” said Udall campaign spokesman Chris Harris. “Our campaign was built for this moment.” But Republicans scoff at Democrats’ reliance on the use of playbook from four years ago, one they say has little to do with the candidate himself. “They say they will win, never because of Mark Udall himself, but it’s always because of tactics,” said Colorado Republican Party spokesman Owen Loftus. “Now they’re saying it’s because of the ground game. There comes a time that you do have to admit - it’s the candidate.”
Polls released last week show Gardner leading the race. A Quinnipiac University poll released on Oct. 16 shows Gardner with a 6 percentage point lead. A CNN/Opinion Research Center survey that was conducted at the same time has Gardner up 4 points. A handful of other recent polls have also shown Gardner up, although by slimmer margins. If the CNN poll is an accurate barometer of how election night will go, the Udall team’s biggest concern Udall would have to be lack of robust support he is getting from the group the senator has so strongly courted since the beginning of the campaign: Women. Udall has spent millions of advertising dollars hammering Gardner on issues like abortion and birth control, trying to paint Gardner’s conservative, pro-life beliefs as being outside the mainstream. But Republicans slam Udall’s “singleissue” campaign tactics as being offensive toward women. And the “Mark Uterus” monicker has become part of the online and
talking head political chatter in similar fashion to the “Both Ways Bob” label that was pinned on Bob Beauprez during the Republican’s failed 2006 gubernatorial bid. The CNN poll indicates Udall has just a 9 point lead over Gardner when it comes to the support of women voters. That’s not a good number for the Democrat, considering that the same poll shows Gardner’s lead among men is 19 points. “If that’s the case come Nov. 4, then Udall is toast,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst. Sondermann said Bennet needed every bit of the double-digit support he got from women four years ago and that if Udall cannot match Bennet’s performance, it’s going to be a long night for the incumbent. Sondermann also points out that Udall is seeking re-election during a political climate that does not appear to favor Democrats this cycle. President Barack Obama’s approval ratings are underwater and the consensus seems to be that Republicans will pick up seats in Congress this year. But Republicans in Congress have even worse approval numbers than the president. And Democrats have done well in Colorado election over the last several years.

Randy Weeks could handle the truth. In all the years that I have written column items about Denver Center Attractions productions, he never admonished me when I didn’t like or walked out on a particular play or musical at The Buell Theatre. But we weren’t done. The professional relationship I so valued was cut short when the DCPA president and Broadway executive director died Oct. 9 during a trip to London to attend the Independent Producers Network conference.

Pot shop eyed for TV
Though the lead of a new television pilot ordered for truTV is Denver marijuana dispensary owner Andy Williams, don’t expect him to be singing “Moon River.” Williams would more likely sing Abba’s “Money, Money, Money” in the reality series that centers on the family dynasty behind the Medicine Man Marijuana Dispensary at 4750 Nome St. truTV has ordered a pilot for “Medicine Man” (working title) with executive producer Tony Krantz (“24,” “Felicity”) with Wilshire Studios producing and Flame Ventures’ Drew Comins as co-executive producer. “Medicine Man” will focus on the Williams family dynasty and its unusual brand of business savvy. Medicine Man has a 40,000-square-foot industrial cultivation facility used for growing its award-winning product, employs 75 people across its various divisions, and is in construction on its first satellite outpost in nearby Aurora.

The Barn at Raccoon Creek, at 7301 W. Bowles Ave. near Littleton, celebrated its groundbreaking of an extensive project that includes the renovation of the historic red milking barn on the Grant family-owned Raccoon Creek property, and a series of new builds to accommodate Colorado’s booming destination wedding industry. In addition to officially breaking ground on the project, the event featured a raffle giveaway and site discounts to attendees, tours of the historic property and refreshments from Gigi’s Cupcakes. Littleton-area resident and bride-tobe Kaley Barrett won the raffle giveaway of one waived site fee (up to a value of $5,500) for her future wedding held at The Barn. Barrett and her fiance Stephen Sferra plan to be wed at The Barn next July. The event featured members of the Grant family, with former resident of the property Newell Grant serving as the family spokesperson. Parker continues on Page 19

Vega brings her new approach to Parker Musician describes sense of connectivity in album By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “Each of the 10 songs on my most recent release looks at the intersection of the physical world and the world of the spirit,” according to Suzanne Vega, who has started her own production company, Amanuensis Productions, for her latest studio recording. “A lot of my older albums , especially the second one, were about being solitary. This album has more a sense of connectivity; there is a different spirit.” Vega will appear at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 25 at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker, with her band to perform the new material plus ongoing favorites from her song catalog. Her songs reflect her cerebral quality. The title of her new release, “Tales

Other notable guests included Jefferson County Commissioners Faye Griffin, Casey Tighe and Donald Rosier, The Barn at Raccoon Creek sales director Abby Nurre, and Jordy Construction’s Sean Wardroup, Dan Martell, Edgar Quintero and Kristin Kyser. When renovation of The Barn is complete next May, it will be Denver’s only historic barn venue that can accommodate up to 200 guests for weddings and special events. The Barn at Raccoon Creek is a part of the original Grant Ranch property that dates back to 1878, when the first Democratic Gov. James B. Grant purchased the property to use as a gun and sporting club for family and friends. The property was later sold to a cattle rancher, and in 1933 was repurchased by the
from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles,” is drawn from a tarot card. “This one is about the body and the angels and demons that we fight within our bodies,” Vega said. Vega’s longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard, was producer on the new release. The pair often tour together and Vega writes about “road-testing” some of the new work. They had especially good response to a song called “I Never Wear White” which she chose to introduce before it was really finished, and then refine. She has spent the past few years writing and performing on the road, recording in Chicago, London, Prague, Los Angeles, New York City and Kyserike Station, an old train station in upstate New York. Leonard, David Bowie’s musical director for more than a decade, has worked with Vega since 2000. The album features her longtime bass player Mike Visceglia and drummer Doug Yowell. Strings were recorded in the Czech Republic with the Smikov Chamber Orchestra.

Lone Tree gets `Inspyred’ Oct. 18 marked the grand opening of Denver-based Inspyre Boutique’s third location. The new 2,000-square-foot boutique, at 8441 S.

The Lone Tree boutique is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. During the grand opening celebration, the first 41 people (a nod to the store’s address) in the door received a $25 gift certificate.

In addition to the title, the use of tarot metaphors is threaded throughout the album — “Fool’s Complaint” and “Portrait of the King of Wands,” for example. Vega became interested after reading “Introduction to Tarot” during a tour a few years ago and found it a way to look at one’s own life as well as at relationships with others. Her program will include a wide range of musical styles, from hip-hop to folk to Dylan/Stones guitar-driven songs and more.

Lemony visit won’t leave sour taste Popular author coming to Lone Tree Arts Center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the first place, Douglas County Libraries had him scheduled for Oct. 1. But due to “a series of unfortunate events” (his agent double-booked him for that date), he had to reschedule for Nov. 17 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Who? It’s wildly popular author Lemony Snicket (the pen name for San Francisco writer Daniel Handler), whose 13 books about the three orphaned Baudelaire children, “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” have sold millions of copies across the world, with their sad/droll tales of adventure. Snicket’s clever language, which includes big words
he takes time to define, appeals to the sense of humor of all but the most literal little person. And the Baudelaires’ breathtaking adventures keep them reading and seeking more. When I called Littleton’s Bemis Library to borrow a couple briefly, only #13 was on the shelf — plus “The Unauthorized Biography of Lemony Snicket,” which is perhaps best for a reader familiar with the “canon”! The books in the series are continually in circulation, the librarian said. Snicket has a new series based on his own childhood apprenticeship to the secret organization, the V.F.D., which appears in the “Unfortunate Events” series — and the third volume, “Shouldn’t You Be in School?” is just out. He will talk about the new book to his audience of kids and lucky adults who get to accompany them, play his accordion a bit and tell stories about himself and his world. A press release says that if Lemony Snicket meets up with an unfortunate incident — such as maiming or decapitation — Handler will appear in his stead. Tickets for the event cost $20 including a copy of the new book and $5 for admission only. The author will autograph books following the program.
IF YOU GO Lemony Snicket will appear at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree, at 6 p.m. on Nov. 17. Tickets cost $20 for those wanting a copy of “Shouldn’t You Be in School?” or $5 for admission only. Tickets at: douglascountylibraries.org. (Our previous experience with a visit by this delightful author was a sell-out — we’d recommend reserving a seat as soon as possible.)

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com About 500 runners sought the prize of a trip to state at the Oct. 16 Class 4A and Class 5A regional cross country meets held at D’Evelyn High School. Temperatures in the 70s and a slight breeze greeted the athletes as they gathered for the state qualifying competition. The five-kilometer course formed a figure 8 as runners took off from the starting line along clearly-marked paths. The route circled to the north, crossed back to the south near the starting line then circled further south and into the home stretch to the finish line. The site hosted the 13 teams competing in the Class 4A Region 1 meet as well as the 12 teams competing in the Class 5A Region 2 race. There were separate races for boys and for girls in 4A and in 5A. In both classifications, the top four teams and the top 15 runners qualified for state. That made it possible for runners on teams that didn’t finish in the top four to go to state as an individual. This year, the state cross country meet will be held Oct. 25 at the Penrose Center in Colorado Springs. During the Oct. 16 regionals, friends, families and teammates sought the best spot on the course to cheer on the runners. The course traced a figure-8 pattern through the open space area just west of D’Evelyn High School. Both the boys and the girls Cherry Creek teams are going to state as they won the regional titles. The Ponderosa boys team qualified for state by finishing fourth in the Class 4A regional race. Evergreen won the boys team title and Golden was second. Ponderosa was third with 101 points. The boys team state-qualifying finish was aided by the efforts of teammates

It was Kennedy GrandPre who was the first Mustang girl across the finish line as she finished 25th with a time of 21:36.
“It was a long race for me because I ran the Chicago Marathon Oct. 12 and I am still recovering from that race,” GrandPre said. “I like running because it keeps me in good physical condition for other sports I play like soccer plus I like the feeling I get when I run distances.”

Legend, Ponderosa get top-10 seeds Rock Canyon is No. 1 seed in 5A boys soccer playoffs By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com It might be good to pull out the dartboard or flip coins if anybody wants to determine the favorites in the Class 5A boys state soccer tournament. Continental League champion Rock Canyon (13-1-1) is on a 12-game winning streak and top-seeded in the tournament. The Jaguars open with an Oct. 23 game against No. 32 Grand Junction. “We played the top five teams in our league in our last five games,” said Rock Canyon coach Matt Sassali. “Every game felt like a playoff game. I’m really proud of the boys. We didn’t always have our best game but they found a way to win and that’s not an easy thing to do.” Other area teams among the top 10 seeds in Class 5A include No. 5 Mountain Vista, No. 6 Arapahoe and No. 10 Legend. Ponderosa is seeded No. 6 in Class 4A, while Littleton checks in at No. 8. “Last year we had more of a rough season,” explained Legend coach Jordan Ivey. “We were really young so we returned a lot of people. The boys really came together as a family. That has shown through how we are playing games. We took Rock Canyon down to the last few minutes (2-1 loss Oct. 15). “Rock Canyon by most people’s judgment is the No. 1 team in the state. In certain parts of that game we were dominating. I really believe the state playoffs are pretty wide open. A few years ago, Heritage from the No. 24 seed went all the way to the state cham-
pionship. A solid defense is really what you have to build on. If you can hold the other team out of the net and then be able to sneak one in to win.” Heritage coach Adam Buseck remembers 2011 when the Eagles advanced to the state championship game where Heritage lost 2-0 to Denver East. “We were seeded 24th out of 32 teams and we played in the finals against Denver East,” said Buseck. “It was a good year and we had a lot of guys with a lot of heart. We got a few upsets along the way. For boys soccer the first round games usually follow the seeds. After that first round it can really open up.” Heritage, seeded 14th, will host No. 19 Poudre in the opening round but Buseck feels that there is a trio of teams that have separated themselves. “As the season went on, you saw a little separation,” said Buseck. “You saw Rock Canyon and Smoky Hill separate, and Boulder as well. Those three teams really did pull away. I feel this year you did have a little more separation at the very top end. But four through 32 or four through the mid-20s you have a lot of competition that could go either way.” Buseck believes any of the five teams from the Continental League could wind up advancing a long way. “Coming out of the Continental League, it’s one of the most competitive soccer leagues in the state,” he said. “You feel like you can compete with any other team in the state.” Sassali insists his Rock Canyon team can play better than they have been despite their nearly two-month winning streak. “I don’t think these last few games, we’ve played our best,” he said. “We’ve had a little

Games have playoff implications Chaparral faces Castle View; Ponderosa plays Littleton Staff report There will be a lot at stake Oct. 24 when Chaparral and Castle View play in the Continental South season finale at Douglas County School District Stadium. Both teams are 2-2 in the league and 3-5 overall but the outcome of the game could have a big impact on the wildcard points standings which help determine the 32 teams advancing to the Nov. 1 first round of the Class 5A playoffs. Chaparral is currently 28th in the standings while the Sabercats are 34th and looking in from the outside. Castle View has 77.35 points with Boulder is in 32nd place with 78.125 points. Castle View improved their chances with a 31-28 overtime upset of Fountain Fort Carson on Oct. 16. Erik Taylor ran for 206 yards and three touchdowns and Castle View quarterback Chris Linnin also scored on a run. Parker Strahler drilled an 18-yard field goal in overtime for the winning margin. Fountain Fort Carson missed a field goal in overtime. Chaparral quarterback Kyle Gallup completed 27-of-42 passes for 317 yards and three scores but the Wolverines dropped a 35-21 decision to Doherty on Oct. 17. Cole Lehman
grabbed 14 of Gallup’s passes for 188 yards and three TDs. “Whoever wins get in and whoever loses goes home,” said Castle View coach Ryan Hollingshead. Also in the Continental South, Douglas County improved to 3-5 overall and 2-2 in league play and moved up to No. 37 in wildcard points with a 35-28 victory over Legend. The Huskies overcame a 21-0 deficit after one quarter of play to charge in front 28-21 after three quarters. Rope Ruel passed for two touchdowns and ran for another as JP Rubino racked up 206 yards and two scores on 35 carries. Rubino was the recipient of one of Ruel’s scoring passes, while Mitchel Staples hauled in the other. Douglas County closes out the season Oct. 23 at Doherty (7-1, 3-1 Continental South). The Spartans are No. 8 in the wildcard standings and a lock for the playoffs, but a win could get the Huskies in. Littleton and Ponderosa will clash in a battle for first place in the 4A Plains league on Oct. 24 at Sports Authority Stadium. Both teams are 3-0 in the league and 4-4 overall. Littleton rushed for 403 yards in a 42-34 conquest of Abraham Lincoln on Oct. 17. Tre Blake carried the ball 10 times for 215 yards and scored twice. Noah McGhee ran for 147 yards and three TDs for the Lions. Ponderosa downed Green Mountain, 24-17, as quarterback Nick Wilson ran for a touchdown and passed for another. James Maxie also had a TD gallop.

Raiders get big Continental League win Regis tops previously unbeaten Mountain Vista in football By Jim Benton
jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Regis Jesuit appears to be peaking with the Class 5A state playoffs on the horizon. Sixth-ranked Regis dominated the offensive and defensive line in its 35-7 win over No. 7 and previously unbeaten Mountain Vista in a Continental North first-place showdown at Lou Kellogg Stadium. The Raiders (7-1, 5-0) can wrap up the league title Oct. 25 in a game at Fruita Monument. Mountain Vista (7-1, 4-1) plays Highlands Ranch Oct. 24 in a 7 p.m. contest at Shea Stadium. First round games in the state playoffs will be played Nov. 1. Mountain Vista gained a total of 17 yards on its first four possessions as Regis
raced to a 21-0 lead. The Golden Eagles didn’t score until there was 5:02 remaining in the game and Jamison Withan ran it in from four yards out. Regis quarterback Matt Hougtaling threw three touchdown passes and Alec Barnes rushed for 136 yards and two scores for the Raiders as junior Drew Schlagel led the team’s defense with 15 total tackles. “The offensive and defensive lines have been practicing hard,” said Barnes. Mountain Vista coach Ric Cash agreed that the Raiders won the battles up front. “Early in the game they absolutely controlled the line of scrimmage when we were on offense and they wore down our defensive line because our defensive line spent too much time on the field,” he said. “We didn’t help them out offensively, just overall it became a game of possessions. They had the ball more than us, which put the stress on our defense. Those are the kind of things we have to learn from and grow from.”

Valor captures Class 4A softball title Ponderosa wins playoff opener, but then is eliminated with loss to Frederick By Jim Benton

Alexandria Kilponen pitched Valor Christian to the Class 4A softball championship but the freshman had plenty of help from her friends as the Eagles captured their first state championship in softball. Valor scored three runs in the top of the seventh to defeat previously unbeaten Frederick, 7-4, in the state title game Oct. 18 at Aurora Sports Park. Eagles’ coach Dave Atencio tabbed the 12 players on his roster the “Dirty Dozen” and Valor finished the season with two dozen wins and a 24-1 record. Kilponen, nicknamed “Ali Kat,” fanned
13 batters in Valor’s 3-1 win over 11-time state champion Erie in the semifinals and displayed plenty of composure in the title game. She allowed 11 hits but struck out seven Frederick batters and worked out of several jams thanks to some brilliant defensive plays by her teammates. “She’s as tough as an alley cat and that’s why I call her that,” explained Atencio. “She’s an unbelievable talent. She’s so poised for a 14-year-old kid. She is just a flat-out stud. The kid can flat out throw and I’m glad to have her for three more years.” In other Class 4A state tournament action, Ponderosa was a semifinalist in 2013 but the Mustangs couldn’t get past Frederick in the quarterfinals. Ponderosa (15-8) opened with a 2-1 win over Silver Creek as Ali Power fanned 17 batters but the Mustangs lost 4-1 to Frederick. In Class 5A, Legend and Chaparral lost in the first round.

Board has yet voiced public opinion on the new AP U.S. History course. Reynolds said her main concern is that the dramatically revised course was released too late for school officials to review, or even for teachers to prepare for teaching it. Political bias is a secondary issue, she said. “It was rolled out in a manner that didn’t give anyone time to review it, from state and local (boards) to teachers,” she said. “It’s part of our job to keep an eye on these things.” The College Board’s website said AP U.S. History teachers felt the original course required a breathless race through American history. The four-year redesign provides, “an indepth examination of American founding documents, the Constitution, and important leaders and citizens from American history,” according to the website, and encourages students to write to demonstrate their understanding. The course framework expanded from five to more than 80 pages, a change Reynolds said is “significant” and merited local review. “I think we need to watch it and see how it plays out for the course of this year,” she said. “I don’t know if there’s anything we can do locally at this point in the school year.” Geddes suggests a more aggressive plan of action. “One is that we tell the College Board in a nice but very firm way we need to see it changed,” he said. If the course remains in its current form, “I’d like to see us invite other universities to offer students Advanced Placement-type courses that are accredited.” Those could include the University of Colorado, Colorado Christian University, Arapahoe Community College or others. DCSD already has concurrent enrollment partnerships with ACC, CCU, Community College of Aurora, and Red Rocks Community College. “The optimal solution is to see a course with true integrity offered by the College Board,” he said. “But if they’re not going to do it, then I say we have to do something else because the course they are offering now is unacceptable.” Reynolds’ daughter is taking the course at a Douglas County high school and so far, she believes the teacher is providing a “balanced approach,” she said. “I feel pretty confident our teachers, especially our history teachers, are pretty sensitive to the fact that our community wants a balanced approach,” Reynolds said. Nevertheless, she shared some of Geddes’ content concerns. “There does seem to be some bias,” she said. “As a conservative, I do have a different view of some of our historical events than some of my liberal friends. I think discussions on those differences of opinion are good. (But) I want history taught in a manner where kids get the information and the facts and they draw their own conclusions. I’d like for it to be in as nonbiased a manner as possible.” Geddes also is a regent at the University of Colorado Boulder, and said his concerns about AP U.S. History dovetail with his longer-standing mission to politically balance the traditionally liberal college’s teaching staff. He would take the same approach to the staff at Michigan’s conservative Hillsdale College. “Would I love to see every kid come out of a college a conservative?” he said. “Hell yes, I’ll admit that because I think that’s what’s best for America. But I would never send my child to Hillsdale College (because) they don’t have a balanced faculty. “If I were in charge of Hillsdale, I would recruit some flaming liberals to come in and be part of each of those departments. I’d want to make sure I had the other side well represented.”

their guide dogs that stirred up trouble. It’s a violation of the American Disabilities Act to obstruct a guide dog in its duties. A post about the issue on the neighborhood social media site Nextdoor elicited a chorus of support for Edwards, who has incurred a number of problems over his life as his eyesight gradually faded to shadows. “The blind live in a society designed for the sighted, trying to live a normal life,” his wife posted. “Please help us educate the public on the rights of guide dogs and their handler.” Aside from the harness worn by Taz, a 3-year-old black lab, there are few indications that Edwards is blind, and some responses suggested a vest for Taz to serve as another warning to trail-users of his condition. Most of all, there was a call for patience and understanding.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF OCT 20 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You could be caught in a torrent of advice from well-meaning friends and colleagues this week. But remember, Lamb, you are at your best when you are your own inimitable self. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Expect strong efforts to get you to accept things as they are and not question them. But ignore all that and continue your inquiries until you’re sure you have all the answers you need. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Heavier than usual family and workplace duties compete for your time this week. Try to strike a balance so that you’re not overwhelmed by either. Pressures ease by week’s end. CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) It’s a good time for the Moon Child to show off your uniquely inspired approach to the culinary skills -- especially if they’re directed toward impressing someone special.

Government Legals PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the preliminary budgets for the County of Douglas and all its agencies, the Douglas County Law Enforcement Authority, Douglas County Woodmoor Mountain General Improvement District and the Douglas County Lincoln Station Local Improvement District No. 07-01 have been submitted to the Board of County Commissioners of Douglas County for the ensuing year 2015. The Board of County Commissioners will hold a public hearing to consider public comment on the preliminary budgets on October 28, 2014 beginning at 2:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible, in the Commission-
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You might be happy about the re-emergence of a long-deferred deal. But don’t pounce on it quite yet. Time can change things. Be sure the values you looked for before are still there. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Try to rein in your supercritical attitude, even if things aren’t being done quite as you would prefer. Remember: What you say now could create an awkward situation later on. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Although you can expect on-the-job cooperation from most of your colleagues this week, some people might insist on knowing more about your plans before they can accept them. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating another way to do things is commendable. But you could find some resistance this week from folks who would rather stick with the tried-and-true than try something new. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You usually can keep your aim focused on your goal. But you might need to make adjustments to cope with unsteadiness factors that could arise over the course of the week. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) News arrives about a projected move. Be prepared to deal with a series of possible shifts, including starting and finishing times, and how much the budget will actually cover. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A new relationship needs time to develop. Let things flow naturally. It could be a different story with a workplace situation, which might require faster and more focused attention. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Accept a compliment without trying to troll for any hidden reason beyond what was said. After all, don’t you deserve to be praised every now and then? Of course you do.
