THE TOP 13 SOUTH METRO STORIES OF 2013 A look back at the news that le� the biggest impression last year Sta� report

The south metro Denver area saw no

shortage of news — or controversy — in 2013, making it a tough task to narrow down the contenders for our stories-of-the-year package.

The newsroom staff of Colorado Com-munity Media has whittled the list down to 13 for 2013. They are listed in no particu-lar order, aside from the story of the year, the Arapahoe High School shooting, which horrifi ed us all.

You can decide how the other 12 should be ranked.

School shooting at Arapahoe HighAn 18-year-old student entered Arapa-

hoe High School, home of the Warriors, on Dec. 13, shot a fellow student in the head, then killed himself. Authorities believe the gunman, an Arapahoe High senior, was targeting a faculty member, but was pre-pared to cause mass casualties at the Cen-tennial school.

Claire Davis, a 17-year-old senior at the school, spent more than a week in critical condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital.

She died Dec. 21.In the days following the shooting,

community support poured in for Davis

in the form of prayers, vigils and a tribute outside a fence at the school that included gifts, fl owers and cards from people from around the area. “Warrior strong” and “Warriors always take care of one another” could be seen on signs across the area.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Rob-inson praised the quick response of the school resource offi cer after Karl Pierson began shooting at around 12:30 p.m. Dec. 13. With the resource offi cer fast approach-ing, Pierson took his own life about 80 sec-onds after fi ring his fi rst shot.

Since the shooting, classes have been canceled at Arapahoe High School. They are scheduled to resume next week.

District to appeal judge’s � nding DCSD found to have violated campaign act with report By Jane Reuter [email protected]

The Douglas County School District will appeal a judge’s ruling that it violated the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act and attempted to infl uence the outcome of the recent school board election.

The ruling was in re-sponse to a mid-October complaint fi led with the Colorado Secretary of State by unsuccessful school board candidate Julie Keim. She alleged DCSD used district re-sources to support its preferred candidates, and Administrative Law Judge Hollyce Farrell agreed.

Those four ultimately successful can-didates — Doug Benevento, Jim Geddes, Judi Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn — support the school district’s education-reform policies.

Farrell’s fi nding of a violation applied to only one of several claims — a district-fi nanced report praising the reforms that was emailed to potential voters — that Keim’s attorney presented during two days of testimony. But the former candidate said it was the key piece of evidence.

“We were really looking for the fi nding on that report, because that was the direct connection of using taxpayer resources to fi nance a political agenda,” Keim said,

Exercises train aging brains Parker business aims to improve mental function By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

Mental decline is widely viewed as an inevitable part of growing old. A Parker man is among those who say it doesn’t have to be.

Torsten Jess, a cognitive enhancement specialist and founder of Brain Function Optimization, LLC, has spent 16 years treating those with age-associated memo-ry loss and mild cognitive impairments. It is his assertion that mental deterioration is not only avoidable, but that simple ex-ercises can actually improve brain func-tion with age.

“By doing cognitive training, it has been proven that we can develop more connections in the brain,” he said.

Jess treats a handful of people with brain damage caused by traumatic inju-ries, but mostly works with patients who have been diagnosed with mild cases of

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. More often than not, he performs his job in a patient’s home or at assisted-living centers in Parker, Castle Rock, Aurora, Denver and all points in be-tween.

Using everything from pencil and pa-per to computer programs, Jess employs a range of “evidence-based” tasks that focus on memory, problem-solving and speed of processing, he said. After doing two ses-sions per week for six weeks, he instructs the patients to apply the treatments to real-world situations.

“They’re introduced in an incremental and well-planned out manner,” Jess said. “We’re able to target specifi c areas where the person is having problems.”

Jess’s expertise in speech and language pathology is not by accident. He began undergoing speech therapy at a young age for a pronounced stutter. It was the subtle but effective manipulation of the brain that drove him into the fi eld.

“I began to appreciate the workings of the brain and also the potential of it,” he said.

Cognitive training is everywhere, and

the tech world is no different. Popular applications like Lumosity, a computer-based training platform that uses games to improve reasoning, are a good step, but Jess says it’s only a small piece of the puz-zle. Staying socially active, for example, is crucial in maintaining a healthy, well-rounded brain.

Cognitive impairment can impact ev-eryday tasks, such as budgeting, planning for meals, cleaning, running errands and remembering to take medications. Those who exhibit poor decision-making are at risk of losing their independence and jeopardize their personal safety, Jess says. Repetition of mental exercises is impor-tant to connecting neurons and shifting the odds in the patient’s favor.

“All of our brains are malleable. They can be shaped and altered, they can be improved upon,” he said. “I have actually seen some pretty remarkable people who have had some pretty considerable defi -cits that have turned it around. It’s almost like a high for me to help somebody out.”

Parker Water district reaches outJoint efforts key to maximizing available water in areaBy Chris [email protected]

The world of water service has long been dominated by a “me first” attitude, but that’s all changing.

Significant steps toward regional coop-eration have been made, with the Parker Water and Sanitation District leading the charge in Douglas County. In recent years, the district offered storage opportunities in Rueter-Hess Reservoir to neighboring entities as part of a concerted effort to re-duce the county’s reliance on groundwa-ter.

The latest move was signing the WISE agreement, a joint partnership that will bring an average of 10,000 acre-feet of re-cycled water annually from Denver and Aurora to providers in the south metro area.

The PWSD hosted three state legisla-tors — Rep. Chris Holbert (R-District 44), Rep. Polly Lawrence (R-District 39) and Rep. Frank McNulty (R-District 43) — for a meeting Dec. 12 to discuss collaborative efforts. The meeting was also intended, in part, to “bridge the gap,” said Susan Saint Vincent, director of business solutions for the district.

Because Parker Water is a medium-sized district without the clout of larger players like Denver and Aurora, officials wants to ensure it is adequately represent-ed at the state level.

“We want to make sure they understand that when they create legislation, it creates additional costs,” Saint Vincent said. “Our ratepayers feel it more because we don’t have as many people to spread those costs across.”

The legislators in attendance encour-aged district leaders to bring their at-tention to any bills that might have a detrimental impact. The PWSD has two lobbyists on its payroll to help plan strat-egies and communicate with lawmakers.

The Dec. 12 meeting comes on the heels of a fall visit from U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner (R-District 4), who toured district facilities.

The state representatives made tenta-tive plans to meet with the PWSD again in June.

• A separate discussion Dec. 12 focused on legislation that could potentially im-pact elections for special districts, Saint Vincent said. The Parker Water and Sani-tation District has a board election sched-uled for May.

• District board members spoke about the future of Rueter-Hess Reservoir and the prospect of introducing recreation at the site. The PWSD made a presentation to Castle Rock in December about adding recreational amenities that could reduce expenses for existing customers.

• PWSD officials discussed their in-volvement in various projects along the Cherry Creek basin that are intended to maximize the use of available water in the most cost-effective manner.

Library dropping � nes on some kids’ books Policy change based on research that predicts academic success By Jane Reuter [email protected]

In a move aimed at deepening a child-hood love of reading, Douglas County Libraries plans to stop charging overdue fi nes on many children’s books. The new policy applies to illustrated juvenile books and takes effect Jan. 17.

“I want two outcomes (from this),” said library district director Jamie LaRue. “One is more books in people’s homes. The sec-ond is that I want people to understand that there is no better investment they can make in the mind of their child than to get as many books in front of them as pos-sible.”

The fi ne-free policy doesn’t apply to all children’s materials, but to those he de-scribes as picture books.

“These are the large colorful books, typ-ically with an illustration on each page but also a great deal of text,” LaRue said. “They tend to be the books that are read to them by the parents.”

The books, he said, “probably constitute the bulk of our business. After DVDs, we check out more of these than we do any-thing else. But I keep running across par-ents who tell me really shame-facedly, `I have so many fi nes.’ Once I heard a mother say to her son, `You can only check out one book this week because we have so many fi nes.’

“I thought, why am I punishing people who are doing the right thing for their chil-dren? Take out 20 books. Read them all.”

LaRue’s belief in the power of books stems from research, including the results of a 20-year study published in the journal, “Research in Social Stratifi cation and Mo-bility.” It showed the importance of early exposure to books — lots of books.

Data compiled from 27 countries showed that children in homes with a 500-book library or greater achieve a higher level of education than those with less exposure to books. The positive infl uence of home libraries, the study said, crosses cultural and income levels, and boosts a child’s chances for academic success re-gardless of the parents’ literacy level.

The abolishment of fi nes doesn’t mean the books are free for the taking. If a book isn’t returned after six weeks, it will be cat-egorized as “lost” and subject to replace-ment cost. But no fi nes will be assessed on picture books returned at any time after the due date.

The policy isn’t yet permanent, either. Library staff will track the project through 2014 to see if it achieves the desired goal of increasing picture book circulation. Based on those results, they’ll recommend whether to continue the practice.

LaRue, who’d been pondering the idea for some time, is retiring in January and said his pending departure prompted him to move forward with the idea.

“This is my swan song,” he said. “It’s something that’s kind of bothered me, and this will be my last chance to do something about it.”

DCL isn’t the fi rst system to try the fi ne-free approach. Denver Public Library no longer assesses fi nes on overdue children’s materials, and some library proponents, in what has become a hot-button issue, be-lieve the fees drive people away from the public system in favor of buying books.

Ponderosa ValleyPonderosa Valley

WAKING TO A NEW REALITYAs painful as the grieving process can be, it provides a way for those mourning the loss of a loved one to become reconciled to a new reality. Directly facing the death of a loved one enables grieving individuals to emerge from the experience stronger when they embrace the process. Making their way through the various steps in the grieving process naturally stimulates the development of emotional coping skills and a new awareness of life’s priorities. It has the potential to mature us. By mourning, we gain a sense of the lost relationship, and we can start to retain the positive and loving aspects of it. From that point on, we

assume a new place in the world.

At PONDEROSA VALLEY FUNERAL SERVICES, our caring and compassionate staff understands that you are grieving when you lose a loved one. We are here to assure that you are treated with kindness, that your requests are honored, and that your wishes are respected. We are available for you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (303) 841-2405. You are invited to tour our tastefully appointed facility, conveniently located at 10470 So. Progress Way at Plaza Drive. We are family owned and operated.

“As long as I can I will look at this world for both of us. As long as I can I will laugh with the birds, I will sing with the flowers, I will pray to the stars, for both of us.”

PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY Memory care expansion breaks ground

A new, $6 million memory care expansion project broke ground last month near Mainstreet and Dransfeldt Road. The 24-apartment expansion is part of the growing campus of Parker Assisted Living by MorningStar, where the principal building opened in September 2012. The ad-dition is expected to be completed in summer 2014.

Parker Memory Care, together with the existing 19 apartments of memory care in the existing building, focuses on individualized care of those with mild to advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Parker Memory Care will offer an additional 24 studio and one- bedroom apartments, all with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, in a one-story building adja-cent to the existing Parker Assisted Living.

The campus will ultimately triple in size with the addi-tion of a four-story building with 103 apartments for both assisted living and independent living. Opening in 2015,

it will feature an indoor pool, fi tness center, penthouse apartments, and a community room for residents and extended family gatherings.

Development of the property is a joint venture between Faestel Properties and the Hachmeister Group, both Denver based real estate developers. The builder for this project is JHL Constructors, the architect is Lantz-Boggio and the interior designer is Thoma-Holec Design.

Renowned artist’s exhibit coming to PACEJay Moore, a nationally renowned artist who has raised

his family in Parker for the past 16 years, will show some of his work during an exhibit at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center.

The exhibit by Moore, whose studio and gallery are in the heart of downtown Parker, runs Jan. 11 to March 8. As a Colorado native, Moore loves wilderness and backcoun-try and travels the West in search of beauty. His trademark is the ability to capture the serenity of nature in every sea-son, from colorful autumn foliage to icy rivers in the heart of winter. He is especially adept at painting the effects of water, rendering refl ections, ocean vistas, and meander-ing rivers with affection and skill.

His latest show, “Close to Home,” is appropriately titled, as Moore lives and works in Parker, and draws much of his inspiration from the area. The exhibition is unique because it is the only one that takes visitors through Moore’s working process. Beginning with initial fi eld sketches, and journeying though color studies, jour-nals, fi eld painting boxes and fi nally the fi nished product, visitors will get an intimate glimpse into the creation of the exhibition’s largest painting, “Autumn Brilliance.” An opening reception is scheduled for 5 to 8 p.m. Jan. 17.

Hilbert earns service awardColorado Counties Inc. named Douglas County Com-

missioner Jack Hilbert as the 2013 CCI Distinguished Service Award recipient

The award is given to a Colorado County Commission-er recognized for unselfi sh service and one who often sets the standard by which commissioners can measure their accomplishments and commitment. Singled-out by his peers, Hilbert received the Distinguished Service Award as one who “regularly and unselfi shly devotes time and en-ergy to the `greater good’ whether that is in the Commis-sioner’s county, region or throughout the state,” according to CCI award criteria. In determining the recipient of this award each year, the awards committee evaluates length of service as a commissioner and the individual commis-sioner’s contributions to CCI over time.

“The only experience more humbling and rewarding than being recognized by your peers across the state for your commitment to the service of Douglas County and the State of Colorado is the privilege of doing so,” Hilbert said.

“Commissioner Hilbert lives what he preaches about engagement in public policy — as a county commissioner, CCI Board member, and ultimately as president of the as-sociation,” said Chip Taylor, executive director of CCI.

For more information about Hilbert’s service to Doug-las County and Colorado, visit www.douglas.co.us/com-missioners/. CCI is a nonprofi t, membership association whose purpose is to offer assistance to county commis-sioners, mayors and council members and to encourage counties to work together on common issues.

Rotary names students of the month Sta� report

Parker Rotary named its respective students of the month from Chapar-ral and Ponderosa high schools for the month of December.

Chaparral senior Michael Hen-derson brought home the top honors at his school, boasting a 4.15 grade-point average, good enough to rank eighth in his class of 448.

Henderson is enrolled in four ad-vanced placement courses, and as a member of the National Honor Soci-

ety, he has lettered academically all four years.

He also plays tennis and is in-volved in student government, serv-ing as senior class vice president. He plans to attend the University of Washington and major in English.

Ponderosa High School senior Frederick Tan earned his school’s student of the month, while holding down a 4.32 GPA that ranks second in his class of 304.

Tan, the school’s honor society president, is a talented musician and has been the second-chair bassoon-

ist in the all-state orchestra and fi rst chair in the Colorado Honor Band.

Tan has also competed in four years of varsity cross country, junior varsity wrestling and varsity track.

His community service includes participation in the Ponderosa Bridge Project raising money for an orphanage in Mozambique, and Proj-ect Hobby Tree to plan and organize community service opportunities for students.

He hopes to attend Stanford Uni-versity, but is undecided on his area of study and career goals.

NEW!

of representatives from Douglas, Arapa-hoe and Jefferson counties, the Highlands Ranch Metro District and cities of Littleton, Lone Tree and Centennial — unanimously approved funding a $230 million widening project of C-470 through the construction of 13.1 miles worth of managed toll lanes in both directions between Kipling and I-25.

While construction on the C-470 proj-ect — which was awarded $100 million in RAMP funding on behalf of the Colorado Department of Transportation this fall — won’t get underway until 2015, road work dotted the south metro landscape in 2013.

Two major projects wound to a close in the latter months of the year, includ-ing the widening of US 85 between High-lands Ranch and Louviers, as well as the Broadway/C-470 intersection project, which took over a year to complete.

Douglas County spent almost as much money on road maintenance in Highlands Ranch in 2013, $18.3 million, as it did in the previous seven years combined, $21.6 mil-lion. A similar amount of work, mostly con-crete maintenance, is slated for 2014.

The C-470 widening project is expected to be 100 percent complete by January 2018.

The first civil unionsIn a year that saw the Defense of Mar-

riage Act deemed unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court, Colorado became the sixth state in the union to approve civil unions for same-sex couples this March, joining 10 other states where gay marriage is legal.

Receiving unanimous support from Senate and House Democrats, SB-11 also picked up three Republican votes along the way, including one from Carole Murray (HD-45) of Castle Rock. Murray said it is not for her to judge others; that should be left to God.

Neither Douglas nor Arapahoe County celebrated with midnight unions May 1, the first day couples were allowed to form a legal union, but there were couples in line when both county buildings opened for business that morning.

“I didn’t ever think I would see this day,” said Jan Friedlander, who became legally bound to her partner of 26 years, Cynthia Kristensen in Castle Rock.

Englewood’s Depot dilemmaThe future of the Englewood Depot was

in the news a lot in 2013, particularly the objections raised over the city’s decision to sell the building to a Denver couple instead of keeping it in local hands.

Railroad officials closed the depot in the 1950s and it sat empty until the 1990s when Englewood residents rallied to save it from demolition, resulting in the building’s move to its current location at Galapago Street and Dartmouth Avenue.

The initial plans were to restore it and make it into a museum. While some res-toration work was done, the museum idea never got off the ground. The city eventu-ally took possession of the building and, earlier this year, sought a buyer.

There were two proposals, one from the Englewood Historical Preservation Society and one from letterpress printers Tom and Patti Parsons. A selection committee unani-mously supported Parson’s proposal and council approved the sale for $30,000 de-spite numerous objections from residents and the historical preservation society.

Since the sale went final in October, Tom Parsons said he has been working on clear-ing a number of hurdles to move forward with letterpress museum plans.

Elbert County’s ‘dysfunction’Teetering on the brink of financial insol-

vency, Elbert County jolted from crisis to crisis during 2013.

Governed by a controversial Board of County Commissioners that included two self-proclaimed Tea Party loyalists — Rob-ert Rowland and Kurt Schlegel — during the course of the year, the county struggled to adopt new regulations for oil and gas explo-ration in the county.

A tug-of-war between the conservative BOCC and liberal planning commission re-sulted in the resignation of planning com-mission chair Grant Thayer in July and the firing of his successor, Paul Crisan, by the BOCC in November.

Meanwhile, former finance director Stan Wilmer was also fired in November when the county missed a set of deadlines to submit a final 2012 budget audit, a circum-stance that prompted the state to freeze disbursement of property tax revenues. As 2013 came to a close, the audit had still not been submitted to the state.

And to add insult to injury, a scathing postelection report by a local consultant blamed the BOCC for the defeat of several key bond measures proposed to shore up the county’s ailing finances. The report also blasted the BOCC for “infighting” and esca-lating “dysfunction” in the county’s leader-ship.

Apartments on rise in LittletonAfter a long dry spell, developers went

wild in Littleton, and city council approved four multifamily projects that will add about 1,200 units to the city.

All the activity stirred up a hornet’s nest. Consequences included one failed bid for council, one eight-hour public hearing, one grassroots campaign, two successful citi-zens’ initiatives and some name-calling.

But city officials are thrilled, even chang-ing the city’s motto to “Littleton: Anything but Little.” After City Manager Michael Penny took over in 2011, he went to work changing processes and regulations.

About 39 percent of Littleton’s housing is multifamily, compared to 16 percent in Douglas County and 32 percent in Denver.

Council did reject a controversial pro-posal to build 225 units east of Littleton Courthouse and has yet to review a plan for 250 more on the southwest corner of Belleview and Federal. There are 774 more units planned for as part of a mixed-use development at Santa Fe and Mineral that council approved in the 1980s, but has nev-er been developed.

Statue out, God inSome may argue that God has always

been there, and always will be — but this summer, unlike ever before, the Higher Power became visibly higher in the form of newly affixed in words on an overhang in the Castle Rock Town Council’s Chambers.

And while the words “In God We Trust,” are now an indelible part of the town hall’s ambience, a bronze sculpture affixed to a town hall stairway, was determined to be welcome no more and removed.

After Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue brought up his thoughts about wanting “In God We Trust” installed in council cham-bers, he said he also wanted removal of a sculpture — an about 8-inch-high piece that looks like a melting earth, accompanied by a plaque with the words “Global Warming.” It was one of several small bronze pieces the town’s public arts commission had bought and placed around town.

Donahue thought it could be politically contentious. After a council consensus, the sculpture left, but didn’t leave town. The sculpture was donated to a nonprofit that funds school art programs and auctioned off.

Area is open for businessSeveral big-name businesses either

opened in the area or announced plans to do so in 2013.

Perhaps the most notable addition was Cabela’s, a specialty retailer of outdoor rec-reation merchandise that hired close to 200 employees when it opened in August to much fanfare. Hundreds of die-hard sup-porters camped out ahead of the grand opening, demonstrating the level of antici-

pation for the store’s arrival.It not only filled a niche and created jobs,

but was expected to generate significant sales tax revenue and secondary economic benefits. Douglas County even funded a study that showed the store’s impact to the local economy will be around $24 million a year.

Cabela’s wasn’t the only arrival. Charles Schwab’s 1,800 Denver-area employees will soon move into three buildings in Lone Tree. The $230 million project is still taking shape on a 57-acre lot near Sky Ridge Medi-cal Center. The Schwab buildings were de-signed, in part, to attract future employees.

Pot plans up in smokeSouth-metro smokers will have to com-

mute to buy legal marijuana when sales start on Jan. 1, as every community south of Denver to Colorado Springs has either banned retail pot stores or put off a deci-sion until the big-city experiment has a chance to play out.

Not all of those governmental decisions were unanimous.

Several representatives believed allow-ing them would more accurately represent what the voters wanted and expected, and some felt like turning away a potential source of sales-tax revenue would be fool-hardy.

“I believe the voters expect us to ap-prove retail sales of marijuana in the city,” said former Littleton City Councilmember

opinions / yours and ours

Nocturnal sales pitches and worthless coinsI was warned. When I mentioned to a

friend several years ago that I was planning to move my television to the master bedroom, my friend said, “You might regret it.”

I think she was right. I now watch about 10 times as much programming as I did when the set was in the living room. The program-ming isn’t any better than it used to be — in fact, it’s worse.

Add to that some horrific visions in my room of rest, like the one I had recently when I couldn’t sleep, and simply wanted something or someone to comfort me back into the arms of Morpheus.

I turned on the television at about 3 a.m., and a man who looked exactly like entertainer Jack Cassidy — just a little too good looking — started yelling at me about quarters. He was standing right next to hundreds of shiny, uncirculated quarters, row after row of them.

For a limited time only I could own all of them, and ones that were yet to be minted — for two easy payments.

He had his pitch down perfectly, never stumbled over his words, or let on that he was a shill — which he was.

He was exceedingly annoying, but I couldn’t stop watching, or wondering how many others were watching too and reaching for their credit cards.

Here’s a flashback for you.For the final eight years of a dear friend’s

life, I fixed her Sunday breakfast. I always brought her flowers. I checked in on her during the week. A couple of times I changed her bedding because of blood, provided updates to her relatives in North Carolina, and expected nothing in return — but I was receiving many, many things in return.

She was an artist. I am an artist. She was my final mentor, and I was able to see what it

might be like to have dedicated yourself to a lifetime of art, but now it was no longer pos-sible to make art, not for her.

Her husband, a brilliant poet, died long before she did. They lived in a small house on Kearney Street off of Colfax, where Ruth and Littleton made their art and poetry.

They created during the day, and enjoyed cocktails in the evening. I never met her husband, but I sensed that he loved Ruth pro-foundly, and wanted to ensure that she would be taken care of in her last years alone.

She told me that he began to invest in coins that were advertised in magazines, that would appreciate unimaginably, and provide financial security beyond belief for anyone who possessed them.

My constant readers know that I am a skeptic. I sometimes have doubts that Thurs-days will follow Wednesdays.

When Ruth died, I was informed that I was to inherit her oil painting supplies. They hadn’t been touched in years, and were worthless to me. Imagine strangled tooth-paste tubes.

I also was awarded a houseplant. It was

monstrous, and I always said so, but I think she thought I meant that it was monstrously beautiful.

Finally, I was given all of Littleton’s coins, bags and bags of them, in neat little packets. I took the bags of coins to a coin shop on Broadway in Denver, and an employee asked me where I had gotten them.

He interrupted my story and said, “May I finish for you?”

He wanted to know if I had received them from someone whose spouse had died, but beforehand made a substantial investment in coins that would appreciate unimaginably, and provide financial security beyond belief for anyone who possessed them.

“Uh, exactly.”He smiled and said, “I’ll give you $170.”I didn’t heed my friend’s warning about a

bedroom television — but I’d like to warn you about nocturnal sales pitches for the shiny quarters of your dreams. Or nightmares.

Sincere flattery will get you absolutely everywhere OK, so maybe it’s not flattery that will get

you everywhere but rather kindness or, at a minimum, kind words.

Don’t get me wrong, flattery when sin-cerely given is not a bad place to start. The problem comes when we use flattery as a weapon or manipulative tactic instead of having it come from the truth of the heart.

Now, there are few things I enjoy more than hearing people speaking lovingly and kindly to one another. And I can assure you that as I have an opportunity to witness such sweet acts and hear such warm words, even though I am not a direct part of the conversation, it warms my heart. It inspires me to seek out opportunities to do the very same thing. And do it as quickly as possible.

You know the old saying, “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I often wonder why more people don’t subscribe to the philosophy or actually put it into practice, doing it so

often that it becomes a good habit and all that emerges from their lips are words of love, hope and encouragement. I bet you can think of a time that you had where you wish the words would have been sweeter, and the outcome much better.

Now, I know some families seem to believe that speaking harshly or even caus-tically to one another is their `norm’ and just couldn’t even imagine trying to speak words that build each other up instead of

tearing each other down.Unfortunately there are other old say-

ings that people practice that prohibit them from seeing the many benefits of speaking kindly and lovingly toward one another. Sayings like, “familiarity breeds contempt,” or “sometimes it just seems easier to say harsh things or hurt those closest to us.”

Maybe it’s time to break that cycle!Maybe our resolution for 2014 could be

to speak words of optimism, love, hope and encouragement. What would that sound like in your house, in your family, with your friends, and even with your co-workers? Maybe it will feel a little uncomfortable and even unnatural at first. But the more we do it, the more the people around us will seem to change as well.

I am not sure about you, but when I feel like the flattery is sincere or that someone is building me up through the use of kind and loving words, I feel better and every-

thing in my life feels and seems better. My relationships are stronger, work is a better place to be, and my family seems to thrive.

“I am so proud of you.” “Nice job today.” “You look beautiful.” “I am so glad you are in my life.” “Thanks for all you do for me or for us.” These are just examples, but I can promise you that when we take the focus off of the bad and we make a genuine effort to verbalize the good to everyone we encounter, it will make an enormous and positive difference in our relationships.

Are you speaking words of love, hope and encouragement? Are you operating first and foremost from a position of kind-ness? I would love to hear all about it at [email protected].

letters to the editorHealthcare a fundamental human right

Re: U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman’s December column:

Mr. Coffman, I share the concerns ex-pressed by your constituents regarding the ACA. I agree that in the wealthiest country in the world, it is reprehensible that hard-work-ing citizens (like my sister and 2 million oth-ers) have to make a choice between financial ruin and life itself.

That being said, I find your conclusions to be disingenuous and poorly reasoned. Healthcare costs have been going through the roof for decades, way before the advent of the ACA. And the rate of increase has actually leveled since the ACA. So to allude that the ACA is somehow responsible for high costs flies in the face of the evidence. But frankly, all of this misses the point.

It’s important to ask the fundamental question, why is our healthcare so expen-sive and less effective than elsewhere in the world? At its root, it’s because of the perverse incentives that emerge as a result of taking the “patient-centered, market-based ap-proach,” using your words.

These incentives emerge as a result of making the assumption that healthcare is the same as any other commodity when it comes to supply and demand. But healthcare is what economists call “price inelastic,” which means that price doesn’t drive demand. This is fundamentally because healthcare lacks the most basic characteristic of an efficient economic model: choice. When you’re faced with death or disability, choice goes out the window.

We also agree that Obamacare is not the answer, but I contend that it’s because the ACA doesn’t directly address the fundamental problem of incentives. What the ACA will do is expose the willful opacity so expertly insti-tutionalized by a set of industries that profits mightily from such opacity. As a society we have (rightly) concluded that we’re not going

to leave people to die in the street. In essence this means that healthcare is a fundamental human right as opposed to a privilege. As a society we also agree that we have the right to national security, and we all know that rights come with obligations. We live up to our national obligations by each and every one of us (who is able) pitching in for the universal good. We have a name for this: taxes.

For all these reasons and more, it is inevi-table that any sustainable delivery system must preserve healthcare as a fundamental human right in a manner that rewards cost-effective outcomes.

I only hope that we collectively come to this conclusion before we throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Obama finally takes a standOur president has, at last, finally stood up

for what he really supports. We’re all curious what it could be.

Maybe it’s decreasing unemployment, as he is always talking about jobs. No, that’s not it, as he has done nothing to alleviate the 41 percent unemployment of black youth. Perhaps it’s health care, as he is always saying how good Obamacare is. No, that can’t be it because millions of people have lost their health insurance and the Obama regime refuses to let them keep their old policies permanently.

Aha, it must be education, right. Obama’s big on education. Wrong again. The Huffing-ton Post reports that Obama has turned loose Attorney General Eric Holder to shut down the Louisiana school voucher program that helped many disadvantaged black students get a good education. The Louisiana Black Alliance For Education Options is fighting to help these children in distress.

So if Obama isn’t really interested in de-creasing unemployment, good health insur-ance, or education, what is his passion?

Incredibly, it’s Iran. Obama has stoutly supported Iran by threatening to veto a bi-partisan Senate bill that would use sanctions to curtail Iran’s building of a nuclear bomb. When you want to veto your own party, you are really passionate about your stand. No matter that all our allies in the Mideast are against this, so much so that Saudi Arabia is

looking at buying nukes from Pakistan and partnering with Israel.

Any thinking person has to wonder why Obama wants to coddle Iran, yet ignores black unemployment, good current health coverage, and education for under privileged children. Maybe that’s the problem. Those that voted for Obama weren’t thinking.

Jim Taylor before that council extended its moratorium until October 2014. “Littleton has a chance to be a leader.”

But many worried about things like crime, access by kids and their commu-nity’s image.

“You never want to bring in revenue that’s going to negatively impact your community,” said Castle Pines Mayor Mark Towne before his council voted to ban sales.

Parker’s prairie dog mysteryQuestions swirled after a prairie dog

colony on the northeast corner of Main-street and Twenty Mile Road in Parker was wiped out in mid-September, upsetting residents who drive and walk by the site every day. Tiny white crosses, with mes-sages saying “RIP Prairie Dogs,” appeared on the empty burrows about a week later, with no one claiming responsibility.

A spokeswoman for the Town of Parker said the community development depart-ment does not regulate the elimination of prairie dogs on private property, and that no violations were committed because the species is not protected.

One of the many property owners on the corner confi rmed that there were no pending development applications, lead-ing residents to question the need for such action. The property owner said he did not know who ordered the extermination of the colony. Several witnesses claimed they

had either seen or talked to the men who were spraying a chemical gas into the bur-rows. Weeks later, employees of businesses adjacent to the barren colony became at-tached to a lone survivor.

School issues divide DouglasThe Douglas County School Board elec-

tions divided the county for months lead-ing up to the Nov. 5 decision.

Four candidates endorsed by the Doug-las County Republicans and supportive of the district’s controversial education re-forms — two of them incumbents — ulti-mately won the contentious race. They de-feated four challengers seeking to change the way the district is being run.

Parents and teachers campaigned by painting car windows with the names of their preferred candidates and waving signs at busy intersections throughout the county. Supporters on both sides ran advertisements, hired canvassers and dis-tributed a variety of campaign material.

As the year closes, school board mem-bers attempt to move forward and resolve to increase community input, even as some express continued discontent with recently enacted policy changes.

Tackling a mountainLabeling it a “top priority” for 2013,

South Metro Denver Chamber President John Brackney led the charge locally to promote the “Fix the Debt” campaign — a national, bipartisan, grassroots effort to resolve “the nation’s ongoing debt crisis.”

Brackney spent a great deal of time speaking about the issue and visiting com-munities across the state to lobby commis-

sioners, mayors and other local leaders to get behind the movement.

“Decisions in Washington affect busi-nesses outside the beltway,” Brackney said. “Congress and the president must act now … to create greater market certainty” and “put our country back on a track of fi s-cal sanity.”

Across the state, backing for the cam-paign grew during the year, bolstered by support from Congressmen Mike Coffman and Ed Pearlmutter and U.S. Sen. Michael Bennett as well as former Colorado Gov. Dick Lamm.

“I believe this is the most important issue facing the United States right now,” said Rick Whipple, a Littleton CPA and chairman of the South Metro chamber, who along with Brackney and other busi-ness leaders, made multiple trips to Wash-ington during 2013 to urge lawmakers to come together to achieve a major debt-reform plan.

Sterling Ranch approved, againFor the second time in three years, the

Sterling Ranch planned development in northwest Douglas County was unani-mously approved by the Douglas County commissioners. The project — which calls for a 12,050-home community located on

3,400 acres northeast of Roxborough State Park — was approved July 10 and hopes to break ground in the next couple of months.

After successfully halting the Sterling Ranch development once already over is-sues of suffi cient water, the neighbors to the north, the Chatfi eld Community As-sociation, fi led another legal challenge this August against the development, ask-ing the 18th Judicial District court to once again review the commissioners’ decision to approve.

While early in 2013 Sterling Ranch reached contractual agreements to obtain the necessary water through its provider, Dominion Water and Sanitation District, and signed on to the WISE (Water Infra-structure and Supply Effi ciency) Partner-ship agreement to obtain renewable water from Aurora and Denver, opponents state that the commissioners demonstrated an “abuse of discretion” and “acted outside their jurisdiction and authority” by ap-proving the development a second time.

Despite the pending legal tie-up, Ster-ling Ranch managing director Harold Sme-thills said they are ready to fi nally move forward and build homes. The developers selected Richmond American Homes of Colorado as their primary builder in Au-gust.

Parker � ight attendant, artist paints on layovers By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

Paris, Venice, Switzerland, Beijing and more…

“It’s been a good ride,” said painter Paul Valdez of his two-track career as a fl ight attendant and artist. A Parker resi-dent since 1987, he has been traveling and painting on layovers for 38 years, he said. About seven years ago, he began to teach painting when in town, for the Greater Castle Rock Artists Guild and elsewhere, with class schedules fl uctu-ating according to fl ight schedules. He recently held a 40-year retrospective at Parker’s Mainstreet Center.

Valdez now fl ies nine days in a month and is enjoying routes to Asia — and painting in China. “I trans-

ferred to a De-troit base to do Asia,” he ex-plains. His all-time favorite places to paint are in Paris — where he sits outside and works, sometimes selling a work off the easel to a tourist — and in Venice, where he was painting along the edge of a canal, when a gondola passenger bought a painting.

It’s been a nice source of extra income, he said. “We had a really

nice dinner that night,” he said, refl ecting on the Venice sale. His wife is also a fl ight attendant, gets to share some of the trips with him.

Valdez, who carries watercolors for anything over a 24-hour layover, will have

a solo exhibit at Littleton Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery from Jan. 8 to Feb. 13. There will be an artist’s reception from 5:30 to 7:70 p.m. on January 18.

Opening in the upstairs theater Jan. 17 is the comedy “Boeing, Boeing,” about a guy who is juggling three stewardess girl-friends and their various schedules. Val-dez’ show is part of Stanton Gallery coor-dinator Nancy Boyson’s effort to relate the art to what’s showing in the theater.

When Valdez is painting along the banks of the Seine or elsewhere, tourists have often mistaken him for a Parisian, he recalls happily.

He says, “I always leave a bit of soul in each (painting).” His exhibit will include paintings from Europe, a recent image of a large park in China and a few of his latest abstracts.

One abstract was infl uenced by a fl ight over Beijing, en route to Shanghai on Chi-nese New Year. “I could see tons of fi re-

works going off,” he said. “Smoke from all the fi recrackers created a glowing haze that was incredibly surreal.”

His theme is “from above. Designs are everywhere, you only have to observe.”

An upcoming adventure: Valdez will conduct a painting tour to Giverny and the Monet Gardens from May 22 to 29. “I met somebody who knew somebody,” he said and was able to arrange garden paint-ing time before and after hours — before the tourist crowds arrive. Painters will stay in a Giverny B&B for seven nights and also be transported to nearby locations to paint during the day. Estimated cost: $2,900, plus air travel to Paris. The dead-line to register is Jan. 21.

For information, visit Valdez’ website: pauljvaldez.com, or call Rich, 770-977-3434, e-mail [email protected], or call Valdez, 303-870-5586.

Moe’s BBQ adds fourth locale

Moe’s Original Bar B Que & Bowling has expanded its empire to a new spot in Aurora.

Located in an old Walgreen’s at 2727 S. Parker Road (corner of Yale and Parker; my old Aurora ‘hood), the spanking new Moe’s opened on Dec. 12.

Besides the fl avorful barbecue, Moe’s has eight bowling lanes, an upstairs arcade and a large bar.

Moe’s now has four locations: The origi-nal at 3295 S. Broadway in Englewood; 530 Broadway in Denver and 2589 S. Lewis Way in Lakewood. More info: www.moesdenver.com.

Raising a glassCRL Associates chief operating offi cer and

Denver City Council hopeful Roger Shermanheld his annual toast to the staff at The Palm restaurant in the Tabor Center on Friday, Dec. 20.

The seven-year tradition started when an unexpected winter blizzard derailed Sher-man’s fl ight plans and cancelled his trip to Chicago. He diverted to The Palm with his friend and co-worker Cathie Greig, who again joined Sherman at Friday’s sip soiree.

Sherman, Greig and co-workers at the lo-cal government relations powerhouse CRL Associates raised a glass of 2001 Jordan Cab-ernet Sauvignon with the staff at The Palm - from managers to dishwashers — who crammed inside the bar for the much-antici-pated occasion fi nanced by Sherman.

“We have so much to be thankful for, and this has become something we look forward to each Christmas,” Sherman said. The toast-ers tipped back two jeroboam (double mag-nums) of the Jordan Cab.

Parr’s death shocks restaurant communityDenver’s restaurant world was rocked

Dec. 21 in the aftermath of the news of Jeff Parr’s death.

Parr, who was 43, reportedly died in his sleep Dec. 20. Leigh Sullivan, who was part-ners with Parr in the restaurant consultancy company Leigh Sullivan Enterprises, said that Parr wasn’t feeling well that night, went to bed and never woke up.

“He was a very happy man, so that is giv-ing me some comfort,” said Denver chef Jen-na Johansen.

Parr’s restaurant resume is extensive: Before joining Sullivan, he spent stints with Sage Restaurant Group, Loews Hotels, Qdoba Mexican Grill and Levy Restaurants (Wellshire Inn, Pepsi Center).

Perhaps the most eloquent tribute to Parr came from close friend Paul “Berrick” Abramson who wrote, “God took one of the good ones from us last night. Jeffrey Parr was an amazing father and husband, a truly great friend and one of the fi nest human beings I’ve known. Always there with a smile, eager to help a friend or stranger, energized by be-ing part of the community and absolutely driven, grounded and consumed by his love for his wife (Libby Pollock) and son (Brook-lyn Beau, age 4).”

In addition to his wife and son, Parr is also survived by his brother, Andrew Parr, and fa-ther, Shep Parr.

A RECORD-BREAKING RUNMcCaffrey punctuates career with another state title, more awardsBy Jim [email protected]

Watching Christian McCaffrey play foot-ball reminds many people of the lyrics to the song, Mr. Touchdown USA.

As Hugo Winterhalter’s tune says, “give him the ball and just look at him go.”

McCaffrey, the Valor Christian running back who has committed to play football at Stanford, was a threat each time he had the football this season en route to helping the Eagles to their fifth consecutive Colorado state championship.

And for the second straight year, the 6-foot, 195-pound senior has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Offensive Player of the Year.

“He has to be considered as one of the best in the state all-time,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman, whose team overpowered most of its opponents during the season. “In the month of October he had 17 carries the entire month. He never once was frus-trated with that; he never once was disap-pointed he didn’t touch the ball more. He was thankful his teammates got the oppor-tunity.

“It’s his character, his leadership. He practices harder than anyone in our pro-gram and we have a lot of guys that practice hard. He’s the best practice player I’ve ever coached. On the field I think his versatility is what sets him apart from others. If we would have given him 20 carries a game I am assuming he would own every state re-cord for rushing.”

Other players who were in contention for Offensive Player of the Year honors in-cluded ThunderRidge quarterback Brody Westmoreland, Douglas County running back Trey Smith, Cherry Creek running back Milo Hall and tackles Sam Jones of ThunderRidge and Isaiah Holland of Valor Christian.

McCaffrey rushed for 1,863 yards on 157 carries and scored 27 touchdowns during the 2013 campaign. He caught 39 passes for 721 yards and 16 TDs. He also punted nine times for an average of 41.2 yards, returned 10 punts for 296 yards and two scores and had five kickoff returns for 107 yards.

Defensively, McCaffrey was used spar-ingly but had one sack, three pass break-ups, two interceptions and one defensive score.

A two-time Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year, McCaffrey has led Valor to state championships in each of his four seasons. The Eagles whipped Fairview 56-16 Nov. 30 at Sports Authority Field to win their sec-ond consecutive Class 5A title and Knights defensive end Carlo Kemp was nothing

short of impressed after playing against McCaffrey.

“He is the best player in the state with the way he runs and the way he fines holes,” Kemp told BoCoPreps. “He’s robotic. I don’t think he’s human. He changed the way we prepared on defense and he got the better of us.”

McCaffrey’s uncanny career statistics place him second all-time in the Colorado records books for points (848), touchdowns (141) and TD receptions (47), and first with 8,456 all-purpose yards. He also ranks first in the 11-player ranks for touchdowns and points.

“It’s been a really fun ride,” McCaffrey recounted. “I can remember back to my freshman year playing with my brother (Max) and all his buddies. I wouldn’t take

any of it back.“I definitely feel I improved in multiple

aspects this season; the experience, getting comfortable and not getting as nervous be-fore games. I’ve gained some weight and improved on my speed and quickness.”

McCaffrey showed the ability to gain the tough yards inside the tackles and still dis-played quickness and elusiveness on the outside.

“He’s the whole package,” said Sherman. “Early in his career he was more of an edge runner. This year he’s shown he can get five yards between the tackles. He understands the difference of when to do that and when to bounce it outside.

“People often ask me if he is going to Stanford to be a running back. Absolutely he is going to be a running back. They can

run option routes with him, flank out and he is arguably the best kick and punt re-turner in the state.

Valor grad gets title shot with AuburnKozan named to SEC All-Freshman teamBy Jim [email protected]

Alex Kozan competed for a starting job on the Auburn offensive line as a true fresh-man a year ago but reckoned he wasn’t physically ready.

So he redshirted during the 2012 cam-paign and this season Kozan has been part of a solid offensive line that helped Auburn lead the nation in rushing with an average of 335.7 yards per game.

Kozan, a 6-foot-4, 297-pound, former Valor Christian standout who lives in Cas-

tle Pines North, has started all 13 Auburn games this season at left guard and was named to the Southeast Conference All-Freshman team.

After playing in three championship games with Valor and the SEC title game against Missouri with the Tigers, Kozan will line up in the NCAA championship game versus top-ranked Florida State Jan. 6 in Pasadena, Calif.

“Last year during fall camp I competed for a starting job,” recalled Kozan. “I felt mentally I was there. I knew all my assign-ments but I just wasn’t quite there strength-wise and athleticism-wise. That and the transition from tackle to guard made it a little tougher.

“I redshirted last year but still traveled to all the games, saw what was going on and

kind of learned what I needed to do. So I just attacked the offseason and tried to get to the point where I could become a starter and that’s what I was able to do.”

Kozan played between center Reese Dismuke and left tackle Greg Robinson this season and admits those two players helped him to make the necessary adjust-ments early on.

“Alex has had an excellent year,” head coach Gus Malzahn told Al.com. “He’s a great competitor. He’s a tough guy. He’s got-ten better and better each game.”

Kozan, who had offers from 30 Division I schools before signing with Auburn, is part of a major Tigers’ turnaround as Auburn re-bounded from a 3-9 campaign in 2012 to go 12-1 this season. According to Kozan, two games this fall provided the Tigers with the

belief they felt they needed to beat teams like No. 1 Alabama and Missouri and propel the team into the national title game.

“The second half of LSU (the lone Tigers loss) after we came out pretty flat in the first half,” said Kozan. “We competed pretty well with those guys the second half.

“And, the Texas A&M game. They were in the top 10 at the time. Johnny Football (A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel) hadn’t really been stopped by anybody. We were able to go in and execute a two-minute drive to get the lead and our defense was able to stop Manziel and we pulled out the win. That was definitely another moment when we felt like we could compete with anybody.”

Kozan continues on Page 11

The right chemistryThere are no statistics for offensive

linemen except for maybe knockdown blocks and Kozan has averaged nearly six of those per game.

“This offensive (scheme) fits the play-ers in our system a little better,” said Ko-zan. “Coach Malzahn was the offensive coordinator here two years ago and he re-cruited a lot of the players we have now. They actually fit his system a little better.

A quarterback is a huge difference in col-lege ball and pro ball. If we didn’t have Nick Marshall we could of have easily lost four or five games this year.

“A lot of it is just confidence. A lot of games last year I really felt that we didn’t have a shot. Now there is a new confi-dence. It definitely makes a difference to have confidence going into each ball game that you can win.”

Kozan is one of three Colorado play-ers on the team preparing to meet Florida State in the BCS championship game.

Chaparral graduate Shane Callahan, a redshirt freshman reserve tackle, has played in two games. And Daniel Carlson, of The Classical Academy in Colorado

Springs, is the backup place kicker.“There’s a little bit of difference pre-

paring for this game,” admitted Kozan about the title tilt. “Obviously we’re going to prepare how we always prepare. When-ever you are playing in a championship game you have to have a championship mentality and you have to prepare for it every way possible to the best of your ability. Every championship game I’ve ever been in whether it was in high school or the SEC championship, you have to prepare for it and there’s a little extra in-tensity.”

Auburn will be attempting to become the first team to beat two No. 1 teams in the same season. Oklahoma came close

in 1984, tying No. 1 Texas 15-15 and later toppling top-rated Nebraska 17-7. Au-burn, which stunned No. 1 Alabama 34-28 late in the season, will be facing Heis-man Trophy winner Jameis Winston and current No. 1 Florida State.

“Jameis Winston is a great football player and our defense is preparing for him,” said Kozan. “I have confidence in their ability. He’s (Winston) going to make plays no matter who he is going against. That just shows the offense how a little more seriously we are going to have to take everything, really focusing on not making mistakes, eliminating turnovers, keeping their offense off the field and stuff like that.”


Kozan

McCaffrey has played behind talented offensive lines at Valor and he formed a mutual admiration society with the line-

men.“You couldn’t ask for a better dude,”

said tackle Alec Ruth. “He works so hard on the field and he is probably one of the most humble dudes I’ve ever met in my life. He makes the rest of the offensive line look real good. He’s very explosive and a great overall athlete.

“He comes over and says great job,

keep pounding your feet, keep working on it. He gives us recognition. He bought us dinner after our first game.”

McCaffrey, the son of former Denver Broncos wide receiver Ed McCaffrey, knows a lot of his success starts up front.

“It’s awesome especially when you have an offensive line like ours,” said Mc-Caffrey, who maintains a 3.65 grade point

average. “You get through the hole and you just see green. It’s really fun. That’s the best feeling in the world to hit the hole and see nothing in front of you.

“I can’t thank those guys enough for what they’ve done. They make my job so easy. I look up to those guys.”

And the rest of the state, without ques-tion, looks up to McCaffrey.

Goalie gets call to join CC Tigers19-year-old Shatzer makes mid-season move to SpringsBy Jim [email protected]

Derek Shatzer has dreamed about play-ing hockey at Colorado College for a long time. The 19-year-old Highlands Ranch na-tive finally has a chance to live a dream.

“I start practicing with them Dec. 29th,” said Shatzer who was a midseason addi-tion to the Tigers’ roster to help bolster CC’s goaltending ranks.

“When one of their goal-ies got hurt, I happened to e-mail them and they reached out to me,” said Shatzer. “I told them I was interested and things fell into place. I couldn’t be more excited to go there.”

Freshman goalie Tyler Marble has been sidelined after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery and senior Josh Thorimbert has carried the load, starting 17 consecutive games. CC also has junior Courtney Lockwood on its roster.

Shatzer has yet to be told what his role will be among the Tigers goalies but he’s just happy to get the opportunity to wear a CC sweater.

“Colorado College was like a dream school for me,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to play there. It’s close to home and I have two good friends on the team. There is no other feeling like reaching your dream.”

The 19-year-old played one season with the Colorado Thunderbirds before trans-ferring from Valor Christian High School after his sophomore year to attend Culver Academy in Culver, Ind., where he played for two seasons. For the past two years he has played for the Rochester Junior Ameri-cans, a Junior A Tier III team in the United States Premier Hockey League.

“They have watched me play since I was a U16 player with the Thunderbirds,” said Shatzer of CC. “Then when I played U18 with Culver they were always at our games.”

The 5-foot-9, 152-pound Shatzer was having a pretty good season with the Americans before getting the call to mind the Tigers’ nets. He was 6-0-1 with a 2.84 goals against average and a .911 saves per-centage.

“We are pleased to have Derek joining our team and attending Colorado College,” said CC coach Scott Owens. “He’s a qual-ity goaltender and being from the Denver area he is familiar with our program and several current players. He’s an excellent fit for Colorado College and our Tiger family. We look forward to having him on board.”

When Shatzer played for the Thunder-birds, a Denver area Tier I program, current CC freshman players Christian Heil, Gus-tav Olofsson and Jacob Slavin were also on the team.

DCSDsaying the other instances showed a pattern of poor behav-ior. “We’re just trying to make sure election law is followed and public dollars aren’t used for political purposes. Really, elections should be based on what is true and accurate not what is portrayed by a political ideology.”

In an emailed statement, DCSD leaders said they dis-agree with the judge’s interpretation of the law, noting the ruling applied to only one of several claims.

“In the lone claim in which the Administrative Law Judge found a violation, the district respectfully disagrees and will immediately appeal,” reads the statement sent by a DCSD spokeswoman and attributed to school board president Kevin Larsen. “The judge seems to have con-cluded that it is a violation of law anytime the district dis-seminates positive news involving its education policy agenda if there are also candidates for school board who support that agenda.”

The judge’s fi nding against the district applied to the paper titled “The Most Interesting School District in America?” written by the American Enterprise Institute’s Frederick Hess as part of a contracted deal with DCSD. In mid-September, the district emailed a link to the paper to 85,000 parents and community members - all potential voters in the Nov. 5, 2013 election. DCSD later revealed it had contracted with Hess to write the paper.

A copy of it also was delivered to many Douglas County residences about a month before the election, accompa-nied by a letter of endorsement for the four board-support-ed candidates signed by state lawmakers Sen. Ted Harvey, Rep. Frank McNulty and Rep. Polly Lawrence.

The judge “fi nds that the Hess report was commis-sioned and published as a means to support the reform agenda and any candidates who would further that agen-da,” Farrell wrote in her Dec. 24 ruling. “The ALJ fi nds that the district spent public funds to infl uence the outcome of the board election when it commissioned and paid $15,000 for the Hess report.”

Farrell did not agree DCSD violated the act when its educational foundation contracted with former U.S. Sec-retary of Education Bill Bennett, through alleged attempts to hamper the distribution of some campaign materials, publicize reform-candidate-only forums or give candi-dates unequal access to information — four other claims Keim made in her complaint.

Farrell did not levy a fi ne against DCSD, noting Keim didn’t request one.

“I’m just happy to try to hold them accountable for do-ing something wrong,” Keim said. “A big reason for pursu-ing this is to let people know that what you hear or read is not always true. And we all need to be very informed.

“It would be silly for them to appeal it. I think they should stop mis-using taxpayer dollars to defend inappro-priate acts on their part.”

Keim said she is paying her attorney through personal funds, and has received donations from supporters.

DCSD plans to not only appeal Farrell’s ruling but to seek reimbursement for its legal fees. It has not yet re-ceived a fi nal tally of those expenses from law fi rm Brown-stein Hyatt Farber Schreck, hired to defend it in the case.

“The Administrative Law Judge ruled in the district’s favor on fi ve allegations under the campaign fi nance act, fi nding that there was absolutely no basis for those complaints,” according to the school district’s statement. “Because the Judge’s rejection of those allegations was so emphatic, the district intends to ask for an award in its liti-gation costs.”

DCSD paid Hess $30,000 for his work, $15,000 of it from school district public funds and the remainder through the Douglas County Educational Foundation. While Bennett’s contract has not been released, school leaders previously have said he was paid $50,000 through a private donation made to the DCEF.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF DEC 25, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be busier than you had expected right now. But between the social-izing rounds and the workplace tasks, there are oppor-tunities for special moments with that certain someone.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your creative approach leads to a quicker-than-expected solution to a work-place problem. Now you can devote more time to that proposal you hope to introduce by midmonth.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Technological glitches create problems early on. But by midweek, all runs smoothly once again, and you’re well and truly on your way to meeting all your deadlines.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Your energy levels are high, and you feel you can handle everything that comes along. But try to take a break from your hectic pace for some quiet time with someone close to you.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Before you pounce on that shiny new opportunity, take more time to check it out to see how much substance actually lies beneath all that glitter. A family member has important news.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A personal situation you thought was resolved resurfaces, thanks to a possibly well-intentioned move that went awry. Deal with it as soon as possible. Accept the help of a trusted friend.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) That goal you set way back when is finally in sight. Maintain your focus on achieving it, and don’t allow yourself to be distracted by unimportant demands for your attention.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A temperamental flare-up creates negative feelings that need to be dealt with immediately. But things once again go well after the apologies are made and hurt feelings are soothed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) An early impul-sive act causes confusion. But all is smoothed over once explanations are made. Expect a friend or family member to ask for your kind and always wise advice.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) You might have to do some juggling of your priorities, as a personal matter appears to require more time and attention. Put your pride aside and accept help from those who offer it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Your creative aspect is strong. Not only does it help you accomplish your goals, but it also inspires others. This could lead to a potentially rewarding collaboration opportunity.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Be careful about making major decisions when you’re not really committed to them. And resist any pressure to do otherwise. Better to delay action until all doubts are resolved.

BORN THIS WEEK: You set goals and are rarely distracted by any attempt to move you off the path you’ve chosen to reach them.

Charter frustrated by lack of helpSchool district says finding location isn’t its responsibilityBy Jane [email protected]

Supporters of a prospective charter school with nowhere to build believe the Douglas County School District has the power to help it, but district leaders say it isn’t their responsibility.

Under a process adopted in 2012, it will only help charter schools if the district has a need for more student capacity.

World Compass Academy, which al-ready has a list of 500 potential students, is fast approaching a critical deadline. Its backers say they’ve done an exhaustive search for space in the Castle Rock area and are out of options. They also are nearly out of time to make their desired fall 2014 opening.

“We can’t expect parents to enroll (stu-dents) without a location,” World Compass Academy board president Bethany Merk-ling said. “We’re willing to partner with the district; anything they’d be willing to offer us would be something we’d consider.

“From our perspective, there are thou-sands of kids on (charter school) wait lists all over Castle Rock. So to me that indicates there’s a need for more charters.”

The best option, they believe, is to lease a town-owned lot reserved for a school in the developing Crystal Valley Ranch neigh-borhood in southern Castle Rock. Crystal Ranch’s developer also wants to see the charter built there.

But DCSD leaders say those lengthy lists — some of which extend years into the future — don’t indicate a lack of seats for the district’s students.

“We are here to support World Compass Academy,” said Richard Cosgrove, DCSD’s director of planning and construction. “It’s just right now we can’t give up a dedicated school site because we don’t have capacity

needs.“We have to be prudent and hold onto

future school sites for the growth that’s go-ing to happen.”

DCSD adopted the request-for-propos-al process after it assisted Castle Rock’s As-pen View Academy and the Parker campus of American Academy — both of which opened in 2013 after agreeing to offset capacity needs by giving priority to neigh-borhood students.

District officials said they needed to build new schools in those areas, but didn’t have the money to do so. The two charters’ willingness to accept neighborhood stu-dents made providing a site to American Academy and helping Aspen View with both a site and financing a win for all.

In the future, “If and when we do need classroom space, we could issue an RFP for charter schools,” Cosgrove said. “That would be open to all and competitive. As part of that, we could offer the use of one of the dedicated school sites, or we may not.”

Crystal Valley Ranch developer Jerry Richmond said his company is platting 500 new lots. Currently, 600 people live in the fledging development. He also noted other developments in the area that will draw more families.

Richmond would like to see the charter school build on one of the two sites re-served for elementary schools; the other could remain open for a future neighbor-

hood school.“We’re very supportive of World Com-

pass coming into the community,” he said. “It just doesn’t seem like the Douglas County School District is giving any cre-dence to the residents that currently live there.”

A charter school is a public school op-erated by a group of parents, teachers or community members under a contract with the school district.

It has more flexibility than district-op-erated schools in its choice of curriculum and school operations. Douglas County is

home to 12 charter schools.The years-long waiting lists are what

motivated former teacher Merkling to help start a school; she hopes to see her young children attend World Compass.

Based on her history and belief in the importance of foreign language, the pro-posed school would include early foreign language education in French, Mandarin and Spanish.

The international focus is not otherwise available in Douglas County now, Merkling said; it’s a choice she feels parents should have.

DCSD likely would extend World Com-pass’ application another year, but Merk-ling doesn’t think that will make a differ-ence for them.

“The problem is there isn’t adequate lease space,” she said. “Unless a new op-tion becomes available, we’re going to be in the exact same place next year.”

Another proposed charter with an em-phasis on foreign language, Global Village Academy, aims to open for the 2014-15 academic year in northeastern Douglas County.

current waiting list at some DcsD charter schools

American Academy: With campuses in Parker and Castle Pines, the total waiting list is 2,180. Parker Core Knowledge: The Parker charter’s list extends to children who would enroll in 2019 and is currently at 3,703 prospective students. Platte River Academy: The Highlands Ranch school

has a current list of about 4,000. SkyView Academy: The Highlands Ranch charter’s list extends to children who would enroll up to 2025 and is currently at 2,271 prospective students. STEM Academy: The Highlands Ranch school has a cur-rent list of 350 prospective students.
