ARAPAHOE HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING
Reports claim missteps before attack
Procedures were not followed, warning signs were missed, say researchers By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three separate and independent reports have concluded there were failures in the Arapahoe High School administration’s handling of Karl Pierson in the months and even years before Dec. 13, 2013. That was the day he walked through a door, which the district acknowledges should have been locked, with a gun and fatally wounded fellow student Claire Davis moments before killing himself.
Pierson “was deemed low risk using insufficient data that was gathered.” That was just one of the conclusions reached in the 108-page report by the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. The CSPV study was commissioned by Claire Davis’ family, and is arguably harsher than the two others prepared at the request of Littleton Public Schools — one by mental-health consultant Dr. Sarah Kanan and one by security consultant Safe Havens. All three reports were released on Jan. 18 after months of arbitration and depositions came to a close. “In retrospect and with the benefit of a great deal more information than was available at the time, we now
understand that some warning signs were missed by those both inside and outside of LPS,” writes Superintendent Brian Ewert in a fourth report addressing communication during and after the incident. “We are profoundly sorry that this may have contributed to the loss of two students’ lives that day.” The first three reports all agree that procedures were not followed that could have interrupted Pierson’s plot, which he embarked on and began journaling about that September. The reports were released 15 months after the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office concluded there was no criminal wrongdoing on the part of Arapahoe High or school district officials.
CLAIRE DAVIS’ PARENTS SPEAK Michael and Desiree Davis, the parents of Arapahoe High School shooting victim Claire Davis, hope the reports released Jan. 18 will encourage a change in thinking about safety in public schools. Last year, the couple agreed not to hold the school district liable in exchange for the arbitration process and making the reports public. “(We hope) to challenge parents, administrators, teachers and legislators to embrace a caring, tolerant and compassionate culture that empowers our schools to intervene and help kids in crisis,” they said in the preface to the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence report. “Going through the arbitration process was our gift to the State of Colorado. It is now up to the parents of public school students, school administrators and our state legislators to take the recommendations in this report and implement them — to put into practice the things we have learned from this report so that all the children are safe from harm in our public schools.”

Firefighters prep for underwater rescues Regional rescue divers participate in training exercise at Big Soda Lake
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Fire rescue dive team members are not called upon often, but when they’re needed, they’re needed urgently. To keep skills sharp, West Metro Fire Rescue hosted the yearly ice dive — a regional dive team training exercise — on Jan. 11 at Big Soda Lake at Bear Creek Lake Park in Morrison. About 15 firefighters represented Westminster Fire Department, West Metro Fire Rescue and South Metro Fire Rescue. Ice continues on Page 4
ICE SAFETY TIPS Because of constantly changing temperatures and water movement, ice is never really safe. If you see someone or an animal fall through the ice, do not go out onto the ice to help them. Those who try to help often become victims themselves.
What to do if you fall in:
Here is how you can help:
• Once out, roll away from the hole. Crawl back toward solid ice, keeping your weight evenly distributed to avoid breaking through the ice again.
• Call 911 immediately. Firefighters have special suits and equipment to make ice rescues. • Mark where the person is in the water by lining up their location in the water with an object on the far shore. • Throw a flotation device attached to a rope, extend a long tree branch, pole, jumper cables or ladder to the person if you can reach them with these from shore.
• Don’t panic. Loudly call for help. • Turn back the way you came in and put your hands and arms on the unbroken surface and work forward by kicking your feet.
A national organized crime ring has been linked to recent thefts in the south metro area. The Felony Lane Gang, based in south Florida, is suspected of three crimes in Centennial last month, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. “These criminals target gyms, parks, day cares, shopping centers and other places frequented by women,” a sheriff’s office news release states. “They are often looking for vehicles that have been left briefly unattended and unlocked. They are specifically targeting purses and checkbooks and have left electronics and credit cards untouched.” While the suspects prefer unlocked vehicles, they will smash windows to gain entrance if needed, the sheriff’s office said. They are known to cash stolen checks at bank drive-through lanes. Incidents linked to the gang were reported the mornings of Dec. 17 and 18 at three locations in Centennial: the Thieves continues on Page 4

Group of Coloradans solicits input for ballot initiatives Nonpartisan group holds 40 community meetings statewide
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com A million Colorado voters are unaffiliated and, by law, unable to vote in primary elections, according to Building a Better Colorado, a nonpartisan coalition of Coloradans that was formed last spring. “There’s a growing disconnect between citizens and the government,” said Reeves Brown, project coordinator. Colorado’s election process was one of three topics discussed at the coalition’s South Denver Metro Summit on Jan. 7. The two-hour meeting was part of Building a Better Colorado’s 40-stop community tour to increase political discourse prior to the 2016 legislative session. Building a Better Colorado’s executive committee was developed by Dan Ritchie, former chancellor of the University of Denver. Its advisory committee includes political figures, bipartisan business people and community leaders from across the state. The goal of the coalition is to “make Colorado a better place” by listening to local voices, according to Dave Thomson, head of public relations for Building a Better Colorado. “We want to get intellectual discussion going to look at statewide issues,” he said. Colorado’s fiscal, initiative and election processes are three topics of discussion. The long-term group hopes to help with other political issues as needed. Colorado currently uses initiatives to amend the state’s constitution and bypass the Legislature. “Conflicting policies that have been placed into our constitution as amendments make it exceedingly difficult for state officials to follow voters’ directions,” according to the group. The coalition considers Colorado’s fiscal process as unsustainable, based on voterapproved revenue limits. The large number of unaffiliated voters in the state means a percentage of the state’s population can’t participate in pri-

And, “a declining number of citizens who represent only a small fraction of eligible voters — generally, the most active in the party — participate in caucuses, which limits the broad appeal of candidates nominated via that process,” the group said. The nonprofit group is an entity that is separate from political campaigns, with a goal of listening and creating ideas that could potentially go to the voters as ballot initiatives, according to Thomson. “It’s truly organic, coming from the people,” said Thomson. “We started with an open slate and brought it down to three issues.” The South Denver Metro Summit was held in the ballroom of AMG National Trust Bank, at 6295 Greenwood Plaza Blvd, and drew around 70 people. “It was informative,” said Peter Bauer, a businessman of Centennial. “And thought provoking.” Guests discussed the three topics and then voted on potential solutions. Many
were stumped on a fix to Colorado’s low voter turnout. In 2015, 37 percent of voters were registered as independent, according to Building a Better Colorado. And voters must join a political party to participate in the 2016 taxpayer-funded primary elections. “This can result in representatives who are accountable to only the most active partisan voters in their party, and not the majority of voters in their district,” according to the coalition’s webpage. “It’s a system that can encourage the extremes instead of rewarding compromise.” Reeves started the conversation by addressing three options — maintain the current voting policy, change policy options to allow independent voters to participate in the primary elections, or have a “Top Two” system that gives all voters the same ballot. Fifty-six percent of the summit’s audience voted to change the current policy. “Do you want a representative government or a do you want to speak for your-
self?” asked Tom Golden, a registered Republican in the audience. “It’s a direct democracy versus a representative republic.” Golden, like others who attended, said he disagreed with the current Electoral College and that a new system should be in place. The discussion-based summit allowed guests to voice opinions and brainstorm options for the state’s election process. Building a Better Colorado wrapped up its community summits on Jan. 15. A citizens’ assembly meeting is set for Jan., 23 at the Denver Metro Chamber, where two people from each summit will review the collected data. The hope is to move forward with three ballot initiatives once approved by a board, according to Thomson. And then, “go into campaign mode from midFebruary to November.” “You’ll see a lot of things on the ballot,” Thomson said. “What you won’t see is what we did, which is going through the entire state and hearing people’s voices.”

Arapahoe Continued from Page 1
Communication breakdown cited Not only was LPS using unverified methods of reporting behavior that should, and did, raise suspicions that things were not well in Pierson’s world, the paperwork was not being filled out completely, accurately or meticulously, the reports say. No one person at Arapahoe High knew the entire picture of the oddities that were becoming more common in his behavior, though several students, teachers and counselors knew bits and pieces. Nobody ever called Safe2Tell, an anonymous reporting resource, nor were the details of Pierson’s behavior shared with anyone outside the school or above the level of Principal Natalie Pramenko, whether it be district administrators, the LPS security team or even the school resource officer assigned to the school, Deputy James Englert. Most either went unreported or stopped at the desk of Kevin Kolasa — who is now an assistant principal at Euclid Middle School but at the time was the assistant principal in charge of discipline at Arapahoe — or counselor Esther Song. Englert did, however, know about a threat Pierson uttered in the school

9000 block of East Mineral Avenue, the 6800 block of South Homestead Parkway and the 10400 block of East Easter Avenue. The sheriff’s office said authorities are also investigating crimes that may be linked to the group in Douglas County, Aurora and other areas of Arapahoe County. A national task force has been established to combat the gang. The Felony Lane Gang Task Force has a Facebook page dedicated to this pursuit. “The Felony Lane Gang has been operating for years, raking in millions of dollars
parking lot against librarian and debate coach Tracy Murphy, who had just kicked Pierson off the debate team. Safe Haven’s report asks why Englert didn’t charge Pierson with menacing at that point, or at least investigate the matter further. Murphy and at least one other teacher tried to discuss concerns about Pierson with Pramenko, but she referred them back to Kolasa, according to the depositions. In her deposition, Pramenko said it was part of the school’s culture for teachers and administration to not talk. “There was this wall [between teachers and administrators]. … I thought that wall just automatically came down when I became the principal, and it didn’t,” she said. “And I know I still have work to do.” An ‘unhealthy’ climate There was little to no follow up on any of at least 30 incidents dating to 2003, when Pierson was in second grade and hit two fellow students with a lunch box “because they weren’t moving fast enough.” The incidents continued until after he turned 18, bought a gun, showed it to a few friends and then used it on Davis and himself the following week. CSPV says the lack of focus on Pierson’s behavior is a result of “groupthink” that pervades the Arapahoe High hallways. “The evidence of faulty systems thinking within AHS and LPS included with criminal activity that crosses multiple state lines,” the page says. “Up until recent months, many of these cases were filed away as local burglary and the bigger picture was missed entirely. These cases are connected … very well connected and this page is working hard to put the puzzle pieces together. “Members of the Felony Lane Gang are normally based in south Florida and from there travel the country in rental vehicles ... The suspects then recruit females who are normally prostitutes and/or drug addicts to assume the identities of the theft victims in order to cash stolen checks belonging to other victims.” The sheriff’s office asks anyone with information about the local crimes to call its tip line at 720-874-8477.
a tendency for groupthink, a reluctance to reflect on and admit failure, and the minimization of sincere concern,” reads the CSPV report. “These findings represent the most challenging and the most important of the problems to solve, because information sharing and threat assessment cannot overcome an unhealthy organizational system.” Comments made by Tracy Murphy in his deposition reflect an example. “You know, nobody likes bad news,” he said. “We’re a school of 2,100 kids, you know, a large suburban high school. … [W]e have to confront the fact that, you know, not every kid at Arapahoe High School is the cream of the crop. … [I] t would be healthier at Arapahoe High School to … admit that, you know, it’s not perfect here, that there’s always room for improvement, that mistakes are made and that you can learn from those mistakes. And we tell kids all the time that, [but] sometimes I wonder how true it is, it’s okay to fail, it’s okay to make mistakes, but then we don’t let them.” According to CSPV, that statement and other evidence suggests that “AHS’s climate was unhealthy.” Learning from the past That seems to reaffirm one of the major findings of the district’s own safety and mental-health committee, launched in 2014 in the wake of the tragedy.
Ice Continued from Page 1
This is the time of year when incidents happen, said Ronda Scholting, West Metro Fire Rescue’s spokeswoman. People go out ice fishing, or a person may try to rescue a dog that was chasing geese onto a frozen pond, she said. Just three days after the training session, three teenage boys fell through the ice of a retention pond in Parker. Two were pulled to safety by first responders, but the third died. All firefighters are trained for surface rescue, which is when the person is
“We believe that LPS and the greater community recognize an emphasis on high achievement and high performance, with the unintended consequences of creating a climate for mental-health issues and pressures on students,” it found in a report released in June 2015. “Given that, there need to be supports for students (and, by extension, parents) around coping skills, resiliency and recovery.” All three reports note that many other districts throughout the country have similar shortcomings, and Safe Haven stresses that LPS was better than many even before the shooting. All applaud the district for steps taken since December 2013, like adding school resource officers, security cameras and counselors. “We are proud of the LPS community, which has emerged from this tragedy stronger than ever,” writes Ewert, who took over as superintendent in fall 2015. “LPS will continue to debrief, discuss, learn, and improve in all areas of the organization. LPS appreciates the opportunity to learn from the various reports prepared by experts during this process. After an initial analysis, we are pleased to see that LPS has already implemented many of the recommendations in the reports. All other recommendations will be carefully considered as the district continues to identify ways to implement meaningful and thoughtful improvements for the benefit of all students.”
visible in the water, but the dive team has to be a certified diver with special training for underwater rescue, Scholting said. The scenario for this year’s ice dive was an ice fisher who had gone underwater. The firefighters had to use a grid system to bring the fisher, a large dummy, to the surface. Although it gives people “peace of mind” to know there are firefighters specifically trained for ice and underwater rescue, Scholting urges everyone to stay off the ice. “No ice is safe,” she said, and added that if an incident does happen, do not attempt a rescue unless trained to do so.

Help us, say Colorado superintendents
School leaders urge state Legislature to fix education finance
WHAT EDUCATORS WANT During the 2016 legislative session, Colorado superintendents are specifically advocating for the General Assembly to do the following, according to a letter to state legislators:
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert stood with 70 of his counterparts inside the jam-packed rotunda in the state Capitol on Jan. 11, urging legislators to untangle what Ewert calls the “Gordian knot” that is school finance in Colorado. “Across Colorado, we teach our students to be 21st-century citizens and employ the skills of collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication,” Ewert said after the press conference. “In the most simple terms, superintendents and advocates of public education are asking the incredibly smart people of Colorado to come together, use these skills and find solutions to Colorado’s fiscal crisis.” Bruce Messinger of the Boulder Valley School District, the state’s 2016 Superintendent of the Year and co-chair of the Colorado Association of School Executives, notes that Colorado spends about $2,000 less a year per student than the national average. “What we’re asking is that the hole doesn’t get any deeper,” said
Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert speaks to supporters after a press event at the state Capitol on Jan. 11. Photo by Jennifer Smith Messinger. “They’re a whole child, but we fund them as part of a child in this state.” Ewert emphasizes restoring what’s known as the “negative factor,” which has cost his district alone $87.5 million in funding since it was implemented in 2009 in the midst of the “Great Recession.” “It made sense in a bad economy when everyone was expected to tighten their belts, but now things are different,” said Shannon Bird, a Westminster City Council member with two children in the Adams 12 Five Star School District. Colorado’s Amendment 23 mandates that the state pay a base
amount per child to school districts, which must rise in accordance to the rate of inflation. It applies a formula based on variables such as size, local cost of living and the number of at-risk kids, in an effort to more equitably distribute the funds. But in 2009, the Legislature decided the amount each district gets based on those factors does not have to increase, just the base. “We hold firmly to the belief that voters’ intent in passing Amendment 23 was for schools to realize year-over-year funding increases of at least inflation plus student growth,” reads a letter to state legislators signed by 167 of
1. Uphold the intent of the General Assembly, detailed in SB 15-267, and not reduce state appropriations for the 2015-2016 School Finance Act as a result of increases in statewide assessed property values and consideration of other factors including economic forecasts and statewide enrollment changes. 2. Support a supplemental appropriation for 2015-2016 if necessary to ensure per-pupil funding is not reduced as a the state’s 178 superintendents. Among the superintendents to sign the letter were those from the Jefferson County, Cherry Creek, Englewood and Adams 12 Five Star districts. “All 178 of us could stand up here and tell you stories about what their children are not getting,” said Kirk Banghart, superintendent of the Moffat 2 School District. “Schools are not just the educational and social hub for students, they are the social and emo-
result of enrollment growth or the number of at-risk pupils enrolled. 3. Avoid increasing the negative factor in fiscal year 2016-17. 4. Increase total program funding in fiscal year 2016-17 by the rate of inflation and additional amounts necessary to account for increases in pupil enrollment and the number of at-risk students enrolled. 5. Reclassify the Hospital Provider Fee to an enterprise fund during the 2016 legislative session as a short-term measure to provide additional funding for Colorado’s schools.
tional hearts of the communities.” Ewert hopes the Legislature will be able to agree on some strategies to fix the overall picture this time around. “I’m certain there are multiple pathways to creative solutions that will not only solve the public school financial issue, but also the looming crisis facing higher education, transportation and health and human services throughout Colorado,” he said.

looked forward to leaving a record of cooperation. “I, hopeReport fully, will leave a legacy of nonpartisan, bipartisan work,” Newell said. “I’m so proud of the work I’ve been able to do with collaboration.” Leaders of the two chambers underscored their varying philosophical approaches to dealing with the major issues of budget, affordable housing, transportation and education over the 120-day session. But several also called for putting the best interests of the state before politics. “Performing our duties to the best of our abilities means finding the best solutions,” said Senate President Bill Cadman, a Republican from Colorado Springs, who emphasized how Newell’s and others’ bipartisan collaboration in 2015 resulted in successful legislation. “We didn’t seek Republican solutions or Democratic solutions; we sought the right solutions and we succeeded.” House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso said that “reasonable people can differ.” The Republican who represents Loveland
Capitol
By Ann Macari Healey ahealey@coloradocommunitymedia.com Shortly before the gavel sounded in the newly refurbished state Senate chamber, Linda Newell’s eyes unexpectedly welled with tears. “It’s hard to leave something that I love so much,” she said as she began her eighth and final legislative session as a state senator representing District 26, which includes Littleton, Englewood, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar and a portion of Centennial. “It’s become Newell a passion for me, not just a job.” Newell, 58, a Democrat who is termlimited, was among 100 state legislators gathered Jan. 13 to open Colorado’s 70th General Assembly amid ritual and patriotic ceremony at the state Capitol in Denver. And like the optimistic tenor of bipartisan workmanship underlying opening-day speeches in the Senate and House, Newell
added: “I encourage all of you to welcome our differences and look beyond party affiliation as you consider the merits of legislation this session.” The biggest issue, said Rep. Kim Ransom, a Republican representing Parker and Lone Tree in District 44, will be finding common ground to pass a state budget through the Republican-controlled Senate and the Democrat-controlled House. “Thank goodness we can’t go start raising taxes to meet whatever” funding requests are presented, she said. “The citizens of Colorado are not undertaxed.” In the House, Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, a Democrat from Boulder, strongly urged the chamber to fight to preserve a “Colorado way of life” that brought more than 100,000 newcomers to the state last year. Doing so, she said, includes ensuring fair workforce regulations, closing offshore tax loopholes that benefit large corporations, providing greater job-training opportunities, eliminating inequity in pay for women and implementing policies to fight climate change. “Our economy will wither if employers stop hiring Coloradans because we lack the education and training that allow us to compete for high-quality jobs,” Hull-

inghorst said. “Commerce will suffer if our roads are crumbling and overwhelmed by congestion. Our magnificent mountain vistas are worse than worthless if they are hidden under a blanket of smog.” Republican legislators such as Sen. Mark Scheffel, of Parker, have ruled out the possibility of moving the hospital provider fee from under the TABOR cap, saying that doing so violates the state Constitution. But Hullinghorst said colleagues should expect to see a bill that would do just that. It would “give us flexibility” to pay for the state’s needs and invest in the future, she said. For Rep. Max Tyler, a Democrat representing District 23 in Lakewood, a top concern is providing more affordable housing in a state with skyrocketing rents that make it difficult for young people, families and seniors with limited incomes to own their homes. Because he is term-limited, he feels a sense of urgency — and frustration. Just as he’s learned how to navigate the job, he must leave. “It’s the most complex, amazing, wonderful job I’ve had in my whole life — to be able to make a difference for the people of Colorado,” said Tyler, 68. “It’s a shame to be walking away with what I’ve learned.”

State officials avoided possible student panic and further controversy by delaying the switch from the ACT to the SAT for high school juniors until 2017. The move to the SAT had been scheduled to begin this spring but was pushed back until the next school year after an outcry from concerned parents, students, teachers and administrators. State superintendents wrote a letter to the Colorado Department of Education urging them not to rush the transition. The CDE announced the decision to postpone the switch on Jan. 11. The move to the SAT was a surprise and would have been difficult to implement this spring, Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert said. “LPS high school students have prepared well for the ACT, and I applaud the Colorado Department of Education in taking quick action by allowing the ACT to be administered this spring to our 11th-graders,” Ewert said. In December, the department of education signed a contract for juniors to take the SAT and sophomores to take the PSAT — a practice assessment that gives students a feel for the SAT. The department of education and the College Board, the company that sells the SAT, PSAT and Advance Placement assessments, entered into a $14.8 million, five-year contract to administer the SAT and PSAT. A committee of 15 educators — urban and rural district administrators and one representative from the CDE — approved the switch from the ACT to the SAT in December in response to a bill passed last year aimed at reducing overall standardized testing. The SAT and PSAT will be given each spring for the next five years. This year’s 10th-grade class will be required to take the PSAT. In neighboring Douglas County, Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said she worried that abandoning the ACT would mean losing data the district has accumulated over the past 14 years. “This is the one piece of long-term longitudinal data ACT continues on Page 11

Students prevail in push for field hockey Board approves plan to add sport for girls By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four girls from Arapahoe High School just made a huge difference for their counterparts throughout Littleton Public Schools. “(Coach) Steve Sisler came to me and said, ‘I have some very persistent students who are intent on adding field hockey, and they are not going to go away,’” Clay Abla, LPS director of secondary education, told the school board on Jan. 14. “I said, ‘Bring them on.’” So for the last year, Sarah Soltes, Natalie Kellogg, Stella Bispham and Emily Armstrong worked with Sisler, Abla, Principal Natalie Pramenko and a group of parents to make it happen. On Jan. 14, they were jubilant when the board unanimously approved the plan. “Everybody doubted us, but
Clay Abla, LPS director of secondary education, celebrates with (from left) Sarah Soltes, Emily Armstrong, Stella Bispham and Natalie Kellogg. The girls worked to create a field hockey team for the district, which the board of education approved Jan. 14. Photo by Jennifer Smith we just kept pushing,” said Soltes. “We wouldn’t take no for an answer.” Field hockey, a sport approved by the Colorado High
School Activities Association, opens up a whole new sport for female students, along with another avenue to college scholarships, noted Bispham —
maybe even the Olympics or a professional career. The girls conducted an informal survey of their peers and already have about 40
interested in joining the team, which will include students from Littleton and Heritage high schools, as well as homeschoolers. There are 13 other teams in the state already, a mix of 4A and 5A, varsity and junior varsity. The team will be managed through a joint venture between Arapahoe, the district and a booster club, as is currently the case with lacrosse and ice hockey. “We knew coming forward that we were trying to keep it no cost or extremely low cost,” said Abla. “And 10 years ago, lacrosse was not necessarily a popular sport, but look at it today.” Two moms stood in support of their daughters. “We are very committed to seeing this through and developing an organized field hockey team for our district,” said Amy Soltes. Julie Kellogg praised the girls’ determination. “They did all the work,” she said. “We wouldn’t be here without them.”

Taxes, spending top State of State speech
Governor says refund money should be used for investment
LEGISLATORS REACT TO SPEECH State Rep. Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock, House District 45: “Our general fund has grown by 47 percent and almost $3 billion since 2009. Yet we have not given a penny to roads until last year when we saw less than 1 percent of the general go to roads. Now the governor thinks it is a “compromise” to raise your taxes because a 47 percent increase was not enough. This is outlandish — we don’t need more of your money. We need to make transportation a priority within the budget we already have.”
By James Anderson Associated Press Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper urged Republicans in his State of the State address to find a way to invest in roads and schools in the fast-growing state by avoiding taxpayer refunds. Hickenlooper, a Democrat, made the pitch to the General Assembly on Jan. 14, insisting that lawmakers must determine how to pay for transportation and schools in the long term to keep Colorado’s economy robust and support its growing population. At some point, Hickenlooper suggested, lawmakers should revisit constitutional spending limits that require taxpayer refunds — money the governor wants to use for investment. Republicans oppose his proposal to remove about $750 million in state hospital patient fees from the spending limits known as the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. “If we can’t make this very reasonable change — like many already allowed by TABOR — then what choice do we have but to re-examine TABOR?” the governor said. Under the limits, he said, his proposed budget calls for a $20 million cut in higher education with no increase in financial aid. Senate President Bill Cadman, a Colorado Springs Republican, is among those who have called the plan illegal, citing a nonbinding legal opinion from the Legislature’s lawyers. Hickenlooper is seeking a formal opinion from the attorney general. Sen. Tim Neville, a Republican from south Jefferson County, said Hickenlooper ignored increasing Medicaid spending that many Republicans blame for the financial state. “Unless he solves the Medicaid issue, everything else seems to be pretty moot,” Neville said. Hickenlooper also focused on economic development, affordable housing and the environment. He announced the creation of a National Cybersecurity Intelligence Center in Colorado Springs — a venture with the University of Colorado that would focus on cybersecurity for businesses. The governor wants Colorado to loosen liability rules on builders and developers as a way to create more affordable housing and called for extending a tax credit for those building low-income housing. The so-called construction defects legislation has stalled in the Legislature in recent years. Some Demo-
crats say it could hurt consumers and probably wouldn’t lead developers to build cheaper condos. Hickenlooper also said Colorado is putting together a list of contaminated abandoned mines. Such mines have been a fresh priority since August, when 3 million gallons of toxic wastewater spilled from the Gold King Mine north of Silverton. A federal crew accidentally triggered the leak, tainting rivers in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. The governor said he favors federal “Good Samaritan” legislation to encourage companies and nonprofits to clean up abandoned mines by protecting them from liability for environmental accidents. Associated Press writer Kristen Wyatt contributed to this report.

Helpful hints to land first job Toyour advertise Gain some relevant experience. While college is the best time to gain some experience that’s relevant to your field, that does not mean you can’t still earn an internship now that you have donned your cap and gown and received your diploma. Many businesses look to recent graduates to fill their internships, as recent grads have years of study under their belts and, because they are no longer enrolled in classes, more flexibility than current students. If the job market in your chosen field is tepid, start looking for internships. These can be a great way to start making some professional contacts, and many people find themselves ultimately working full-time for the company where they first landed an internship.

State Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, House District 3: “The governor was bold. He unflinchingly spelled out the severe fiscal problem we face in Colorado, but also offered a very practical solution. Conflicting provisions in our Constitution prevent us from adequately funding our schools and transportation infrastructure, and Gov. Hickenlooper’s sensible, straightforward solution — the re-categorization of the hospital provider fee — involves no new taxes or fees. I hope the Legislature will have the courage to implement it this year.”

Mad world requires hope, calm approach Do you remember the Billy Joel song “We Didn’t Start the Fire?” Billy Joel takes us musically through a history lesson as he shares everything from Harry Truman to heavy metal, the cola wars and everything in between including Woodstock, punk rock, Watergate, AIDS, crack, terror on the airlines, etc., etc. The chorus goes like this: “We didn’t start the fire, It was always burning, Since the world’s been turning, We didn’t start the fire, No we didn’t light it, But we tried to fight it.” As I have overheard many times over the past several months, “The world has gone mad.” I have even caught myself thinking it or saying it as I watch or read the news. I mean, Billy Joel could probably rewrite the lyrics to the song to include everything from ISIL/ISIS, the three-ring circus of a presidential race, ebbs and flows of social media opinions, rants, debates, immigration, ranchers taking over federal buildings, drug addictions at epidemic proportions, celebrity breakups and connections, weekly professional athlete antics and arrests, and the list goes on and on. Have you found yourself thinking it or saying it, “The world has gone mad?” If so, just remember, “We didn’t start the fire, It
was always burning, Since the world’s been turning, We didn’t start the fire, No we didn’t light it, But we tried to fight it.” There are so many things we can do to “fight it,” many things we can do locally and that may have Michael Norton an impact globally. Those ideas are for WINNING another column or WORDS email exchange as right now the focus of this column is on what we can do for ourselves when we find ourselves reeling from the feeling of the world going mad. Or better yet, going, going, going, gone mad. First we should try and remember that, “It was always burning, Since the world’s been turning.” And generation after generation has survived most of it. Secondly, we need to stay true to our belief system and not get caught up in the attempts at influence of others where it conflicts with our belief system. And lastly, at least for today, we need to live with hope. Not false
hope, or empty promises of hope and change, but the kind of hope that fuels our everyday attitudes, the kind of hope that drives encouragement to make changes or to be a difference maker, and the hope that the next thing we hear and see on the news will be one thing we can build upon in our own personal lives and for our families. We didn’t start the fire, but somebody did. It has been burning since the world’s been turning, and it will always be burning in some way. No, we didn’t light it, not most of us anyway, the majority of the world is still good. But we do try and fight it, and we do that through a commitment to our belief systems, positive actions, and by living with hope. How about you? How are you dealing with a world that has gone mad? Are you caught up in the madness or are you a believer of hope? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we stay committed to our belief system, action, and hope, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Goodbye, David Bowie; hello again, mortality David Bowie died. He died a couple of days after turning 69. We were both born in the same year. I just looked at the calendar and wondered where those numbers came from. Two thousand sixteen. What goes along with it, are my own numbers. Bowie was so hot in the ’70s that there were lotteries for his concert tickets. My favorite Bowie song is “China Girl,” which he cowrote with Iggy Pop. Craig Marshall Smith Pop was in love with a VietQUIET girl at DESPERATION namese the time. Pop was raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and attended Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor. We would have been schoolmates, if my family had stayed in Ann Arbor. Pop and I were born in the same year too. We have lived very different lives. I was 55 when I retired, and wondered what I was going to do every day. I wondered if I would have enough to do, or if I would wind up not doing very much of anything. It’s not like that. I have never been more productive in my life. I have a much better outlook. Being a schoolteacher at a school where accountability was all over us was wearing me down. And so were the students. More and more of them were being accepted who didn’t belong in college. I was on the Internet today at 4 a.m., and there was the Bowie story. Good morning, Craig. “The calendar on your wall is ticking

Social Security rule change coming soon Patricia Kummer
FINANCIAL STRATEGIES
Congress recently approved a budget deal that eliminates two popular Social Security claiming strategies for married couples. Planners have recommended for years that couples take advantage of claiming first under spousal benefits and delaying their own, earning Delayed Retirement Credits. This would allow the benefit to grow until they collect at a later age. This was popular for couples who were similar in age but at least one planned on working
to full-retirement age (FRA) and possibly longer. There are only a few months before the April 30 deadline to determine if you are still eligible to claim under the Restricted Application or the File and Suspend. Typical of a government agency, you need a primer to understand the options. Here are the basic strategies using our sample couple, John, age 65, married to Mary, age 62. Both will be FRA at 66.

• Mary can collect a reduced benefit at age 62 if she is not working and earning more than $15,720 per year. However, her benefit will be reduced indefinitely. • If Mary turned age 62 prior to Dec. 31, 2015, and John turns 66 prior to April 30, 2016, then John can File and Suspend (and keep working) so Mary can file a Restricted Application, restricting her benefit to half of John’s. This will allow Mary’s benefit to accrue to a higher value when she is older. She can file at any time just as long as she was 62 before the turn of the year. • John, however, can only File and Suspend for the purposes of Mary collecting a spousal benefit by April 30.

the days off (The The).” And then on one of my playlists I heard “My Back Pages.” I guess someone wants me to think about mortality today. “I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.” I can vividly remember 15, 16, 17 and 18. But 41, 42, 43 and 44? No idea. I know I was a schoolteacher, that’s
The department of education is working with the College Board, the ACT and school districts to ensure long-term data isn’t lost, said Dana Smith, interim communications director for the CDE. Smith also said that while cost was a factor in the decision to make the
switch, it wasn’t the main reason for the move. The switch better fits the Colorado Academic Standards — the expectations of what students need to know and be able to do at the end of each grade — and what students are expected to know in the age of 21st-
century education. “The committee’s reasoning was in reaction to a desire to streamline state assessments,” said Dana Smith, interim communications director for the CDE. “It’s one small part of the overall solution to reduce testing.”
This is part of the 180-day grandfather rule that started when Congress passed the law on Oct. 30, 2015. • At age 70 John can collect his maximum Delayed Retirement Credits, which will accrue at 8 percent per year up to age 70. • Mary can turn on her own benefit anytime between age 66 and 70, and collect her Delayed Retirement Credits that were accruing while she was collecting half of John’s benefit. This works best if John continues working and contributing to his Social Security amount. • The File and Suspend in order for your spouse to file a Restricted Application is expiring. If the wage earner is not age 66 by April 30, and if the spouse was not at least age 62 prior to the end of 2015, then these strategies are no longer available. Keep in mind there are still many tax and income strategies you can plan
for around when and who should collect Social Security and at what ages. Unfortunately, the ability to double-dip, such as collecting a spousal benefit while your own accrues, will no longer be available. There are still good planning techniques associated with spouses purposely collecting at different ages. One benefit is when the highest wage earner delays collecting until age 70. This creates the highest possible benefit for the wage earner or the surviving spouse. Non-working spouses are still eligible to collect under their working spouse’s benefit, but the option to collect under a Restricted Spousal benefit and accrue higher benefits under your own wages is expiring this April. It is important to plan your retirement strategies well, including IRA distributions and other taxable income, as well as calculating the optimum age
for collecting Social Security benefits. Some couples may also be impacted by pension plans, Government Offset Provisions, and Public Employee Retiree Account (PERA) offsets. Therefore, meeting with your advisor well in advance of retirement gives you the best planning ideas to enhance your overall retirement.
about it. Keeping a grade book, hiring parttime instructors and feeling sorry for them. They had no benefits. The school had benefits because they were far less expensive than I was. I planned to retire in 2003. One morning I opened an email from the school president. She said she would give me a satchel of money to leave, ostensibly to replace me with less expensive employees. Who wouldn’t have my benefits. There has to be a moment when the mirror tells you the truth. Mine has been telling it for a few years now. And then I’ll read about a death, and a
piece of me goes with him. I have squandered some of my life. Maybe I was supposed to. It’s given me gratitude. That’s a strange word. It sounds like it belongs in an AA meeting. I should know. The only Bowie song I own is “China Girl.” His death won’t affect me like the evening I heard from an unlikely source that John Lennon was dead. Or the day that I read that Phil Everly, 74, had died. Woody Allen used to say that his one regret in life was that he wasn’t someone
else. My one regret — well, I have had more than one — is that I wasn’t one of the Everly Brothers. They came out of my very first transistor radio. A little Toshiba gem. Bowie was too weird for me at first. Later on, he became very elegant, like Bryan Ferry, only more androgynous. May you rest in peace, David. And thank you.

More than treatment Craig Hospital offers patients and their families housing, assistance and support Yurik Resetnikov, left, his wife, Lindsey, and their daughter Kona talk about the day’s activities in the apartment where the family lives while Resetnikov undergoes treatment for a traumatic spine injury at Craig Hospital. The Craig program also provides families with counseling and other assistance while loved ones undergo treatment. By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

urik Resetnikov and his family didn’t know anyone when they arrived at Craig Hospital from Hawaii in early November. But that changed immediately. “The first hour we got to Craig blew my mind,” said Resetnikov, 40, a firefighter now in a wheelchair with limited use of his arms and legs after a body surfing accident in October. “This place is amazing, and it was unbelievable the way everyone took us in and made us feel welcome. I felt like everyone here was taking care of a family member.” And that’s exactly what Craig staff hope their patients feel because treating the body is just one part of the rehabilitation process. Caring for the spirit of the patient and the family is just as important. “When a loved one suffers a traumatic spinal cord or brain injury it also has a major impact on the lives of the family members,” said Stephanie Percival, director of clinical care management. And individuals of all ages and backgrounds, along with their families, come from throughout the world to Englewood’s Craig, which treats patients with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. While Resetnikov is in the hospital, his wife, Lindsey, and daughters Mehana, 10, and Kona, 13, are living in Craig’s family housing facility. “Almost as soon as they showed us to our apart-
ABOUT THE FAMILY HOUSING Craig Hospital covers the cost of families staying in the 47 apartments for 30 days. After that, they can find other accommodations or remain in the facility and pay a small fee based on the family’s ability to pay or, in some cases, the Craig Foundation pays the cost of a family’s extended stay. Kenny Hosack, director of marketing and public relations for Craig, said some other area hospitals do have arrangements for family housing, such as the Ronald McDonald Houses in Denver and Aurora. But he said he knows of no area hospitals with the extensive support and assistance programs for families that Craig has.
Craig founded in 1907 Focus shifted to treating brain, spinal cord injuries By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Craig Hospital traces its roots to 1907, when Frank Craig established a treatment “camp” to work with indigent men suffering from tuberculosis. The facility changed and the mission continued for 50 years when, with the decline of cases of tuberculosis, Craig Medical Director Ed Young intensified the hospital’s focus of treating patients with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. Kenny Hosack has been with Craig for more than 40 years and he said treatment of patients has always been a focus, but the program grew to also assist families because of Dr. Scott Manley. “Dr. Manley saw the impact of traumatic brain or spinal cord injury to a loved one had on the family. He wanted to help the families and, in 1968, he created the family services department which added a master lever counselor for the patient and the family to the treatment team,” the director of marketing and public relations said. “The family service department expanded over the years and now is the critical care management department.” Craig treats about 520 patients a year and family members accompany the majority of those patients. The hospital also provides treatment for about 1,400 outpatients a year. Stephanie Percival, director of the critical care management department, said the focus is assisting family members while the patient is undergoing treatment. “Our team does a thorough assessment for each patient to determine what he or she needs while here at Craig and at home,” she said. “We also (help) the family deal with challenges ranging from finding a handicapped accessible place to live, to dealing with insurance companies to helping find resources to assist them as they adjust to a new way of life.”
ment, other families came to meet us and offer to do anything they could to help us,” Lindsey said. “It was pretty amazing and very special for all of us.” Mehana agreed. “We came from the sands of Hawaii to the snows
of Colorado,” she said with a smile. “Everyone was so nice. For example, all we had was summer clothes when we got here and the folks here at the hospital Craig continues on Page 13

A guide to an adventurous musical year There’s one pretty obvious reason why New Year’s resolutions fall by the wayside so quickly — they require work. And work is hard. More often than not, fulfilling resolutions requires venturing out of one’s comfort zone or breaking an accustomed routine to try something that may fail. Clarke Reader So, to help you feel like you’ve acLINER complished someNOTES thing this year, here are some musical New Year’s resolutions that are lowimpact, but can help open up your ears to new sonic landscapes. Try a different era of music There’s no era in which all its music was great all the time. That notion is one of those tricks of memory that make everything seem better in hindsight. Ignore the tendency to stay in something familiar. Instead, investigate music several decades removed from your favorite. For young people, give a spin to music that was big when your parents were in high school. Avoid the obvious stuff — Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, etc. Depending on when your parents were born, this window into their worlds could lead to some truly spectacular music. In my case, it’s Traffic, Cream and Linda Ronstadt, to name just a few. For adults, investigate the music of the past five years. Music has become more

got us some coats and winter things.” Support also came from outside Craig. After learning a fellow firefighter was a patient at Craig, crews at the Jefferson Fire Station in Englewood have scheduled weekly visits. The crew also hosted the family at the fire station for Christmas dinner. Resetnikov’s accident occurred in October. “I caught a good wave and hit the bottom as you always do body surfing,” he said. “I tried to get up, couldn’t move and I knew something bad had happened.” Friends pulled him from the water. He wasn’t breathing and had no pulse. Several people administered CPR for about 20 minutes until the ambulance arrived.

interesting and diverse in the past decade, despite what the blandness of radio would lead you to believe. Genres like grime, chillwave and trap hop are just a few expanding areas to explore. Listen to more rap What folk and soul music were during the tumultuous 1960s, rap is to contemporary times. There is no genre more reflective of society’s challenges and opportunities, and the inequality and disenfranchisement still facing so many citizens. Hip-hop’s ability to convey so many messages isn’t new — the social aspect of the music has been front and center since N.W.A and Public Enemy broke through in the late ’80s. But hip-hop artists today have made better use of the Internet than any other genre’s musicians. The online mixtape scene is vibrant and fascinating. It allows new talents to hone their skills, and
Resetnikov arrived Nov. 4 and expects to be at Craig until February. Back home on the big island of Hawaii, extended family members are working to make his home wheelchair-accessible. But before he returns, he and his family will transition to a larger apartment at the Craig facility. The family’s current living facility is like a small apartment with sleeping quarters, a living space and a kitchen. When Yurik joins the family, they will move into a family suite in an adjacent building. The family suite is described as similar to a large hospital room with an adjacent living room and a few cooking facilities. There, with hands-on training sessions, they can learn the skills they will need as a family to support Resetnikov. Each patient at Craig has a treatment team of 10 to 12 people that includes staff members in a variety

lets old hands enter the ring when they feel like it. By making so much music free, these artists aren’t beholden to any labels or marketing strategies, which allows complete creativity and lyrical honesty. That’s how you get artists like Kendrick Lamar, who made last year’s best and most political album, and Chance The Rapper, who is tackling Chicago’s myriad problems with exuberance and positivity. There’s also Run the Jewels, the duo of EL-P and Killer Mike that combines activism and earthshaking beats. To hear our society in a microcosm, rap is the place to go. Go to more shows at small venues It sounds counterintuitive to encourage people to attend small shows in Colorado when we have Red Rocks. But dealing with crowds and traffic can be a pain, and the famous venue seems to continually grow
more expensive. Instead, this year visit the area’s great smaller venues, from the Bluebird, Gothic and Ogden (all in Denver) to the Fox and Boulder theaters in Boulder. Don’t forget the Buffalo Rose in Golden and Grizzly Rose in Denver. The cost is almost always cheaper, and even the rowdiest show provides an intimacy and immediacy that is lost in those big places. Most of my favorite concerts have been in small venues. And I wish you the same experiences this year. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he just pressed play on some great rap music. Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com.

Family, fun part of treatment sessions By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com When possible, Yurik Resetnikov’s wife, Lindsey, and daughters, Mehana and Kona, join him during treatment sessions. “When I go to water therapy in the pool, Lindsey is usually there with me and, if she can’t make it, Kona joins me,” he said. “It is great to have them there with me during treatment. It encourages me to keep working at it.” A recent recreational therapy session included a pool table, a foosball table and assorted games and activities. The purpose of such sessions is to help the patient develop the skills needed to do things he or she did before their injury and to have fun doing it, said Tom Horan, a certified recreational therapist. At this session, Resetnikov and Lindsey decided to play of specialties, Percival said. The team works with the patient and the family. Peer counseling sessions with current or former patients and their families also take place. “The focus is helping everyone understand the challenges they are facing
and ways to deal with those challenges,” Percival said. The team also provides the patient all the equipment and materials he or she will need when they leave the hospital. “We feel they are still our patients when they leave us so we to con-
pool. Resetnikov said he was pretty good before his injury. Horan worked with him, providing aids like a bridge to help him control the cue stick to hit the ball and send it where he wanted to go. Their daughters joined them, learning for the first time how to handle a pool cue. “We have fun doing things like this,” Kona said. As the girls were learning about pool, Resetnikov made a new friend, Jake Mutschler, also in a wheelchair. The two men talked about their experiences and shared information. Mutschler told Resetnikov about an attachment to his wheelchair that enabled him to have water with him all the time. “Talking together like this is helpful to both of us,” said Mutschler, a Boulder resident. “We hear about equipment or things that will help us that we may not know existed. It is great information and it is coming from someone who is experiencing the same challenges we are experiencing.” Craig has done. “So many people have worked with us, helping us learn so much that we will need to know when we get home,” Yurik Resetnikov said. “We don’t know what we would have done had we not been treated here at Craig.”

When one enters the Aurora Fox Studio Theater, one is immediately charmed by a stair-stepped floor and wall filled with exotic fabrics, silky brocaded cushions, Oriental rugs, lengths of fabric draped and hung. Charles Dean Packard, executive director of the Aurora Fox, is one of the area’s most talented set designers, and he’s at the top of his game here. Soft Eastern music plays in the background throughout the evening. One is in the mood for exotic fare before the production of Mary Zimmerman’s “Arabian Nights” begins. Packard greeted the audience, speaking of “authentic pillows, rugs and fabrics, tales from near and far — and actors from everywhere.” A dozen multiracial actors appear onstage and the rich, colorful look is upgraded another leap by their costumes and movement. Lanterns hang from the ceiling. Enter King Shahyar (Abner Genece), who killed his unfaithful wife and has worked into a pattern of having a new bride each night — and murdering her in the morning. A night comes when there are no more available women, except for Scheherezade (Lilly Hokama), daughter
of his chief aide (Sam Gilstrap), who reluctantly brings her to the king. She says she will tell stories that will make him want more — and we are off on the 1,001 nights, because she is right. He wants to know what happens and becomes enlightened. An ensemble of 12 plays more than 60 roles as the inventive storyteller continues, for instance with a tale of people inventing imaginary stuff to pull out of a bag; or of an unfaithful wife who hides her extra men in the privy as others appear. There’s a tale about a very learned woman, who can answer anything assorted smart men ask — demanding their coats when she does. She sums up the history of Islam in her scenes. After a supposed 500 nights, it’s time for intermission, as the music plays on. As readers will recall, at the end of 1,001 nights, the king is bedazzled by this inventive woman and lets her live as his queen — “happily ever after!” This is a truly bewitching production, suitable for all but the youngest family members. There were a few places where it was hard to hear the actors speak. Presumably, director Sheila Ivy Traister will spot those issues and fix them. The show is so visually pleasing that one can forgive a few missed words. Traister, who is convinced of the power of storytelling, is skillful in her first full play as a director — we will look forward to more.

Sci-fi novel rooted in childhood tale Hope for humanity lies behind intense story of alien empire By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “I wanted to turn convention on its head and tell a story of a character who could definitely be a villain, but definitely isn’t. Basically a dark story rooted in hope rather than the apocalypse … It’s dark, it’s intense, it’s grim, but the world behind the story is one rooted in hope for humanity’s very near future on earth.” Mason Torall says he always wanted to tell stories, and his novel “The Dark Element” is born out of a story he came up with in sixth grade. “Originally I thought that meant Hollywood blockbusters, but after failing miserably at film school for college, I realized that the written word felt more intimate and much more my style.” “The Dark Element” is available through Amazon. Torall lived in the Littleton area near Columbine until 1998, “when we moved east of Parker so we could have horses and a dog boarding kennel.” His parents divorced soon after the move and “teen years were messy (whose isn’t, though).” He credits his schooling with giving his writing a boost. He attended the nontraditional Rocky Mountain Expeditionary School in south Denver for high school, “where they teach that rote memorization isn’t learning and learning to think and be curious is more important than winning …” A bit of a synopsis: “Unity took us to the stars. The stars brought aliens to earth. Our trust cost us everything … A hungry alien empire called ‘The Collective’ has betrayed humanity, Earth is taken. Day by day the
The cover of “The Dark Element” by Mason Torall. Courtesy photo ruthless Overseer harvests the planet we worked so hard to save and only a group of individuals have found any success against him. The Elementals. Damien Vilan is one of those human enigmas …” By day, the 25-year-old writer works as a pharmacy tech for Kaiser and writes when he can. He moved home to Parker and ran his own Kickstarter, started in 2014, to fund publication of “The Dark Element,” which is down to limited copies now. He originally saw it as the first of a five-part sci-fi epic and is a workaholic, he says. He cherishes living alone and looks forward to days of nonstop writing at some future point. Other interests: Denver’s craft beer scene, “and I’m a committed nerd with ‘Star Wars’ tabletop games. I’m slowly returning to the hiker’s life that we Coloradans consider a prerequisite to living here (as it should be).” He has a signing scheduled for 1 to 4 p.m. Jan. 23 at Dry Dock Brewing Company South Dock, Hampden Villa, 15120 E. Hampden Ave., Aurora. (Bring a book if you have one — copies are limited, he says.) Watch for episode 2!

Bruins remain unbeaten on the ice Cherry Creek raises record to 10-0 with win over Standley Lake By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Standley Lake scored the first goal, but Cherry Creek scored all the remaining goals Jan. 15 as the Bruins used their depth and speed to post an 8-1 league victory over the Gators. “We are a young team with only four seniors on the roster, but we played a 30-game fall schedule that prepared our teams for this season,” Bruins coach Jeff Mielnicki said. “It was a good game tonight. There is great chemistry on this team, and you don’t always see that on a team. It is a big plus for us.” Key moments Standley Lake scored midway through the first quarter, but the Bruins responded with two goals in the final three minutes to take the lead for good. The Gators didn’t have a lot of depth, and the drain of keeping pace with the speedy Bruins skaters showed up later in the game as Cherry Creek scored three goals in the second period and three goals in the third period. Key players/statistics The Bruins spread the scoring around as they put 41 shots on goal. Samuel Harris was the scoring leader with two goals and two assists while teammate Joe LoSasso had a goal and was the assist leader with three. The other Bruins goals were scored by James Stokes, Daniel Taggart, Jacob Harding, Conor Heathershaw and Neal Sklar. They said it Harris said it seemed to him the Bruins came out a little flat. “I played pretty well tonight, and since it was a conference team, we had to come out and get it done,” he said. “It has been a pretty good season for me so far. I have scored some goals and helped my teammates score some goals. I feel my confidence handling the puck and passing it to my team-

mates has improved the most since last season. I haven’t set any personal goals. As a captain, I just want to keep learning how to be a team leader even though I am only a junior.” Going forward The win over Standley Lake raised Cherry Creek’s record to 10-0 overall and to 7-0 in the conference. The Bruins, Regis, Monarch and Ralston Valley all have undefeated conference records. Cherry Creek will face off against Regis Jan. 22 at Family Sports Center in the battle for first place. The Bruins will be at the same location Jan. 23 against Castle View.
Pregnancy doesn’t slow down coach Valor Christian girls basketball coach Jessika Caldwell likes to be hands-on and very demonstrative during practice. That didn’t change while she was pregnant. With the baby due in just days, Caldwell was still out on the court demonstrating moves — and some of her players were a little worried. “There were definitely some times when we wanted her to calm down because she is so passionate and loves the game,” said Valor senior Heidi Hammond. Caldwell, whose son Boden was born Jan. 5, said she just “kind of made it work.” “This was my third go around,” she said. “The girls probably got a little more nervous than I did. I was out there showing them what to do, and they were like, ‘Eek.’” Caldwell missed Valor’s game Jan. 6 against Wheat Ridge but was back guiding the Eagles Jan. 8 against Golden. She has two other children, Emersyn and Bryce. “She was confident and got back on the floor so quick, it was incredible,” Hammond said. “We love having her back.” Green Mountain grad a college standout Green Mountain graduate Ryan
Stephan is having a stellar season for Colorado Mesa’s basketball team. The 6-foot-10, 250-pound senior ranked among the top 25 in nine different NCAA Division II statistics before last weekend’s games. He Jim Benton led the nation with 10 and OVERTIME double-doubles picked up his 11th on Jan. 16 against Adams State. He was second in defensive rebounds with 8.8 per game, fourth with 122 free throws made and fifth with a 25.3 scoring average. Top girls swimming times According to the Jan. 13 report compiled by PrepSwimCo.com, Valor Christian senior Brooke Stenstrom has the best Class 4A times in three events. The defending Class 4A 50-yard freestyle state champion swam a time of 23.54 seconds in that event and a 51.81 in the 100 freestyle. She, her sister Lindsay, Madison Hoehn and Abbey Owenby have the top 4A time of 3:32.19 in the 400 free-
style relay, a school record. Owenby, a sophomore, is the fastest in the 4A 500 freestyle with a 5:01.48 clocking. Rock Canyon senior Abigail Kochevar, two-time defending 100-yard backstroke champion, has the best Class 5A times of 54.74 in the 100 backstroke and 23.79 in the 50 freestyle. Heritage sophomore Kylie Andrews’ time of 51.78 is the best among 5A swimmers in the 100 freestyle. McCaffrey, Pugh to be honored Christian McCaffrey and Mallory Pugh will be honored during the April 19 Colorado Sports Hall of Fame induction and awards banquet at the Denver Marriott City Center. McCaffrey, the former Valor Christian athlete, is the Amateur Athlete of the Year for the 2015 calendar year. He is a sophomore running back for Stanford and was named the Associated Press Player of the Year. He was the Heisman Trophy runnerup after setting an NCAA record with 3,864 all-purpose yards. Pugh, a senior at Mountain Vista, is the girls High School Athlete of the Year. Pugh was tabbed as the Gatorade Colorado Girls Soccer Player of the Year and the National Player of the Year. She is a member
of the United States U20 national team. From gymnastics to diving It seems like more and more divers are former gymnasts who have switched to the water. Douglas County junior Lexie Barker, who competes for the Douglas County/ Castle View team, is a new diver who won the event at the Smoky Hill Invitational with 462 points. She liked gymnastics, but injuries took their toll. “I’ve been diving a little over a year,” she said. “I was a gymnast for nine years and I had like seven stress fractures in my back, so I had to retire. My parents told me to try diving, and I kind of fell in love with it.” Ralston Valley’s Neal leads the way After the completion of games on Jan. 16, Ralston Valley’s Cody Neal was the state’s leading scorer in hockey. He has 32 points on 18 goals and 14 assists. He has three power-play and two short-handed goals. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Littleton girls unable to overcome Golden Lions try to battle back, but eventually fall 56-29

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton faced a difficult challenge from the start as Golden scored the first 11 points of the Jan. 16 league girls basketball game, and the Lions weren’t able to overcome the lead, eventually losing 56-29. “We knew it would be tough going into the game against a good Golden team,” Littleton coach Adam Williams said after the game. “We are a young team, and we know what our limitations are. We don’t have a lot of experience, and we are still struggling to believe we can make our shots.” Key moments Golden scored the first 11 points of the game, but Littleton didn’t quit. The Lions cut into the lead and trailed 11-4 at the end of the first quarter, but they were never able to get closer. Littleton played aggressive defense and gave up few easy baskets. When they had the ball the Lions took good shots, but they saw the shots carom off the hoop or roll around the basket and fall out. Golden’s offense was most effective in the final quarter as they outscored the Lions 21-5. Key players/statistics Rebekah Sandstrom was the leading scorer for the Lions with nine points. Maddie Fuchs scored seven points while teammates Katie Puchino and Brittany Line had four points each. Puchino is the leading scorer for the first 12 games with 115 points, which include a team-leading 18 baskets from three-point range. She also leads the team in steals with 29 and assists with 24.
Sandstrom is the second-leading scorer with 55 points in nine games, plus she leads the team in blocked shots with 11. They said it The coach said this is a young team with only two seniors on the roster. “We are actually playing pretty well,” he said. “We are playing good defense and we are taking good shots, but we are still struggling to believe those shots will fall. The team is young and often they rush the shots a bit, but that is something that can be corrected.” He said the future is very bright, but he is trying to push the group to accelerate the process a little.
Puchino plays basketball and soccer for the Lions, and she said basketball helps her be a better soccer player. “It helps me with quickness, getting to the ball and working together as a team,” the sophomore said. “I think I am better at defense than I am at offense because of my quickness, and it comes easier to me.” Going forward After the game with Golden, the Lions’ record is 5-7 overall and 1-3 in league. The coach said his team should be competitive in the next few games, including the Jan. 22 game at Green Mountain and the Jan. 26 home game against Arvada.

If so, look to straighten the situation out once and for all. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Although the Lion might see it as an act of loyalty and courage to hold on to an increasingly shaky position, it might be wiser to make changes now to prevent a possible meltdown later.
