Answers sought in teen suicides State’s second-leading cause of death among young people claims 4 locally in 2 weeks By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four Douglas County teens were lost to suicide in less than two weeks — a number equal to the total of teen suicides in the county in 2013. The deaths recorded between Jan. 31 and Feb. 11 appear unrelated

and do not point to copycat syndrome. “We have not found there’s any communication, any tie between them,” Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas said. “But like many of the suicide cases we have sadly investigated, mental illness can play a role in suicides.” Thomas would not discuss specifics about any of the cases, including the manner of death and what led to the fatal decisions. The children range in age from 15 to 17, and include 15-year-old Mountain Vista High School sophomore Robert Klamo. He

fatally shot his mother and then himself in their Highlands Ranch home Jan. 31; he reportedly was undergoing treatment for mental illness. Two of the four attended Douglas County High School. The teen deaths have prompted communitywide concern. The Douglas County School District sent an email to parents that included suicidal behavior warning signs, resources and tips for talking to students. Two Castle Rock churches held prayer vigils. The cases haunt Thomas, who has studied suicide extensively to try to slow or

prevent the incidents, and who visited this week with one of the teen’s parents. “These parents loved this kiddo desperately and they did everything they could,” she said. “It’s almost like he was this fragile little Christmas ornament. They carried him along for so long to protect him, but something happened and he slipped out of their hands. “When I look in the eyes of these parents that are devastated…” Thomas trailed off and paused before continuing. “Gosh, what can we do to help these kids?” Suicides continues on Page 9

Substation clears first city hurdle

Top 10 clash

Castle Pines votes yes on initial reading; final vote expected to be taken on Feb. 25 By Virginia Grantier

have found the right person for the job. We chose Bob because of his experience with strategic planning, his broad knowledge of information technology, and his overall business acumen,” said Bob Morris, Douglas County Libraries board president. In Iowa, Pasicznyuk was project manager for two simultaneous building projects: a $46.6 million flagship library and a $2.5 million branch library. In addition, he reversed a decade of eroding library support and steady decline, according to a news release. “Over the years, Bob has been acknowledged numerous times by both his peers

Castle Pines City Council unanimously gave its preliminary OK to an IREA substation — a facility that would have structures up to 75 feet high and would be close to some rural homes in Happy Canyon Ranch Estates — without having a packet of information about the project. Prior to the vote, Linda Michow, Castle Pines’ city attorney explained to the council that voting in favor of it on first reading “simply allows the process to move forward.” She said the item has already been written about in the newspaper and legally posted on the property, advertising a public hearing. “Your approval … is not approving the application or the substance or the merits. It’s simply allowing it to move forward for second reading,” she said, adding that the second reading will be on Feb. 25. Castle Pines Councilmember James Einolf asked staff if the council was going to “get a package of stuff about this (project)” prior to that date. Don Van Wormer, Castle Pines city manager, said that staff would be getting information “to you quickly within the next couple days.” Einolf also asked if anything had changed with the project since the city’s planning commission — which makes recommendations to the city council — voted to recommend approval, and Van Wormer said no, that there hadn’t been any changes. Einolf said in that case it “would have been awfully easy for you to include that (planning commission packet) with this and I’m disappointed that you didn’t.” The proposed IREA substation would be located on about one acre, about a quarter mile east of Interstate 25’s Happy Canyon exit — and be within about 800 to 1,000 feet of the nearest home in the Happy Canyon

Former tech innovator to lead libraries Robert Pasicznyuk, a familiar face in Douglas County, replacing Jamie LaRue By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com Robert “Bob” Pasicznyuk, who had a reputation for changing the face of a library with technology tools, was hired in 2004 when Jamie LaRue, now retired, was Douglas County Libraries’ executive director. Then in 2009, Pasicznyuk — pronounced

Paz-nick — left his senior technology role when Cedar Rapids, Iowa’s library system, devastated by floods, needed a leader that could bring it back. He reportedly brought it back. Now, he’s back. The Douglas County Libraries Board of Trustees has selected him to replace the recently retired LaRue as the next director of the Pasicznyuk libraries and he’ll assume his new role on May 5. “With today’s announcement, we feel we

Candidates vie for four council seats Incumbents have challengers; vacated seats also contested as 13 candidates file paperwork By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com As of the 5 p.m. Feb. 14 deadline, there were 13 candidates for four Castle Rock Town Council seats. And there could be one more for District 6: A petition was submitted without enough valid signatures, so it is in a “cure period.” “The (town’s municipal code) specifically provides for a cure period, during which a petition may be amended `to correct or replace those signatures the Town Clerk finds are not in apparent conformity,’ ” Castle Rock Town Clerk Sally Misare said. Meanwhile, in District 3, incumbent Councilmember Jennifer Green has four challengers wanting her seat. In District 5, incumbent Councilmember Renee Valentine in District 5 has two challengers. In District 6, in addition to the petition in question, there are three candidates who want the seat being vacated by Councilmember Clark Hammelman. And for the District 7 seat, being vacated by Councilmember Joe Procopio, there are two candidates.

District 3

• Incumbent Jennifer Green has a bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies from Colorado State University. She works in the communications industry and currently manages global offers and contracts. She wants to continue to work to bring jobs to Castle Rock, expand the solution for long-term water and help maintain Castle Rock’s small-town charm. “Faith, family and freedom are the cornerstones of our country and our community.” • Challenger Gordon C. Rollins, a retired U.S. Army Adjutant officer and currently an adjunct faculty member at Capitol College, strongly supports Constitutional values, advocates fiscal restraint with public funds, wants strong public safety programs and limited government. • Challenger Brian Tobler, a commercial banker, said he wants to help maintain and/or appoint top talent into management positions. He also will “champion conservative principles that abide by the Constitution of the United States and our God-given rights.” • Challenger Jennifer B. Bennett, was a regulatory attorney for a Washington D.C. firm before starting her own estate-planning practice. She currently is a stay-athome mom who volunteers and wants to use her background to help make decisions on land-use and development, resource management and impacts of population growth on the sense of community. • Challenger Stephen Muller , a retired

police officer, said he is concerned that ideology and politics in Castle Rock have replaced common sense and what’s good for residents. He wants to “return to the bottom line in local government,” provide infrastructure and services, and plan wisely.

District 5

• Incumbent Councilmember Renee Valentine, first elected in 2011, worked for Marriot Hotels and Resorts when she was transferred to Colorado. In 2005, she began a real estate career. She said her goal is to strive for smart economic growth, solidify the water supply for future generations and maintain small-town charm. • Challenger Floyd Bacon, a U.S. Navy veteran, started a family business in 1997 in Castle Rock and has served on the town’s Liquor Licensing Authority. He said recent issues in town regarding public art, gun control and growth have himself and neighbors questioning why decisions were made that didn’t seem to reflect the will of the people. • Challenger Charles Fletcher — No information yet available.

District 6

• Candidate David Hickey, an account manager for Fidelity National Title Company, said he thinks his district would benefit from a strong downtown district and supports additional improvements “such as a walkable `Live, Work, Play’ community with multi-use developments between In-

terstate 25 and Wilcox Street,” and he supports a beautification project between exits to draw people to downtown shopping. • Candidate Matt Werner, a long-time general-practice attorney, said he’s running because he doesn’t want his district to be “transformed into an overbuilt overcrowded, noisy and impersonal place to live like some cities to the north of us.” Werner is currently president of an international nonprofit organization that provides humanitarian assistance. • Candidate George Teal — No information yet available.

District 7

• Candidate Max Brooks is now a digital marketing consultant after 20 years with Clear Channel Radio as a producer and other positions. He has served on the Castle Rock Planning Commission and is currently vice chairman of the town’s Utilities Commission. He’s running to continue the work of securing a “safe, affordable, renewable water supply” and wants to be a steward for responsible growth. • Candidate Brett J. Ford, has been in the financial services industry for 23 years, and has lived in Castle Rock since 2005. He said he believes in respecting Constitutional freedoms and is a “true conservative that will respect the rights of our citizens and work diligently to bring our community together to solve problems.”

Woman thrives with experimental cancer drug Ellen Smith, of Centennial, is a `pioneer’ in groundbreaking clinical trials By George Lurie

glurie@coloradocommunitymedia.com In March 2008, Willow Creek resident Ellen Smith developed a nasty cough. “My doctor treated it as pneumonia but it just wouldn’t go away,” Smith says. “Finally, he sent me to the emergency room, where they discovered a large mass on one of my lungs. I never was a smoker so it was a big shock.” After Smith had a lung removed in August 2008 and then spent the following year battling lung cancer, her doctor told her the disease had progressed to Stage 4 and nothing more could be done. “It was a death sentence,” says Smith, 64, a former Douglas County kindergarten teacher. “But my family and I just didn’t

accept it.” So Smith sought a second opinion, making an appointment at the Anschutz Medical Campus of the University of Colorado Hospital’s Cancer Center. She had heard doctors there were doing clinical trials on an experimental lung cancer drug. Made by the drug company Pfizer, the experimental drug, Crizotinib, was somewhat controversial when it was introduced in 2009, in part because of its cost — nearly $10,000 for a month’s worth of treatment. In June 2009, Smith was accepted into the CU Center’s program and became one of the first people in the world to receive the experimental drug. “It was exciting, but it was also frightening,” Smith says. “There were no precedents.” Almost immediately after starting the drug regimen, Smith began to feel better. While the Crizotinib did have a number of side effects, it kept her cancer in remission for two years. Smith took full advan-

tage of her new lease on life: She got married again, watched her daughter get married, traveled with her husband to Europe and welcomed three new grandchildren to the world. “I’ve had a fantastic support system,” she says. “There’s a reason I need to be here. There’s a lot to live for.” Smith’s remarkable story of survival is inspiring — and encompasses many “firsts in the world of lung cancer research,” said Dr. Ross Camidge, director of the lung cancer program at the University of Colorado and Smith’s oncologist. “Ellen originally came to see me for a second opinion,” Camidge explains. “When we examined her, we found she had this very specific molecular abnormality in her cancer. Even if you look within the lung cancer, there are very specific subsets of cancer on the molecular level.” Smith’s subsets responded very favorably to Crizotinib. “It’s not a cure but it’s a great way of controlling the cancer,” Camidge said. While Camidge marvels at Smith’s tenacity, Smith is also a big fan of her doctor. “He is brilliant and yet so down to earth,” she says. “I couldn’t ask for a better doctor.” In 2011, when Crizotinib stopped working, Smith again became a medical

pioneer, undergoing a new kind of “targeted chemotherapy” that Camidge says kept her cancer at bay for another 18 months. “After we learned how the cancer evolves to get around the drug, that’s when we started the new chemo program we call `weeding the garden,’ ” Camidge said. “Ellen has been the first to get these new types of treatment. They have beaten her cancer back — and proven new findings that will benefit many others.” These treatments include what Camidge calls “re-challenging” the cancer with the original targeted drug after intervening with chemotherapy, which the doctor says allows the cancer to “forget” about its previous resistance to the drug. Recently, a very small spot of Smith’s cancer has returned and Camidge has begun treating her with a second-generation version of Crizotinib. Smith remains upbeat and extremely hopeful that the medical advances she is helping prove will once again save her life. “There is so much research and discovery going on right now,” Smith says. “If you have to have cancer, this is the time to have it.” The Anschutz-University of Colorado Hospital and Cancer Center’s thoracic oncology program is among the top in the nation, with

During a trip to Italy, Ellen Smith said she was drawn to this tree, which is missing a portion of its trunk but is otherwise healthy. As part of her cancer treatment, Smith had one of her lungs removed. Courtesy photo five-year lung cancer survival rates almost four times the national average. “We in Colorado are so lucky to have the Anschutz Center right here on our doorstep,” says Smith. Patients travel from all over the U.S. and from as far away as Asia and South America to be treated at the facility. For many who receive treatment, Camidge

says, lung cancer isn’t a death sentence but rather a chronic condition. “If Ellen hadn’t come for that second opinion, she would be dead,” Camidge said. “Sometimes it’s scary to be a pioneer. But Ellen has real steel inside her. When she agreed to treatment, she told me: `Somebody’s got to go first.’ ”

Years, decades, after returning home from serving in Vietnam, veterans and Purple Heart recipients, Frank Griggs and Jeff Birdwell, decided they wanted to give back to the veteran community of Colorado. And in January, they started a chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. Chapter 1041, named after Griggs’s boot

camp unit in the Marine Corps, is located at the Elks Lodge in Arvada, 5700 Yukon St., and will serve veterans across the Front Range, west of I-25, south near Highlands Ranch to north in Broomfield. “We try to stay in our community and have that presence and by cooperating with other organizations in our area it helps everybody,” Griggs said. The organization will be working on several projects in the community, including the Star Spangled Banner program with the Arvada Harvest Festival; organizing a color guard; obtaining a tolling bell and placing a Purple Heart Memorial in Westminster’s Armed Forces Tribute Garden. By working in conjunction with local associations such as the Elks Lodge, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and the American Legion, Chapter 1041 members are working to establish a valuable community presence while ensuring help to all veterans, not just Purple Heart recipients. “The Purple Heart organization is more than a group of guys with Purple Hearts meeting, chapters provide funds for Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospitals, nursing homes, and veterans,” Griggs said.

Serving veterans in other areas through the support and honor of the Military Order of the Purple Heart led Griggs to want to start his own chapter in an underserved area of Colorado, helping veterans connect with other veterans and receive assistance. “I want to help people and show our veterans the respect due them,” Griggs said. “I don’t want the recognition, I want to see the organization grow and help our veterans by providing things other people can’t provide.” Since their inception in late January, the chapter has gained 24 members, and they’re hoping to add more recipients to their roster, specifically female veterans and younger Iraq and Afghan War veterans. “We want people to be proud of their Purple Heart, it’s the oldest military honor, and very prestigious,” Birdwell said. “We want our members to feel a part of an elite organization.” Chapter 1041’s next meeting will be held at 10 am. March 8, at the Elks Lodge 2278, 5700 Yukon St. in Arvada. For more information about the Military Order of the Purple Heart or to join, contact Frank Griggs at 303946-3321.

Christian Brothers coming to town Castle Rock couple opens auto repair shop based on Christian values By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia.com It won’t be possible down the road to get a car repaired on Saturday and Sunday at the new Christian Brothers Automotive shop in Castle Rock, say the owners, Steve and Andrea Peterson of Castle Rock. For a couple of months, the new store at 5271 New Abbey Lane, which opens at 7 a.m. Feb. 24, will be open on Saturdays while they develop a customer base, but after that it will be closed all weekend long, Saturdays and Sundays, so employees can have that time off. “Everyone has the right

to a family life,” Andrea Peterson said in a recent interview. And that’s only one of several operational requirements for this faith-based store that’s the 125th store in the Christian Brothers chain, started in Houston by two born-again Christian friends who were frustrated about not being able to find a trust-worthy mechanic. Franchise owners such as the Petersons must be born-again Christians, but it’s not a “hard-and fastrule” that employees are, the Petersons said. What is hard and fast is that the shop operates with Christian values in mind. On the back bumper of Andersons’ courtesy vehicle that will take customers to the nearby outlet mall, or grocery store, or other location, are the words, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” from the New Testament,

Matthew 22:39. Every quarter the Petersons, as well as the shop’s manager and two technicians, will participate in a community service day project — and twice a year they will provide free oil changes for low-income people. If the mechanics find something else that would make the car unsafe, they’ll repair that, too. The Petersons said they’ll enlist churches’ help to find people in need. This company is about “relationships, not transactions,” he said. Steve Peterson, who most recently was CEO of a company that owned and operated hospitals, said before they owned this franchise, he had been a longtime customer at Christian Brothers Automotive in Texas where they formerly lived. And he always had

their two daughters, college students, take their cars to a local Christian Brothers shop. “We know they won’t take advantage of them,” Andrea Peterson said. When Steve and Andrea Peterson, who had always loved Colorado for skiing vacations, decided on a new chapter, being empty nesters now with both daughters in college, they decided on Colorado — and on owning Christian Brothers franchise, in part because of the chain’s reputation for honesty and integrity. And they were greatly impressed during a meeting with the Christian Brothers’ founder and general counsel that they were asked to join them in prayer, to ask God to reveal if this was the right opportunity for the Petersons and for the company. Things fell into place,

and the couple moved to Castle Rock more than a year ago to get established in a church and in the community. Steve Peterson is on the town’s Public Works Commission, among other efforts. Andrea teaches tourism and hospitality classes at Metro State Uni-

District files notice to appeal election ruling School leaders say the judge’s decision could limit communication with public By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com When a judge ruled that the Douglas County School District violated campaign-finance law in the lead-up to the November school board race, the decision left the board intact and the district was not fined for its actions. But DCSD has moved to have the ruling overturned, saying if left to stand, the decision would severely limit its ability to communicate with the public. On Feb. 13 — just inside the 49-day window open for it to do so — the school district filed a notice of appeal with the Colorado Court of Appeals. The filing is short on details, but notes an appeal may question if the Administrative Court erred when it found DCSD’s pre-election distribution of a district-fi-

nanced report constituted a contribution to the reform candidates’ slate. Those four candidates, including incumbents Doug Benevento and Meghann Silverthorn, and newcomers Judi Reynolds and Jim Geddes, won the Nov. 5 election. DCSD so far has paid more than $62,500 to the law firm representing it in the case. Unsuccessful school board candidate Julie Keim filed the case in October, alleging the district violated the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act and attempted to influence the outcome of the election in several instances. In a Dec. 24 ruling, Judge Hollyce Farrell agreed with her on one of the points — which Keim said was the central issue. The use of district funds to pay for a September 2013 report praising DCSD’s reforms was the equivalent of a contribution to the four reform-slate candidates, Farrell ruled, because many of those who received it were potential voters in the November school board election. The judge did not levy a fine because Keim did not request one. District officials said in late December

they would not only appeal, but seek to have their legal costs covered. The most recent statement, issued Feb. 14, does not mention pursuing legal costs. “The Administrative Law Judge seems to have concluded that it is unlawful for the district ever to disseminate positive news involving its education policy if there also are candidates running for school board, or who may even run in the future, who happen to be pleased by that policy,” reads the email attributed to Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen. “The district does not agree with the Administrative Law Judge and believes her ruling is simply inconsistent with the law of Colorado.” The ruling would limit or “even silence” the school district’s ability to communicate with the community about important policy matters for “extensive periods before, during and after school board elections,” the statement continued. “We believe the Administrative Law Judge’s ruling, if left to stand, would effectively muzzle our school district and all public bodies from undertaking appropri-

ate, meaningful communication with the relevant community, now and in the future, unrelated to any specific candidate or campaign.” Keim said she’s disappointed in DCSD’s notice of appeal. “But I’m not surprised,” she said. “I just think once again they put their own selfinterest and egos ahead of taxpayers and students. “Public institutions should be able to disseminate unbiased information. However, the district’s actions went over the line and violated (the campaign act). I believe the judge’s ruling says it best: `The Hess Report was not a third-party, unbiased study’ and `The Hess Report was purchased with public money to influence the outcome of the Board election.’ ” The report titled, “The Most Interesting School District in America?” was written as part of a DCSD contract with Rick Hess of the American Enterprise Institute. The district emailed 85,000 community members about the “just-released white paper” in mid-September, and did not identify it as a district-paid product.

School district seeking public relations help Bids sought as communication expenses continue to rise By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County School District is looking to hire a public relations firm. When asked why the school district needs a PR firm, spokeswoman Paula Hans wrote in an email, “We constantly review ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our communications.” The request for proposal asks for qualified public relations firms to “assist the community relations and development department” in “crisis communications, media relations and training, social media

development (and) branding DCSD,” by developing new communication methods and PR marketing/strategy. The RFP is not posted on DCSD’s website, but on the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System website. It notes that the contract for additional communications services will be “a firm, fixed price,” but doesn’t specify an amount. “This is not a competitive bid,” states the request, which allows DCSD to “select the vendor that best meets the needs of the district,” based on price, products, service capabilities and vendor qualifications.” The effort to hire a PR firm comes as the district’s spending on communications continues to rise sharply. In the last six months of 2013, the district spent about $325,000 in communications-

Francesca Battistelli, a vocalist with multiple Dove Awards, and Sanctus Real, a Grammy-nominated band with eight No. 1 singles, will perform at 6 p.m. March 7 at The Rock Church, 4881 Cherokee Drive, Castle Rock, with the proceeds going to benefit the church’s school. The school offers preschool through fifth grade and has plans to add sixth grade soon. Concert proceeds will go into a scholarship fund to help families afford a private Christian education and to the school’s building fund. Tickets are $16 for general seating and $42 for a VIP ticket and opportunity to meet the artists. For more information, go to www.therock.org/events.

`Star’ artists, students wanted

Stars for Douglas County — a non-profit organization that helps support visual-arts education for Douglas County youth — is putting out a call to all artists to think about painting a star. Professional and amateur artists are commissioned to paint large-scale sculptures of stars, which, after being auctioned off at the organization’s annual fund-raising masquerade ball, become permanent fixtures at local businesses and organizations in the Douglas County area.

Both artists and students have a March 14 deadline. Artist will need to submit their work on the www.Starsfordouglascounty. com website. The organization is also looking for high school seniors who want to apply for a college scholarship. Students will find scholarship forms on that same site.

Public invited to sign up for `Police Academy’

March 12 is the deadline to apply to experience the free 10-week Citizen Police Academy where Castle Rock police officers will teach everything from how they investigate crimes and enforce laws, to other aspects of the job. Self-defense and firearm safety also will be covered. “This combination of classroom and hands-on training is a great opportunity for both residents and officers,” said Cmdr. Jason Lyons, who leads the program. “It really builds a partnership. It is another way for the community to get to know our officers, and for our officers to get to know residents.” The classes will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. on Mondays, starting March 24 and are limited to 30 participants. To apply, fill out and submit an application online at CRgov.com/academy. For more information, call Lyons at 720-733-6016 or send an email to jlyons@CRgov.com.

related expenses — nearly six times as much as it did in the same six-month period in 2012. About $217,500 of that was paid to Educational Measures LLC to redesign the district’s website. Some community members debate the necessity of enhanced communications, including hiring a PR firm. “As a taxpayer, parent, and grandparent, I question why DCSD needs a public relations firm when it has full-time communications professionals,” said Highlands Ranch resident and business owner Judith Purcell. “In its request for proposals, DCSD listed `crisis communications’ assistance as (a) PR need. However, DCSD could avoid this need and the associated expense if it

stopped creating crises of public confidence in Douglas County.” Also part of the spike in spending in the latter half of 2013 was $33,000 paid to marketing company Strategic Advantage, reportedly contracted to help write content and produce stories for the district’s electronic and printed newsletters. District officials say the increase is an investment that pays off in much-improved communications. “Two years ago, one of the biggest complaints we heard was regarding the quality and quantity of communication,” Hans wrote. “Over the last two years, we have invested in our district communication efforts to improve quality and consistency, as well as developing new tools.”

opinions / yours and ours

Freshen up with the newness factor Don’t you just love the feeling of receiving something new or experiencing something new? I sure do. And I am a traditionalist by nature, some may even say very set in my ways and in my thinking. And yet I still enjoy that feeling or sense of “newness.” Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint on or in the house, new hardwood floors or carpeting, the smell of a new car, the feeling of new furniture or a new mattress, or maybe a new home or place to live, there is just something fresh, clean, and exciting about “new.” They even sell stuff that we can spray that fills our cars with that “new car” scent. Maybe it’s a new job or a new position. Maybe it’s a new city or location. And maybe, just maybe, it’s the sense of adventure that something or anything new creates in our hearts and minds.

The “newness” factor is cool for sure, but I also believe there is a lot to be said for just viewing some of what we already do, some of what we already have, and a little of who we are through a “new” lens. You see “new” doesn’t always have to be brand new, “new” can be perspective too. Our car with a fresh coat of clean and wax, windows cleaned and maybe even a little of that new car air freshener could bring back a little of that same excitement as

letter to the editor More than one amendment

I would like to thank the organizers of the petition to stop the repeal of the open carry restrictions in Castle Rock. I believe the four council members voting for it are doing so ignoring the public feedback. I am not opposed to guns, gun ownership or concealed carry permits, but I am tired of the selective argument of Second Amendment rights by the mayor and others. The Second Amendment actually reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” So how is the open carry proposal connected to a well-regulated Militia in Castle Rock? Is there a proposal for a well-regulated Militia? It is that part of the Second Amendment that is never discussed by gun proponents, only their “rights.” But the Constitution has other rights articulated, such as the First Amendment right of “the people to peaceably assem-

ble.” Some, including myself, would argue that the presence of assault rifles or other automatic weapons infringes on our Constitutional right to peaceably assemble. I think that was what the planning commission members were also expressing, and they have that right. Which brings me to the Ninth Amendment — anyone familiar with that one? It reads, “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” For me, that means your rights don’t automatically trump mine no matter how loud you may get. What we need is to exercise restraint and compromise and maybe a democratic process like voting is a good way to do just that. And if half the people choose not to vote, as happened with the last election, then win or lose, so be it, the democratic process was followed. Steven Johnson Castle Rock

A look at long-term investing Investors are not likely to be successful if they view their portfolio as something that needs to perform every day. This age of instant gratification and constant information has trained us to focus on the wrong calendar. Instead of worrying about this month, quarter or year, we should be looking at different phases of the life cycle and invest based on our own time clock. One of my favorite authors, Dr. Ken Dychtwald states that our life span used to be linear. We went to school, got a job for life, lived in the same house for at least 30 years, retired with a pension and died of old age. Now we have different phases of life. We may go to back to school several times, change jobs and houses on average five times or more, and … there will be no pension. We may also have phases of high expenses such as college or relocation, elder care or raising more than one generation. Our life currently moves in cycles rather than a straight path. Our investments should reflect this. It is contrary that the longer we live and the more dynamic our life patterns are, the shorter-term our investments become. Ideally, it makes more sense to invest one pool of money — such as an IRA or 401k — for 30 or 40 years. Therefore, it does not matter what the account balance is today or tomorrow, in fact you might consider choosing investments more for an inflation hedge, than current return. Otherwise you could find yourself halfway through retirement with no cost of living clause in your income. Based on Ned Davis Research, the average holding period of stocks has decreased from 20 years from 1939 through 1970 down to just 1.67 years in 2012. This can be based in part on the fact that until the 1970s, the typical investor was a wealthy family passing down holdings from one generation to the next. Today, the largest share of investment activity is driven by retail investors.

Historically, the focus was on fundamentals and long-term growth. Today, the focus is on today’s news or economic report. The media is partly to blame as they are paid to get your attention. This works best through hype and making insignificant information sound exciting. The average investor does not know what commentary is relevant and what is general noise since the announcers do such a good job of reporting with enthusiasm. Better use of technology also has a role in the short-term focus. A vast amount of timely information is available in every medium at no cost. You don’t have to listen to Granddad explain about the Great Depression and what price he bought the blue chip stock you now own, you can find anything you need on your phone in an instant. This constant stream of data causes us to think we could bypass losses by understanding the latest economic reports. In reality, markets work in very long cycles, rarely impacted by one quarter’s earnings or jobs report. Returns compound over time, which gives the investor the best riskadjusted returns. Making short-term changes rarely enhances your long-term performance. It is important to have a strategy and time frame for each goal. Enlist the help of an advisor or mentor to diversify your investments and rebalance your portfolio to keep profits working for you. We don’t have to go back two generations to learn how to invest. We should Kummer continues on Page 9

when we first purchased the car. If our jobs have become mundane or boring, you know the same-old, same-old, day in and day out, maybe it’s because we stopped looking at the work we do with fresh eyes or inspired meaning. Sometimes the best “new” job is the job we already have, we just have to adjust our scope and look for the good, even look for opportunities to do something new that will make things better for ourselves, our associates, and even our clients. Think about it, we can be in control of creating something new, viewing something new, and experiencing new things in our existing world without ever having to actually purchase something brand new. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a new car, I love new golf clubs and skis just as much as the next golf and ski enthusiast, however, what I really enjoy is having the

ability to look at my existing situation and surroundings and finding ways to build “newness” into those areas that need a little freshening up or excitement. Our homes, friends, cars, relationships, jobs, workout routines, and just about everything we have or do can be enhanced if we would just apply a little “newness” imagination and fresh coat of thinking to each and every situation. How about you? Is there an area in your life that could benefit from a little bit of the “newness” factor? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we look at every aspect of our lives through a “new” lens, it will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former President of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/Founder of www.candogo.com.

What’s that you say? It’s always something, isn’t it? Now there is something called “vocal fry.” I can’t even explain it. You will know it when you hear it. High school girls do it. It’s referred to as a “closing drawl.” It happens at the end of a sentence. There is something called “uptalk,” which also occurs at the end of a sentence. It turns everything into a question, as if something needs to be filled in by the listener. I had — had — a friend who began every statement with a question, which I felt obliged to answer. “Do you know how some people bite their forks? I think it is a sign of insecurity.” I never understood why she didn’t just say, “I think it’s a sign of insecurity when people bite their forks.” Perhaps it is her way of attempting to draw a listener into the conversation. She wondered why we stopped meeting for lunch. Also, have you ever “ssssshhhhhed!” someone in a library or a theater? It has a name. It’s called a “fortis voiceless alveopalatal fricative.” It’s just as annoying as whatever it is that you are “ssssshhhhhing.” Bob Hope used to make a throat sound in his movies whenever something startled him, or whenever Dorothy Lamour had a sarong malfunction. I used to practice it on Saturday mornings, and I finally got it. Now I find out it has a name. “Pulmonic-ingressive breathyvoiced rising tone neutral vowel.” It just sounds like someone who is partially gagging and gasping at the same time. Do you know anyone who tongueclucks? I don’t hear that very much anymore. It’s often a sign — a sound — of disapproval. We all misbehave much more

than we used to, so it would be non-stop tongue-clucking if we didn’t think we would be tongue-clucked right back. A tongue-cluck is referred to as an “alveolar, alveopalatal, or postalveolar click.” I have difficulty with some words. I have a heck of a time saying “Social Security.” And I can’t say “Little Italy” without taking it real slow. I once was told I had a “liquid L,” and that’s why pronouncing “Little Italy” is difficult. My parents named a dog “Lolly.” I refused to call her that. I called her “Janet” instead. I think I might have enjoyed studying speech disorders and speech impediments, and regional speech characteristics, like Professor Henry Higgins did in George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion.” (“Pygmalion” was made as a film, and titled “My Fair Lady.”) I think most of us can tell when someone is from Fargo, or Brooklyn or Mayberry. It’s not as easy as it once was, because we all move around more than we used to, and accents are intermixed. No one would ever be able to pinpoint my regional speech. It has no quirks. It’s quirkless. There’s probably a long name for it though. Smith continues on Page 9

Castle Rock explores becoming skiing, zip-line hub Two companies interested in developing synthetic snow, adventure services in new park By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com Castle Rock Town Council is considering the feasibility of a year-round ski resort destination with synthetic snow, as well as having a major zip-line adventure operation — both to be built in the town’s new 237-acre Philip S Miller Park just east of Interstate 25 and south of Plum Creek Parkway. “… If that park wasn’t already exciting enough as planned… these two next items… really provide for some really

Thomas and others in the mental health field hope publicizing the suicides will prompt vital conversations between teens and adults. In 2002, the suicides of four Jefferson County School District teens in an 11-month-period prompted community members to form the Second Wind Fund, which provides children and teens with 12 no-cost therapy sessions. The program has served 3,500 people in Colorado, and has

and community and is recognized as a leader in libraries,” Morris said. “He impressed us as a strategist and outstanding project leader. We are excited to have him join the team at Douglas County Libraries and lead the organization.” Pasicznyuk said some people perceive libraries as being only warehouses for books. But he said LaRue helped him realize how libraries could assist in fulfilling people’s dreams… and become the heart of the community. He said in Cedar Rapids, the main library is now the community’s hub.

Substation Continued from Page 1

Estates, a rural subdivision of about 200 homes on multi-acre lots. It’s needed to supply additional power for the 3,300-acre Canyons development — zoned for 250 acres of commercial area and 2,500 homes — just north of Happy Canyon Estates, as well as to supply power for other expected development in Castle Pines, an IREA spokesman told the New-Press in a past interview. At the January planning commission hearing, before they voted to recommend approval, Michael Anderson, president of the Happy Canyon Homeowners Association, told the commission he didn’t understand why the substation had to be located near Happy Canyon’s homes. He later told the News-Press he’d prefer the station be farther north in the Canyons’ designated farm zoning — 500 acres that runs along the east side of I-25 in between the Happy Canyon and Castle Pines Parkway exits. A couple other Happy Canyon residents who spoke at the meeting had mixed comments, one saying when he first heard about the substation it was about the worst news a homeowner could hear.

unique opportunities for not only the citizens of Castle Rock, but regionally for Castle Rock to be known for,” said Rob Hanna, director of parks and recreation. Castle Rock Town Council voted 6-0 on Feb. 4 to approve letters of intent with Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours and with Weston Solutions. The former company, owned by Franktown resident Ty Seufer, is the biggest zip line company in Canon City. The latter is a Pennsylvania engineering firm, which has a principal who was significantly involved in building a synthetic-snow facility at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. The letters of intent give both firms a certain amount of months to further evaluate feasibility of the projects, and while they do that Castle Rock agrees not to consider other vendors. Seufer, who has had 40,000 customers

since 2011 at his Canon City zip-line-tour service, said he thinks this project could bring “tens of thousands of tourists” to town and put Castle Rock “on the map.” Prior to the vote, Mayor Paul Donahue called it an “awesome project” and said if it were up to him it would open tomorrow. Councilmember Clark Hammelman wanted people in the audience to understand that letters of intent just allow more exploration of the possibility, to find out additional information such as how much traffic this would generate — it doesn’t mean the projects have council’s approval. A couple members of the public expressed concerns about the proposals, including Matt Werner, of Castle Rock, who recently announced he’s running for Hammelman’s seat. “Are we willing to sacrifice tranquility, beauty and order for benefits

that aren’t clear to me at this time?” He asked the council. Werner’s wife, Sylvia Werner, asked if the synthetic snow material, Snowflex, has any environmental impacts. She was told it’s similar to AstroTurf with a pad underneath and that any water produced is recycled. Another resident expressed concern about increased traffic, and about the cost of tickets, which, based on Royal Gorge’s presentation of prices for a zip line experience, ranged from $20 to $149. The project proposed for Castle Rock would have zip line experiences in which users could speed along up to about about 50 miles per hour, as well have other aerial adventures and use a climbing wall. Hanna said during the master planning of the park, in surveys taken, these are the types of activities residents have asked for.

proven highly effective. Second Wind Fund executive director Richard Eveleigh said Douglas County parents need to talk with their teens, and students need to talk to one another. “If you’re a parent, it’s absolutely important you have the conversation with your kids,” he said. “That is to say something like, `Hey, obviously there’s been a lot of talk recently about the tragedy of these suicides in your school or community.’ “Ask them specifically: `I need to know what’s going on for you. Is everything OK with you? Have you had thoughts of suicide yourself?’ And then the important thing is to really listen to what their response is. Usually, if you ask somebody a question about

suicide directly, they will let you know.” If parents have any concerns, Eveleigh suggested contacting their student’s school counselor. While Thomas sees no evidence the four recent deaths are related, teens are particularly susceptible to suicide contagion — an amplification of self-destructive emotions triggered by the death of a friend or peer. “It’s incredibly important kids don’t promise confidentiality,” Eveleigh said. “They should tell a trusted adult if they are concerned about a friend of theirs — a school guidance counselor, teacher, anybody who is likely to take action. “The definition of a good friend isn’t promising confidentiality. It’s promising, `If

you need help, I’m going to connect you to some help because what you’ve got to tell me is too important to keep secret.’ ” Students also can help with gestures and words that may seem small, but can have vital impact. “Being friendly to people, smiling at people in the corridor, being proactively social — that kind of peer support is really important,” Eveleigh said. “Being able to say, `You look a little lonely. Would you like to have lunch with us?’ Any positive kind of social engagement like that is huge.” Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people nationally. It is second in Colorado, according to the 2011 biannual Healthy Kids Colorado Survey.

“We just booked our 19th wedding in the building,” he said. And the high school seniors in a town 30 minutes away want to hold their prom at the library because it’s viewed as being that cool. But Pasicznyuk said he’s returning in part because Colorado is deeply in his blood — and because of this tremendous opportunity with another stellar staff. “I am honored and humbled by this opportunity. I look forward to joining this innovative organization and working in a community I have always thought so highly of. I am excited to work with the talented staff and our community partners as we continue to advocate for literacy and lifelong learning.” LaRue, who retired in January after 23 years, said recently that Pasicznyuk was the “key architect of the district’s move to self

check.” “He’s a very clear and strategic thinker…,” LaRue said. LaRue also described Pasicznyuk as a really bright and insightful man, who has a wonderfully dry sense of humor and is an historian and technologist by inclination. If he were to compare Pasicznyuk to any book or book’s character, “I’d put him as Lincoln in `Team of Rivals,’ ” he said.

derstanding that the Canyons had moved the substation to a better location with less impact and he appreciated that. Tom Matthews, who built his home in 1984, and will be about 800 feet away from it, said he appreciated that IREA planned to cut into the hillside, making the facility less visible. But that he would still see it from his home. The Canyons has agreed to put three evergreen trees on several homeowners’ properties to help block the substation and there will be some berming as well. Matthews told the News-Press later that while he appreciates the free trees, he’s never heard of a developer mitigating a project’s impact by impacting the homeowners’ properties. Matthews said he has a well and doesn’t really have enough water currently, much less for additional trees. Also, the developer is proposing to give him six-foot-high trees. That will block the view is someone is standing behind the tree. But what if they’re standing on the first floor of the home? He asked. Anderson said that last year when Happy Canyon won a fight to increase its commercial area and amount of homes to be built, the developer said there would be an openspace buffer between Happy Canyon and the Canyons. They didn’t say there would be a substation in it, he said.

Bill would expand free-lunch program Students would be eligible through high school By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com More Colorado school children would be eligible for free lunch at school, under a bill that passed a House committee on Feb. 10. Right now, kids who qualify for the state’s reduced lunch program can have their meal “co-pays” waived through the second grade. House Bill 1156 would make free lunches available to children through high school, if they qualify. “The reality is, when these families are hurting, they are hurting,” said Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, the bill’s sponsor. “And that doesn’t stop at the third grade.” Moreno — who once was a recipient of free and reduced lunches when he was a child — has paid close attention to school nutrition issues since he first came into of-



fice last year. During the 2013 legislative session, Moreno passed a bill that would require schools with high poverty rates to serve breakfast at the start of the school day. Moreno’s new effort passed the House Education Committee following a partyline vote of 7-6. Republicans balked primarily because the bill would send more money to the program that handles school meals in Colorado, which has been the recent target of an audit for mismanagement of state funds. The bill would mean that parents like Tamara Frawley of Thornton would no longer be required to pay any sort of reduced fee for their kids’ meals. In Frawley’s case, that amounts to about 40 cents a day, per child. “Forty cents doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re on a limited budget, it’s an insurmountable amount” she said. Frawley, who has two children who are enrolled at Mapleton Public Schools in Adams County, said she has struggled to pay bills ever since her husband was diagnosed with cancer six years ago.

“I hold down a 40-hour a week job and two temp jobs, but it still isn’t enough,” Frawley told committee members. Because many more children would be eligible for free lunches, the bill would require an additional $2.4 million in annual state funds to go to a state-run school meal program. However, those costs would be offset — and then some — through federal reimbursement through the National School Lunch Act. Federal reimbursement is expected to be substantially higher than what the state will be paying for the additions to the free lunch program. Mapleton Schools, through a pilot program, currently covers the reduced lunch costs of their students, a district where more than 70 percent of children qualify for the program. “We serve a community that is heavily impacted by the effects of poverty,” said Virgina Styles, assistant director of Mapleton Schools, who was reading a letter in support of the bill from Superintendent Charlotte Ciancio.

But committee Republicans wondered whether it was a good idea to send more funds to a state program that is not doing a good job of handling money right now. Auditors recently determined that the state’s School Lunch and Breakfast Programs forfeited more than $2 million in federal grants and reimbursement dollars, going back to 2009. Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, offered an amendment to Moreno’s bill that would set up an oversight task force to make sure that the money was appropriated correctly. “It hardly makes sense to expand a program that has obvious problems,” McNulty said. McNulty’s amendment failed. Moreno said he trusts that Department of Education administrators will implement the audit’s recommendations so that there will not be any problems going forward. The bill now heads to the House Appropriations Committee before it receives a vote from the full House.

m School board transparency bill advances

deredHB 1110 passes the House morefollowing lengthy debate ing a . Au-By Vic Vela tate’svvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com s forrants A contentious House floor debate preck toceded the Feb. 13 passage of a bill that aims to shine more light on school board memanch,bers’ private discussions. that House Bill 1110 would expand current ce tolaw that already requires the recording of all opri-conversations that take place during school board executive sessions to include those pro-involving attorney-client discussions. Nulty Most Democrats supported the measure, saying that it holds elected officials accountable for what happens behind mentclosed doors and bolsters the public’s right mple-to know. that But all House Republicans joined three for-Democrats in voting against the bill. Several e Ap-spoke out against the bill, calling it an afves afront to attorney-client privilege. They also argued that the bill unfairly targets a handful of school boards that have been the subject of controversy over executive session matters, including boards in Douglas and Jefferson counties. “This is targeted and punitive to a few school districts to this state,” Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch said. “We should not use the power of legislation to punish.” McNulty’s comments came during a Feb. 12 House floor debate. The House passed the bill the next day on a 34-31 vote.

Under the bill, sponsored by Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, recordings of attorney-client discussions during executive sessions would be stored and would be made available only through a successful petition through the courts. If a filer believes that what was being handled during executive session doesn’t warrant a behind-closed-doors discussion, a judge would listen to the recording to determine whether that information should be made public. If the judge believes that to be the case, the recordings would be released. The bill also requires that school boards post the topics that are discussed in executive session, the same way they do through the posting of board meeting minutes. The topics would require enough of a summary of what was being discussed during the session, but wouldn’t have to go into detail of the privileged conversations. “The value of this bill is for the community who wants to know whether our elected officials are using their privileges correctly,” Peniston said prior to the House vote. “It’s a transparency issue.” Peniston insisted that the bill is not directed at any particular school district. But Republicans believe otherwise. The Douglas County School Board has been the subject of criticism over its use of executive sessions. The conservative board has pushed for controversial reforms, including those that would limit the influence of teachers’ unions. New conservative members of the Jefferson County Public Schools Board of Edu-

cation have also received criticism. In December the three new members approved a lawyer’s contract without disclosing the terms during a public meeting. Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson, blasted the “terrible” bill, not only for what he feels is the unfair targeting of certain school boards, but for also being a veiled reaction to last year’s school board elections across the state. Last November, reform candidates were swept into school board posts at Douglas and Jefferson Counties. “I can’t believe how obvious of a target this bill is of certain school boards in this state, because of the fact that elections were won by reform groups in this state,” Priola said. Republicans also took aim at what they believe is a violation of attorney-client privilege. Rep. Bob Gardner, a Colorado Springs Republican who is also a lawyer, took to the well often to offer sharp criticism of the legislation. Gardner said the bill would make it difficult for attorneys to have candid conversations with their clients and it would soak up judge’s use of time. “This bill, more than any that has come before us, in my view is such an assault on public policy that it deserves the debate,” he said. But Rep. Mike McLachlan, D-Durango, said the “hysteria” over that aspect of the bill is unwarranted and that the bill would lift the “mask of secrecy” from the goingson at school board meetings. “The public does not like secrecy,” he said. “The public does not support secrecy

in any governmental body.” That sentiment was expressed by a few witnesses who testified during a Feb. 3 House committee hearing. Shawna Fritzler, the mother of a Jefferson County student, said the school board there ought to be more transparent and that its members are losing the public’s confidence. “On one level it’s ironic for every board that keeps the public in the dark and out of board meetings, they’re also asking for more involvement,” she said. “It’s scaring teachers, parents and community members. And that impacts the children in our schools.” The bill had its share of critics at the same committee hearing. Debbie Lammers, a St. Vrain Valley School District board member, said it’s unfair that the bill only targets school boards, but not other governing bodies. Last year’s version of the bill included city councils and other bodies into the mix, but it did not have the support inside the Capitol. The three House Democrats who voted against this year’s effort were Reps. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village; Rep. Diane Mitsh Bush, D-Steamboat Springs; and Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver. Pabon, a lawyer, seemingly argued in favor of the bill the day before the final vote, but he said that his no vote was ultimately based on his belief that the bill would create a slippery slope that would do harm to attorney-client privacy. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Core standards delay rejected ad index Bill would have pushed back start date of new school testing standards By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia. com A Republican-sponsored effort to delay implementation of controversial new standardized school testing mandates failed in a legislative committee on Feb. 13. The federal Common Core State Standards Initiative sets guidelines for what every K-12 student should know about math and language arts at each grade level, in hopes that the kids will be better prepared for college. During a Feb. 13 Senate Education Committee hearing, supporters of the initiative — which the state adopted into the Colorado Academic Standards in 2010 — lauded the assessment as an optimum way to set minimum standards that give kids the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in life. But opponents insisted that the standards are expensive, burdensome on districts to implement, and also argued that students are drowning in assessment tests already. That polarization was the motivation behind Senate Bill 136, which would have delayed all new, statewide assessments for a year. It also would have set up a task force designed to look into the adoption and implementation of the Colorado Academic Standards in an effort to determine whether the state’s participation in the Common Core initiative is worth it. “All it’s asking for is nothing special; no changes, just a time out,” said Sen. Vicky Marble, R-Fort Collins, the bill’s sponsor. Marble told the committee that implementation costs associated with the standardized tests are “enormous” and that the state would benefit from the delay. But the majority of committee members didn’t agree. The Democrat-led committee rejected Marble’s bill on a 4-3 party-line vote, following a lengthy and often emotional hearing that even resulted in a couple of lawmakers trying to hold back tears. Although he heard testimony that

“will give him a lot of things to think about going home,” Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, said he is supportive of the standards. “I am still a believer that we can build a set of rigorous standards,” he said. “I don’t think the answer is to pause on this.” States can voluntarily adopt Common Core standards and 45 states and the District of Columbia have done so. Colorado’s State Board of Education decided to adopt the standards after a study determined that the federal math and English standards were closely aligned with those that the state was already using. Colorado schools adopted the standards through its participation of the PARCC multi-state consortia — Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. Through PARCC, Common Core testing is set to begin next year. Testimony on Marble’s bill lasted several hours inside the Old Supreme Court Chambers, the Capitol’s largest committee hearing room. Supporters of the bill cited several reasons as to why committee members should put the standards on hold. Sandra Stotsky, a longtime educator and national opponent of Common Core standards, began her testimony by telling the committee that New York lawmakers had voted the day before to delay its Common Core implementation for three years. She said that New York has it right because Common Core’s math standards don’t prepare them for the next instructional levels and that the ability of local school boards to dictate their own curriculum “was wiped out overnight” by the 2010 State Board of Education decision. “(Common Core) is a sticky jar of molasses that was voted on by a State Board of Education that didn’t know what it was doing,” she said. Others were critical of the demands that assessments place on school districts’ technology. Stephanie Pico of the Cherry Creek School District said that lack of human and technological resources cause stress “and a sense of helplessness” among teachers who are already overwhelmed by technology issues. Others testified that the federal standards dictate curriculum, which

undermines local control of how schools should operate. Monument Academy Principal Lis Richard told the committee that the connection between assessment standards and curriculum is “inseparable.” “I believe the intentions have been good, but ill advised,” she said. “Adopting a national form of standards has never been proven to reform education. Our footprint for the instructional time we’re going to miss (leaves us) very concerned.” Others said that students are buried under assessment tests to begin with. George Sader, a former educator, testified that assessment standards like Common Core force a child who is slow to develop in school “to run faster than he can run.” “We’re reaching the point where we test more than we teach,” Sader said. But Common Core supporters said the standards help students develop critical thinking across all instructional areas and that it helps develop equity in the learning system. Elizabeth Miner, a physical education teacher who was named the 2014 Colorado Teacher of the Year, said the uniform standards provide students “a consistent and clear understanding of what students are required to learn.” And Jessica Keigan, a teacher at Thornton’s Horizon High School, said the standards “help kids grasp complex ideas.” Kerrie Dallman, president of the Colorado Education Association, said her organization strongly supports Colorado Academic Standards, which she said affords equal footing for students without placing a ceiling on what they can learn. Dallman said the problem isn’t with assessment testing, but with teachers’ lack of resources in the classroom. “A lack of resources negatively impact implementation of those standards,” she said. “It’s the perfect storm of implementation and lack of resources.” The hearing, which lasted more than six hours, became emotional toward the end with one witness offering tearful testimony in support of the bill. And Marble and Sen. Nancy Todd, D-Aurora, each had to compose themselves prior to the committee wrapping up the hearing.

Magazine ammo ban repeal efforts fail GOP lawmaker takes heat for comments made about Aurora theater shooting By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com As expected, Republican efforts to repeal a law that limits ammunition magazine rounds failed in majority Democrat legislative committees last week. But one of the hearings produced unexpected comments from a lawmaker who would end up having to do some damage control over his remarks concerning events that took place during the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. Sen. Bernie Herpin, R-Colorado Springs, told the Senate’s State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Feb. 12 that it may have been a “good thing” that Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes was carrying a 100-round ammunition magazine because it jammed. “If he had instead had four, five, six 15-round magazines, no telling how much damage he could have done until a good guy showed up,” Herpin told committee members. Herpin was trying to make the point that larger capacity magazines are unreliable and that fewer people were killed or injured because Holmes’ weapon jammed. He later apologized for coming across as being insensitive. Herpin’s comments were met with outrage by Tom Sullivan, the father of 27-year-old Alex Sullivan, who was one of

12 people who were killed in the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting. “I’ve had a lot of thoughts since July 20, 2012, and I can tell you that I never have once thought that it was better that that man walked into that theater with a 100-round drum, and opened fire on the over 200 people that were in that theater,” Sullivan said. Herpin is a freshman senator who won a recall election against John Morse last fall. Morse, who at the time was Senate president, was one of three Democratic lawmakers who were either voted out of office or resigned in the face of recall elections over their votes on gun bills last year. Herpin isn’t the only lawmaker who has raised eyebrows for comments having to do with gun legislation. Last year, Rep. Joe Salazar and then-Sen. Evie Hudak, both Democrats, made comments regarding rape and gun violence that, like Herpin’s comments last week, made national headlines. Herpin was in front of the committee to sponsor a bill that sought to repeal a law from last year that banned ammunition magazines from carrying more than 15 rounds. The bill was one of two GOPsponsored repeals that failed at the Legislature last week, each one falling on party-line votes in the Democrat-led General Assembly. Two days earlier, a House committee rejected a separate effort sponsored by Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, which also sought to repeal the magazine limit law. Holbert argued that limiting the number of rounds in a magazine is arbitrary and does

nothing to promote public safety. “This legislation doesn’t make us safer,” Holbert said. “It doesn’t limit a criminal’s ability to do something monstrous. All it does is punish a law-abiding citizen.” But Democrats and other supporters of magazine limits say the law saves lives because the fewer rounds that a killer can get off, the less damage they can cause. The law was drafted in response to recent mass shootings like the one in Aurora and at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School the same year. Jane Dougherty’s sister, Mary Sherlock, was a school psychologist who was killed during the Sandy Hook massacre. “Twenty-six souls were lost in fewer than 11 minutes that Friday morning,” Dougherty said. “We hear over and over again about gun owners having their rights taken away from them. … I ask you, `What about my sister’s rights?’” In a nod to the ramifications from last year’s recall efforts, Holbert tried to appeal to Democrats on the committee to seize the “political opportunity” by supporting his repeal bill. “Are you willing to risk political capital?” Holbert said. “I ask you to please keep an open mind.” But Rep. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette, took exception to Holbert’s comments. “I don’t think we should be making a decision based on what’s politically expedient or politically smart,” Foote said.

legislature briefs Bar closing-time bill moving forward

Legislation that would allow bars to stay open past 2 a.m. continues to move forward. The House on Feb. 14 gave initial approval to House Bill 1132 and was expected to send the measure to the Senate following a final vote this week. Current state law prohibits bars from operating between 2 and 7 a.m. The bill would allow bars to stay open as late as 4:30 a.m., with local government approval. The bill, which is sponsored by Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, was drafted in response to problems in downtown Denver, where police have had to respond to several violent situations as bar patrons exit drinking establishments at closing time. Supporters say by allowing bars to stay open later, there would be fewer people leaving bars at the same time. However, opponents believe the bill just puts more drunks on the streets later into the morning.

Flood legislation heads to governor

County governments would be allowed to use general fund dollars for flood-related repairs, under a bill that’s now headed to the governor’s desk. Senate Bill 7 allows county governments to tap into their general funds for bridge and road repairs that become necessary as a result of a natural disaster occurring, such as flooding. The bill has cleared both legislative chambers, most recently going through the House on Feb. 10. Right now, counties are prohibited from using funds for that purpose. The bill would give more leeway to local governments, so long as the governor declares a disaster emergency within that county.

Fallen deputy honored

Lawmakers last week paid tribute to a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy who was killed in the line of duty. A 27-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, Sgt. David Baldwin died on Jan. 26 in a head-on collision on Highway 93. Lawmakers held a memorial tribute to Baldwin on Feb. 11, with Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge, lauding Baldwin’s “highly-decorated” career. “We honor him for his dedication and service,” Schafer said. The tribute included a Colorado flag that was presented to Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office members.

College Affordability Act advances

A bill that would cap college tuition rate hikes and pump more money into financial aid cleared its first legislative hurdle on Feb. 12 as the Senate Education Committee passed Senate Bill 1, the College Affordability Act, following a 6-1 bipartisan vote. The bill would cap tuition rate hikes at 6 percent annually and would allocate an additional $100 million for colleges, with much of that money going toward student financial aid. The bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Prison credit bill moves forward

A bill that could impact a prisoner’s “good-time” credit cleared a House committee last week. House Bill 1114 would give the Department of Corrections flexibility to withdraw earned time credit that they receive for good behavior behind bars, if they re-offend in prison. The bill, which is sponsored by Reps.

Siblings shine in Puppy Bowl Franktown family fostered TV stars Loren and Laney By Chris Michlewicz

At least one team from Colorado had a good showing on Super Bowl Sunday. Loren and Laney, brother and sister Brittany Spaniel mixes that were fostered in Franktown, got starring roles Feb. 2 in Puppy Bowl X, the canine alternative to the big game aired annually by the Animal Planet. The program features pups from around the country that need a home, and Loren and Laney made the most of their moment in the spotlight by each adorably scoring a touchdown. Lisa Petri, president and volunteer at the Colorado Animal Welfare League in Castle Rock, said she was flooded with phone calls after the Puppy Bowl. Compassionate viewers reached out in the hopes that one of the siblings was still available, but, alas, the segment was filmed in October, shortly before Loren and Laney were adopted by families in Golden and Wellington, respectively. “People were very interested in them,” said Petri, who attended a Puppy Bowl party at the Watering Bowl in Denver and discovered the messages the next day. Petri, a Franktown resident, raised Loren and Laney during their first three months. She received a chance phone call from the Animal Planet in August asking for entries for the 10th installment of the popular Pup-

py Bowl. More than a month after sending in audition tapes, both Brittany Spaniels received an invitation to New York. With help from Petri and her husband, Kyle, the puppies packed their beds, food, bowls, toys, chewies, leashes and vet records and headed off to the airport. “Growing up in Franktown, Colorado, the puppies had never seen anything like New York City,” reads a travel log entry on the welfare league’s website. “Neither one of them had ever walked on a leash, been to a dog park or (been) driven in a taxi.” When it came time to perform, the duo delivered. They posed valiantly for “hero shots” that soon went viral online, and the Petris’ voices were taped while they described the siblings. The green room where the stars were staged was littered with more than 60 frolicking puppies and their foster parents. “Laney was in the first group and was quickly whisked off to perform. What a star!” Petri wrote in the travel log entry. “Kyle and I could watch on the television in the green room and we could see how well she was doing. She played with all the puppies and even splashed in the water bowl.” The hopefuls who wanted to adopt the puppies were disappointed, but Loren and Laney did their job by highlighting the importance of giving dogs without families a forever home.

Sonodas LoDo location closes

Kenny Sonoda, founding father of the Sonodas chain of sushi restaurants, has opted to call it quits on his LoDo eatery at 1620 Market St. after nearly 19 years. Sonoda, 65, is trying to retire, but his original spot at 3108 S. Parker Road in Aurora, a place he opened in 1995, will remain open. Here’s what Sonoda posted on www. sonodassushi.com: “With over 26 years in the business now behind me the time has come for me to hand up the knives and announce my retirement. And yet it is with more than a bit of sadness that I announce the closure of my Downtown Restaurant on Market Street on Feb. 15. “In 1973 I first came to Denver, Colorado, to help build and open the Gasho of Japan, a Japanese Hibachi style steak house in downtown Denver (1627 Curtis St.). In 1976, I returned to Denver to build a freestanding building of Gasho of Japan Restaurant. This time I build a replica of a 400-year-old Gasho farmhouse, found in Takayama City of Japan, the sister city to Denver, Colorado. This Gasho of Japan restaurant was located in DTC on Belleview and I-25 where Shanahan’s is currently standing.”

Chipotle a social media winner

According to the National Restaurant Association e-letter, Denver-based Chipotle’s position as lifestyle brand won the top spot on DigitalCoCo’s Restaurant Social Media Index, followed by McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Subway and Buffalo Wild Wings (all ick!) in the top five. Firehouse Subs and Hard Rock Cafe hit the top 10, both edging out Sonic and Jimmy John’s. The index measures influence, sentiment and engagement among more than 56 million social restaurant consumers.

Visit the worlds of the Maya Denver Museum of Nature and Science travels back in time 13 centuries By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com Excitement is high as the Denver Museum of Nature and Science opens a new educational wing and a major exhibit on the ancient — and living — Maya: “Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed.” The exhibit, organized through collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota; Museum of Science, Boston and San Diego Natural History Museum, is the largest exhibition about the Maya civilization ever to be displayed in the United States, according to the DMNS. It will run until Aug. 24. It combines artifacts that have not been exhibited before with hands-on activities and immersive environments such as an underworld cave, a recreation of a night sky and a mural room, enabling the visitor to explore once elegant cities as well as today’s Maya people.

IF YOU GO “Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed” will be at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science through August 24. The Museum is located at 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver. Hours are generally 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with some special additions. There will be ongoing related programs for adults and children. See www.dmns.org or call 303-370-6000 for information about programs, tickets and more. As they enter the exhibit, families will be introduced to the giant ceiba tree, which connected cities and villages with Heaven and the underworld, through its deep root system. Themes of death and rebirth are repeated in Maya narratives, found on monuments, in writings, in burial sites. The exhibit looks at royalty as well as the common people — laborers and servants. Replicas of ancient stone structures carry stories of royal dynasties. As these structures are rediscovered, the understanding of an ancient world remains a study in progress. Families will learn how archaeologists decipher the glyphs they discover —and kids can learn to make their own glyph, one of many interactive opportunities. A timeline explores the history and translation of

the glyphs. The Maya were sophisticated astronomers and a new show in the Gates Planetarium will elaborate on Mayan skies, in addition to materials in the Anschutz Gallery exhibit. Budding engineers will be interested in learning about construction techniques of cities, roadways, pyramids, while historians will be interested in ideas about the underworld as well as an introduction to an early ball game. Learn about life and death, diet and lifestyle through artifacts, a recreated tomb and excavation. A recreation of three small mural-covered rooms discovered in Chiapas offer scenes of life at court, celebrations, war and more dated in the late 8th century. Visitors are encouraged to look for artifacts pictured in the murals. One more exhibit looks at Mayan households, where goods were produced — and still are today. One can touch a backstrap loom and learn about food production. And then, there’s the history of chocolate…

barriers between groups of people. The CVA’s mission is to serve as a bridge between the university and the public and “… to provide diverse, high quality art experiences that advance the global urban dialogue.” Art lovers are invited to enter in the dialogue. Artwork by faculty members will connect with their communities in some way, depending on the individual artist’s inclinations and skills. Ceramic artist Teshai Johnson’s interactive installation, “Fluids,” relates to a prior survey of friends and colleagues about relationships with things they drink. She has made 300 cups and glasses with screenprinted responses — which will be pulled off display to serve guests at the opening reception.

Next year, RH will open a four-story, full-line design gallery in the space formerly occupied by Saks Fifth Avenue. “The intent of this larger footprint, full line design gallery is to showcase the depth of our growing product assortment,” said Gary Friedman, RH chairman and CEO. “Cherry Creek has been a successful location for our existing store and will be the first Rocky Mountain venue for this new broader expression of our brand.” At 53,000 square feet — four times the size of the current store — the new, fourlevel, full-line design gallery will feature an atrium, outdoor garden and rooftop park. The existing Restoration Hardware will remain open during construction of the new flagship store.

Castle Rock wrestlers advance Total of six Douglas County, three Castle View wrestlers head to state tournament By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Castle Rock will be well represented at the Class 5A State Wrestling Tournament this weekend at Denver’s Pepsi Center as Douglas County High School will have six wrestlers and Castle View three entering the battles for state championships. The nine Huskies and Sabercats were among 64 who battled their way successfully through a series of opponents to finish in the top four in their weight division at the Feb. 14-15 Class 5A Region 2 Tournament at Coronado High School in Colorado Springs. Pine Creek won the 16-team tournament, while Douglas County finished fourth with 146 points and Castle View was 11th with 63.5 points. Douglas County’s state qualifiers include Tannery Mooney (106), Jack Bullock (113), Robert Gambrell (145), Luke Engler (170), Zack Summers (220) and Adam Tate (285.) Gambrell and Tate were both regional champions. Gambrell won the 145-pound regional crown by edging Chase McElhany of Coronado, 5-4. “I wrestled the guy twice before and knew what to expect from him,” the DCHS junior said. “I don’t know how many other kids from our school have won regional wrestling championships and I know there have been and are wrestlers way better than I am who haven’t won a regional championship. So I feel this is a big accomplishment and it feels great.” Douglas County coach Gary Hartman has a lot to be excited about in his ninth year, as his Huskies are a young team with only two seniors on the varsity roster. “I have been working to have this team become what it was when Douglas County was one of the strongest wrestling programs in the state,” Hartman said. “I feel we have been making strides. Our program is getting near what I want it to become.” The Castle View wrestlers going to state include Gerimie Meier (106), Kaleb Geiger

Douglas County swimmers taste glory at state meet Castle View’s Costello named diver of the year at 5A tourney By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Kaitlin Costello of the Douglas County/ Castle View team may have finished second in the Class 5A state diving competition but she returned home from Thornton with a top honor after being voted by the state’s coaches as the Class 5A Diver of the Year. The Castle View senior was not the only Douglas County competitor to fare well at the swimming and diving finals Feb. 14-15 at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center, as Abigail Kochevar, a sophomore at Rock Canyon, captured the 100-yard backstroke with a winning time of 54.99 seconds. In addition to her championship swim, Kochebar finished third in the 50-yard freestyle. “It feels good to be a state champion,” said Kochevar. “I’ve been working on my backstroke for such a long time and to get this is like everything. I felt I had a chance but I was so overwhelmed with nerves and it helped to swim. Regis Jesuit edged Fairview to win the team title, 254.50-248 as ThunderRidge finished eighth and Rock Canyon came in 10th. ThunderRidge junior Annie Ochitwa recorded the state’s best times in the 50 and 100-yard freestyle events, becoming the only competitor with two individual titles at the year’s pinnacle event. After finishing second as a freshman and sophomore in the 50 and coming in second

Kaitlin Costello of the Douglas County/Castle View swimming team captured second place in the diving competition at the State Swimming and Diving championships Feb. 15. The state swimming coaches named Costello Diver of the Year after the meet. Abigal Kochevar of Rock Canyon,with medal, won the state title in the 100-yard backstroke. Photos by Jim Benton and third in the 100 the past two seasons, she was motivated to stand on top of the podium this year. Ochitwa captured the 50 with a time of 23.11 seconds, which was 0.15 of a second better than Legend junior Lauren Moden, who touched up for second. “I really wanted to win and I knew I could,” Ochitwa said. “After the past two years, it made it even better to win this year. I was confident but swimming against all these girls, you get nervous. But I was confi-

dent the whole time.” In the 100-yard freestyle, Ochitwa’s 49.92-second swim, again placed her ahead of Moden, who was second with a time of 50.45. “I put all the pressure on myself,” said Ochitwa. “I didn’t feel any pressure from anyone else. It’s amazing. It makes it so much better to win twice after the last two years. I definitely want to be first again next year.” Ochitwa, who became the first individ-

ual state swimming champion in school history, also swam a leg on ThunderRidge’s 200-yard medley relay team that was fifth. In Class 4A at the Eldora Pool Ice Center in Fort Collins, Valor Christian sophomore Brooke Stenstrom won two events at the state meet, capturing the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.66 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 51.70. She also swan the final leg of the Eagles 200 yards freestyle relay team that finished second to Thompson Valley, helping lead Valor to a fifth-place team finish.

Jaguars shoot past Sabercats in boys action Rock Canyon wins backyard battle with tourney seeding at stake By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rock Canyon and Castle View may have been eliminated from the Continental League’s boys basketball title chase but the schools recent clash was nothing short of important. Wins in the concluding regular season games are vital for both teams to improving seeding for the 48-team Class 5A state playoffs that are scheduled to begin Feb. 27. Neither team put on much of an offensive show on Feb. 13 but the Jaguars notched a 46-35 victory over the Sabercats in a game played at Rock Canyon’s Jungle. “Oh man, any win is important in this league,” said Rock Canyon coach Kent Grams. “There are no easy teams in this league.” Rock Canyon improved to 4-5 in the league and 11-10 overall with the victory. The Jaguars then played at Heritage Feb. 18 and wind up the league campaign with a Feb. 21 game at ThunderRidge. Castle View saw its record dip to 3-6 and 9-12 overall. The Sabercats had a Feb. 18 game at ThunderRidge before a regular season finale against Douglas County. “It was a huge game,” acknowledged Castle View coach Tory Mansfield. “We’re in the middle of our league with Rock Canyon and ThunderRidge. It was a devastating loss for us. We

Photo by Paul DiSalvo could have gotten ahead of Rock Canyon and ThunderRidge. Now we are behind both.” Rock Canyon started quickly, grabbing a 17-10 first quarter lead, and then survived a scoring famine in a low-scoring second period when the teams combined to score only 10 points. The Jaguars went ahead 20-12 on a three-point play by Luke Ewan with 6:44 in the second stanza but didn’t score again for nearly seven minutes until Evan Noyes’ basket with two seconds

remaining in the half. Fortunately for Rock Canyon, Castle View could only outscore the Jaguars 3-2 during the 6:44 before intermission. “They switched to a zone and we had a hard time making shots,” explained Grams. “They got us out of our flow. We had 17 points in the first quarter, we had a hard time adjusting to what they did in their zone. … You have to give a lot of credit to their defense. They must focus B:10.25” on defense a lot because they are

in a lot of games.” Poor shooting, however, doomed the Sabercats. Castle View shot 28.6 percent from the floor and was held to its lowest point output of the season. “We shoot a lot of 3’s and some of them were good looks,” said Mansfield. “But we shot 2-for-16. You can’t beat these guys coming up here and scoring 35 points. “Rock Canyon’s defense was very good. … We didn’t make shots. We had our chances. I can’t shoot for them.” Rock Canyon shot 42.4 percent from the floor and was led by senior Eli Hirsch with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Junior Tyler Garcia added 13 points for the Jaguars. “Eli played really well,” said Grams. “He’s had a yearlong (hip) injury and we’re so happy to have him back. … He’s still getting his legs under him and figuring out our system again, but he can really shoot the ball.” Hirsch, playing in his sixth game of the season, following a year of rehabilitation, had nine points in the fourth quarter and swished four free throws as Rock Canyon made 9-of-12 attempts from the foul line in the final 1:24 to preserve the win. “In the last five games we’ve had a lot of pressure situations, a lot of close games and we’ve missed those free throws,” noted Grams. “We have a lot of young players that need to step up and learn that they can make them. We did survive a lot. It was a gritty win against Castle View.” Matt Dowsey, who scored all of Castle View’s five points in the third quarter, led the Sabercats with 12 points.

Rock Canyon tops Castle View on hardwood Jaguars get best of Top 10 clash in girls basketball By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a Continental League showdown between two Top 10 girls teams, Rock Canyon edged Castle View, 66-60, on Feb. 13 at Rock Canyon. With the win, the Jaguars, ranked 10th in the Feb. 10 CHSAANow.com poll, bettered their record to 15-5 overall and 7-2 in league play with games against Heritage (Feb. 18), ThunderRidge (Feb. 20) and D’Evelyn (Feb. 21) remaining on the regular season slate. Seventh-ranked Castle View (15-6, 5-4) played ThunderRidge on Feb. 18 and wraps up its league slate Feb. 21 against Douglas County. Rock Canyon had four seniors finish in double figures against the Sabercats led by Lexy Thorderson’s 22 points. Kendall Koslosky added 12 while Erin McClarie and Morgan Roos each had 10. Thorderson and Koslosky have both surpassed the 1,000-point milestone in their Rock Canyon careers. Thorderson has scored 1,287 points and Koslosky 1,057. Savannah Heebner came off the Castle View bench to score 11 points and grab seven rebounds. Jess McGovern had 10 points and eight boards for the Sabercats. Castle View shot only 10 free throws in the game compared to Rock Canyon, which made 19-of-26 attempts from the charity line.

Wrestlers Continued from Page 20

Geiger, who hopes to play baseball in college, said he grew up playing on youth football, baseball and wrestling teams and that continued into high school. “We did pretty well at regionals but I think our whole team felt we’d have at least one more regional qualifier if Joe Hunsacker, who is recovering from a serious injury, had been here with us,” said Castle View coach Kevin Bracken. “Our kids battled hard, but, with a little luck, we could have a couple more state qualifiers.” Bracken said he sort of became Castle

View wrestling coach by default. “Three years ago, I took over the youth wrestling program and we now have 85 kids in our program,” he said. “At the same time, I worked with the high school coach and team. Last year’s coach resigned after the season and the school selected a new coach. The week before the wrestling season was scheduled to start, the man said he couldn’t take the position. The school asked me to be interim coach and I am still at it.” Bracken, who has a full-time job, continued to work with the youth team at two different locations plus coached the high school team. “Days are 12 to 14 hours long,” he said. “It probably is a real good thing I love the sport of wrestling.”

Injured wrestler honored at regional meet Joe Hunsacker’s condition report receives standing ovation By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Athletes and fans attending the Class 5A Region 2 Wrestling Tournament Feb. 15 at Coronado High School in Colorado Springs rose to their feet and applauded at the news Castle View wrestler Joe Hunsaker was showing improvement. Hunsaker broke his neck, suffering a serious spinal injury Feb. 1 during a wrestling match at Thomas Jefferson High School. The report said he was undergoing treat-

ment but faced a long road ahead in his bid to completely recover. A group of Castle View supporters launched an effort to help the family financially by selling T-shirts. The shirts are black with the message “Team Hunsaker” on the front. Wrestlers and fans from most of the 16 teams at the tournament were wearing the T-shirts on Feb. 15, day two of the tournament. Kevin Bracken, Castle View coach, said updates on the wrestler’s condition can be found on Facebook by searching “Joe Hunsaker’s battle back.” The T-shirt sale effort will also continue. For information on how to purchase a Tshirt call 303-601-2995 or e-mail cgmconstruction@live.com.

South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce announces Calendar of Events 4th Annual “B.I.G. Day” For a complete calendar of South Metro Denver Chamber Local nonprofits with projects to complete can apply Dozens of area non-profits with thousands of volunteers working together makes for a great day. And, that’s the goal for the 2014 edition of the B.I.G. (Be Involved Give) Day set for Saturday, April 26th from 8:30 to 12:00. The fourth installment of this annual event promises to be bigger and more productive than ever. “Last year’s event surpassed all our expectations,” says John Brackney, President and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “Over 300 volunteers spent a Saturday morning at 22 non-profit agencies. Non-profits got to showcase all they do to volunteers from the business community and relationships were created. Best of all, everyone had a great time. We expect this year to be continue the tradition of getting bigger and better each year!” B.I.G. stands for “Be Involved, Give.” Because of the huge success of last year’s event, the goal is to have over one-thousand volunteers spend Saturday morning at even more non-profits. Laurian Horowitz, Owner/Instructor of Colorado Life Lessons is again coordinating the sign-up of local non-

profits interested in taking part in what’s become an annual event that thousands look forward to. “The B.I.G. Day is an amazing day where our community can come together to volunteer.” says Horowitz. “For a nonprofit, it is a great opportunity to showcase themselves, to a new audience perhaps, and gain long term volunteers, monetary and in kind donations, as well as join forces with service organizations to complete huge projects in a short period of time.” Last year’s B.I.G. Day volunteers did everything from planting vegetables at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to painting and preparing for the summer season at Dinosaur Ridge, to trail clean up with the South Suburban Park Foundation, to putting together and delivering meals for TLC Meals on Wheels - the list goes on and on. Children are welcome for most activities making it a fantastic family event and one that will build a sense of community in young minds. Slots for nonprofit organizations to take part in this year’s event are beginning to fill up and Horowitz urges those interested to contact her either by phone at 303-257-9589 or e-mail

at Laurian@ColoradoLiveLessons. com. There are currently 21 nonprofit organizations signed on and nonprofits do not need to be Chamber Investors in order to get involved in this event. Sign up for individual and corporate team volunteers will begin on March 1st. Brackney adds, “Imagine all that we can accomplish with thousands of volunteers?! And all of the projects our community non-profits can get done through this great event!” For updated information about the 2014 B.I.G. Day, visit the South Metro Denver Chamber Meetup site at www.Meetup.com/bestchamber/ events/124096422 or contact Laurian Horowitz at 303-257-9589.

Golden Eagles skate into tourney on high note Scoreboard Playoff matchups set for 16team high school hockey field By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Mountain Vista’s hockey team got a preview of the state playoff competition in a Feb. 7 game against Lewis-Palmer at the Colorado Sports Center in Monument. In the battle of unbeaten league teams, the Golden Eagles captured the Peak Conference title and earned a No. 1 playoff seed with a 5-1 triumph over the Rangers. “They did a good job of playing against a good team going into the playoffs,” said Lev Cohen, coach of the consolidated Mountain Vista team that is made up of six Douglas County schools. “We’ve played the way we have all year because we want to be ready for the playoffs. I think we are ready to go.” Mountain Vista will host one of the four-team pods in the 16-team bracket for first and second round games on Feb. 21 and 22 at South Suburban Ice Arena. The Golden Eagles (18-1) will play Resurrection Christian (9-8-2) in a 7:30 p.m. game Feb. 21, while Regis Jesuit (15-3-1) plays Doherty (10-8) at 3 p.m. Winners will play at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 in a quarterfinal game with a berth in the Final Four at stake. Cherry Creek (15-3-1) will challenge Pine Creek (10-7-1) in a 4:45 p.m. contest at the Colorado Sport Center, as LewisPalmer (17-2) will face Steamboat Springs (10-6-1) in the second first round game played in Monument. Heritage (11-8) plays Columbine (117-1) at 8:45 p.m. at the Boulder Valley Ice Arena in Superior while Monarch (16-1-2) and Cheyenne Mountain (8-10) meet in the opening first round game. The other four-team pod features Ralston Valley (19-0) taking on Pueblo

‘The goal from day one was to get to the Final Four at the Coliseum. This team has the mindset and determination to prove that they belong.’ Lev Cohen, Mountain Vista coach County (9-8-2) at 6:45 p.m. and Bishop Machebeuf (12-6-1) facing Dakota Ridge (12-3-4) at 4:30 p.m. at the APEX in Arvada. The Final Four will be held Feb. 28 and March 1 at the Denver Coliseum. Mountain Vista has lost in the first round and quarterfinals the past two seasons and has its sights set on getting to the semifinals this year. “The goal from day one was to get to the Final Four at the Coliseum,” admitted Cohen. “This team has the mindset and determination to prove that they belong.” Mountain Vista will get leading scorer Ryan Daugherty back for its game against Resurrection Christian. Daugherty has missed four games because of a concussion. However, the Golden Eagles have lost forward Austin Ansay who broke his wrist against Lewis-Palmer. “Daugherty was cleared to play against Lewis-Palmer but we made the decision to give him the extra rest,” said Cohen. “We’ll have that top line back for Friday.” Daugherty will rejoin line mates Branden Tangney and Tanner Gillis. That line has combined for 57 goals and 120 points this season. Mountain Vista has outscored its opposition 176-16 with the Golden Eagles lone loss coming in a 4-3 overtime setback to defending state champion Ralston Valley. “Our goalie (Joe Morgan) is playing well,” said Cohen. “Our defense is solid.

Most importantly we are getting a lot of production offensively out of our defense, which is the new kind of hockey we play today. To have defensemen than can score is huge. “Matt Adams, our captain, has been just absolutely awesome all year. He has taken the lead on the ice and off. He’s playing real well. We’ve got a couple good young sophomores in John Newman and Michael Karas who have played awesome. All of our defensemen have played well.” Adams, a senior defenseman, has 11 goals and 31 points and he has combined with Newman and Karas to produce 19 goals for the Golden Eagles. Cherry Creek has won 10 of its last 11 games and leading scorer Cody Oakes, who has tallied 17 goals and 23 points, will direct the Bruins’ offense. Heritage and Columbine will be meeting for the second time this season. The Rebels scored a goal with 18 seconds remaining in the third period to post a 3-2 win over Heritage in the first head-tohead matchup of the season. “Both teams are evenly matched with goals for and goals against,” said Heritage coach Jeremy Sims. “We’re playing pretty well. We’re moving the puck a lot better. Jake Wener, our captain and Josh Mazar, a junior, are starting to play pretty well.” Mazar, who has 27 points, and Wener, 21 points, play on the same line for Heritage and key the Eagles offensive attack. Chad Curd is the leader of Heritage’s defensive front.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF FEb 17, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Some unsettling facts about a past situation could come to light. And while you’d love to deal with it immediately, it’s best to get more information to support your case. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A straightforward approach to a baffling situation is best. Don’t allow yourself to be drawn into an already messy mass of tangles and lies. Deal with it and move on. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Don’t be discouraged or deterred by a colleague’s negative opinion about your ideas. It could actually prove to be helpful when you get around to finalizing your plan.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Ignore that sudden attack of “modesty,” and step up to claim the credit you’ve so rightly earned. Remember: A lot of people are proud of you and want to share in your achievement. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A financial “deal” that seems to be just right for you Leos and Leonas could be grounded more in gossamer than substance. Get an expert’s advice to help you check it out. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Don’t ignore that suddenly cool or even rude attitude from someone close to you. Asking for an explanation could reveal a misunderstanding you were completely unaware of. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Unless you have sound knowledge, and not just an opinion, it’s best not to step into a family dispute involving a legal matter, regardless of whom you support. Leave that to the lawyers. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) An awkward situation presents the usually socially savvy Scorpian with a problem. but a courteous and considerate approach soon helps clear the air and ease communication. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A calmer, lesstense atmosphere prevails through much of the week, allowing you to restore your energy levels before tackling a new challenge coming up by week’s end. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your approach to helping with a friend or family member’s problem could boomerang unless you take time to explain your method and how and why it (usually!) works. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Someone who gave you a lot of grief might ask for a chance for the two of you to make a fresh start. You need to weigh the sincerity of the request carefully before giving your answer. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Too much fantasizing about an upcoming decision could affect your judgment. better to make your choices based on what you know now rather than on what you might learn later.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else. Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved!
