Referendum organizers turn in signatures Supporters of keeping the open-carry ban turn in 2,657 signatures to town clerk By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com They needed 1,887 signatures, but they got more. The effort to thwart a recent Castle Rock Town Council decision to repeal a ban on open-carrying of firearms in municipal buildings resulted in 2,657 signatures, said Siegfried “Ziggy” Guentensberger, one of the referendum organizers. The repeal of the ban was set to take effect on Feb. 27, but because the petition drive garnered enough signatures prior to that date it’s now on hold. Sally Misare, Castle Rock’s town clerk, now has up to 30 days to verify the signa-

tures. There is also a required protest period through April 7 to allow for the filing of any protests challenging the correctness of the process. After those steps are taken, town council will either reverse its decision on repealing the ban or direct staff to prepare an ordinance setting the matter for a special election. Guentensberger, who’s a volunteer baseball coach through the town’s recreation center, said he doesn’t know if he’s “built” to be a political activist, but he has been passionate about this issue. “I think it was really worth it,” he said, about the referendum effort that started soon after the town’s council’s Jan. 28 repeal decision. “I think people are becoming aware of it — this way it didn’t get just `snuck by.’” He said this experience reiterated for him why people need to pay attention to their local governments, and get a little Referendum continues on Page 9

Rock Canyon again shatters Wish Week record Money raised will make nine childhood dreams come true By Jane Reuter

From left, students Riley Hayes , Tori Pavillard, Caroline Skibness and Morgan Harrison display Rock Canyon High School’s record-setting Wish Week 2014 check.

Rock Canyon High School set another Make-A-Wish Foundation record Feb. 28, raising more than $72,500 in a week of fundraisers both on and off campus. The money will make real the dreams of nine children. It’s the fourth year a in a row RCHS has set a state, and likely a national, record for the foundation. In 2013, the school raised about $60,500. Isaac Lucero, the Lakewood eighth grader featured during Wish Week 2014, was ill and unable to attend Friday’s check unveiling and final rally in the RCHS gymnasium. But he was there for the week’s other events,

and already is planning a summer trip to New York City — the wish RCHS students ensured he’ll realize. “There are always the stereotypes about high school students, that they have a bad attitude about everything and are self-centered,” Isaac’s mother Desiree said. “But these students do an incredible thing. “It was more than Isaac could ever have dreamed of, so much more than I had ever imagined. He’d get home at night and couldn’t sleep because he was so amped up from the events. He was on cloud nine all last week.” Isaac, diagnosed with lymphoma at the age of 10, has suffered through years of seizures and the effects of chemotherapy. His long-term prognosis is good, but his mother said, “He had to grow up very fast. He didn’t get to be a kid.” In Isaac’s absence, some students held Wish continues on Page 9

Residents of Larkspur, population 100plus, could start receiving roughly between $2,000 and $20,000 per year from the town just for living there. That is, if voters OK allowing retail marijuana businesses and a 5 percent excise tax on sales, estimates a referendum organizer, James McVaney. According to the referendum’s proposed ordinance regarding the tax, the town could reap up to $45,000 the first year and then no more than an additional 3 percent above that, keeping it under the required TABOR cap. But all revenue after that would go to residents, McVaney said. Larkspur Mayor Gerry Been said the town council — which decided not to act on the proposed ordinances in a referendum organized by McVaney and Michelle Michelle Barhenn — was recently “forced to an election.” But Been said if that’s what voters want “that’s what I’m willing to do.” And he indicated the revenue possibilities are intriguing. “You’ve got to look at the revenue possibilities, in my book,” he said. “I’m staying neutral, but there’s lots of possible revenue.” Voters will decide on the proposed ordinances — to approve retail marijuana regulations and approve the 5 percent excise tax — at an April 8 election. In the past, the town hasn’t been welcoming to marijuana operations. Been said Marijuana continues on Page 9

Dreams over time, one at a time He has always dreamed. Of what could be. When he was 8, picking strawberries in the fields of his Mexican town. When, at 12, he left home for the big city to sell popsicles and snow cones to help his parents provide for their family. When, at 17, he walked from Tijuana over the mountain range into California, wanting the American dream. “Era muy triste — la pobreza,” he says. The poverty — it was very sad. “And it made me very sad. My dreams were different.” What he saw was a life of possibility — and music. Singing. Performing. Applause. And although it may not be exactly the original dream, what Ruben Escalera has now, at 54, is close enough to make him happy. By most days, Ruben is a school custodian who takes pride in keeping his Douglas County high school neat, clean, ready for the students who fill its halls. Other days, he trades his working polo shirt for a crisp button-down, his white baseball cap for a black cowboy hat, and steps onto a stage to croon norteño music in a deep, resonant voice before crowd-packed venues in several Mexican states. He is a wiry, compact man, a divorced father of three with brushes of gray in his sideburns and a closely trimmed beard and mustache. He walks with a measured step, and speaks with quiet assurance born of devout faith that seeks good in what comes his way. “Gracias a Dios, nunca me di por ven-

cido,” he says. Thanks be to God, I never gave up. “Luché, luché, luché, luché.” He fought, always. And there was much to fight. He lived in Corona, a rural town in Michoacán, a state just west of Mexico City. He was one of 13 children of a homemaker mother and a father who did everything from plumbing to bricklaying and construction. Some of his brothers cut sugar cane; Ruben did, too. Mostly he picked strawberries with two of his sisters. He’d arrive at the field at 7 in the morning and pick for an hour, then head to school. At noon, he’d leave school and return to the fields for another two hours, before finishing out the afternoon with play and homework — “the typical life of a boy of 8 years old.” Because he had to leave school to help his father, he repeated first grade four times. He never made it to second grade. “Es una tristeza,” he says softly. “It is a sadness.” That reality derailed an early dream to be a priest, to study in a seminary. Instead, at 12, he left home for Mexico City to sell popsicles and snow cones. He lived with seven others who rented a house together.

“I believed that was the best way I could help my parents,” he says. But another dream — the one in which he was a singer — stayed quietly alive. It was born in his home, among the instruments dispersed in corners — the guitar, the violin, the guitarrón of the mariachi tradition. His father played them all. His mother sang with “a precious voice.” And his brothers and he joined in also. “Nos traían esa herencia,” he says. They gave us that heritage. And much happiness. At 9, he had won his first singing competition at the local theater, the first of many such performances in those young years. But at 17, searching for a better life, he crossed the border illegally to join his brother in Los Angeles. He washed dishes and cars, worked in metal and carpet factories. He also learned to play the bass guitar and joined a mariachi group that performed in Mexican neighborhood nightclubs. It became a second, welcome source of income. His voice, smooth and sonorous, brought him work in variety shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas on long weekends. When he married at 25, he turned to norteño music, most comparable to American country music, Ruben says. And for seven years he performed with a band. During that time, in 1986, Ronald Reagan’s immigration policy, which provided amnesty to 3 million illegal immigrants, opened the door for Ruben to become a legal resident. But then came the “sickness in his throat.” Cancer. He stopped performing for two years to treat it, then joined an-

other band, the most successful one, with which he toured throughout the U.S. and Mexico for four years. In 1999, the cancer returned. And “with all the pain in my soul, I had to leave the band.” For much of two years, he communicated only by writing, praying that God would let him keep his voice. Eventually, his throat healed. That twist in the road, however, brought him to Colorado and to the job he now holds and which, he says, he loves. Six years ago, working hard to improve his English, he became a U.S. citizen. Five years ago, he began to sing again. The first time he performed, he cried. “It was a very big emotion, very big, very big. … The people, they liked my work, accepted my style. … I was happy.” He calls himself “El Vale de Michoacán,” after the nickname his late father called him as a child — val-ay, buddy. Two to three times a year he heads to Mexico to perform. Life is good. He is content. But he harbors one more dream, to one day dedicate himself only to his music. Dreams are important, he says. “When you know you can be someone, but you don’t have the means, well, it is dreams that one uses to fight.” Like Ruben did. Un sueño, one dream, at a time.

Bombshell impacts GOP Senate field Gardner to run for Udall’s seat, others drop out of race By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A head-spinning development in Colorado politics from a game of musical chairs on Feb. 26 resulted in a consensus frontrunner emerging in the Republican field of U.S. Senate candidates. U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner dropped his reelection bid and now has his sights set on unseating Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. Gardner, who represents the state’s 4th Congressional District, takes the place of Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck in the Republican field. Buck — who lost a tight race to Sen. Michael Bennet in 2010 — dropped his Senate bid to run for Gardner’s House seat. “We need to replace Mark Udall in the Senate, and I believe Congressman Cory Gardner is in the strongest position to make that happen,” Buck said in a Feb. 26 news release. Gardner, who officially announced his candidacy at a press conference in Denver on March 1, was elected to the House in 2010 after defeating incumbent Rep. Betsy Markey. Before that, Gardner served in the state House. The Yuma resident is known as a rising star in the GOP and has been an outspoken critic of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. With Buck out and Gardner in, the Republicans stand a better shot at taking Udall’s seat, according to one longtime Colorado political scientist. “I would say Cory Gardner is the strongest (Republican) candidate in the race at the moment,” said Bob Loevy, a retired Colorado College political science professor. “Having a sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives in the race, that’s a big improvement for the Republicans.” Loevy, a Republican who is well-respected among politicos for his impartial analysis, said the party is better off not having Buck involved in another Senate race. Buck made national headlines in 2010 for comments he made about women, which cost him in his race against Bennet. “It’s a plus that Buck is out of the race,” Lovey said. “He already ran for the Sen-

Rep. Cory Gardner, who represents the 4th Congressional District, speaks to Cimarron Middle School sixth-graders in Parker about safe online practices during a Google-sponsored event Feb. 24. Gardner announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate later in the week. Courtesy photo ate and lost, so he already has a loser image which is hard to overcome in politics. I think he is much better off and has a much better chance of getting elected to House.” Buck already has company in the House race. State Sen. Scott Renfroe, of Greeley, announced his candidacy the day after the news broke. Other names have also emerged as potential candidates, including state lawmakers Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling and Tim Dore of Elizabeth. The 4th Congressional District includes many counties in the eastern plains region of Colorado, but also encompasses some territory close to the Denver metro area, including Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Elbert County. The fallout from the Gardner-Buck

Gardner’S Statement Congressman Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) officially announced

his bid for the U.S. Senate on March 1. The following excerpts are from a news release announcing his candidacy:

“Today, we begin a nine-month fight for the future of our

country. And don’t let anyone say otherwise — this fight is about the future, for our families, children and grandchildren. This past year the nation has watched Colorado push back against overreach and indecisive leadership. Today, we join the nation and bring Colorado into focus as we push back against Harry Reid and President Obama.

“The United States that we know is fading. Amidst big

government boondoggles and unaccountable bureaucracies, the people of this country find themselves working harder and harder each and every day only to see the promise of opportunity slip further and further from their reach.

“It doesn’t have to be this way. Today, while surrounded by a loving family and everyday Coloradans who know we can do better, I announced my intention to run for the United States Senate and to begin the hard work of rebuilding our great nation.”

moves was substantial in the Senate race. State Rep. Amy Stephens, R-Monument, announced through a news release the following day that she was dropping her Senate bid as well to back Gardner, whom she called “an outstanding public servant who will unite our party and communicate our conservative principles.” Stephens thanked her supporters and said she would continue doing her work as a state representative, but did not offer any reason behind her decision to drop out of the race. But it was clear that Stephens had a tough road, especially because of her sponsorship of last year’s legislation that set up Colorado’s health insurance exchanges, which came as a result of “Obamacare.” “I think she may have found that while many people may have admired her for `Amy Care,’ I think she may have discovered in a GOP primary that would be a tremendous burden,” Loevy said. Stephens was not at the Capitol the day of her announcement and she did not return a phone call seeking comment. While Stephens is now out of the race, state Sen. Owen Hill, R-Colorado Springs, vows to continue his candidacy in spite of a party establishment move that he thinks left Republican voters “hoodwinked.” “This has been in the works for a while,” Hill said of Gardner’s late entry into the field. “This has all been coordinated. This

is exactly what’s been losing it for Republicans in Colorado for a while — these insider, backroom deals that give people the sense that, `I’m sorry, you’re part of the party, but you have no say in who your candidates are going to be.’ “That makes it feel like it’s a coronation and not an election.” Lovey said he doesn’t know what was behind the Gardner-Buck switch, but he said that Hill may be on to something when he says that the party establishment played a big role. “I don’t know what the Republican establishment is doing, but I will say this is the kind of move that party big wigs try to engineer so that the party goes into the election in the strongest strategic position as possible,” he said. The field also includes state Sen. Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulfur Springs, and three others who do not hold public office: Mark Aspiri, Tom Janich, and Floyd Trujillo. Loevy said that Udall would be the favorite regardless of who emerges from the GOP field. The Udall name has been “a magical name for more than a generation in American politics.” But if Gardner becomes the Republican nominee, things could get interesting, he said. “I think it’s a tougher race,” he said. “Now I’d say we have a candidate who has a real chance at defeating Udall.”

Hickenlooper touts ‘rigorous’ new oil and gas rules Says air will be cleaner `than it was before fracking’ By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper was lauded by energy industry leaders and environmental groups on Feb. 25, two days after a state commission approved sweeping new air pollution rules that will regulate oil and gas activity in the state. The new rules will make Colorado the first state to impose regulations designed to detect and reduce climate-harming methane emissions. “They are the strongest rules on air pollution ever adopted in the U.S.,” said Fred Krupp, the national leader of the Environmental Defense Fund. “It is really a model for the nation.” The rules, approved by an 8-1 vote of the Colorado Air Quality Commission on Feb. 23, came as a result of Hickenlooper’s calls for tougher rules aimed at protecting Colorado’s air. “We (now) have the most rigorous air and water regulations around oil and gas in the country, without question,” the governor said at a Capitol press conference. “I think that goes a long way toward demonstrating to people that this trio of (environmental) nonprofits, the (oil and gas) industry, and the government, that if we work hard enough and are willing to make those compromises, we can make real progress.” Larry Wolk, director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said the adoption of the new regulations “truly are a significant achievement.” Wolk said the new rules will reduce more than 92,000 tons of organic compound emissions annually. The VOC emissions contribute to “ground-level” ozone depletion and smog, which can lead to health affects such as increased asthma attacks and respiratory conditions. The rules will also reduce 60,000 tons of methane emissions each year. The natural gas causes a greenhouse effect when it leaks into the atmosphere. In addition, the rules target hydrocarbon emissions that also have ozone and climate change impacts. The new rules are expected to take effect mid-April. However, Wolk said it will take several years to implement all the regulations. The key will be the installation of infrared cameras that will be used to detect air pollution at oil and gas sites, he said. The work in getting the regulations

John Hickenlooper touts new rules for oil and gas activities during a Feb. 25 Capitol press conference, as Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Director Larry Wolk (right) and Fred Krupp of the Environmental Defense Fund (center) listen. Photo by Vic Vela put in place made for strange bedfellows among environmental advocates and those in the energy industry. “What this is about is smart and costeffective regulations,” said Ted Brown of Noble Energy. “What this is about is making sure that oil and natural gas is developed in the safest way possible.” Not everyone is in love with the new rules. The Colorado Oil and Gas Association argued for softer regulations. However, COGA’s Tisha Schuler, who attended the press conference, said her group is ready to move on. “We did not get everything we wanted in this rule, but the rule passed so we’re focused on moving forward,” she said. “And we’re going to emphasize how can we im-

plement these rules cost effectively.” Hickenlooper also used the press conference to maintain his support of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Colorado. Fracking has received a great deal of attention of late, with five cities in the state having placed some form of ban or limitations on the practice — the state is currently suing the city of Longmont over its voterapproved fracking ban. Add to that, a potential November ballot initiative would ask Colorado voters to give municipalities the ability to decide for themselves what kinds of activities occur within city limits, including fracking. The governor, who is a geologist, acknowledged the “friction” surrounding the fracking issue while voicing support of the

practice. “There is a group that wants to ban all hydrocarbons; they want to ban fracking,” he said. “I think what we demonstrated (through the new rules) is that we’re going to make the air cleaner than it was before fracking.” Hickenlooper talked about the oftencontentious split estate issues, where dual property ownership can lead to “character of neighborhood versus the value of retirement” battles over residents’ and mineral rights. “These are closely held values that are hard to negotiate,” he said. “But in the end, when they’re in conflict, we’ve got to figure out how to negotiate and how to find a compromise.”

A bill that would make cyberbullying a crime passed a House committee with unanimous support on Feb. 25. House Bill 1131 would make it a misdemeanor when “a child or a teenager is harassed, humiliated, embarrassed, threatened or tormented using digital technology,” according to Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, the bill’s sponsor. The legislation comes as a result of increased cases where youths are bullied through social media outlets and text messaging. The bill passed the House Education committee following a 12-0 vote. The legislation heads to another committee before it gets a vote on the House floor.

A Republican bill that would have put tighter restrictions on the governor’s ability to provide reprieves for death row inmates failed in a House committee on Feb. 24. Through House Bill 1197, Rep. Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, sought to limit governors to just 90 days to seek a death penalty reprieve, and only for the purposes of “administrative difficulties in carrying out the execution,” the bill’s fiscal note states. The bill was a response to Gov. John Hickenlooper’s decision to grant a reprieve to convicted murderer Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1993. The bill died in the Democrat majority House State, Veterans and Military Affairs

Committee following a 6-3 vote.

Gay tax bill signed into law

Gov. John Hickenlooper on Feb. 27 signed a bill into law that gives gay married couples living in Colorado the ability to file joint state tax returns. Senate Bill 19 requires that gay couples who married out of state or in another country, and who now reside here, file their state taxes the same as they do at the federal level, either through joint or individual returns. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, follows last year’s Internal Revenue Service ruling, which determined that legally married same-sex couples are also considered married for federal tax purposes.

Handgun permit renewals to ease

A bill that would expand concealed handgun permit renewals passed a Senate committee on Feb. 26. Current law requires permit holders to renew their permits with the county sheriff who issued them. House Bill 1166 would allow non-temporary permits to be renewed in the counties where they reside. The bill also applies to counties where a permit holder maintains a second home or owns or leases a business property. The bill passed the Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee and now heads to the Senate for a full vote. The legislation had previously passed the House.

Bill aims to help ‘turnaround’ schools Replaces unfunded School Academy Leadership Program By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com State Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, is hoping to lend a hand in turning around struggling schools, through a bill that is making its way through the Legislature. “We see this as an important issue that needs to be addressed right away,” Zenzinger said. “All of these schools and districts are on the clock.” Schools are designated turnaround status for factors that include standardized testing scores and graduation rates that are not up to par. The schools are then given five years to greatly improve their performance or else face state intervention, which could lead to schools having to shut their doors. Senate Bill 124 would set up a grant pro-

gram that would assist in leadership training for school administrators and teachers at schools that are on turnaround status, in hopes of getting them on the right track. Zenzinger said in a recent meeting with reporters that 16 school districts are on turnaround status, which impacts about 100,000 students across the state. “It’s a very disruptive process to communities and it’s very important to do whatever we can before they hit the clock,” she said. The bill sets up the “School Turnaround Leaders Development Program,” which will contract with experts who would award grants that provide training to underperforming schools and school districts. The new program replaces the current School Leadership Academy Program. The Legislature created the existing program in 2008 and it was meant to provide professional development training to public school principals.

However, the board that was put in place to oversee the SLA program hasn’t met in three years, nor has the program been funded. The new program would operate through the Colorado Department of Education, with the Legislature appropriating grant funding on an annual basis. The Legislative Council estimates the state expenditures for the program to be $2 million for each of the next two fiscal years. The bill does not require turnaround schools to seek assistance through the program, only those that see the program as a good fit. Recognizing that each turnaround school deals with its own set of issues, Zenzinger said that part of the grant funding allows for customized training. “A school that is in turnaround in rural Colorado is facing very different issues than a school in Aurora, for example,” she said. The bill is receiving support from sev-

eral stakeholders in the education community, including the Colorado Education Association and the League of Charter Schools. However, not everyone is on board with the bill, as evidenced by a Feb. 27 partyline vote in the Democrat majority Senate Education Committee. Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker, is concerned that the bill would wrestle away local control from school boards that already have these kinds of programs available. “I think we need to be judicious about not interfering with those relationships,” he said. Sen Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley, said the bill is “frustrating” because of the new bureaucracy it puts in place. “Where does the buck stop?” he said. “Who is going to be in charge of this program? Where’s the accountability?” The bill now heads to a separate committee before it receives a vote by the full Senate.

Cigarette sales could be outlawed for those under 21 Some lawmakers call bill a `nanny state’ measure By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cigarette sales to persons under 21 would be illegal under a bipartisan bill that is making its way through the Legislature. But whether the measure becomes law is another story as the effort is certain to receive push back from members of the bill sponsor’s own party who say the prohibition is an example of “nanny state” government. State Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, calls her effort to make it more difficult for kids to smoke “a battle worth having.” Right now, persons who are at least 18 can purchase and possess cigarettes. That

would change under Gerou’s bill. The bill provides a grandfather clause for those who are 18 when the law would go into effect on July 1. “We’re not going to change the habits of people 18, that’s why we put in the grandfather clause,” Gerou said. “The point of the bill is to take it out of high schools.” Gerou said that 90 percent of people who smoke into adulthood pick up the habit when they are young teenagers. Gerou’s bill aims to put a dent in the number of youths who begin smoking at young ages. “Granted, they’re still going to find out a way to get (cigarettes), but if we can diminish that, that’s the point of the bill,” she said. Gerou said the bill could be amended to allow persons under 21 to smoke if they have a military I.D.

A Senate Republican, Steve King of Grand Junction, and two Democrats have joined as co-sponsors of the bill, which recently passed the Democrat majority House Health, Insurance and Environment Committee following a party-line vote. The bill has to pass through a couple more committees before it reaches the House floor. But some Republicans see the bill as government overreach. “It just seems to me that we’re trying to prohibit each and every thing that has been the norm in society for some time,” said Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs. “It’s the equivalent to prohibition to me.” Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, echoed Gardner’s sentiments. “I think it is increasing troubling that we are limiting choice for law-abiding citizens,” he said. “Does that mean I lack

compassion for kids who get cancer? No, but its not the proper role of government to make those decisions for people, especially adults.” The bill faces a tough road, if a recent House vote on a separate “nanny state” effort provides any indication. The House recently passed a bill that would ban youths under 18 from using tanning beds. All GOP members, including Gerou, joined four Democrats in voting against the bill. The bill will face a tough road in the Senate. Gerou said she is “fully expecting” arguments against her bill that were similar to those made against the tanning bill. “I’m expecting to be beaten up about it,” Gerou said. “I always survive. I don’t know if the bill will, but it’s a battle worth having.”

Four Democrats join GOP in casting no votes By Vic Vela

vela@coloradocommunitymedia. com Legislation that would prohibit minors from using tanning beds passed the House on Feb. 27. But the bill is hardly guaranteed to pass the Senate, as four House Democrats joined all Republicans in voting against the bill. The bill passed following a 33-31 vote. Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster, said her bill “literally saves lives” and cited rising melanoma rates among children as motivation behind the effort. But Republicans said the bill was akin to a “nanny state” government that takes away decision making from parents. Peniston has tried unsuccessfully in previous legislative sessions to get a youth tanning ban passed at the Capitol. This year’s effort is the toughest bill yet because it calls for a complete artificial tanning de-

vice prohibition for youths under 18, without exception. A provision that would have allowed for kids to tan with permission from a doctor has been stripped from the bill. Business owners would face fines of up to $2,000 if they allow persons under 18 to use their tanning devices. More than 30 states have some sort of limitations on youth tanning in place. Colorado currently has no youth tanning restrictions. “Can we please save lives of our young adults who don’t have the knowledge to decide if this is a good idea?” Peniston said during a House floor debate that preceded the bill’s passage. Republicans called Peniston’s bill an example of government overreach. Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, said there are other kinds of hazards that pose threats to children, but the state doesn’t ban them all. “It just seems to me that, while this is well-intentioned, it is an overreach for what is an incremental risk each and every time,” Gardner said, using the words “nanny state” as he

spoke against the bill. Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, slammed it as being an intrusive effort of a heavy-handed government. Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen, meanwhile, tried to amend the bill to allow children who are 16 and 17 to use tanning beds, so long as they get permission from their parents. “There’s going to a backlash of parents,” Gerou said. “The backlash is going to be, `I’m a parent. I love my child. I think I know what’s best for my child.” Gerou — who is sponsoring her own bill that would prohibit the sale of cigarettes to persons under 21 — urged for support of her amendment, but the effort failed. “Like we do with cigarettes, with marijuana, we recognize that these things are not good for young people,” Peniston said. House Speaker Mark Ferrandino of Denver and Reps. Jovan Melton of Aurora, Ed Vigil of Fort Garland and Jonathan Singer of Longmont were the four Democrats who voted against the bill. Singer called the bill “unenforceable.” The bill now heads to the Senate.

Sheriff’s candidate fined for fundraising report Tony Spurlock says `clerical errors’ behind mistakes By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock, one of four candidates for sheriff, was fined last month by an administrative law judge for violating the Fair Campaign Practices Act. He has since settled up. Judge Robert N. Spencer, of the Colorado Office of Administrative Courts in Denver, ruled Feb. 11 that Spurlock “failed to report all required information for several contributions of $100 or more and failed to report all required information for several expenditures in violation of the FCPA.” “No one was hurt (and) it wasn’t that we were trying to trick anyone,” Spurlock said, adding that he wasn’t trying to hide information. It was simply “clerical errors” that resulted in inaccurate and incomplete information in his contributions and expenditures report filed on Nov. 1, 2013. Matt Arnold of Campaign Integrity

Watchdog first discovered the problems, after which he filed a complaint with the Secretary of State’s office in January. Spencer agreed that there was missing information and ordered Spurlock to file an amended report, which according to Spurlock, he did on Feb. 25. Spurlock was fined by Spencer $4,050, but only required to pay $1,000 as he paid up within 30 days. The Republican undersheriff said that despite the fact he has already paid, he is considering appealing the fine. Spurlock got in trouble Spurlock because, in the contributions portion of the report, two donors had occupations listed as “unknown,” including one who works for the sheriff’s office. Spurlock said he was not trying to hide where the donors worked and that he has other contributors who work for the sheriff’s office and that he correctly listed their occupations. Additionally, the occupations of several retired contributors were also listed as “unknown” when they should have been described as “retired.”

Spurlock said the person responsible for creating the report didn’t know the contributors, but when he, who does know the donors, looked over the report he didn’t look at it “line by line.” He said that he would in the future, however. In the expenditures section of the report, payees of three expenditures totaling $252 were also listed as “unknown.” The type of expense was listed as “miscellaneous” for one of the expenditures and “office supplies” for the other two. The candidate said all three were actually expenses for Douglas County Republican groups and events and should have been described as such. He also said some of the problems with the expenditures report were caused because PayPal doesn’t provide sufficient payee information. Douglas County Coroner Lora Thomas, also a Republican candidate for sheriff, said she took three classes to learn how to do the requisite report, and reviewed it with an assistant before filing it. Thomas said the Secretary of State’s Office “was very helpful,” in helping her learn how to do the report and that hers is “perfect.” “It’s not as difficult as handling a $48 million budget,” she said, referring to the

sheriff’s office’s budget, which the successful candidate will have to manage. Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson, the third Republican candidate, said his report is also complete, without any problems. He said anyone could make a mistake but that for sensitive materials like this, one should take additional precautions. “I feel bad for him. I really do,” Anderson said. “I don’t like to see someone get hurt or embarrassed.” In addition to the aforementioned problems, Spurlock was also supposed to attend a Feb. 7 hearing on Arnold’s complaint. The undersheriff said he didn’t show up because he hadn’t been informed it was taking place. He said he didn’t show because the notice about the hearing, mailed by the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, didn’t reach him and was returned to sender. That, he said, is because his campaign headquarters’ suite number wasn’t listed on the documents he filed with the state. Highlands Ranch Libertarian Brock McCoy Sr. became the fourth candidate to file for the office when he submitted his paperwork Feb. 25.

Fourth candidate joins sheriff’s race McCoy, a former captain with the department, running as Libertarian By Virginia Grantier

vgrantier@coloradocommunitymedia. com Brock McCoy, who retired from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office after more than 25 years of service, is now the fourth candidate in the sheriff’s race. McCoy, running as a Libertarian, filed his candidate affidavit Feb. 25 with the Secretary of State’s office. McCoy said as sheriff he would have better control on the budget, “not spend money recklessly on just anything.” He said he’d better manage personnel and assignments. And a bigger focus on community policing is important to him. McCoy said he used to park his squad car and walk blocks to get to know people outside, out working on their yards, in Highlands Ranch and other areas. “You get lot of mileage out of things like

that,” he said. McCoy said he is running as a Libertarian in part because he doesn’t want to be involved in the dirty-laundry kind of politics happening in the race among the other three candidates, all Republicans: John Anderson, a Castle Rock police commander; Tony Spurlock, Douglas County undersheriff; and Lora Thomas, Douglas County coroner. The candidates are vying to replace term-limited Dave Weaver. McCoy thinks he’s the best candidate because he has spent years working the streets, has been in management, understands people and the needs of the citizens. And he said he’s running for the right reasons, to help the community, that it’s not a “self-serving” effort. McCoy, who has lived in Highlands Ranch for 22 years, said he retired from the sheriff’s office because it wasn’t fun anymore. He said he was a captain with the department until Weaver came into office.

opinions / yours and ours

Senate-race shockwaves come with territory When U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner changed course last week from re-election mode to pursuit of the Senate, it was a reminder of just how critical Colorado is in the national political landscape. Gardner was well on his way to being voted back to Washington in the 4th Congressional District, a Republican stronghold made up of farming-based eastern plains counties and conservative Denver suburbs. The congressman’s decision was a personal gamble — if he loses, he’s out of a job — but not so much for the GOP, which seeks to regain control of the upper house. For the Republicans, it was simply putting their best foot forward. The 39-yearold Gardner, labeled a “rising star” in the party in virtually every media report, gives the GOP a chance against Democratic incumbent Mark Udall. That’s something that couldn’t be said with any confidence

our view about the previous field of candidates, which included Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck. Meanwhile, Buck has shifted his sights to Gardner’s House seat, which, unless a high-profile Republican primary challenger emerges, he should be able to garner. The maneuvering strikes us as shrewd, but with Colorado’s primary elections still nearly four months away and the general election eight months off, it’s enough to give some the purple-state blues. Indeed, until the first Tuesday in November, it’s going to be all politics, all the time in this battleground state. If you’re

letters to the editor Let’s not forget the First Amendment

It is appalling to hear of recent behavior by opponents of a local petition effort (“Open-carry supporters, opponents sent away,” Feb. 27). Those who support the recent repeal of Castle Rock’s ban on opencarry of weapons on public property have every right to express their disagreement with those who seek a referendum on this repeal, but they do not have the right to harass or intimidate Castle Rock residents who would sign anti-repeal petitions. In their zeal to assert their Second Amendment rights, some supporters of the open-carry ban repeal appear to have forgotten that the Bill of Rights protects rights other than the right “to keep and bear arms.” Those individuals who harassed would-be petition signers and proudly asserted in a Facebook posting that “We chased them out of the post office” were trampling on the First Amendment. Yes, opponents of the petition effort had their own First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and express their views. But I can think of nothing more un-American than preventing other Americans from exercising their constitutional rights to free speech, assembly, and petitioning the government.

There is help available

Four suicides in 11 days is a truly horrifying statistic.

Coroner Lora Thomas reports that although there is no connection between the cases, in her experience there is almost always an underlying mental illness. Suicide and mental illness are not subjects that are comfortable for people to discuss. Parents of children with mental illness live with chaos, fear and feelings of isolation as they attempt to maneuver the fragmented mental health care system in search for help. EMPOWER Colorado is a group, founded in 2000, that hosts two monthly parent support meetings in the south metro area, meeting on the first and third Thursday of every month, from 6-8p.m. at Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health, 155 Inverness Drive West. We collaborate with other organizations, such as NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Arapahoe/Douglas, NAMI Colorado, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network, and the Colorado Department of Education. We don’t know that we can prevent suicides, but the more information families have, the more we can help educate them and offer other resources. We can offer them hope; something many families don’t have. Knowing that there are other families who are struggling with the same issues is very empowering.

I understood this pretension at a very young age, so once a year, I signed the blank pages in the front of my dictionary. If I had amounted to anything big as an artist, those pages would be worth some good money now. The signatures perceptively changed little by little every year. The signatures I use now have been in use for about 35 years. I have two signatures, no, three. When I sign one of those credit card screens, I just draw a horizontal line. I have seen people try to spell out their name diligently, as if the screen can tell if you are a forger. I sign “cm smith” on checks, letters, and forms. I sign “cms” on all of my artwork. I took a calligraphy workshop at the Denver Art Museum. A very petite Asian woman was the instructor. The class was full, and I had a good time because I appreciate calligraphy. I try to include flowing line work in all of my paintings, and that includes my signature. I watch “Pawn Stars.” Periodically someone comes in with a celebrity’s autograph. One guy had Chuck Berry’s signature on a cheap guitar and wanted thousands of dollars. If I inherited autographs, fine. Otherwise I would never ask for anyone’s autograph, or be an autograph collector. I have said so before. I just don’t get it. Why would I want the autograph of someone who doesn’t even know me?

squeamish, you might want to look away as: • Republican Congressman Mike Coffman wages a fight for his political life against Democrat Andrew Romanoff, Colorado’s former speaker of the House. The race is for the 6th Congressional District seat, a post that represents residents of Aurora, Centennial, Highlands Ranch and Littleton, among other areas. Like the Senate battle, it is one that looms large on both major parties’ national radar, and campaigning is already at a fever pitch. • Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper works to fend off a Republican challenger chosen from among a slew of contenders. The field already includes former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo and Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler. It may soon include former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who, as of this writing, hadn’t announced a run

but reportedly was very close to doing so. His entry would certainly enliven the race and perhaps give the GOP a better shot at unseating Hickenlooper, which if achieved, would be a coup celebrated by Republicans across the country. • Republican lawmakers, fueled by the frustration of taking a pounding in consecutive sessions, pull no punches in their attempt to take back the state Legislature. Many issues will be discussed, but make no mistake, the centerpiece is the Second Amendment. The GOP will try to turn gun control legislation passed by the state’s Democratic lawmakers in 2013 against them, and national party leaders on both sides will be watching. This could get nasty. There’s an old phrase, one we embrace, that says, “All politics is local.” To that, given the current political climate, we add, “…unless you’re in Colorado.”

Losing the little things, finding the big things W It seems as over the past 12 months I have lost or misplaced a half-dozen cellphone chargers. Whether it is the wall charger or the car charger, they just seem to disappear from the wall, my car, my backpack, or my mind. Regardless of where they went, the result is that I find myself right back in the store purchasing another one. Maybe it’s just my memory getting slower and I just can’t remember where I placed them. Perhaps I have left my energy source in any number of power outlets in hotels or airports along the way. All I do know is that they were considered lost and then out of necessity, replaced. Well wouldn’t you know it? At least half of them were found in a recent reorganization of my home and office. So for now I am flush with chargers and ready for technological mobility once again. And there was much rejoicing. Now phone chargers and other small miscellaneous items that get lost are one thing, and if not found they can usually be replaced. We may experience some minor heartburn and headaches, however we usually get past those in a very brief period of time. It becomes a little harder when we think about other things we have lost along the way like relationships, friendships, faith, hope and love. If we only put as much time and effort into finding those lost relationships, mending friendship fences, and restoring hope and faith as we did in finding our cellphone chargers and other small and less meaningful items, I truly believe there

These relationships were not necessarily lost, I would say more misplaced for a period of time.

Delighted as students, staff and MakeA-Wish representatives were by the new record, the ceremony grew somber as they listened to a letter from the parents of the late Taylor Easterberg. The 2010 RCHS Make-A-Wish recipient died in March 2013 at the age of 11. Taylor realized his wish of visiting Australia before his death, a trip his parents said was “the break we all so desperately needed” and a gift that was “beyond amazing.” Student council advisor Kate Hartline urged students to carry the spirit of the week forward, and strive to be “kinder than necessary.” Make-A-Wish Colorado CEO Joan Mazak

the town voted down OK’ing medical marijuana dispensaries several years ago. If approved, there would be no more than three retail shops allowed, according to the proposed ordinance’s list of proposed regulations. It states there will be “no more than one retail marijuana store licensed per 100 Larkspur residents and no more than three regardless of population.” McVaney said real estate is limited in the tiny town and there probably wouldn’t be room for more. Limiting space further, the proposed regulations require retail marijuana stores to be within Larkspur’s commercially zoned areas. Also, the stores couldn’t be “within 500 feet of a licensed child-care facility or 1,000 feet of any educational institution or school, college or university, either public or private.” McVaney, of McVaney & Associates, which is involved in increasing the indus-

preparation for the cruciﬁxion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The season begins on Ash Wednesday, the day many are marked with black ashes on their foreheads. In the following three paragraphs, author Mark Hart on his LifeTeen.com blog gives a Biblical and traditional explanation for the ashes of Ash Wednesday: “Over forty passages in the Bible associate ashes with mourning and grief. In Old Testament times people used ashes as a sign of repentance. They would sit in ashes, roll around in them, sprinkle them upon their heads, or even mingle them with their food and drink. They did this as an outward sign of their inward posture of had high praise for RCHS. “This school, and the attitude of the kids, just gets more awesome every year,” she said. “I think it’s started a competition among the schools.” The week of fundraising included head shaving, sporting events, dinners at restaurants that donated to the cause and a Miracle Minute during which students raised just shy of $13,000 during 60 seconds of dumping change into buckets. In its ﬁrst year of fundraising in 2010, Rock Canyon raised $15,300 — an amount more than twice its initial goal. Make-AWish said then that the school had set a new record. It has easily eclipsed that record every year since. In four years, RCHS has raised more than $161,000 and granted 21 wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. “More than the money, what amazes me is how our kids come together for a common cause,” RCHS principal Andy Abner said. “There’s no freshman, there’s no senior – that’s the greatest.”

repentance. Check out Daniel 9:3-6, for an example. “Ash Wednesday begins Lent, a time when we stop and assess how we’re doing in our walk with God. Lent helps us identify spiritual areas in which we can grow and sinful areas that we need to avoid. To repent, put simply, means to turn away from sin and turn toward God. We use ashes as an outward expression of our need to begin again. “Ashes are a sign of physical death, as in `ashes to ashes, dust to dust.’ We began as dust (a joyless and lifeless existence), and our bodies will return to dust until we are raised up by Christ. By receiving ashes and keeping them on, we publicly proclaim our intent to die to our worldly desires and live even more in Christ’s image, which we focus on during the season of `rebirth’ that is Lent (a Latin term for `Spring’).” It is hard to deny the consequences of Adam’s and Eve’s fall from grace but many still don’t like to admit we have a condition that needs to change or the possibility of sin that requires forgiveness and repentance. As I see it, while I don’t like to fall and am embarrassed and pained by physical

What are the world’s most valuable autographs? If you have Neil Armstrong’s you have a very good investment. Babe Ruth’s went for $150,000 in 2005.

Shakespeare’s signature is the most valuable one in the world. “Shoeless” Joe Jackson’s signature is

and spiritual falls, admitting I am down gives me the opportunity to get up. There is a healthier assessment of my need with a remedy to my condition. The need for forgiveness is as great as the need for love in each of us, but while it is easy to say, “nobody is perfect” it is hard to admit that I have done wrong and need to experience forgiveness. Those who wear ashes, and many who don’t, have confessed their need for forgiveness and recognize the fallen condition of our world, seek the work of a Savior and desire to change their patterns of behavior. It is painful to fall but it is not necessary to stay down if there is help to get up. The season of Lent, leading to Good Friday and Easter six weeks away, begins with an observance that seems odd to some, the wearing of black ashes on the forehead, but for many it is the ﬁrst step to getting up by recognizing we have fallen.

highly prized as well, partly because he couldn’t write. It always amuses me when I see a celebrity or an athlete sign something. It is often done without looking. I think Stephen Wright signs his name with invisible ink. You can make invisible ink right at home. Squeeze a lemon into a bowl and add a few drops of water. Write something on a piece of white paper with a cotton swab that was dipped into the lemon juice. Let it dry. When the piece of paper is held up to a light, you will be able to read the message.

McVaney said his excise-tax reimbursement numbers for residents are based in part on Interstate 25 traffic numbers. He said about 70,000 vehicles daily pass near Larkspur. He said he expects at least 1 percent of I-25’s traffic, 700 vehicles, would get off at Larkspur, each spending about $100 per marijuana transaction. But he said that when the shops first open, he expects business to be much higher than that, especially since there is a lack of shops currently from El Paso County to south Denver. McVaney couldn’t be reached later for a follow-up interview to ask if he is interested in opening a shop. If Larkspur voters OK this, it will be the only place in Douglas County that allows commercial marijuana businesses. After Amendment 64 passed in 2012 legalizing marijuana consumption, other local Douglas County governments, one after another, banned commercial operations.

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Criticism of the school board was the theme at the Douglas County School District’s “Board Unplugged” meeting March 3. The evening focused on CFO Bonnie Betz’s presentation about a funding measure the district is seeking. Small-group discussions followed, and group after group then chose representatives who said they didn’t trust the school board and would never vote for more funding until the board regained their trust. While the agenda included a second topic for discussion, it never was entertained. The first-of-its-kind meeting — billed as a way to start bringing people in the divided school community together — instead ended. “That was great feedback,” Board President Kevin Larsen said to the approximately 60 people in attendance. “Rather than get feedback on another issue, we can do that at another meeting.” The November 2014 or 2015 voter proposal Betz outlined calls for issuing certificates of participation that would help address the $265 million in capital needs anticipated over the next five years. While Betz called the idea a “win-win” that would keep tax rates level, audience members repeatedly said it won’t get their vote. “I’m that parent and most of us are that would (in the past) have voted and have voted `yes’ for the bond every year of our lives,” Laura Alfano said, but noted money spent to bring in a pro-district speaker before the November board elections, update the website and other financial decisions raised concerns. “If we need new phones and the roofs are falling down, why do we need a PR firm? Please help us trust you and we will help you build and fix everything.” “Teacher trust is huge; I feel we have no trust right now,” teacher Kevin DiPasquale said. “We have a presentation, a dog-andpony show telling us about the needs of our district. How about a parent survey? A teacher survey?” Julie Keim, a former board candidate who filed a lawsuit against the district for violations of the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act, noted the district found a way to fund its widely criticized pay-for-performance program despite voter denial of a 2011 ballot measure to finance it. “The district took our money … and did it anyway,” she said. “Unless we feel we can trust this school board and they honor our true needs, we will as a public be unwilling to support a bond. You need to as a school board address our issues before we address yours.” Shaylee Holland, a board member with American Academy charter school and can-

DCSD Chief Financial Officer Bonnie Betz explains a funding proposal that the district hopes to put to voters during the March 3 Board Unplugged meeting at Parker’s Cimarron Middle School. didate for the open board seat vacated by Justin Williams, said she feels there is some misunderstanding about the board’s reform effort and school financing. “I do want to share how the reform effort has saved everybody money and put money back in the classrooms,” she said. “We have 1,600 students in our two buildings that the district doesn’t have to pay for. If those two schools were shut down, that’d be 1,600 extra students vying for the finite dollars. People just need to educate themselves.” Several also criticized a briefly discussed plan to build a K-8 special education facility similar to Plum Creek Academy, which serves middle- and high-school-aged special needs students. Goals of the new facility would include quickly mainstreaming those students back into the general DCSD school population, school leaders said. But several audience members said building the new school would constitute segregation. Larsen said after the meeting the board will continue to work on the format for the Board Unplugged events. “We’re seeking and trying different formats right now we think will lead to productive exchange of information,” he said. “Last night was one element of trying something. We may find different ways to do the April and May meetings.” Larsen said he heard “loud and clear” the comments from audience members about trust and other issues, but said he wants to be sure the district is hearing from a broad cross-section of the community. “I don’t think the message we got last night was necessarily (from) a cross section of our entire population,” he said. The next Board Unplugged meeting is planned for April 1. Location and time have not been announced.

Panel to focus on school security Sandy Hook parents, security experts featured during the March 13 event in Parker By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com A 7-year-old Parker boy was the first student on whom Sandy Hook Elementary shooter Adam Lanza pointed his gun at Dec. 14, 2012. Lanza did not pull the trigger, instead turning to shoot the boy’s teacher, Victoria Soto the child’s best friend and several others. When Lanza paused to re-load his gun, the boy ran. Eight other students followed him out of the classroom and to safety. The next day, acting on already-made plans prompted by Dave Posey’s Denver job relocation, the now 8-year-old Frontier Valley Elementary School student and his family moved to Parker. In Douglas County, they feel safe. And

that’s a message the boy’s parents — who asked their son’s name be kept confidential — want to share with others in the community. “I can honestly say I’m not scared for my kids at school here,” said Dave Posey, who also has children in Cimarron Middle School. “We’ve traveled all over the country, and visited all kinds of school districts. It is by far the safest, most forward-thinking and most responsive to security issues of any in the country I’ve talked to.” Dave and Carly Posey will join several others in a Douglas County School District security panel event set for 6:30 p.m. March 13 at Parker’s Cimarron Middle School, 12130 Canterberry Parkway. The event is free and open to the public. The Poseys have joined some Columbine High School parents to create the Sandy Hook Columbine Cooperative, designed to help communities prepare, respond, and recover from a traumatic event. Other panelists include John Michael Keyes, Founder of i love u guys Founda-

tion, whose daughter Emily was fatally shot at Platte Canyon High School in September 2006. The foundation is credited as the driving force behind the standard response protocols now used by school districts nationwide. Also on hand will be SAFE2TELL creator Susan Payne, a former hostage negotiator and crime prevention officer whose anonymous hotline allows anyone to report threatening behavior. Douglas County school marshal Tyler Herman will discuss the school’s marshal program which started in fall 2013 and sends armed, local law enforcement officers to visit elementary and middle schools twice daily. Unique though it is, Posey said it’s one of many effective security measures that combine to create safe schools. “The marshal program has made the biggest impact and definitely is the only one of its kind in the country, but that’s just one of the many layers,” he said. What’s still lacking, Posey said, is parent

involvement. “All our kids had gone through Sandy Hook,” he said. “As many times as we walked through those doors, we never once thought about a lack of security; it never crossed our minds. “Parents are not as involved as they should be in their own schools. Now we know there’s a lot more to it. You’ve got to be vigilant.” Safe as they believe their children now are, the Posey’s children all still suffer lingering trauma — effects they hope to help others deal with or avoid altogether. Despite ongoing therapy, their 8-yearold often panics in enclosed spaces, recently leaving a Legend High School basketball game early after the noise and a sense of confinement that grew overwhelming. “It doesn’t mean much to him he was the hero,” Dave Posey said of his son. “For him it’s, `I still had my best friend die, and my teacher and everybody else. I still had to see all of this.’”

Sky Ridge debuts wound care center Treatments include hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sky Ridge Medical Center’s newest addition will help speed up recovery for people suffering from painful, otherwise slow-to-heal wounds. The Lone Tree hospital opened its Advanced Wound Care Center Feb. 19, which includes a suite with two hyperbaric oxygen chambers. The chambers are a new addition to Sky Ridge. Blanketed patients lie in the clear, cylindrical chamber for 1.5 to 2 hours per treatment, breathing 100 percent oxygen in a pressurized space. The combination enriches the blood’s oxygen concentration 10 to 15 times its normal level, stimulating the growth of new blood cells. The “high-oxygen environment really speeds the healing process,” said Adam George, director of wound care services at Sky Ridge. Depending on the reason for treatment, patients will undergo 20 to 60 daily visits as part of an overall treatment plan. “This is added therapy to help the patient in their healing process,” said technician Phil Treadway, who oversees the sessions. Wounds also are cleaned and debrided — a process of removing dead tissue from a wound — to further accelerate healing. The suite is equipped with a television for each chamber, so patients can watch TV or movies, or sleep during the procedures. They also can speak with the technician from inside the chamber. Between the two chambers, which cost about $150,000 each, Sky Ridge can treat about eight patients daily. Growing community need for the therapy prompted the expansion of the wound care center, Sky Ridge officials said. Englewood’s Swedish Medical Center, Medical Center of Aurora, Denver’s Presbyterian St. Luke’s and Parker Adventist Hospital all offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy as well. Initially used to treat divers suffering from decompression sickness, technicians of hyperbaric oxygen therapy noticed those divers who also had cuts healed more rapidly than those who hadn’t undergone the therapy. Hospitals now use the therapy to treat problematic wounds, counteracting the effects of radiation, skin grafts and diabetic ulcers. Skin disorders stemming from poor circulation, common among the elderly, also are prime candidates for the treatment. Some sports teams use the chambers to hasten an injured player’s return to the game. Most famously, late pop music star Michael Jackson slept in a hyperbaric chamber, reportedly because he thought it would slow aging and sharpen his cognitive ability.

Candidate Continued from Page 7

He said Weaver — who railed in his campaign about the department being top-heavy — came in and demoted three captains to lieutenant including McCoy and reduced their pay. But McCoy said eight months later Weaver promoted three lieutenants to captain, “his (Weaver’s) guys,” not McCoy or the other two who had been demoted. When asked if Weaver

wanted to respond to what McCoy related, Sgt. Ron Hanavan, sheriff’s office spokesman, issued an email statement that read: “Brock McCoy was employed at the Douglas County Sheriff’s office from 1982 to 2009. The highest rank Brock McCoy achieved was Captain and upon his departure in 2009, he was at the rank of Lieutenant. Because this is a personnel matter we are not at liberty to speak about any specifics. … No further statement will be made.”

Bystanders save man’s life Art Cales suffered near-fatal heart attack at Lifetime Fitness By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Art Cales is one of the lucky few. It took a series of fortunate circumstances to revive the 51-year-old when he had a sudden heart attack at Lifetime Fitness near E-470 and South Parker Road in January. “They basically brought me back to life,” Cales said. “I was dead.” “They” refers to the handful of people who rushed to his aid, including personal trainer Kate Jureller, 27, of Denver. It was around 6 a.m. when she was teaching a team weight-loss class and heard people yelling for help. An alert came over the intercom, and Jureller says she was the one who happened to grab the automated external defibrillator off the wall. She and Kate Tillman, a physical therapist at Parker Adventist Hospital, performed CPR after finding that Cales was not breathing. His complexion was ashen and his lips were cold, said Jureller, who placed the AED pads on Cales’s chest. After detecting an abnormal heart rhythm, the machine administered two shocks, bringing Cales back after three minutes. Ten minutes earlier, he was in a room by himself, beginning a first set of exercises designed to help him recover from rotator cuff surgery. He began to feel lightheaded, and, from a standing position, hit the floor with a solid impact. It got the attention of

‘They basically brought me back to life. I was dead.’ Art Cales a nearby Lifetime Fitness patron, Mike Staheli, who alerted everyone to the trouble. “The next thing I know, I’m looking up at people,” Cales said. “They were asking me my name, but that was all I could remember.” It turned out that every single one of his arteries was at least 50 percent blocked, some completely so. Blood had stopped flowing through his body. He went into surgery to remove the clots and is recovering well, although he reinjured his shoulder during the fall. Sudden cardiac arrest struck nearly 360,000 people nationwide in 2013. For each minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of survival is reduced approximately 10 percent, according to the American Red Cross. The CPR administered prior to the shocks was also important. South Metro Safety Foundation Executive Director Cheryl Poage, who has helped get AEDs installed in local high schools and public buildings, says the lifesaving machines are proving their worth. In fact, a teacher in the Cherry Creek School District was saved Feb. 4 when a defibrillator the

Parker resident Art Cales embraces Kate Tillman, who performed CPR on Cales after he suffered a major heart attack at Lifetime Fitness in January. The survivor thanked those who rushed to his aid during a Feb. 28 reunion. Photo by Julie Miller foundation funded was used. Cales, a Parker resident since 1996, works out regularly and said there were no warning signs of a heart attack, but he says his “family is the history of heart disease.” Jureller learned from one of the responding paramedics that Cales arrived at the hospital and had been stabilized, news that brought her great relief. Cales is so grateful for his second chance that he is assembling the team that helped save him at Lifetime Fitness within the next week to thank them in person. Jureller, a CPR-certified former lifeguard, says it was “surreal” speaking to him on the phone. “I heard that his wife said `thank you,’

that I had saved a husband and a father,” she said. “That really hit home. I realized it was more than his life that I impacted.” Jureller, whose mother is an emergency room nurse, said it was a team effort that saved Cales. She said “everything might not have turned out as well as it did” if not for the actions of many and early intervention. She is eager to meet Cales, but doesn’t need thanks. She said knowing he is okay is enough of a reward. As for Cales, he is “reconnecting with God” and enjoying each moment he has with his family. “Every day is a new adventure for me now,” he said.

Middle school club named Best in Region By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Members of Ranch View Middle School’s CODE Club plan to turn lemons into lemonade, and move ahead with development of an app that fell just short of a national award. The Student ToolKit, an organizer with a calendar, planner, school directory and other functions developed by the computer coding club, should be available to all RVMS students by the 2014-15 academic year. The program was named Best in Region in the 2014 Verizon Innovative App Challenge — one of three middle schools in the western United States to earn the distinction — and was a finalist for a Best-in-Nation award. Club members learned Feb. 27 they didn’t make the national cut. “We had some tears yesterday,” CODE Club leader and RVMS teacher Tiffiny Vaughn said. But the Best in Region title earned them a $5,000 grant to enhance the school’s STEM programs. The school will add some funds to bring the app to life, help that would have been provided by Verizon as part of the national award. “We’re going to get some computer science experts to come and we’re going to finish building our app,” Vaughn said. “Next year, we’re going to have it alive and usable by all the children. “I want the kids to get the second wind and know that just because we didn’t win the national award doesn’t mean we didn’t have a success — because I’m so proud of them.”

Some students already know. “Even though we did not win the national level it was still a great achievement to have won the regional competition and it is definitely going on to my future resume,” Konstantin Zaremski said. Vaughn launched CODE Club in March 2013, with help from a $15,000 Douglas County School District grant. That grant allowed her to purchase 10 MacBook Pro computers and 10 iPads for the before-andafter-school club. CODE Club includes about 20 enthusiastic members, whose passion for programming has grown with news of the recent awards. “When I first joined CODE Club, I kind of thought that I would get called a nerd because all we do is sit here and code,” said RVMS student Cade Bowers. “After we got entered in regionals and nationals, people were congratulating me as I walked down the halls because, after all, nerds rule the world — and I will be one of those nerds.” “Since I joined CODE Club, I have been working harder in school because CODE Club makes me happy,” said student Jason Spond. “I used to be all depressed about school, but now I wake up almost every day of the week knowing that I will be doing what makes me happy. I hope to get a computer programming job in the future.” Those are the kinds of words Vaughn hopes to hear repeated in the years to come. “As new students come into Ranch View, we will continue to have the resources and tools kids need so they can develop pan in-depth knowledge of computer science that’s age-appropriate for them,” she said.

Making soMe wild friends

Living the La La land lifestyle Mikael Padilla, local hair stylist and owner of Mikael Padilla Salon at 300 Fillmore St. in Cherry Creek, was in La La land last weekend for a trip to the Oscars. Padilla attended the March 2 Academy Awards with friend and client, Taryn Rose, an orthopedic surgeon-turned shoe designer. You can see her designs at www. tarynrose.com. Rose is a Vietnamese refuge and became a doctor like her father before creating a successful shoe business, designed out of frustration with shoes that left women with aching feet. Padilla also had an appointment to color Camila Alves’ hair on March 1. Who is that you ask? Only the wife of Best Actor recipient Matthew McConaughey, for his work in “Dallas Buyers Club.”

48th Eye of the Camera Exhibition opens Littleton show running through March 30 By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com “Yguazu (Big Water),” a misty, mystical, magical color photograph by Fernando Bozo was awarded “Best of Show, Color” by juror Jeffrey Rupp in the 48th Annual Eye of the Camera Exhibition. “It stood out from the beginning,” said Rupp of the photo taken at dusk on the multiple falls on the Yguazu River, a Unesco Heritage Site that touches Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. When the photo was shot, it had been raining, the river was about 10 times its average volume, and it started to rain again hard just after he got his exposure —which gives him a reason to return, he figures. One can see the numerous smaller falls and the path of the river dividing Argentina and Brazil. He and his wife said at the exhibits reception at the Littleton Museum that family members they were visiting were so apologetic about the rain, but they figure it was good, after all, with this award. The Boulder resident, who works in Lone Tree, says he is an amateur who has

Spanking new “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon took a pot shot at our own Gov. John Hickenlooper Feb. 25 by making jest of Colorado’s legal retail marijuana laws. “Colorado expects to make $100 million from taxing legalized marijuana,” the comedian said. “Governor John Hickenlooper (big audience laugh at the name) says he will use a lot of that money to build new schools. Suggested names? “U. Holden Academy, Hot Pocket Prep and St. Mary Jane’s.”

Seth Meyers coming to Colorado

Speaking of NBC late-night hosts: Seth Meyers, the new host of NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” will perform live at The Ellie Caulkins Opera House on Sept. 13. Meyers replaced Fallon as host of “Late Night” on Feb. 24. Tickets for the show are $49.50 to $59.50 and went on sale Feb. 28. Proceeds will benefit The Zarlengo Foundation, a Colorado-based 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization whose guiding principle is to support families of learning disabled children. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to schools and programs in the community that provide specialized education for children with learning disabilities, including but not limited to language-based, attention and nonverbal disabilities such as dyslexia and attention deficit disorder.

TAG Burger Bar busts budget on Zagat list

“Yguazu (Big Water)” by Fernando Boza, was named Best of Show by juror Jeffrey Rupp in the 2014 Eye of the Camera Exhibit, presented by the Littleton Fine Arts Board at the Littleton Museum through March 30. Courtesy photo photographed nature and wildlife in Africa, Australia, South America, etc. He “generally finds inspiration in and around Colorado — whether it is the Rocky Mountain National Park, Mount Evans, Yellowstone — or at the Boulder Reservoir. There were 113 photographers who entered 328 images for this always-popular show. Of those, Rupp selected 76 photos by 60 photographers for a lively, inviting exhibit. In addition to jurying the show at the Littleton Museum, Rupp owns the Denver School of Photography, with locations in the Santa Fe Arts District and Park Hill, where he teaches at all levels and has a gal-

lery. Other awards were: Best of Show Black and White: “Kanarra Creek” by Robert Lace; Best of Show Darkroom (vs. digital): “The Lionfish” by Conor Culver. (Lace, Culver and Bozo will hold a three-man show next year as a reward.) First Place Color: “Indian Child Dancer;” by Charles Lehman; First Place Black and White: “Wind Storm” by Carol Walker; Second Place Color: “Rialto Gondolier” by Sam Dichter; Second Place Black and White: “Las Trancas Cowboy” by Ron Cooper. The exhibit, put on by the Littleton Fine Arts Board runs through March 30.

Got a burger budget to burn? Zagat has some ideas on where to go and one of those m selected was TAG Burger Bar in Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood. The Zagateers wrote: “Troy Guard’s funky Congress Park tavern opened well over a year ago, and still no one’s managed to outdo his Andrew Jackson burger — a $20 topping.” TAG Burger Bar is located at 1222 Madison St.

`… If it ain’t got that swing’ By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com The bandstand is at the back of center stage, featuring six fine musicians knocking out one great swing era number after another from the 1930s and 40s, as they form a live backdrop for vocalists and dancers.

The audience sees assorted signs: “Savoy,” “USO,” “Rialto Room,” etc. as they tour to venues where music and dance are happening and melody surrounds. The music is in set arrangements, rather than the jazz improvisational performances we often hear today, so a choreographer can design a piece that will work every time. It’s “Swing!” the musical, conceived by

Paul Kelly and originally directed and choreographed by award-winning Lynne Taylor-Corbett, a Littleton High graduate who made it big-time on Broadway — with this show and many more. It opened in 1999 at the St. James Theatre in New York and is unique in that it consists entirely of lively song and dance, with no storyline or dialogue, thus requiring a very specific cast. Swing dance is enjoying a new round of popularity, so this should appeal to more folks than just those of us who enjoyed it on the first pass. Director/dancer Matthew Peters has assembled four singers and eight dancers who work together smoothly, with dancers managing lightening costume changes and acrobatic numbers. Multi-talented Seth Caikowski is a sort of singing, dancing emcee who strings acts together and harmonizes with vocalists Anna High, Traci Kern and De Thomas, who each bring a distinctive solo style to the show.

Rock Canyon thespians head to nationals `Jack and Jill’ sends nine actors to Nebraska stage By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com After their stars were born at the annual Colorado Thespian Conference December 2013 in Denver, nine Rock Canyon thespians are headed for the National Thespian Conference at the University of NebraskaLincoln this June. They group hopes to raise funds to help with their travels, and potential donors are asked to contact their director, Cindy Baker, at Cindy.Baker@dcsdk12.org. Colorado sends just one one-act play from the many that compete at the state conference and Rock Canyon’s entry, “Jack and Jill,” by Jane Martin was chosen. Senior Nathan Nelson directed and acted in it, with junior Meredith Ham. In this play about a couple, two crew members interacted with the cast members

throughout, due to frequent costume and set changes. Sophomore Sam Hulsizer and junior Francesca Wearsch filled those roles. Other students qualified as superior in various local competitions. Junior Sam Molitoriss received 100 percent on his Lighting Design competition. And sophomore Chris Woodley, senior Zach Rickert, and juniors Kalle Sorbo and Lauren Yehle will also be making the trip. They will perform, compete, attend workshops and the juniors will audition for college scholarships, according to Baker. The director said that the department at Nebraska has state-of-the-art facilities, thanks to an endowment from the estate of alumnus Johnny Carson. Five from this group are also involved in the school production of “Sweeney Todd (school version),” playing this weekend at Rock Canyon. More than 2800 students from across the country and their teachers converge on the University of Nebraska campus each year for the weeklong Thespian Festival.

Hearing the call with their hearts Historic B&B to open after hours for fundraising dinners for nearly-deaf child By Virginia Grantier

A little toddler by the name of Jenimae has a major problem. To help, Castle Rock’s historic B&B Café, 324 Wilcox St. — usually open only for breakfast and lunch — will be open for supper from 5:30-8:30 p.m. March 7 and 8. The B&B plans to make no money those nights. It’s all for Jenimae. B&B’s owner, Robert Schoene, is letting an employee and friend, Chris Vigil, former co-owner and chef of Vigil’s Mexican restaurant, use the B&B those two nights so he can prepare take-out and sit-down meals. On the menu: such things as burritos, tacos, tamales, etc. and the Vigil family’s green chile recipe. The price: whatever people want to pay. Groceries have been donated and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to help Jenimae Michener, an 11-month-old Castle Rock resident, who has only about 10 percent of her hearing because of a hereditary disorder she was born with — Treacher Collins Syndrome, which can cause facial de-

formities and affect hearing. Jenimae needs special hearing aids that cost $4,150 each, plus medical costs, which her parents, Amber and Joshua Michener, of Castle Rock, who have two other children, can’t afford and their insurance only covers a piece of. “We’re overhelmed with happiness that someone wants to help us out,” Amber Michener said. How this fundraising event came about is because Amber Michener was helping someone else out, not Jenimae. “I give all the credit to God for things like this,” said Kristin Arabally, 36, of Castle Rock, who started this effort. Arabally said she didn’t even know Amber Michener until recently when she read online a posting in a mom’s group that Amber was looking for free baby items for a friend on a tight budget who was expecting a baby. Arabally, a mother of two, had items and invited Amber to pick them up, which she did. It wasn’t until later, accidentally, that Arabally read that the Micheners themselves had a major problem they were dealing with. Arabally said she was initially impressed with Amber the day they met, but was even more impressed when she thought about how Amber had been focused on helping a friend while trying to deal with her own baby’s problem.

Arabally has her own toddler, and a 3-year-old, and hasn’t had much sleep in the last three years, she said, laughing. But she wanted to help. “I want to be this kind of person (that helps),” she said. And so she and friends discussed various possibilities, discarded them, and then she thought about her mom who in the past organized events getting restaurants to donate, say, 10 percent of a night’s profits. So she went to one restaurant, got a “no,” went to a second who said “yes,” but had to get permission from corporate, and it didn’t happen. And then one night Arabally and her husband went to the B&B to eat and she told Schonene the situation. Schonene pointed to Vigil and said, “That’s your guy.” Vigil, 38, who said his passion is cooking, wanted to do it — but not give just 10 percent of proceeds, but 100 percent. He got the use of the restaurant and there will be silent auctions items, too, from local businesses and Vigil’s mom is baking caramel apple pies. “How can you say no to that face?” Vigil said about Jenimae. Vigil and Arabally said they know this time in Jenimae’s life is crucial, her being able to hear sounds, formulate sounds, so she can start to learn to talk. They hope people hear the call to help.

Jaguars march on to Sweet 16 in girls hoops Arapahoe concludes season at 15-10, goes two and out By Jim Benton

Rock Canyon accomplished its goal of a fast start in its Feb. 28 Class 5A secondround girls state playoff game against Arapahoe. Kendall Koslosky took a pass from Erin McClarie and scored four seconds into the game and the Jaguars never looked back in notching a 60-44 win. “We talked about getting a quick start and not ever having to play from behind,” said Rock Canyon coach Becky Mudd. “We wanted to get out early. That was a key for us.” Rock Canyon grabbed a 10-0 lead, before the cold-shooting Warriors finally scored when Mikaela Moore made the second of two free throws with 1:22 to play in the first quarter. Arapahoe missed on its first 11 shots. Jennah Knafelc finally hit a 3-point shot with 17 seconds remaining in the opening quarter for the visitors’ first field goal of the game. “That’s how we need to start games, by dominating in the beginning,” advocated Rock Canyon senior Morgan Roos. “We went and set a tone from the beginning that `you are in our house.’” Arapahoe, which downed Liberty 50-31 in the first round, played better in the second half, but Rock Canyon pushed its lead to 21 points at a couple points during the half. The Warriors, who finished the game shooting 34 percent from the floor, could pull no closer than 13 points with 4:23 left in the game. “We just didn’t shoot well in the first

half,” said Arapahoe coach Jerry Knafelc. “We played reasonably good defense most of the time. We played them even in the second half. … We spotted them too much. They are a very good team, very talented. Hats off to them, they did what they needed to do to win.’’ Rock Canyon (17-7) got contributions from a variety of players. Senior Lexy Thorderson scored from inside and outside. She paced the Jaguars with 16 points that included four 3-pointers. “That’s great,” explained Mudd. “Inside, outside when you have both of those working it’s tough to stop.” Roos scored 14 points and was credited with 14 rebounds and five blocked shots. “She did well,” said Mudd. “She kept good composure. They were physical and they were banging with her but she kept her head, kept working in there and got a lot of good put backs.” Koslosky finished with 11 points, Delaney Sullivan had seven, Kendall Smith six and McClarie six points, eight rebounds and eight assists. “We got threes from Erin McClarie, some good shots from Delaney Sullivan and then Kendall Koslosky a few times just drove to the basket and made some layups,” said Mudd. “It was nice to spread it around.” Rock Canyon traveled to Cherry Creek to face the Bruins (21-3) in a Sweet 16 game on March 4 that took place after Colorado Community Media’s deadline. Knafelc and Moore each scored 12 points for Arapahoe in the Warriors’ finale. The Warriors, which had to deal with the Dec. 13 shooting at the school, concluded their season with a 15-10 record. “I have so much respect for our players and their ability to try to put that behind them and focus on basketball,” said Jerry Knafelc. “They did a great job and I admire them for their work ethic and focus.”

Gabel, Finesilver share top wrestling honor Ponderosa and Cherry Creek champs named south metro’s best By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dylan Gabel and Mitch Finesilver survived the 2013-14 season with targets on their backs. Gabel, a senior from Ponderosa, won the 170-pound state championship in 2013, while Finesilver, a senior at Cherry Creek was the state titlist at 120 pounds. Most opponents wrestling against Gabel and Finesilver used the matches as measuring sticks and often wrestled more defensively trying not to get embarrassed. Gabel and Finesilver, who have been selected as the Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Wrestlers of the Year, continued to be aggressive. Both won their second straight state individual championships during the Class 5A state tournament Feb. 22 at the Pepsi Center. Gabel pinned Jaylen Mosqueira of Arapahoe in 3:11 to win the 182-pound title while Finesilver edged Coronado’s Jess Hankin, 1-0, to capture the 126-championship. In the 2014 state tourna-

ment Gabel pinned all four of his opponents and set a Ponderosa single season record with 35 falls. He also broke a record set by his older brother Austin, now a wrestler at Virginia Tech, by recording 288 team points. “He was on fire in the state tournament,” said Ponderosa coach Corey McNellis of Gabel. “He was on a mission. He

It was nev-

I try to keep my aggressive style no matter who I am wrestling and just try to break the will of my opponent. “Last year was a year of confidence for me. I was able to prove that I could

wrestle with the best after the year off I had with my back and everything.” Gabel’s brother Austin is a former three-time Colorado state champion. Dylan might have had a chance to match his brother’s three state titles if he had wrestled as a sophomore. “I take a lot of (trash talk) from him because of that,” admitted Gabel. “There’s nothing I can do about that now.’’ Finesilver, whose twin brother Zach was the 138-pound titlist this season, compiled a 50-1 record and was one of four Finesilver brothers wrestling for Creek this season, all of whom made it to the Pepsi Center. “He had a real good year,” said Cherry Creek coach Mike Luhring. “Guys knew who he was. He had frustrating matches. They didn’t want to get beat bad. They would lock on his wrists to prevent him from getting shots off. He’s such a good wrestler he would find a way to win those frustrating matches.” Finesilver, who along with Zach will be going to Duke next season, took his piggy-back state titles in stride. “Each year is different and every match is different,” he said. “Winning the championship last year didn’t help this year.”

but knew a race could go either way. With the sprint races she has to be pretty darn perfect. “Her focus this year was relentless. That’s what kept her pretty consistent. She was so determined. And she did a really good job of keeping all her emotions in check and just focusing on the swimming and enjoying herself.” Most of Ochitwa’s determination can be traced to the fact she was second in the state as a freshman and sophomore in the 50yard freestyle. She also finished in second and third place, respectively, in the 100 the past two years. “It’s a long season,” said Ochitwa. “Three months (from the start of practice) of taking it all in and thinking about it every single day in practice can get exhausting. Your body is tired and your brain is fried but you find a way to think about the end goal. “My goal, as simple as it sounds, was to win the two state championships. As much as I would have liked to have gone faster, that was my goal and I accomplished it. I couldn’t have been happier.”

Ochitwa won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.11 seconds and set a personal best by touching up in 49.92 seconds in the 100yard freestyle. “I just went out and swam,” said Ochitwa. “I did everything I could to prepare. I knew I didn’t leave anything in the pool leading up to the state meet. I was ready. I don’t think it was difficult to be consistent during the season. I just got in a groove and did what I expected out of myself.” Ochitwa took one day off after the state meet but then started swimming for her Denver Swim Academy club team. “I took Sunday off but Monday was back to my club team,” she said. “I’m used to it. I’ve got a routine and swimming every day is just part of my life right now.”

Two missing teens rescued at Roxborough County rescue workers find 18-year-old hikers caught in snow By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com After spending hours lost and stuck in knee-deep snow, two Highlands Ranch teenagers, and their neighbor’s dog, were found by county rescue workers on Feb. 23. The two 18-year-old males, Jack Eickelman and David Madden, were hiking in the Rampart Range area west of Roxborough State Park when they became lost, according to Douglas County Search and Rescue. The father of one of the hik-

ers, Steve Eickelman, called police when the pair did not return home on time. The two had left for the hours-long hike around 1 p.m. About 9 p.m., the car they were driving was found by a Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy, who called in DCSAR. As the agency was being activated, rescue workers received a distress signal from a personal tracker, locating the teens about four miles from the nearest highway, north of the Indian Creek Campground. The boys and the dog were found uninjured around midnight in an area called Stevens Gulch north of Highway 67, said DCSAR president Bruce Fosdick. Temperatures were in the mid-20s with winds gusting from 20-30 miles an hour. Fosdick said the teens had tun-

neled out a pit in the snow and huddled up to keep warm. The first rescue team started around 10:15 p.m. before the teenagers were found around an hour and a half later by their footprints. “The wind was really blowing that night, it was quite chilly,” Fosdick said. “They didn’t have a lot of extra clothing or food with them.” Jack Eickelman and Madden were met by an ATV team before they were driven back to the DCSAR base where family members were waiting. “It was three miles of challenging terrain, taking three hours to reach a main trail where the hikers and their dog were met by a DCSAR ATV Team and then driven to the DCSAR base to their waiting family members,” a news release said. The hikers attempted to walk in

knee-deep snow and “became wet and exhausted,” according to the release. Exposed to the cold, the pair showed initial signs of hypothermia. Emergency crews fed, rehydrated and warmed the hikers and the dog, and the rescue mission concluded around 5 a.m. on Feb.24. Fosdick said hikers should watch the weather and bring extra clothes and food. “They were probably appropriately dressed for the weather when they left, but it got a lot colder after it got dark,” he said. “It was good that they had a SPOT beacon (personal tracker), too. We tried to ping their cell phones, but they weren’t working. You can’t always get service out there.” A map and a compass are good to have on hikes, too, he said.

Castle Rock City Council voted 4-3 Jan. 28 to repeal the town’s ban on open carrying of firearms. That meant that 30 days after that vote, the repeal was to go into effect and anyone who owned a handgun, assault rifle or other legally purchased firearm could legally openly carry that weapon into town hall and other town facilities except for municipal court and areas within 1,000 feet of a school. The three who voted against the repeal — Councilmembers Clark Hamm Elman, Mark Heath and Chip Wilson — wanted the issue given to the town’s voters to decide. Mayor Paul Donahue, managing partner of the Centennial Gun Club, voted to repeal. He is the one who in June 2013 brought up the idea of a repeal, asking council to consider it, maintaining it’s a Constitutional, Second Amendment issue. Councilmembers Jennifer Green, Renee Valentine and Joe Procopio also voted for the repeal.
