Reform slate takes raceTough battle for schools ends with voters’ decisionStaff report

Candidates favoring the current direc-tion of the reform-oriented Douglas Coun-ty School Board won all four races, after months of heated electioneering on both sides.

Unofficial results released at 11 p.m. Election Day showed the closest race was in District E, where incumbent Doug

Benevento led challenger Bill Hodges 51.9 percent to 48.1 percent, with a margin of 3,615 votes separating them.

In District B, Jim Geddes led 52.6 per-cent to 47.4 percent over Barbra Chase.

In District D, Judi Reyn-olds held a 52 percent to 48 percent lead over Julie Keim.

In District G, incum-bent Meghann Silverthorn held a 53.5 percent lead over Ronda Scholting’s

46.5 percent.In each race, about

95,000 votes were counted, with a possibil-ity of a few thousand more remaining to be tallied.

Reynolds, who was at a vote-watch gathering at the Fowl Line sports bar in

Castle Rock, was looking forward to serv-ing her four-year term. “The majority of people like the way things are headed and want to see them implemented,” she said.

Benevento saw a mandate in the re-sults. “The voters elected a slate of candi-dates who have articulated a clear point of view of where it is we want to go. So we are going to move in that direction and talk to people and listen. Clearly there are a lot of voters who feel the other way and we need to understand that,” he said.

Rocky Vista shows support for student battling cancer

By Chris [email protected]

There were so many bald heads under Rocky Vista University’s roof, one could have easily mistaken it as a convention for the follically challenged.

Instead, it was a head-shaving event in support of Michelle Valentine, a student at the college of osteopathic medicine on Chambers Road north of E-470. Thou-sands of dollars were raised for the Susan G. Komen foundation, and the camarade-rie among the students was further solidi-fied Nov. 1.

Valentine, 37, was diagnosed with breast cancer in June. Her chemotherapy treatments have left her completely bald, but she rocks the look with confidence.

When the school wanted to organize a fundraising event, the head-shaving event was a natural choice. Valentine elected to have the money go specifically toward research aimed at helping breast cancer patients under 40, a population she says is underrepresented.

The second floor of the university, packed with supporters, buzzed with ex-citement, nervousness and the sound of clippers run by a handful of stylists from Floyd’s 99 Barbershop. Women lined up to get thin pink extensions in their hair and dozens of men waited to their locks chopped. Some know Valentine, and some don’t.

Christopher Gilsdorf, a second-year Rocky Vista student from Fort Collins, had his hair cut by Nester Bustos, a Floyd’s 99 stylist who participates in at least one community charity event per year. Gilsdorf, who says he knows Valentine “a

The BALD and the BEAUTIFUL

Water rates could rise in JanuaryDecision on increase expected by boardBy Chris [email protected]

Parker’s water users could see higher wa-ter and sewer rates starting in January.

The Parker Water and Sanitation Board of Directors was scheduled to consider a proposal Nov. 7 to raise water rates by 3.5 percent and sewer rates by 1.5 percent. A decision was expected during a meeting after the Parker Chronicle’s press deadline.

The 5 percent increase would add an av-erage of $2.56 to the monthly bill of a tier 1 residential customer. District manager Ron Redd said the rate hike is needed to cover the costs of new programs, including infra-structure needed for the district’s participa-tion in WISE, an agreement that will send an average of 1,200 acre-feet of recycled water to Parker annually from Denver and Aurora.

Additional money is also needed to fund operations at the water treatment plant un-der construction north of Rueter-Hess Res-ervoir, including more staff, chemicals and electricity. General inflation costs are also figured into the proposed increase, Redd said.

“No one likes their bills to go up, but I feel like we’ve done a good job of holding costs in line,” he said. “This is a new cost and we’re passing that cost along to our customers.”

Tracy Hutchins, one of five members of the Parker Water and Sanitation District board, said she is voting against the in-crease, partly because she says the district doesn’t have a detailed financial plan to go with its long-range master plan.

“We don’t have a good handle on it, and personally, I don’t think we should be raising rates until we have a handle on it,” Hutchins said, referring to the district’s fi-nancial future.

Redd acknowledged that the district needs to get a more rigid financial plan in place, saying “we’ve got a lot of work to do.” But he said the district must fund new programs approved by the board, including WISE, and obligations made by previous leadership, like the water treatment plant.

A Facebook page that’s not antisocial mediaSept. 22

… that was a really lovely thing you did today, giving flowers to the girls who weren’t asked to homecoming. … It was really good to see that someone cared enough to put some good hard effort into being a good person. For a lot of us it was the highlight of our day. … Thank you so much, really.

March 5

The other day when everyone in the west atrium pitched in to help the janitors clean up/stack chairs/fold tables? Ya. That was really cool.

If you scroll through the Facebook Com-pliments page of Lakewood High School, you’ll come across many more just like these.

“Positive words,” senior Olivia Ehret says, “have the power to change the com-munity.”

One could say that is her mantra and why, almost a year ago, she and a friend de-cided to duplicate the Compliments page she had stumbled upon on the University of Southern California website.

“Oh, gosh, I was entranced by it,” Olivia remembers. “I scrolled on it for two hours. I thought if it could be implemented on such a huge campus as USC, it definitely could at Lakewood.”

Compliments, after all, are just one more way of spreading a little kindness. But the accolade-filled Facebook pages also re-flect a positive use of social media in an age when it is often used as a tool for meanness and spitefulness.

Consider the recent suicide of a 12-year-old Florida girl, who investigators say killed herself after continued online harassment by two other girls, 12 and 14. There have been many other such cases reported. Fed-eral government studies report 52 percent of students have been cyberbullied and

25 percent repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet.

The faceless nature of social media makes it alarmingly easy to be unkind, to cause hurt without feeling or seeing the effects or repercussions. Although many describe social media as impersonal, it’s actually quite the opposite. Plenty of emo-tion flies across the networked miles — sadly, it’s often the hateful kind.

Which is what is so nice about a Com-pliments page: It puts the heart back into the words.

Oct. 30

We only recently talked, but you are an amazing person inside and out. I love how you aren’t afraid to be yourself, it is really inspiring! The nice things you say can make people’s day, like it did mine!

One of the first such uses of social me-dia occurred in October 2011 when a young man at Iowa City West High School created a Twitter Compliments account as a way to fight back against cyberbullying in the area. The account took off, tweeting more than 3,000 messages in three months.

Several other high schools followed, and then universities, including Columbia, Penn State and Brown, spurred the trend with Facebook pages that, for the most part, remain anonymous by asking users to

send compliments to an inbox from which administrators then tag the messages to the recipient’s News Feed. That’s how it’s done at Lakewood High School.

“It’s just a nice way for people’s days to be brightened,” Olivia says. “The beauty is in the mystery.”

Although the Lakewood page wasn’t started as a response to cyberbullying, Olivia believes it helps keep the negativ-ity and meanness at bay. In almost a year, there’s only been one comment she’s removed.

“I think we’d be a lot more positive and healthy society” if we said nicer things to each other, she says. “People would have better self-images of themselves and feel more open communication with other people. And maybe there would be less instances of bullying if people didn’t feel so isolated and lonely.”

March 12

Seeing this page makes me want to trans-fer to Lakewood as soon as possible. I’ve seen bullying all around at my school. There’s NO ONE that has the courage to compliment one other here. I appreciate how everyone treats each other well. …

There is an art to complimenting, though.

It must be sincere. It must be truthful. Otherwise, it loses the power to uplift and could do just the opposite, says Michael Karlson, a professor at the University of Denver’s graduate school of professional psychology. An insincere compliment makes you “wonder if that other person doesn’t respect you or know you.”

But a genuine one can work a little magic.

“It can activate a positive image of your-self,” Karlson says. “Sometimes, when we’re feeling depressed and incompetent, it’s a

reminder of who we usually are.”Olivia would agree.“A lot of people they say the compli-

ments have been posted at just the right time,” she says, because “they were having a rough time.”

March 13

To the girl in the bathroom who said I was pretty. … Thanks. I really needed that right then.

Olivia, quite wise at 17, has an idea about why we aren’t as kind as we could be — we’re afraid of the reaction, of what people might think of us.

“Society is kind of closed off in the sense that when we see something positive about someone we keep it to ourselves,” she says, “especially when it’s someone we don’t know that well.“

We need to take the leap. It’s not that difficult.

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak,” a Missionaries of Charities Sisters once said, “but their echoes are truly end-less.”

If we find we can’t say them, maybe we can write them.

Chamber names new president O� cial has led similar group in Norfolk, Neb. By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

After a three-month search, the Parker Chamber of Commerce has named its new president.

The 742-member organization an-nounced the hiring of Den-nis Houston, who will leave his position as president of the Norfolk (Neb.) Area Chamber of Commerce at the end of the month. He will take over as the Parker chamber president and chief executive offi cer Dec. 1.

Houston (pronounced How-ston) was among 48 applicants for the position, which was va-cated at the end of July when Dan Rodri-guez submitted a letter of resignation.

Interim president Jo Ann Frost, who will resume her duties as the chairwoman of the chamber board of directors, said the orga-nization is looking forward to refocusing on programming and membership growth and retention with a new leader in place.

“It’s been challenging with the transi-tion and putting things on hold until we got someone in place,” she said. “Our priority has been getting a president/CEO. It’s nice to be in this position now instead of feeling like we’re catching up all the time.”

The top selection from a narrowed-down fi eld of three candidates, Houston demon-strated the experience, dynamic personal-ity and professionalism the chamber was

seeking, Frost said. The board has a list of goals and will get

Houston’s feedback and input once he is settled.

“We’re anxious to see where he can take our chamber, as going into 2014 we have lots of exciting things going on,” she said. “We want to expand on programs that are just now taking shape.”

On a professional level, Houston says he is looking forward to learning about the challenges and opportunities in the busi-ness community. He is also eager to engage in strategic planning with Town of Parker offi cials, the school district and Douglas County.

“I’m looking forward to that collabora-tion so we can all make sure Parker grows in a positive way that we’re all proud of,” Houston said.

The Norfolk, Neb., area shares simi-larities with Parker because it’s a grow-ing community in a semi-rural area. The town of Norfolk has a population of about 25,000, but the service area contains about 125,000 people, Houston said. His experi-ence in working with different sectors — from home-based businesses to small re-tail shops to industrial companies —was a quality the search committee took notice of, Frost said.

After a weeks-long “listening tour” to learn the lay of the land, Houston wants to discuss with the board the chamber’s role in helping Parker achieve its goals.

On a personal level, the move to Colo-rado has been a long time coming. Houston visits Colorado about twice annually with his wife and two boys, and a permanent move has been one of the family’s objec-tives.

“The lifestyle is a big part of it for us,” Houston said.

Public notices to change; fines stay the sameFour of five ballot questions approvedBy Chris [email protected]

Four out of the five ballot questions posed to Parker voters passed on Election Night, allowing for minor modifications to the town charter.

Parker Town Council will now have ad-ditional ways to announce public meet-ings with the passing of 2K, 2L and 2N.

But ballot question 2J was defeated by more than 400 votes, while its companion question, 2M, passed by more than 500 votes in the Nov. 5 election. Questions 2J and 2M were meant to change language in the town charter dealing with municipal court penalties. 2M would have enabled town council to set fine amounts and jail terms by ordinance.

“The implication of the item that did not pass, which was 2J, is that council can-not expand the jurisdiction of the munici-pal court beyond one year imprisonment or a $1,000 fine,” town spokeswoman Elise Penington said.

State legislators changed the maximum penalty amount to adjust for inflation. The town was trying to be consistent with state law, but that won’t happen “until vot-ers approve the amendment at some point in the future,” she said.

Question 2M removes specific lan-guage from the charter referring to pun-ishments, fines and imprisonment, but the council is still bound by those limita-tions.

“Because the other one didn’t pass, they’re still limited,” Penington said.

Ballot questions 2K, 2L and 2N give town officials more flexibility in deciding how to announce public meetings, special meetings and notices, including via email and social media.

Coloradans give a firm no to Amendment 66By Vic [email protected]

A ballot measure that sought to overhaul the way Colorado schools are funded suf-fered a sound defeat on Nov. 5.

Voters by a resounding margin rejected Amendment 66, a measure that would have created at least $950 million in new taxes annually to fund major school reforms across the state.

It was never close. After early returns showed the measure to be doomed, the only matters in question were how wide of a margin the ballot measure would fail by, and at what time would supporters publicly admit defeat — which occurred about an hour after 7 p.m. poll closings.

As of the early morning of Nov. 6, Amendment 66 had been rejected by about 66 percent of voters, with 91 percent of pre-cincts reporting.

“Perhaps this wasn’t the right transac-tion,” Gov. John Hickenlooper acknowl-edged to a room of muted and disappointed supporters from inside downtown Denver’s Marriot Denver City Center.

Trying to remain positive, the governor also said that “no one fought against” the measure’s vision of making funding for Colorado schools a model for the rest of the nation. Hickenlooper said he will continue to strive toward achieving that goal.

“Every great social victory in the history of this country was based on a number of failures,” Hickenlooper said.

Meanwhile, Amendment 66 opponents crowed.

“Colorado families spoke loud and clear,” said Kelly Maher, executive director of Compass Colorado, a group that worked to oppose Amendment 66. “We need sub-stantive outcome-driven reforms to the ed-ucational system before we ask families and small businesses to foot a major tax bill.”

The measure sought to fund full-day kindergarten, preschool for at-risk youth, and would have provided more resources for English language learners, special edu-cation students and children who are in gifted and talented programs.

Also, the measure aimed to reduce class sizes and would have reformed per-pupil funding statewide in a more equitable fash-ion, proponents argued.

While the reforms may have sounded good to many people, even the governor acknowledged that the hefty price tag as-sociated with overhauling the new fund-ing system was responsible for turning off many voters.

The measure would have raised taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. The two-tiered proposal would have raised income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earning $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount

would have paid 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000.

Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level.

The measure sought to put in place legis-lation that was enacted through Senate Bill 213. The Democrat-sponsored bill — which was signed by Hickenlooper in June — did not receive a single vote from Republican lawmakers.

Republicans and other critics blasted the school funding overhaul as a “billion-dollar tax hike” that comes at a time when Colora-dans are barely coming out of a recession. They also argued that Senate Bill 213 did

not put in place the kind of reforms to war-rant that kind of a tax increase.

Opponents also argued that much of the revenue that would have been raised through Amendment 66 would have ended up going to school districts other than the ones where taxpayers’ children attend.

The measure was rejected in just about every area of the state.

For example, late returns showed the measure was failing badly in Adams, Arapa-hoe, Douglas, El Paso and Jefferson coun-ties.

The only large counties that could end up seeing majority support when the votes are officially tallied are Denver and Boulder.


6-Opinion

opinions / yours and ours

For all who chew, this spud’s for youThere are few things better than a

baked potato, but you must never have one before Sept. 22. It’s very bad luck if you do.

To be safe, I don’t bake one until the day the clocks fall back. This year that was Nov. 3.

In French, a potato is a “pomme de terre”: an apple from the earth. Apples are great too, but you can’t put sour cream or bacon bits on them.

French fries in French are “les frites.” Makes no sense.

I couldn’t explain why baked pota-toes are so wonderful when they are so ordinary and abundant any better than Katharine Hepburn’s description of Spen-cer Tracy.

Hepburn compared Tracy to a baked potato.

“A baked potato is pure,” she said. “It’s of the earth, and it’s dependable, that was Spencer.”

We rarely had baked potatoes when I was growing up. We had mashed potatoes,

and they’re almost as good as baked pota-toes. I played with my mashed potatoes, however. It’s difficult to play with baked potatoes, so immediately you feel more grown up.

I am a miserable cook, but I can bake a potato. They are foolproof, unless you take them out of the oven too soon, which I have done. Then they are crunchy, and not so good.

Baked potatoes should be prepared when the weather breaks, when summer has packed up, and autumn registers for a while, before winter settles in.

There may be no better dinner on a snowy evening than a baked potato. It is a simple and honest meal or side dish.

Compare this to lobster. You don’t have to euthanize a potato.

Compare baking a potato to homemade lasagna or Thai pretzel chicken.

You just pre-heat the oven, foil-wrap or olive-oil the potato, and then go do some-thing else for a couple of hours — unless you microwave it. Which I never do. For some reason, I prefer to bake potatoes. It’s a part of their charm.

I speed-dial frozen entrees all the time, but I don’t want to speed-dial a potato.

I’d add some thoughts about the Irish potato famine, but it’s unpleasant, and I want a pleasant column for a change. No complaints or grudges, or proposals of prison time for tailgaters.

This surprised me: “China is now the world’s largest potato-producing country, and nearly a third of the world’s potatoes are harvested in China and India.” India?

My No. 1 television program is “Modern

Marvels.” I can’t get enough. Now and then the History Channel has a “Modern Mar-vels” marathon and I am glued to it.

Season 15, Episode 3: “Potato.” Origi-nally aired January 28, 2010. It covers everything about potatoes, and the narra-tor, justifiably, makes the ordinary potato sound like a major contributor to civiliza-tion.

The narrator, Lloyd Sherr, has one of the great voices in television.

His stage name is Max Raphael, which is a combination of his sons’ names, Max and Raphael. He makes the potato sound heroic.

Idaho is sometimes called the “Potato State,” but its real nickname is the “Gem State,” which isn’t very inspiring.

You’re in the clear: It’s past Sept. 22, the first day of autumn. Have a baked potato tonight.

Will Fox’s absence hurt the Broncos?After head coach John Fox’s emergency medical procedure that will keep him away

from the Broncos’ sidelines for a month or two, Colorado Community Media stopped by the Sports Authority and Target in Highlands Ranch’s Town Center and asked local residents what sort of impact they thought Fox’s absence would have on the team.

“It won’t (have any impact). Peyton is the quarterback, he’s the coach.” — Brandon Nelon, Littleton

“I don’t think it will affect them. I think Jack Del Rio is quite capable. He has proven himself as a head coach.” — Katie Allison, Highlands Ranch

“I don’t think we will miss him too much. Del Rio is a good interim coach, and we have Peyton.” — Chris Mueller, Highlands Ranch

“I don’t think it will affect them; we’ve got Peyton. He could be the coach, the quarterback, he can do whatever.” — Angelina Heuchert, Centennial

question of the week

Exit onto road less traveled“Two roads diverged in a wood, and

I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” From the Robert Frost poem, “The Road Not Taken.” Have you been there, faced with a tough decision or at a crossroad in your life? And if so, did you take the road less traveled or did you follow the path where the ground had been cleared and maybe just a little bit easier to traverse?

I have found myself at that decision point on more than one occasion, a true crossroad in my life. And maybe it’s the closet poet in me and huge fan of Robert Frost, but I, in most cases, seem to take the road less traveled. In most cases it has served me well and set me on a new course, adventurous tour, and wild ride. But just as the poem reads, “… and that has made all the difference.”

And then there have been those few times where I followed the masses, ac-cepted the easy path, went along to get along, and I found myself either bored or disappointed, always wondering what would have been or could have been had I chosen the road less traveled. You see, I am not a very good “yes” man, and when I find myself at a decision point, especially a critical decision point, I need to be able to evaluate my options and determine what most others might choose to do, and dig in deeper to the “why” behind their decisions. And this is what usually triggers my decision to try an alternate route.

When people share with me where they are in the crossroads of their own life, I often encourage them to take the time to clearly write out all of the op-

tions, all of the pros and cons, and to visualize each option as if they actually made the decision to pursue that option.

When we are faced with a decision point or at a crossroads, we should sur-round ourselves with strong friends, wise advisers and people we absolutely trust to be our sounding board and help us walk through our options and thought processes around each important deci-sion we need to make.

Do I take more risks than I should? Yes. Are they educated risks or guesses? In most cases. Do I follow my heart, my gut, and attempt to balance that with what is going through my head? Yes. But at the end of the day, as Robert Frost says, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”

I would love to hear what you do at the crossroads of your life at [email protected] and I really do believe that this will be a better than good week.

D.C. must grow upIn stark contrast to Washington’s

dysfunction, which brought us a 16-day government shutdown and the risk of de-fault in October, Coloradans know what it means to do their jobs day in and day out.

Across the state, and in some cases as they recovered from catastrophic flooding, workers in Colorado continued to carry out their duties and meet their responsi-bilities, in light of the paralysis in Washing-ton. From police officers to teachers, busi-ness owners to assembly-line workers, we proved that Colorado doesn’t shut down.

To highlight this point, immediately following the shutdown, we traveled across the state to work side-by-side with Colo-radans who are working hard day in and day out. Despite challenges they face, the workers we met with were meeting their obligations, providing for their families, and contributing to our economy.

At Adam’s Mountain Cafe, an eatery in Manitou Springs, the restaurant’s owner, Farley McDonough, quickly put me to work. Between filling waters and wiping down tables, I talked with customers about the hardships and losses they’ve suffered as a result of the mudslides and flooding in Manitou this summer. They also shared with me their frustration with the dysfunc-tion in Washington. Later, when riding along with Officer Marcus Juliano on his beat in Pueblo, I witnessed his dedication to his community as he responded to call after call well into the night.

In Fowler, at the family-owned Jensen’s Blue Ribbon Processing, Jerry Jensen, the meatpacking plant’s owner, explained the challenges and costs of competing with

large companies. Jerry works hard every day to keep his doors open. At U.S. Tractor and Harvest Inc. in Alamosa, mechanics explained the difficulties small farms are facing due to drought and high feed costs, not to mention the fact that Washington has yet to reauthorize the farm bill.

Whether it was substitute teaching in Denver, working at Brown Cycles and Edgewater Brewery in Grand Junction, or hauling onions at Tuxedo Farms in Olathe, the contrast between these hard-working Coloradans and the political antics going on in Washington was crystal-clear.

Though the government has reopened — at least temporarily — the effects of this ridiculous and manufactured crisis were undeniably damaging to the country and to Colorado. As we look forward, now is the time for Washington to get its act together and work on priorities important to Colo-radans. This includes fixing our broken immigration system, passing the farm bill, and most importantly crafting a balanced bipartisan budget.

Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

“The voters have elected four candidates who believe in parental choice and who believe in performance pay. It’s a very clear mandate about the direction we are going.”

Silverthorn said, “I think the voters have clearly said: `We want you to continue modernizing education,’ but let’s talk about how we are doing that.”

Challenger plans recountAfter the night’s earliest release of partial

election results, which didn’t look good for the challenger candidates, those opposing the current board’s direction said they were still optimistic.

“We’re on the right side,” said Keim. “I re-ally believe we have the community’s sup-port and we’ll see that at the end.”

“I’m a little nervous, a little surprised,” said Chase.

The challenger candidates were gath-ered with about 200 supporters at Stumpy’s Pizza in Castle Rock.

The mood in the restaurant, jubilant be-fore the 7:30 p.m. announcement of initial returns in the Republican-endorsed slates’ favor, turned somber, expressions of con-cern replacing smiles.

One challenger candidate already ap-peared to be heading toward a recount. “We have already got a plan for a recount,” Sue

Kober, Julie Keim’s campaign manager, an-nounced to the crowd gathered at Stumpy’s after the second wave of results was re-leased. “We have an attorney who said he would help us pro bono.

“This is about our teachers, this is about our students, this is about our community. We are not done.”

Those results still showed the pro-board candidates in the lead, though Kober insist-ed it was too close to call.

Kober was hostess for the evening, an-nouncing results to the people gathered at Stumpy’s.

The evening of Election Day brings to a close years of school-board campaigning that began with the conclusion of the 2011 Douglas County School Board election, and culminated during the last few months with a series of community-led protests, emotional school board meetings, teacher resignations, lawsuits and high-dollar cam-paigns that heightened divisions within the community.

In 2011 and in 2009, board seats went to Douglas County Republican-supported candidates who support the education re-form policies now in place. The reforms include a court-stymied voucher program, and controversial teacher evaluation and pay systems.

Both the reform policies and a fractious campaign have drawn the nation’s atten-tion. Some say Douglas County is a testing ground for the reform effort, a characteriza-tion board opponents decry as subjecting

local children to experimentation.The school board and administra-

tion say the changes made and those still planned by current offi cials will make Douglas County a leader in the nation, and better prepare children for a rapidly chang-ing world.

Critics contend the seven-member board is acting according to an outside-driven agenda to privatize public educa-

tion, and has withheld money from class-rooms as it cut the parents’ and teachers’ voices from the district.

The winning candidates join school board vice president Kevin Larsen, and board members Craig Richardson and Jus-tin Williams.

Staff writers Jane Reuter and Ryan Bold-rey contributed to this report.

Reformers keep control in school district GOP-endorsed slate sweeps Douglas County school race By Jane Reuter [email protected]

The Douglas County School District like-ly will continue with its education reform efforts, as four candidates who endorse those changes won their races for board seats.

The Douglas County Republican-en-dorsed slate of candidates, including two incumbents and two newcomers who sup-port the current board’s education reform efforts, prevailed over four candidates heavily supported by community-based or-ganizations.

Incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn, and Judi Reynolds and Jim Geddes will be sworn in at a school board meeting, but not until the election results are certifi ed. Since the county’s Board of Canvass isn’t set to meet until Nov. 21, that could be as late as Dec. 3.

Board vice president Kevin Larsen said he wants to keep the district moving for-ward.

“Even when things are excellent, you always want to be looking ahead to what’s going to keep your kids ahead in the future world,” he said.

“I don’t want us to be the best buggy whip maker. The automobile revolution-ized the way people get around. On a differ-ent level, we are now connecting the world

in so many ways that were never before possible.

“I want our district to continue to pre-pare the kids so that when they are entering the world, they’re going to apply all these things they’ve learned to be successful, keep our country and community on the leading edge and having satisfying lives.”

Challenger candidates Barbra Chase, Bill Hodges, Julie Keim and Ronda Scholt-ing represented a portion of the community advocating for major change in the board’s direction. Their areas of concern covered a broad range of issues, including a discon-

nect among the board, community mem-bers and teachers.

“We just witnessed parent voices being silenced in their own school district,” said Susan Meek, a board member with Doug-las County Parents, one of the community groups supporting the challenger candi-dates.

“So many volunteers have worked tire-lessly to ensure that a signifi cant portion of the community has a voice on the school board, and what we witnessed is outside funders and infl uences trumped parents. The record number of voters in this school

board election demonstrates that people in our community care deeply about being represented.

“For elected individuals to ignore, be-little and intimidate a signifi cant portion of the community is inexcusable and will lead to further turmoil and division in Douglas County. We will continue to advocate for our children’s future and our future as this board continues to dismantle one of the highest-performing school districts in the state.”

Larsen, whose seat was not up for elec-tion, said he already had made plans he hopes will bridge community divides, “re-gardless of the outcome”.

“In a lot of ways, the vote is a bit of a referendum on which way the community wants the school district to go,” he said. ““We have to fi gure out a way to get every-body together regardless of their view on the outcome, to make sure this is the best district it can be. I do think we need to get to where we can have a conversation about policy and issues and get beyond the per-sonal hurt and attacks the campaign has tended to bring.”

Larsen wants to see changes in the board’s meeting structure to allow more public engagement as well as open com-munity forums.

Meek noted that the vast majority of campaign funds for the newly elected board members came from outside the county, while almost all the money donated to the challengers was given by Douglas County residents.

Fire program includes those with special needs Plan could include paid positions in the future By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

Sometimes all it takes is giving a person the chance to prove what they can do.

At least, that’s what Doug Bloomquist fi gures. As operations executive offi cer for the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority, Bloomquist makes sure the workforce is functioning effi ciently and effectively. He also has the opportunity to introduce new programs that not only help the fi re ser-vice, but incorporate the community.

Enter Marty Williams, a 20-year-old de-velopmentally disabled man from Parker who got in trouble for pulling a fi re alarm at his apartment complex last year. Wil-liams learned a lesson from the fi refi ghters at South Metro’s station 41, near Mainstreet and Pine Drive, who took him under their wing. Bloomquist took notice when he started seeing Williams hanging out at the station and helping with the cleaning du-ties.

The department’s fl eet manager sug-gested fi nding Williams a role in the supply warehouse, and Bloomquist got a positive reaction from quartermaster Matt Whip-ple, who is in charge of fi lling supply orders for all of the fi rehouses.

Williams has since become fully in-volved as a weekly volunteer, gathering necessities like coffee, cleaning supplies, batteries and window washer fl uid for the fi re trucks to send to the appropriate sta-tion. He also helps fi ll orders and deliver uniforms and gear.

“The nice thing about doing this for Marty is that he gets to see what else is out

there,” Whipple says. “Instead of just South Metro Fire being station 41, he gets to see what goes into it from this side or over at the admin building.”

Williams is in the Bridge Program, a transition program that enables devel-opmentally disabled adults to gain job skills they can use in the workforce. Now Bloomquist, as part of a research project for senior fi re offi cials, is developing a pi-lot program, of which Williams is the fi rst participant. The research will determine whether developmentally disabled adults should become employed at South Metro

and what roles they might fi ll.“It’s a group that’s really kind of discrim-

inated against and there are a lot of pos-sibilities out there for them,” Bloomquist said. “I think that’s part of our community responsibility to look at those.”

Bloomquist recently fi nished a needs analysis by sending out a questionnaire to every staffer in the department to “give me an idea of where we could possibly carve out jobs,” including administrative posi-tions.

Whipple has adapted the job to help Williams perform better. As of one month

ago, the supply orders come with pictures of the requested items.

“It helps him identify how to fi ll the order. It didn’t take a whole lot, it was in-expensive, and it makes a world of differ-ence,” Bloomquist said.

Little notes like that will likely be includ-ed in a presentation he makes to the South Metro Fire Rescue board of directors, the body that makes decisions on budget allo-cations for new positions.

The pilot program has given Williams the job skills and confi dence that will come in handy in a permanent role at the fi re department or in another professional set-ting. He also works at Dollar Tree in Parker, and when he’s not volunteering, working or attending school, Williams is in a predict-able place.

“Hang out with (Station) 41,” he said. “Stay out of trouble.”

Chris Fairbanks, his aunt and guardian, says the crews serve as mentors and make Williams do his homework. He comes along on some emergency calls, helps the fi refi ghters clean the fi rehouse and works out with them. He is made to feel like one of the guys, and Williams shows his grati-tude with his work ethic.

“He tries to help anybody that needs help,” Fairbanks said.

Since the program is in its infancy, ap-plications for new volunteers are not being accepted. Easter Seals and Goodwill will analyze the results of Bloomquist’s pro-gram and help defi ne the positions, and the fi re district will work with the Bridge Program and Developmental Pathways to bring in new recruits. No other department has created such a program, Bloomquist said, and if funding is approved, his plan is to roll it out next year. The pilot program could become a model for other depart-ments.

Task force seeks donationsIn an effort to make the Thanksgiv-

ing holiday a little brighter for families in need, the Parker Task Force food bank is seeking donations for holiday food baskets so families can prepare a Thanksgiving meal at their home. Food baskets should feed a family of four to six people and con-tain Thanksgiving dinner items, such as frozen turkey, canned vegetables, stuffi ng, cans of sweet potatoes, gravy, packets or jars, cans of cranberry sauce, canned fruit and instant mashed potatoes.

The baskets or boxes can be dropped off at the conference room in the Parker Task Force building at 20118 E. Mainstreet between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Nov. 24. The food bank is also seeking monetary dona-tions. A tax-deductible $50 donation will feed a family of four to six people. Checks made payable to the Parker Task Force

(memo: Thanksgiving) may be mailed to the attention of Diane Roth, Parker Task Force, 20118 E. Mainstreet Unit D, Parker, CO 80138. Donors may also make a con-tribution using PayPal through the Parker Task Force website, www.parkertaskforce.org.

“The holiday season is an important time to raise money for all nonprofi ts. Any additional funds collected during Thanks-giving will be used to help provide limited fi nancial assistance to prevent eviction or utility shut-off through the winter months,” said Steve Budnack, chairman of the Parker Task Force.

The task force can also use gift cards to local grocery stores. Those who would like more information about the Thanksgiving efforts should leave a message at 303-841-3460 or send an email to [email protected].

Art market set for PACEParker is one of eight Colorado commu-

nities designated as an Emerging Creative District, and the Parker Artists Guild is cel-ebrating. Join the guild at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7 for an Old Town Parker Holiday Art Market.

Fine arts gifts will be on sale amid a whirlwind of music and dance at the PACE Center. The Parker Artists Guild has been in the fi ne arts community since 2001, drawing artists from all over the Denver metro area.

Talents will converge at the PACE Center with a room full of gift items while concert performances by the Parker Sym-phony Orchestra and the Parker Chorale delight audiences. Parker Youth Ballet will be performing the 12 Dancing Days of Christmas the afternoon of Dec. 6 and

complimentary carriage rides will be going up and down Mainstreet that evening.

Police host driving workshopsThe Parker Police Department will

be hosting two “What do You Consider Lethal?” workshops that focus on the dangers or reckless and distracted driv-ing. The workshops are scheduled for 7 to 8 p.m. Nov. 21 and Dec. 9 at the depart-ment’s headquarters near Lincoln Avenue and Dransfeldt Road. The parent-teen safe driving workshop is designed for drivers age 14 to 18 and a parent or guardian.

The goal is to save lives by changing at-titudes and behaviors that become lethal.

To register for the workshop, go to www.parkeronline.org and click on the “police” tab. All attendees must register prior to the event and attend with at least one parent or guardian.

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques. The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!

A thorough rate and fee analysis will be conducted this winter and spring, Redd said.

“If you ask me six months from now, I’ll be able to tell you what the rates will be long-term, but I think you will see in-cremental rate increases for a while,” he said. He later added: “We will have a fi ne-toothed comb on this in the future.”

The cost of bringing in new water, and building the pipelines to transport the wa-ter, will continue to rise.

More users will help spread out the costs; Ridgegate and the Canyons, in Lone Tree and Castle Pines, respectively, will be served by Parker Water.

Redd had “no indication whatsoever” that Hutchins was opposed to the 5 per-

cent increase and said he assumed it would get unanimous approval.

Hutchins said she believes the district should not only continue cutting admin-istrative costs, but that the board should consider a proposal from private investors who want to build Stroh Road to Interstate 25, with some federal funding.

Although impact fees, such as tap fees paid by new customers to hook into the PWSD system, will not be affected by the proposed increase, they could change in the future; Redd says they will be looked at during the rate study.

More rooftops will alleviate the fi nancial burden on existing customers, Hutchins said, and keeping tap fees low for new cus-tomers is crucial because “future develop-ment is what keeps us in business.”

“The reality is if home prices become more out of this world, the land’s not going to get developed,” she said.

If approved, the 5 percent increase would take effect Jan. 1.

Baldlittle,” raised $50 for the cause.

Aside from Valentine, the star of the head-shaving event was Dr. Rebecca Bowden, a Rocky Vista professor who raised more than $7,500 and faced the clip-pers. It was her fi rst time going bald and she admitted to the crowd on hand that it “felt good.”

Bowden, who has had Valentine in some of her classes, succinctly summed up her line of thinking about donating time, money and hair on behalf of Valentine.

“We’re family,” Bowden said of the small, tight-knit school that opened in 2008.

Valentine must undergo radiation treat-ment and surgery, but her spirits are bright. She was uplifted by the number of people who got involved in the head-shaving event and described it as “one of the cool-est things of my life.” She said it speaks to the character of medical students and their willingness to step up for others in need.

officers responded to the 10000 block of Holyoke Drive on report of a theft. The reporting party stated he ordered a collec-tor’s coin and when the package arrived, the box was damaged and the coin wasn’t inside.

Garage opened during nightApproximately 5 p.m. Oct. 21, Parker

police officers responded to a cold bur-glary in the 11000 block of Tumbleweed Way.

The reporting party said she had parked her vehicle in the garage at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 19 and shut the garage door. Her husband found the garage door open about 8 a.m. the following morning. On the morning of Oct. 21, the woman noticed items were missing from inside her vehicle.

Idyllwilde home burglarizedThe Parker Police Department respond-

ed to the 12000 block of Meander Way on a reported burglary. The caller said the patio door to the home was open when they arrived at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 25. The reporting party noticed items taken from inside the home.

Police did not release a description of the stolen items. During the investiga-tion, officers found broken windows in the basement.

Woman reports assault to avoid troubleAt 6:46 p.m. Oct. 26, Parker officers

responded to the 16000 block of Carlson Drive on a possible assault that occurred at Walmart, 11101 Parker Road. An 18-year-old woman said she had been assaulted in the parking lot at Walmart and her vehicle sustained damage. After further investiga-tion, it was determined she had not been

at Walmart that day.The woman changed her story and said

the assault and damage to her vehicle oc-curred in the Clarke Farms neighborhood. Upon further questioning, she admitted to lying to police officers to keep from getting into trouble with her parents. She was is-sued a court summons for false reporting.

Truck stolen from dealer lotApproximately 11:30 a.m. Oct. 28,

Parker police responded to Berkenkotter Motors, 11534 Parker Road, on a vehicle theft. The reporting party said a truck had gone missing from the lot between 6:30 p.m. Oct. 26 and 3 p.m. the following day.

The truck is a 2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab, with black exterior paint and tan interior. Police are looking for crime tips from the public.

Teens suspected of vandalismA Douglas County sheriff’s deputy was

dispatched to 5174 Oak Way for a suspi-cious incident. A woman said that at 8 p.m. Oct. 31, someone was on her back porch and pounded on the sliding glass door. She turned on her lights in the back yard. She checked the entire property and saw noth-ing, but saw approximately five teenagers in the park behind her house. They were in Halloween costumes and were standing on tables and benches in the park.

She told the teenagers to get off the tables and benches and asked them where they lived. They told her they were not from her neighborhood. They got off the tables and benches. About 15 minutes later, they left the park in a large white SUV. The caller said she believes the teens came back and burned the cover to her hot tub. She also said they put some kind of liquid in the hot tub.

“The water in the hot tub did have an unusual smell, like the smell of kerosene or something like that,” the deputy said in the report.

Arson investigators were called to the scene. There were no suspects.

Art offers view of French society‘Passport to Paris’ at Denver museumBy Sonya [email protected]

Three related shows meld together flaw-lessly at the Denver Art Museum to give lo-cal art lovers a welcoming visit to Paris and its environs. Beloved artists appear in more than one collection, showing how they bridged across years and segments of soci-ety and from academic standards to joyful renderings of sunshine and the outdoors. “Passport to Paris” continues through Feb. 9, 2014, in the Hamilton Building.

“Court to Cafe: Three Centuries of French Artworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum” is the entry point, and it fea-tures 50 works from the collection of the famous museum in Hartford, Conn. These works begin with 17th-century paintings of religious scenes, mythological subjects, landscapes, still lifes and genre scenes and extend to the early 19th century.

This DAM installation in the second floor Anschutz Gallery is especially well-designed and features high color, hand-stenciled walls, architectural moldings and decorative art from the museum’s own collection, such as damask chairs and small furniture pieces. Music plays in the background.

Another pleasing touch is the inclusion of several stylish white dresses, matching the ones depicted in paintings of intimate home scenes. They are on loan from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Since works range from the early 1600s to the early 1900s, the visitor finds early works by Edgar Degas, Camille Pissaro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne, Vin-cent Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse Lautrec and Claude Monet here, plus later works in the two subsequent exhibits, weaving threads of the story together.

Next stop is “Drawing Room: an Inti-mate Look at French Drawings from the Esmond Bradley Martin Collection,” a col-lection that is kept at the DAM, although its owner lives elsewhere. It is on the second floor in the Martin and McCormick Gallery. Included are 39 works on paper in a range of techniques. Sketches by artists from across the time period draw a viewer up close to appreciate the lines — in fact, there are some magnifying lenses provided

for those who need assistance in appreci-ating the delicate works.

For the first time, Impressionist paintings from the Frederic C. Hamilton collection are shown in what may be the most popular segment: “Nature as Muse.” Some works from the DAM collection are blended into this collection in the Galla-gher Family Gallery on the first floor, which focuses on landscape. In a press tour, DAM

director Christoph Heinrich pointed out that oil paints became available in tubes in the mid-1800s, enabling artists to work outdoors in that medium, “en plein air.” Because many Colorado artists prefer to work outdoors, it is expected that they will especially relate to “Nature as Muse” with its sunlit orchards and gardens.

Related programming is extensive throughout the exhibit time. See denverar-tmuseum.org for scheduling. Of particular note is a collaboration with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, which provided a soundtrack for the Court to Cafe exhibit in advance and featured French music in its Nov. 1-3 concerts. Every Saturday at 1 p.m., various symphonic ensembles will present a 45-minute performance at the museum, featuring French masterworks with com-mentary to place them in context.

The first-floor studio space will become a drawing studio, with local artists demon-strating and teaching on weekends.

“A Painter at Work” by Paul Cezanne, 1874-75, oil on panel, is in the “Nature as Muse” portion of “Passport to Paris,” and shows the start of “plein air” painting by the Impressionists as oil paints became available in tubes. From the Frederick Hamilton Collection. Photos courtesy of the Denver Art Museum

“Nympheas (Water Lilies)” by Claude Monet, 1907 oil on canvas, is loaned by the Wadsworth Atheneum.

if you go

“Passport to Paris” continues through Feb. 9 at the Denver Art Museum, 13th Avenue between Broad-way and Bannock, with a special exhibition ticket that includes all three segments plus general muse-um admission. Tickets cost $12 members/$22 adult non-members, with discounts. See denverartmuse-um.org or call 720-865-5000. There will be extended holiday hours — again see the website.

Concert aids flood victims

Colorado Rising, a benefit concert for flood relief featuring performances by Dave Matthews, The Fray, Big Head Todd and The Monsters, Wesley Schul-tz, Jeremiah Fraites and Neyla Pekarek of The Lumineers, Devotchka and Na-thaniel Rateliff, raised $650,000 on Oct. 27 at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield.

And from what I was told through emails and Facebook posts, the eve-ning of unprecedented entertainment from Colorado musicians was a smash hit. The money raised will go to www.liveunitedcolorado.org, the United Ways of Colorado Flood Recovery Fund.

“It’s no surprise that the entire music community from musicians to fans stepped up in a time of need for Colo-rado,” said Chuck Morris, president and CEO of concert organizer AEG Live Rocky Mountains. “Thank you all.”

ty organization dedicated to advancing an understanding of global affairs and cultures, is hosting its first Global Cup Challenge trivia fundraiser from 6 to 10 p.m. Nov. 15 at the Inverness Hotel and Conference Center in Arapahoe County.

Book sheds light on Indian Wars Writer will appear at Tattered Cover LoDo By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

When co-author Bob Drury appears in Denver on Nov. 14, he should attract many local history buffs who focus on the cha-otic 19th-century Western American Indi-an Wars. He and fellow writer Tom Clavin have just published their account of the Ogalala Sioux chief Red Cloud — described

as “the only Plains Indian to defeat the United States Army in a war, forcing the American gov-ernment to sue for peace in a confl ict named for him.”

The book is ti-tled “The Heart of Everything That

Is,” which is a translation for the Native American “Paha Sapa,” the sacred Black Hills area in what is now South Dakota. More specifi cally, the mystical “breathing” Wind Cave of the Black Hills is thought to be where the ancient gods delivered the ancestors of Red Cloud and his people.

When the “manifest destiny” propo-nents of the U.S. government eyed the po-tential gold in the Black Hills as fair game, there followed many years of broken trea-ties and fi erce combat.

These authors write in clear descriptive terms about the lands the Sioux controlled at one time — said to be about 20 percent of the contiguous United States, shown on a map that extends from Iowa to Idaho and north into Montana. The Bozeman Trail, a main route for westward gold seekers and other settlers, ran through it.

The writers also are skilled in describ-ing the total philosophical disconnect be-tween whites and Indians — not new in-formation certainly, but particularly well stated.

An autobiography by Red Cloud, dic-tated to a longtime friend, white trapper

Sam Deon, was found, which offered new material.

The extensive bibliography cites the many original sources the authors found, such as writings by the commander of Fort Phil Kearny, Col. Henry B. Carrington. These lend color throughout the book, in-cluding domestic details from women and grisly accounts of slaughter.

On Dec. 21, a combative Capt. Wil-liam J. Fetterman, sent out from the fort to protect a wood gathering train — and fi rmly instructed not to chase lurking In-dians over the ridge — gave in to visions of glory and chased Indian scouts who had been teasing. (A fi nal insult was when an insolent Crazy Horse mooned him and his troops, according to Drury and Clavin.)

He led his limited number of about 80 Bluecoats into an ambush by about 2,000 waiting warriors, resulting in what is now called the Fetterman Massacre, in which all the members of the Fetterman party were killed.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF NOV 4, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You enjoy the attention early in the week, but it might be a good idea to opt for some privacy by week’s end so that you can have more time to consider an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) You unearthed some surprising facts. Now you need to consider how to use them to your advantage. Meanwhile, it might be best to keep what you’ve learned secret for now.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A comment by a col-league piques your curiosity to know more. Best ad-vice: You’ll find people more likely to offer information if you’re discreet when making your inquiries.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your energy levels begin to rise by midweek. This allows you to catch up with your heavy workload and still have plenty of get-up-and-go to go out on the town this weekend.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You’re probably roaring your head off about a perceived slight from a longtime critic. Ignore it. That person might just be trying to goad you into doing something you might later regret.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) The early part of the week is open to spontaneity. Then it’s time to settle into your usual routine to get all your tasks done. A personal situation could require more attention from you.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A meeting of the minds on a workplace project might well develop into some-thing more personal for Libras looking for romance. Aspects are also favorable for platonic relationships.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A more-positive mood might be difficult to assume in light of a recent problem involving the health of someone special. But by week’s end, your emotional barometer should start to rise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Look for a changed attitude from a former adversary once he or she realizes you have your colleagues’ full support. Now you can refocus your energies on that workplace project.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) This time, a differ-ence of opinion might not be resolved in your favor. But be patient. It ultimately could all work out to your advantage, as new information begins to develop.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A tug of war de-velops between the artistic Aquarian’s creative aspect and his or her practical side. Best advice: Prioritize your schedule so you can give appropriate time to both.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You could be entering a career phase awash with job-related demands. But avoid being swamped by the overflow and, instead, keep treading water as you deal with demands one by one.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are an exceptionally loyal person, and you’re respected for your ability to keep the secrets entrusted to you.

Greensky Bluegrass comes to GothicJam favorites set for two-night runBy Ryan [email protected]

No strangers to the Colorado music scene, Michigan-born jam-grass band Greensky Bluegrass — which opened at Red Rocks for Galactic and Railroad Earth this summer — will grace The Gothic Theatre stage for the first time this coming weekend.

The hard-touring quintet will be headlining the Englewood the-atre Nov. 15 and 16, with fellow bluegrass band Fruition support-ing both nights.

The band, which started as a trio playing open mic nights in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 2000, added standup bassist Mike Devol in 2004 and dobro-player extraordi-naire Anders Beck in 2007. Play-ing close to 175 gigs a year, they’ve become a popular headliner at medium-sized clubs across the country, while climbing closer to the headlining slots at festivals with each passing summer.

Calling bluegrass “a jumping-off point for the band,” no two shows are ever the same for the hard-rocking group, which boasts close to 200 songs in its live rep-ertoire.

When the band leaves its own catalog behind, which they do four or five times per show, no one ever knows what they are go-ing to hear. Odds are it won’t be

your traditional bluegrass cover though. At their recent sold-out, two-night run in Boulder, Greensky covered everything from Bruce Springsteen to String Cheese Incident, Radiohead, Paul Simon, Bob Marley and the Grate-ful Dead.

“We’re all music heads, and love writing, but we also love oth-er people’s music as well,” Beck said. “I think if there weren’t such

strong songwriters in the band, playing covers would feel a little cheaper on some level. But I think it allows us to play unique cov-ers in the set and not let it be the highlight per se. At some level we are just looking for the common denominator with the fans.”

And while the Greensky cover selection can kick the energy level of a crowd into high gear, it is the originals, mostly penned by man-

dolin player and lead vocalist Paul Hoffman or guitar player Dave Bruzza, that send the crowd into a frenzy.

The band’s recent album, “Handguns,” helped to launch the band’s popularity to the next level, and the decision to give half of it away for free on the Green-sky website, SoundCloud and through social media didn’t hurt anything either.

“We just really wanted to get it out there,” Beck said. “We aren’t a household name in most house-holds, but we figured that if you can turn your friends onto liking Greensky Bluegrass by saying, ‘Hey, check it out, it’s free,’ you’ll want to hear more.”

Greensky will release its fifth studio album, “If Sorrows Swim,” in February, highlighted by new cuts, “Windshield,” “In Control,” “Worried about the Weather,” and “Leap Year,” all cuts they are al-ready playing on the road.

For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit www.greenskybluegrass.com or www.gothictheatre.com. Single-day tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of show and two-day passes are $30 in advance. Showtime is 9 p.m. Nov. 15 and 16 at The Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in En-glewood.

Memories filtered through family lens‘99 Histories’ runs at Vintage TheatreBy Sonya [email protected]

“99 Histories” by Korean dra-matist Julia Cho follows a well-used and generally compelling design, one that draws in audi-ence members of several age ranges — mother-daughter con-flict and the histories behind it. Mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts in three generations are remembered in a story that is about a Korean-American fam-ily, but could translate to any na-tionality. The play runs through Nov. 16 and invites a visit from area theater lovers.

It completes the first season of the new Theatre Esprit Asia company, formed by Maria Cho and Tria Xiong after they con-

nected in the all-Asian cast of Vintage Theatre’s “Joy Luck Club” in May 2012.

Skilled director Terry Dodd has brought together a polished cast and worked through the lo-

gistics of producing numerous scenes in the tight quarters of Vintage’s small studio theater. Acting is strong and carries the story back and forth as bits of the past surface, like pieces of a

puzzle.Eunice (Tria Xiong), a 29-year-

old former violin virtuoso, ar-rives at her mother’s home in New York City unannounced. She is single, pregnant and agitated. Her mother, Sah-Jin (Sheila Ivy-Traister), is bewildered by her behavior — she was a talented young musician, a Juilliard stu-dent, who seems to have lost her way, her will to perform. Sah-Jin, who loves her daughter blindly, but fails to understand her, voic-es platitudes: ”You can do any-thing you want — as long as you want it badly enough …”

The troubled Eunice, who has decided to have the baby and give it up for adoption, is con-cerned about family medical his-tory, mental illness in particular. She finds mementos in the home that suggest a number of un-knowns in her mother’s earlier life.

Vignettes bring these bits of

the past to the stage, as well as glimpses of a young girl, played by SunHee Seo, a freshman at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch, in her profes-sional debut.

Under Dodd’s direction, puz-zle pieces fit together by the end of Act II, although the future re-mains something of a question mark. As is often the case with an engaging performance, one heads out into the dark speculat-ing about the ways a story might move forward.

Ponderosa advances in soccer playoffsWin over North opens door to semifinalsBy Jim [email protected]

Ponderosa has been making noise in the Class 4A soccer playoffs by keeping quiet.

The Mustangs moved into the semifi-nals with a 2-1 overtime victory over Den-ver North Nov. 2 at All-City Stadium.

Junior midfielder Lars Peterson scored both Ponderosa goals. His tally on a penalty kick with 6:50 remaining in overtime won the game.

“Ever since we stopped arguing with the refs, things have started going our way a little more,” admitted Ponderosa coach Jim Engels. “We are 6-0 since we decided to

shut our mouths and play soccer.“It was a great comeback by the kids

against North. That was a good team.”Ponderosa (14-3-1) faced another good

team in top-seeded Air Academy (17-1-0) Nov. 6 in a semifinal match at Sports Au-thority Stadium. The winner advanced to the state championship game, which was to be held Nov. 6 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

North grabbed a 1-0 first-half lead over Ponderosa, and the Vikings could have eas-ily been ahead 3-0 at halftime, but missed on two other excellent scoring chances.

“We didn’t play very well in the first half,” said Engels. “They outplayed us the first half. Then I thought we outplayed them the second half and kind of took them out of the game a little bit.

“It was just heart and desire and we changed up our lineup a little bit. We got

a little stronger in the midfield and put a little more pressure on them. The first half we gave them so much time they could do what they wanted.”

Peterson, who scored on a penalty kick in a 1-0 first round playoff triumph over Kennedy, tied the game in 60th minute when he punched a shot home.

“We hadn’t been taking many shots, so why not,” said Peterson. “We need to take more shots to get a goal. Thankfully they didn’t go up more than 1-0 in the first half.”

Engels, who gets a little animated dur-ing games, was surprised to see Peterson score.

“It was an incredible goal, one of the best goals I’ve seen,” explained Engels. “It was just a volley outside the 18 and right under the bar by Lars. That seemed to re-ally change the momentum.

“It was a surprise, I guess, because it was

such a great goal, but from that player it is not that big of a surprise because he’s done it a couple times this year. And obviously he’s the one we count on to take our PKs. He buried it.”

North was called for a hand ball in the penalty area, and Peterson left little doubt with the game-winning shot. He looked to the right and deposited the shot to the right.

“Works every time,” said Peterson.Engels hopes the Mustangs can have fun

the remainder of season.“Our goal has been to win the whole

thing,” he said. “So we don’t consider this to be a surprise. I think our players were a little tight against North, a little nervous.

“We’re going to take a little different ap-proach, a little looser maybe. I think our guys might play a little better if they have some fun and not be so tense.”

Lars Peterson (11) scored both of Ponderosa’s goals, including the penalty kick in overtime, that gave the Mustangs a 2-1 victory over Denver North on Nov. 2 and pushed them into the Class 4A semifinals. Photo by Jim Benton

Running game carries Huskies past TitansDouglas County rushes for over 500 yards in beating LegendBy Jim [email protected]

Douglas County has used the same game plan most of the season.

The Huskies like to play physical and run the football.

Douglas County rushed for 526 yards in a 64-34 first round Class 5A playoff victory over Legend Nov. 1 at Douglas County Sta-dium.

Nothing will change Nov. 8 when 16th-seeded Douglas County (7-3) travels to Boulder to take on top-seeded Fairview (9-0) at Recht Field.

“We’ve talked to our kids all year long about being physical and when you get in the playoffs, it is whoever is the top physi-cal, injury-free team,” said Douglas County coach Jeff Ketron.

Legend quarterback Peyton Remy

passed for 368 yards and four touchdowns against the Huskies, and Ketron expects to face another aerial attack against Fairview.

Fairview averages 328.1 yards per game passing. Senior quarterback Anders Hill has thrown for 2,865 yards and 27 touch-downs.

“They are the No. 1 seeded team in the state,” pointed out Ketron. “They are a lot like Legend at throwing the football around.

They have a great quarterback, a great receiver and we just have to go play physi-cal football.

Obviously our offense will be our best defense.

“That’s how it is whether it is college in the bowl season or the NFL, when you get to the later part of the year the offenses are better than the defenses. It’s just that it takes a long time for offenses to jell, and when they do then they are successful.”

Douglas County’s running game jelled and spoiled Legend’s first-ever trip to the state playoffs.

Trey Smith rushed for 216 yards and four touchdowns, JP Rubino gained 128

yards and a TD and quarterback Rope Ruel added 111 yards rushing and two scores.

“It felt good,” said Rubino. “Our line-men worked hard on being physical and we tried to beat them down and it worked out well.

“We have to work hard and not take this being cocky. We have to focus on Fairview and just hit them hard. As long as we play as a team and work hard, I feel like we can come out and rush for another 500 yards.”

Legend wound up the season with a 6-4 record.

Remy is a junior but the Titans’ top two receivers, Elijah Cherrington and Cody Dengal, are seniors, along with running back Joshua Miskol.

Cherrington caught 10 passes for 213 yards and two TDs against the Huskies while Dengal had five catches for 99 yards and a touchdown.

“We had a good season,” said Legend coach Rob Doyle. “It was our first trip to the playoffs and first winning season. We were disappointed in the result of the game but very proud of what our kids accomplished this year.”

Ponderosa 10th at state gymnastics Cherry Creek � nishes � � h in competition By Scott Stocker Special to Colorado Community Media

Cherry Creek’s Sela Buted wished she could have done a bit better in the Class 5A state gymnastics meet at Thornton High School on Nov. 1-2. But when an individu-al comes away with a gold medal in at least one event, there are certainly smiles.

Buted scored a solid 9.775 to win gold on the balance beam, just edging Broom-fi eld’s Sarah Holbrook, who scored 9.725. Yet, she had hoped that her team could have done a lot better as well.

Overland just nipped Broomfi eld for

the team championship with a score of 187.95 to Broomfi eld’s 187.5.

Cherry Creek, coached by Melissa Holmberg, had to settle for fi fth in the team standings, scoring 182.575.

Buted tied for second on fl oor with Holbrook, scoring 9.65, but the tiebreaker went to her opponent, thus taking home the bronze medal instead. She did not qualify for the fi nals in either the uneven bars or vault. The fl oor was won by Over-land’s Devin Bundas (9.675).

“This whole season we’ve worked hard and today we had one of our best meets of the season,” Buted said. “Thankfully, it comes at state. We did the best with what we have right now. We pushed hard and I’m so proud of our team.

Ponderosa fi nished 10th in the team competition with 173.225 points

“The girls did better than we thought and it has just been great, just unexplain-able as to how they’ve been able to react and exceed expectations,” Ponderosa coach Lisa Fischer said during the Nov. 1 competition. “This has been one of the most fun state meets and I just don’t know how we’ll fi nish. I’ve just been so excited for the girls. This is a very young team and this is such a valuable experience.”

The Ponderosa girls were excited, but they, too, knew they were in for a very competitive weekend.

There was disappointment on not reach the fi nals, but they looked upon it as a good key for next season. While not coming away with medals, the Mustangs’ Miranda Mickelsen, McKenna Moede and Cara Redalen were pleased with how the season fi nished.

“I was staying focused and happy and just wanted to make sure that I was able to try my best,” said Miranda Mickelsen. “I’m a senior and this is my last time. I just wanted to throw it all out on the fl oor and overcome any obstacles. I had my high this season on beam. I’m so sad the season is over.”

“The key for me was having the team here,” said Moede. “We’ve worked hard to-gether and we didn’t have our best fl oor. I just wanted to stay focused. I was excited as this was the fi rst time we’ve made it in four years. I think this is a good way to get us ready for next season.”

Added Redalen: “Floor seemed to bring out the best in all of us and we had our best score this season as a team. I was excited. This was a good way to go out this season and will help us build for next year.”

McPherson’s preps career nearly perfect Creek senior garners four state tennis titles By Jim Benton [email protected]

There are trite notions that nothing or nobody is perfect.

Connor McPherson admits he isn’t per-fect but it’s pretty hard to argue that his re-cently completed high school career wasn’t near-perfect.

McPherson won his second consecutive state No. 2 singles championship Oct. 12 at Gates Tennis Center after capturing the No. 3 doubles titles as a freshman and sopho-more.

The Cherry Creek High School senior was selected as the Colorado Community Media South Metro Tennis Player of the Year.

Cherry Creek set a team scoring record in winning the state championship for the 38th time in 41 years, and McPherson add-ed a fourth state title to his resume.

“There was defi nitely a lot more pres-sure this year because everybody was talk-ing about it (winning a fourth title),” he said. “It was defi nitely in the back of my mind, but I tried to keep it in the back of my mind, focus on what I had to do and try not to make it too big of a deal.

“It was the perfect season. I couldn’t have seen it going any better. Sweeping state hasn’t happened since 1998. To be able to go out senior year like that was just incredible.”

McPherson, however, wasn’t fl awless. He fi nished the season 20-1, with his one loss coming against eventual Class 4A No. 2 singles champion Willie Gold of Kent Den-ver.

“Defi nitely that helped me,” said McPherson. “I lost at least a match every year and it kind of wakes you up, makes you realize you have to keep working hard and it’s not going to be easy. It pushed me to work that much harder.”

McPherson was unable to play No. 1

singles this fall when Zach Fryer returned to Creek for his senior season after play-ing USTA events. Fryer was unbeaten, and was the state’s No. 2 singles champion as a Creek sophomore and captured the state No. 1 singles title last month.

“Of course I wanted to be No. 1,” con-fessed McPherson. “I tried hard for it. Zach’s my good friend. I’m happy he came back and played with us. He helped the team out a lot.

“He and I defi nitely pushed each oth-er, especially in practice. We were always working to make each other better. We defi -nitely have that competitive edge with each other but we just pushed each other and made each other better.”

McPherson started playing tennis with his dad when he was 10 years ago and then a few years later had to tab tennis rather than baseball as the sport he wanted to pursue.

“I feel like I have improved immensely since my freshman year,” said McPherson. “The best way to improve is hitting with people that are better than you.

“That’s what I got a chance to do through my four years, and playing doubles was great for my game. You get all aspects of the game through doubles. Even though I wouldn’t be able to be at the top position, being able to play with the best of the best is pretty cool.”

‘American Mustang’ coming to museum By Sta� report

The Wildlife Experience and Denver Film Society are partnering to screen “American Mustang” during the Starz Denver Film Festival.

The 36th Starz Denver Film Festival, sponsored by Starz Entertainment and produced by the Denver Film Society, announced its full festival lineup, and The Wildlife Experience is screening “American Mustang” on Nov. 10.

“American Mustang” is a documen-tary presented in 3-D that examines the plight of wild horses in the Ameri-can West while considering their place in the national psyche.

Produced by area native, Ellie Phipps Price, the fi lm combines a his-torical overview with sweeping foot-age of its majestic four-legged pro-tagonists. The fi lm also weaves in a narrative interlude involving a young woman on a quest to help protect the

mustangs and a modern-day cowboy who shows us what it’s like to break a stallion by gently earning its trust.

Tickets are on sale for $10 in ad-vance or $12 at the door (if available), or by calling 720-488-3344. Doors open at 6 p.m. Film begins at 7 p.m. The fi lm-makers will be attending to introduce the fi lm and answer questions.
