Japanese students visit Castle View School steps up to host group, which was diverted by flood By Jane Reuter [email protected] When Boulder High School suffered flood damage during September’s storms, nine students at a Japanese high school thought their plans to visit the United States were in peril. Then a search for high schools with Japanese language programs led them to Castle View High School, and world languages teacher Thor Kjeseth. “We needed a school that has Japanese language classes; it makes it much easier,” said Heidaki Yamamoto, an Erie resident and native of Japan who helps coordinate the annual Shihoro High School trips. “I was relieved when we started talking to Thor. Compared to teachers in the past, he was much more thorough and detailed.” From Kjeseth’s standpoint, Boulder’s loss was Douglas County’s gain. “We feel blessed” to host the students, Kjeseth said. The students and their teacher arrived at Castle View Oct. 30 for a four-day stay. They spent their days shadowing other Castle View students at the school, and their eve- nings with host students and their families. Teacher Kiyo Kamita and her charges were surprised by the reception they re- ceived. As they walked into the school library, pulling wheeled suitcases behind them, Castle View students greeted them with “konnichiwa” — the Japanese word for hel- lo — and bows. “I was very, very touched by the warm reception,” Kamita said. “And just the sheer number of people, because we come from such a small school.” Shihoro is an agricultural community of about 7,000 people, and its high school has only about 160 students. The students were startled by many as- pects of American life. “The drink sizes are huge,” said Ryo An- raku. “In the restrooms, the paper towels come out automatically,” chimed in Go Yo- shida. “I was surprised.” “You don’t separate your trash,” ob- served Kotaro Hayakawa. Additionally, most Japanese students wear uniforms, and are not allowed to wear makeup or jewelry, she said. Those differences aside, the students quickly immersed themselves in their host community. “They’ve been enjoying every minute,” Kamita said. “They experienced their first Wendy’s ever. They were splurging at Park Meadows (mall). I’m sure the highlight is going to be what they experience here with the students.” A change in a district policy limiting the allowable number of foreign exchange stu- dents made the nine-student visit possible. On Sept. 3, Castle View students success- fully urged the school board to change the previous limit of one foreign language stu- dent for every 300 enrolled students. The ratio was lifted, allowing the prin- cipal to determine the allowed number of exchange students based on available re- sources. Kjeseth and his students planned a wel- come party, volleyball game and a Japa- nese/Western-themed dance among other activities. “It’s been our great pleasure to host the students from Shihoro,” Kjeseth said. “Ev- ery exchange visit reminds us that the key to international understanding and friend- ship is not simply dependent on language; rather it is influenced more by a person’s heart and willingness to open up to others.” The Castle Rock stop was the focal point of the students’ 10-day trip, which ended at California’s Universal Studios.

Japanese students visit Castle ViewSchool steps up to host group, which was diverted by floodBy Jane [email protected]

When Boulder High School suffered flood damage during September’s storms, nine students at a Japanese high school thought their plans to visit the United States were in peril. Then a search for high schools with Japanese language programs led them to Castle View High School, and world languages teacher Thor Kjeseth.

“We needed a school that has Japanese language classes; it makes it much easier,” said Heidaki Yamamoto, an Erie resident and native of Japan who helps coordinate the annual Shihoro High School trips. “I was relieved when we started talking to Thor.

were surprised by the reception they re-ceived.

Roadwork nearing endPark Meadows Drive motorists to get Thanksgiving reprieveBy Jane [email protected]

Lone Tree area residents will have one common item for which to be grateful Thanksgiving Day: The end of construction on Park Meadows Drive.

Until then, local officials urge drivers impacted by the work to take deep breaths and exercise patience.

Construction on the street that extends between Acres Green Drive and Quebec Street has narrowed the four-lane through-way to two bumpy paths. Adding to the angst, drivers turning into businesses along Park Meadows have to wait for an opening in the single through lane, stacking up traf-fic behind them.

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.

Ruptured water line closes Yosemite By George Lurie [email protected]

A water line ruptured early Nov. 4 be-low Yosemite Street, forcing the closure of the busy road in both directions between Mineral Avenue and Dry Creek Road — but not before a Waste Management trash truck was caught in a large sinkhole created by the water line break.

A repair crew from Southgate Water and Sanitation Districts was on the scene the morning of Nov. 4 trying to locate the break in the line and assess the damage to the roadway.

A mobile crane was brought in to lift the trash truck out of the sinkhole.

Yosemite Street remains closed in both directions between Dry Creek Road and Mineral Avenue because of the water main break.

“Due to extensive damage to the road-

way, crews will need approximately three to four days to complete repairs, weather permitting,” said Centennial spokesperson Allison Wittern.

“It is anticipated that Yosemite Street will re-open by the end of this week,” Wit-tern added.

Water service has not been disrupted in the area.

Alternate routes are advised. Motorists may use Mineral Circle, Quebec Street and Chester Street.

According to its website, Southgate Wa-ter and Sanitation Districts operate and maintain water distribution and wastewa-ter collection systems that provide service to more than 75,000 Colorado residents, with an 18-square-mile service area that includes portions of Centennial as well as Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree, unincorporated Arapahoe Coun-ty and unincorporated Douglas County.

District says high school students aren’t limitedBlock schedule not perfect, but accomplishing its goals, administrators sayBy Jane [email protected]

Midway through its second year in Doug-las County high schools, the block schedule implemented in 2012-13 continues to draw mixed reviews from some parents, recent graduates and current students.

District leaders acknowledge that some principals limited the number of classes stu-dents could take during the first year of the block schedule, but said they made changes this year to ensure that scenario wasn’t re-peated.

“This last year, we told (principals), ‘Let students take the classes they want to take and we’ll support them if it becomes too much of a burden,’” assistant superinten-dent of secondary education Dan McMini-mee said. “Our direction was, `Don’t limit students.’”

Two schools got that additional sup-port. Ponderosa High School received an additional $178,000 and Castle View almost $458,000 to hire more teachers.

Under the block schedule, students and teachers meet every other day for extended time periods rather than meeting every day

for shorter periods. In most Douglas County schools, eight 45-minute sessions are offered one day a week, then split into two days each of four 90-minute classes the remainder of the week.

That translates into correspondingly longer off-periods, which means big spans of free time for upperclassmen, with two or three off-periods. It also drops instructional time by about 10 hours per class.

District leaders said the change was needed to address a predicted budget short-

fall that later proved inaccurate, reduce class sizes and retain electives. Because budget constraints didn’t allow DCSD to add new high school teachers, almost all taught ad-ditional classes — six classes out of the eight periods instead of the previous five of seven.

Douglas County High School Principal Tony Kappas believes students have more advantages under the block schedule.

“I think we’re all in a better place,” he said. “We’ve been allowed to save programs and reduce our ratios in the classrooms.”

The schedule is based on freshmen and sophomores taking seven classes, juniors six and seniors five or six, Kappas said, but requests for additional classes are always considered.

Highlands Ranch High School students were not limited with the introduction of the block schedule, Principal Jerry Goings said.

“We put suggestions on what they could and couldn’t do, but we never put a limit on them,” he said. “We worked with every sin-gle kid individually to make sure their edu-cational needs were met. It’s not the perfect system. But we were still able to operate the schools on less money.”

Students are not required to take three off-periods, but some choose to, he said.

Both principals credit their teachers for taking on additional duties.

“The one major recognition and kudos goes to the teachers,” Kappas said.

Goings echoed him.“The biggest sacrifice was on teachers,”

he said. “If the money was there right now, I would come back with a derivative of what we’re doing now; I probably would look at a five-of-seven with some block like we’re do-ing now.”

That schedule would help teachers, he said, but added, “I’ve got to make sure my class sizes continue to be at a good level. The year before (the block schedule), they were not. I don’t having classes of 35, 36 kids was a good situation.”

Block schedule pros and cons

Pros• Teachers see fewer students during the day, giving them more time for individualized instruction.

• WiTh the increased span of teaching time, longer cooperative learning activities can be completed in one class period.

• sTudenTs have more time for reflection and less infor-mation to process over the course of a school day.

• Teachers have extended time for planning.

• upperclassmen have more time for homework, jobs and extracurricular activities.

cons• Teachers see students fewer days a week, which fosters a lack of continuity from day to day.

• if a student misses a day under the block schedule, that student is missing more than a day’s worth of instruction.

• iT is difficult to cover the necessary material for Advanced Placement courses in the time allotted.

• in Douglas County, educators are carrying a heavier work-load than under the previous schedule, with each teaching an additional class.

• upperclassmen have more unsupervised time and all students spend less time in class.

Most information from the National Education Association

students’ views vary about scheduleSome praise, some criticize block formatBy Jane [email protected]

Douglas County School District gradu-ates and current students don’t share com-mon opinions on the high school block schedule.

While a current ThunderRidge High School student gives the schedule an A, a recent graduate saw and experienced prob-lems with it.

“I love it,” ThunderRidge High School senior Kianna Nguyen said. “At my school, they allow seniors to take whatever classes they need to take.

“I’m taking four AP (Advanced Place-ment) classes. I also do concurrent enroll-ment at ACC (Arapahoe Community Col-lege). It’s really nice for me because I have time to do all those classes and do my homework.”

Nicole Scheuerman, who graduated from ThunderRidge in 2013, also liked the time allowed by off-periods to do home-work. But the negatives outweigh the posi-tives in her mind.

As a senior, Scheuerman said a scarcity of electives left her with three off-periods. She spent that time working as a teacher’s assistant, but said other students used their free time differently.

“There were many kids who’d just go home and not stay at school, or go off for lunch and skip the rest of the day if they

only had one class,” she said. “High school-ers don’t make the right decisions all the time. There’s a lot of freedom I don’t think should be given to juniors, seniors. You shouldn’t have half a day off from school; you should be in school learning, trying to better yourself and succeed, and kids don’t grasp that concept.”

Nguyen said friends who graduated from ThunderRidge last year reported no problems getting into the colleges of their choice. But a Douglas County High School graduate said the three off-periods com-mon to many seniors can give college ad-missions officers a negative impression.

Rigor is “one of the main factors colleges consider when you’re applying,” said Bill Kakenmaster, a freshman at American Uni-versity. “They don’t want to see you slack off. The feeling some students got was that we were getting shortchanged.”

McMinimee said block schedules are common nationwide and not a barrier for prospective college students.

“My experience has been it’s never the type of schedule you’re on,” he said. “It’s the GPA (grade point average), the test scores, the rigor of classes you take.”

Several websites on college admission criteria concur that rigor is an important consideration.

“The grades you achieve in classes throughout high school … are obviously important, but the courses that you elect to take and the rigor of the courses you select are probably even more important to the admissions committee,” according to col-legebasic.com.

crime reportipad stolen from wrecked car

A Highlands Ranch resident involved in a motor-vehicle accident about 3:30 p.m. Oct. 21 went to his vehicle — which was impounded in the 8500 block of South Valley Highway in unincorporated Douglas County — to retrieve his belongings two days later.

Upon arriving, he noticed his iPad was no longer in the vehicle. He used his track-ing software and received reports that the iPad had been in Denver and was now in Aurora.

He then sent a message to the iPad, set-ting off an alert. The device was immedi-ately turned off. No video surveillance was available at the impound lot, and the iPad has not been retrieved.

cigarette thief hits WalgreensDouglas County sheriff’s deputies re-

sponded to the Walgreens on the corner of Broadway and Highlands Ranch Parkway Oct. 24 on a report of a cold theft involving a black adult male suspect who frequents

the store about once a week.On Oct. 24, the suspect allegedly waited

for the employee at the counter to get busy and reached over the counter and stole a carton of Marlboro cigarettes. According to employees of the store, the man often comes in and tells staff that he is there to pick up a prescription, but has no prescrip-tions on file and no one in the pharmacy knows his name. Each time he has been approached by employees he pretends to be talking on his phone.

soopers scammer steals foodA white male suspect in his late 20s or

early 30s returned an item valued at $30 at the King Soopers in the 8600 block of S. Quebec St. in Highlands Ranch on Oct. 22, before then going on a shopping spree in the store.

The only problem, according to em-ployees and surveillance tapes, was that he failed to pay for the $150 worth of grocer-ies he loaded his cart with before exiting the store and driving away.

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 officials 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.

Race

Reformers keep control in school districtGOP-endorsed slate sweeps Douglas County school raceBy Jane [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 certified. 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 significant portion of the community has a voice on the school board, and what we witnessed is outside funders and influences 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 significant 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 figure 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.

Stories preserve veterans’ histories Library of Congress stores photos, letters By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]

Former Marine Corps Sgt. Lou Seago had so many close calls in World War II that he almost didn’t make it home alive. And if it weren’t for the Library of Congress’ Vet-erans History Project, his tales of fortitude might have been forever lost.

The project, initiated in 2000, now showcases more than 70,000 oral histories — soon to include Seago’s stories of Saipan and Iwo Jima — along with photographs, letters, journals, artwork, military docu-ments and other original war-related items from veterans of numerous wars through-out American history.

With help from local institutions across the country — such as Douglas County Li-braries — those oral histories and original materials are being collected before time runs out for older veterans such as Seago.

Before shipping the documents and in-terviews away to D.C., the library district also retains copies of all area veterans’ his-tories at the Philip S. Miller Branch in Cas-tle Rock, and visitors can make an appoint-ment to view them at any time. One can also listen or read the transcripts of close to half of the 100 veteran interviews already done by visiting www.douglascountyhis-tory.org.

“We try to play the role of facilitator,” said DCL archivist Adam Speirs. “We create the space where these things can happen, but it’s a volunteer-driven project, we have volunteer transcribers, we have volunteer interviewers, the people being interviewed

are volunteering to participate in the proj-ect, and what we do is make sure all the paperwork gets fi lled out and everything is preserved correctly.”

Since the start of the project, Speirs said, the library was getting about one or

two veterans coming forward per month. However, with some special thanks to Wind Crest resident and former Air Force Maj. Cliff Butler, that number is climbing fast.

Butler, who has made his home at the

Highlands Ranch community for just two months, has already rounded up 25 willing veterans from his new home to participate and plans on getting as many people in-volved as possible.

“We need to preserve these stories for the sake of history,” said Butler, whose fa-milial military lines are traced back all the way to the Civil and Revolutionary wars. “Kids nowadays don’t realize when they look at people like Lou that if it weren’t for them they would be speaking German or Japanese.

It’s a way of honoring these guys. A lot of them don’t even realize how valuable their story is to our history.”

“A lot of people say, `I didn’t do any-thing, you don’t want to hear my story,’ but we want to hear everyone’s stories,” Speirs said. “I can’t tell you how much we’ve gained from it. The more stories I listen to the more I realize how totally alien that re-ality is from my personal reality. This depth of human experience would be inacces-sible to me if it hadn’t been for this project. ... You don’t just stop people in the street and say, `Hey tell me about your story.’ You need a place for this to happen.”

The library will celebrate its 10th year of involvement in the project from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Nov. 16, at the Philip S. Miller Li-brary, 100 S. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock.

Local veterans who have participated will share their experiences, while a group called Remembering Our Veterans will demonstrate how they share veteran sto-ries. All are welcome to attend the celebra-tion.

For more information on the project, please visit www.loc.gov/vets. To volunteer or share your personal story if you are a veteran, please contact Speirs at 303-688-7733 or [email protected].

Official has led similar group in Norfolk, Neb.By Chris [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 Dennis Houston, who will leave his position as president of the Nor-folk (Neb.) Area Chamber of Commerce at the end of the month. He will take over as the Parker chamber president and chief execu-tive officer Dec. 1.

Houston (pronounced How-ston) was among 48 applicants for the position, which was vacated at the end of July when Dan Rodriguez submitted a letter of resig-nation.

Interim president Jo Ann Frost, who will resume her duties as the chairwoman of the chamber board of directors, said the or-ganization 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 field of three candidates, Houston demonstrated the experience, dynamic personality and professionalism the cham-

ber 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 officials, 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 expe-rience in working with different sectors — from home-based businesses to small retail 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.

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.”

Trivia at InvernessWorldDenver, a nonprofit communi-

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.

The evening, with beverages spon-sored by Molson Coors Brewing Co., will begin with a pub-food-themed buffet dinner following by an international trivia competition.

Teams of five will compete in five rounds of questions based on current affairs, geography, businesses and or-ganizations as well as globally minded professionals testing their knowledge to win donated prizes and a year of brag-ging rights.

Celebrity quiz masters include: Kay Landen and Joanne Posner-Mayer (event co-chairs), Carolyn Richards, Joe Megyesy, Katie Evans, Alice Anneberg, Laurie Zeller, Kim Savit, Beverley Simpson and Selena Dunham. Greg Dobbs and Anna Alejo will serve as ce-lebrity quiz masters for the Challenge.

Funds raised will support WorldDen-ver’s programs: Denver World Affairs Council, Young Professionals, Inter-national Visitor Leadership Program, Home Hospitality, GlobaLiteracy and WorldDenver Talks.

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 The-atre stage for the first time this coming weekend.

The hard-touring quintet will be head-lining the Englewood theatre Nov. 15 and 16, with fellow bluegrass band Fruition supporting both nights.

The band, which started as a trio play-ing open mic nights in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 2000, added standup bassist Mike De-vol in 2004 and dobro-player extraordi-naire Anders Beck in 2007. Playing 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 repertoire.

When the band leaves its own catalog behind, which they do four or five times per show, no one ever knows what they are going to hear. Odds are it won’t be your traditional blue-grass cover though. At their recent sold-out, two-night run in Boulder, Greensky covered everything from Bruce Springsteen to String Cheese Inci-dent, Radiohead, Paul Simon, Bob Marley and the Grateful Dead.

“We’re all music heads, and love writ-ing, but we also love other people’s music as well,” Beck said. “I think if there weren’t such strong songwriters in the band, play-ing covers would feel a little cheaper on some level. But I think it allows us to play unique covers 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.”

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

“99 Histories” by Korean dramatist Julia Cho follows a well-used and gener-ally compelling design, one that draws in audience members of several age ranges — mother-daughter conflict and the his-tories behind it. Mothers, daughters, sis-ters and aunts in three generations are remembered in a story that is about a Ko-rean-American family, but could translate to any nationality. The play runs through Nov. 16 and invites a visit from area the-ater 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 vir-tuoso, arrives 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 behav-ior — she was a talented young musician, a Juilliard student, who seems to have lost her way, her will to per-form.

Sah-Jin, who loves her daughter blindly, but fails to understand her, voices 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 adop-tion, is concerned about family medical

history, mental illness in particular. She finds mementos in the home that

suggest a number of unknowns 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 professional debut.

Under Dodd’s direction, puzzle pieces fit together by the end of Act II, although the future remains something of a ques-tion mark. As is often the case with an engaging performance, one heads out into the dark speculating about the ways a story might move forward.

Book sheds light on Indian WarsWriter will appear at Tattered Cover LoDoBy Sonya [email protected]

When co-author Bob Drury appears in Denver on Nov. 14, he should attract many local history buffs who focus on the chaot-ic 19th-century Western American Indian Wars. He and fellow writer Tom Clavin have just published their account of the Oga-lala Sioux chief Red Cloud — described as “the only Plains Indian to defeat the United States Army in a war, forcing the American government to sue for peace in a conflict named for him.”

The book is titled “The Heart of Every-thing That Is,” which is a translation for the Native American “Paha Sapa,” the sacred Black Hills area in what is now South Dako-ta. More specifically, the mystical “breath-ing” 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 fierce 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 describing the total philosophical disconnect between whites and Indians — not new information 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. William J. Fetterman, sent out from the fort to protect a wood gathering train — and firmly in-structed not to chase lurking Indians over the ridge — gave in to visions of glory and chased Indian scouts who had been teas-ing. (A final 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.

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 The-atre stage for the first time this coming weekend.

The hard-touring quintet will be head-lining the Englewood theatre Nov. 15 and 16, with fellow bluegrass band Fruition supporting both nights.

The band, which started as a trio play-ing open mic nights in Kalamazoo, Mich., in 2000, added standup bassist Mike De-vol in 2004 and dobro-player extraordi-naire Anders Beck in 2007. Playing 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 repertoire.

When the band leaves its own catalog behind, which they do four or five times per show, no one ever knows what they are going to hear. Odds are it won’t be your traditional blue-grass cover though. At their recent sold-out, two-night run in Boulder, Greensky covered everything from Bruce Springsteen to String Cheese Inci-dent, Radiohead, Paul Simon, Bob Marley and the Grateful Dead.

“We’re all music heads, and love writ-ing, but we also love other people’s music as well,” Beck said. “I think if there weren’t such strong songwriters in the band, play-ing covers would feel a little cheaper on some level. But I think it allows us to play unique covers 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 mando-lin player and lead vocal-ist Paul Hoffman or guitar player Dave Bruzza, that send the crowd into a fren-zy.

The band’s recent al-bum, “Handguns,” helped to launch the band’s popu-larity 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 any-thing either.

“We just really wanted to get it out there,” Beck said. “We aren’t a household name in most households, 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 already

playing on the road.For more information or to purchase

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.

Letterpress museum taking shapeMuch work to be done on old Englewood DepotBy Sonya [email protected]

“Celebrate the Englewood Depot,” says a poster designed by Tom Parson, who has bought the old Englewood Santa Fe Depot from the city.

The depot now sits empty on Dartmouth Avenue. Parson’s plan is to keep the historic facade intact, as a designated historic land-mark, and create a “living museum” dedi-cated to letterpress typography, art and po-etry, with a working print shop, which will also be a teaching facility and hopefully, a community meeting place.

The poster uses 11 different typestyles from Parson’s extensive collection: Egyp-tian Clarendon Ornamented, Samoa, Gothic Concave Tuscan Condensed, Ra-cine, Skeleton Antique, Latin Expanded, Bradley Italic, Gothic, P.T. Barnum, Mowry Antique and Palantino Italic.

He printed it at his business, Now It’s

Up to You, at his home in Denver, where he has about a dozen historic printing presses, about 2,500 fonts of metal type and hun-dreds of fonts of wooden type and thou-sands of antique printer’s cuts, ornaments and borders, which will go to the museum. For a period, he attended auctions every weekend, he said.

He got interested in printing through a study of poetry, which is sometimes printed on the old presses in limited editions. His large library of poetry and typographic his-tory will also have a place in the museum.

His wife, Patti Parson, is managing pro-ducer for the PBS NewsHour, with respon-sibility for budgets and production staff news coverage, writing foundation grants that have secured millions, according to the couple’s proposal to the City of Engle-wood, presented Feb. 28.

An open house to benefit the project was held on Oct. 26 at Ray Tomasso’s studio in Englewood, which houses many more antique printing presses, including a Wash-ington Press, circa 1891, where depot vol-unteer Wilson Thomas was printing souve-nir posters, one at a time.

The organizers were selling subscrip-tions to a folio of letterpress prints contrib-uted by artists around the world — to be delivered in the spring of 2014 — for dona-tions starting at $150.

Tom Parson said he and his wife are in the middle of setting a schedule for reno-vation of the interior, which involves bring-ing it up to ADA standards, adding heat, electricity, plumbing, handicap-accessible bathrooms … and an east wall in the base-ment.

They are also in the middle of setting up a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, which will ease the process of getting donations. They have sufficient funds to renovate the old building, which will have a preserva-tion easement on the facade, per state his-torical society standards.

His start-up mailing list of 90 includes young art student/interns who have learned to make plastic printing plates with a computer, using the old typestyles; the guild of book workers and individual printing aficionados such as Wilson Thom-as, who is also a teacher and musician who recently moved to Denver. There are a

number of interested women also, involved with Etsy and the craft movement.

He hopes to cooperate with city organi-zations and others to provide public access. The city’s community gardens are next to his property and he hopes the gardeners may want to meet at the museum on occa-sion, for example.

A membership structure will be estab-lished in the future.

“The biggest problem is the building it-self,” which needs substantial work, Parson said.

Architect friends are working on design solutions, which will include a lift for the handicapped from the main floor to base-ment, where the print shop will be estab-lished.

Watch for progress on the Mission Style depot.

Englewood’s managers and depart-ments have been “really great and helpful,” Parson said, including building, zoning, fire, etc.

‘Jazz Psalms Experience’ in Highlands RanchComposer has finished more than 75 piecesBy Sonya [email protected]

Chuck Marohnic — nationally recog-nized teacher, educator, pianist, director, composer and arranger — spent consid-erable time meditating on the Psalms of the Bible.

James Ramsey, director of music and arts ministries at St. Luke’s United Meth-odist Church, said the Psalms were origi-

nally written as musical compositions — to be sung rather than read.

“They were sung and accompanied by various musical instruments with-in the context of Hebrew worship over 3,000 years ago,” Ramsey said.

Mahronic’s work has led to “The Jazz Psalms Expe-rience,” to be performed at 3 p.m. Nov. 10 at St. Luke’s featuring Ma-rohnic, the church’s adult, youth and chil-dren’s choirs, the Ministers of Music jazz band and St. Luke’s Youth Jazz Orchestra.

Vocalist Carol Rogers, an international performer, will be featured.

More than 75 original compositions are complet-ed and the composer aims to complete all 150 Psalms in the next two to three years. Each is being record-ed by Music Serving the Word Ministries, a national organization that makes its

new music available to church musicians and worship teams seeking new ways to present ancient Scriptures, Ramsey said.

Mahronic is quoted: “I actually began

to hear the words of the Psalms as mu-sic. I proceeded to write down the music I had heard and thus began the project.”

Ramsey, who has produced a variety of musical experiences at St. Luke’s to interpret spiritual teachings, said “the audience attending the ‘Jazz Psalms Ex-perience’ will hear an entirely fresh inter-pretation of the Psalms, delivered via the language of modern music, influenced by jazz, rock, funk, R&B and world music …”

Also planned: a high school holiday festival in December with more than 200 students in the new Performing Arts Academy, which will go year-round in 2014.

if you go“The Jazz Psalms

Experience” will take place at 3 p.m. Nov. 10 at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, 8917 S. Broadway, Highlands Ranch. Admission is free. 303-470-5615, stlukeshr.com.

Santa Claus Shop taking donationsVolunteer operation gives kids a brighter holidayBy Sonya [email protected]

Since 1959, faces have changed, but the good will of a dedicated group of volun-teers has kept the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop operating and growing. Locations are now open for donations, accepted until Dec. 1.

And, the call is out for volunteers to help clean and repair toys and get the shop ready, as well as operate it when parents come to get toys for kids who might not otherwise have a gift at Christmas.

Volunteers need to register in advance by email, so they don’t have too many at any one time — or too few. (Space is lim-ited.) Usually, it involves about 400 total, board chairman Shirley Nixon said, prais-ing the generous community, which keeps the shop going year after year for needy children.

Nixon said that in 2012, they had 2,699 names referred by schools, churches and caseworkers and served 2,400 whose par-ents appeared to shop at the shop site on South Datura Street. (Dec. 12 and 13 this year.) About 20 percent drop off each year, she observes.

Toys are given to children in Littleton, Englewood and Sheridan schools only. The

names of children up to age 12 are referred by schools, churches, agencies and case-workers and parents are given a 100-point card for each child. (“We can’t accept self-referrals,” Nixon said.) The shop has a list of names at the door. Notices were sent to referring agencies on Oct. 18 and each gen-erates its own list of families and numbers of children. Cards are distributed to par-ents or caretakers about a week before the shop opens.

The shop is divided into departments, with a volunteer head of each. Some, such as those interested in dolls or bicycles, work through the year, cleaning and re-pairing and buying items they find at sales. Each item has points assigned. A Spanish-speaking volunteer is on hand for shop-ping days.

New and gently used complete toys may be dropped off through Dec. 11 at numer-ous sites listed at arapahoesantashop.org. (Not accepted: VHS videos, guns of any kind, swords, broken or chipped toys, fast food toys, candles, clothes, puzzles over 100 pieces, adult makeup and perfume, adult books.) Cash donations are always welcome.

Collection locations include: Little-ton’s Town Hall Arts Center, Littleton and Englewood fire stations, Bradford Auto Body, Colorado Center for the Blind, Buck Recreation Center, Dr. Darlyn Loper DDS, Adventures in Dance, Littleton Woodlawn Floral, Broadway Estates Conoco, Down-town Dinners, Van Wyk Chiropractic Cen-

ter, Littleton Family YMCA, Pro Auto Care, ACC Fitness Center, Christopher and Banks/Aspen Grove, Sheridan city offices. (All addresses online.)

The organization, which gives about 50 bikes each year, was aided in 2013 by Eagle Scout Jack Eickelson, who collected 30 bikes and delivered them to Project Re-Cycle in Castle Rock, where he has worked on repair with the shop’s bicycle specialist, Steve Busey.

The organization will provide the Santa Claus Shop with 30 bikes for children when it opens.

“We keep adding toys to the tables throughout the shop’s open time,” Nixon says. She regrets not getting to see the kids on Christmas.

For information on volunteering for or donating to the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop, see: arapahoesantashop.org. Ad-vance registration is important.

Graffiti gives birth to art conceptAaron’s work shown in EnglewoodBy Sonya [email protected]

“In `Urban Scrawl,’ I sought to uncover a new form of self-expression, a language that found its roots in graffiti but became something else entirely,” says Patricia Aar-on’s artist statement for an exhibit at Mu-seum Outdoor Arts.

“I layered encaustic and street-artist ink, carving and splattering the surfaces of my canvases to juxtapose thriving cities and broken landscapes, spare beginnings and elaborate ends. The result was a vi-brant montage of textures, strokes and col-ors — an abstract reflection of the chaotic and dynamic scenes that were the impetus behind this work.”

She talks of recent visits to Cape Town, South Africa, and New York City, where she was constantly drawn to the ever-present graffiti — an underlying presence in this collection of paintings.

Aaron’s ideas are colorfully illustrated with a collection of new works included in a joint exhibit, “Urban Abstract — Rural Grid,” with Denver ceramic artist Chan-dler Romeo at the Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood, which runs through March 8, 2014.

She said, during a visit to her home studio in Greenwood Village, that she and Romeo had their art placed together in an exhibit last year at the Republic Building in Denver. They decided it was a good fit and pitched the idea of a joint exhibit to Cyn-

thia Madden Leitner, the MOA director, who curated the Republic Building show.

MOA’s theme for the year is “abstract,” which works for Aaron’s colorful two-di-mensional works and Romeo’s sculptural clay compositions.

Aaron explained her encaustic process to studio visitors, starting with a one-pound block of beeswax: She melts eight pounds at a time in a crock pot, adding a pound of Damar crystals, the material Damar varnish is made from. Clear yel-low, it has bits of insects and debris in it. After two to three hours of cooking in the crockpot, she strains the liquid medium through polyester and loads it into a muf-fin pan (large), storing the resulting cakes

until needed. “I’m always making these,” she said.

Next step is to melt a cake of medium and add pigment in a container set on her studio hotbox. She keeps an assortment of colors ready to work with, discarding them if they grow muddy. With inexpensive bris-tle brushes, she strokes the material onto a board backing: wood or Masonite panel. For this show, she used both, including some circular panels built at the MOA dur-ing an early fall residency from reclaimed barn wood. In addition, there is a series of 21 wheels, “Urban Legends,” poured in molds during her MOA residency and mounted in groups of three.

When the artist brushes the melted wax

on the board, it sets up immediately and she uses a torch to fuse it with the layers beneath it. Or, she may stroke on layers of ink, which will blend with the wax when fused. She may also carve and scrape the surface with a ceramic tool, adding texture to the work.

The resulting pieces, each distinctively different, will look alive, almost in motion to a viewer who can discover patterns in the multiple layers of intense color and black ink accents.

Aaron also makes encaustic mono-prints by painting on the hotbox surface and laying a piece of paper on it and rub-bing with a brayer. “I love mark making,” she says happily.

Aaron, who earned an MFA from the University of Denver in 1998, has taught and exhibited widely and held several art-ist residencies. She and her husband have three grown daughters. She is represented by Space Gallery in Denver, Water Street Gallery in Douglas, Mich., and William and Joseph Gallery on Santa Fe’s Canyon Road.

Also showing at the MOA: Tyler Wayne McCall’s “Lightworks,” in the Light Box Gallery and a custom soundscape by Im-mersive Studios in the MOA Sound Gallery, where one sits, surrounded by sound — re-laxing.

Mcpherson’s preps career nearly perfectCreek senior garners four state tennis titles

By Jim [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 definitely a lot more pres-

sure this year because everybody was talk-ing about it (winning a fourth title),” he said. “It was definitely 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 flawless. He finished the season 20-1, with his one loss coming against eventual Class 4A No. 2 singles champion Willie Gold of Kent Den-ver.

“Definitely 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 definitely pushed each oth-er, especially in practice. We were always working to make each other better. We definitely 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.”

Jaguars advance to soccer semisRock Canyon edges Heritage 1-0 in 5A quarterfinal clashBy Tom [email protected]

Rock Canyon came out on top 1-0 in a hard-fought battle that lasted the full 80 minutes from starting whistle to game-ending buzzer at the state Class 5A quar-terfinal game with Heritage Nov. 2.

“This was a battle and a heck of a game,” Jaguars coach Sean Henning said after the game at Shea Stadium. “Heritage is a very good soccer team. It was tough, but we just kept working and fortunately got the goal we needed to win the game.”

Adam Buseck, Heritage coach, said his

team played well.“The kids did everything I asked them to

do,” he said. “Rock Canyon is a good team. When they got a sort of soft goal early, they made it stand up for the win.”

The win advances the Jaguars to the semifinals against Denver East. The Angels come into the game with a 10-5-3 record. They advanced this far with wins over Highlands Ranch, Rangeview and Liberty. Rock Canyon advances to the state semifi-nals with a 15-0-2 record. The Jaguars have already bested playoff opponents Doherty, Arapahoe and Heritage.

Both state semifinals will be played at Legacy Stadium, which is adjacent to Cher-okee Trail High School at 25901 E. Arapa-hoe Road. The first game of the evening matches Boulder (15-3) against Pine Creek

(15-1-2) at 4 p.m. at Legacy Stadium.Soccer purists should have enjoyed the

Nov. 2 Rock Canyon-Heritage quarterfinal battle. The game was played at a racehorse tempo. The play moved from one end of the field to the other as, when a team took possession of the ball, they sought to es-tablish control of the flow of the game to mount a successful scoring attack.

“We came in working to maintain pos-session of the ball. That is our style of play. We made that work in the first half,” the Jaguar coach said after the game. “But Her-itage stepped up the attack and the drive to challenge us in the second half. They pressed the attack frequently but our back line and goalkeeping kept the ball out of the net. The defense has been solid all year, and I believe this is our ninth or tenth shut-

out this season.”Both teams created scoring opportuni-

ties. But, at both ends of the field, the de-fenders and goalie combined to keep shots out of the net. The only exception came about midway through the first half when Gabe Krzywdzinski drilled a line-drive shot at goal from about 35 yards out.

“The long shot is sort of my specialty,” Krzywdzinski said after the game. “Today, we were pushing up field when I had the ball come to me across my body. I settled it on the ground and, when I looked up, I saw there were no defenders in front of me and the goalie was off line so I took the shot. I didn’t aim. I just shot a prayer at the goal.”

The junior midfielder said seeing the ball go into the net was the best feeling he has had in his life.

The bald and the beautiful Rocky Vista shows support for student battling cancer By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

There were so many bald heads un-der Rocky Vista University’s roof, one could have easily mistaken it as a con-vention 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. Thousands of dollars were raised for the Susan G. Komen founda-tion, and the camaraderie among the students was further solidifi ed Nov. 1.

Valentine, 37, was diagnosed with breast cancer in June. Her chemo-therapy treatments have left her com-pletely bald, but she rocks the look with confi dence. When the school

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

The second fl oor of the univer-sity, packed with supporters, buzzed with excitement, nervousness and the sound of clippers run by a handful of stylists from Floyd’s 99 Barbershop. Women lined up to get thin pink ex-tensions 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 partici-pates in at least one community char-ity event per year. Gilsdorf, who says he knows Valentine “a little,” 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 clippers.

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 be-half of Valentine.

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

Valentine must undergo radiation treatment and surgery, but her spir-its 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 coolest things of my life.”

She said it speaks to the character of medical students and their willing-ness to step up for others in need.
