EGGS SCRAMBLED FOR PRIZES
Board OKs releasing of records Parents of slain Arapahoe High student agree not to sue, will make all findings public By Jennifer Smith

Ella LaPorte, 6, of Lone Tree looks as lovely as spring as she gathers eggs at the 5th Annual Great Egg Scramble, held at the South Suburban Sports Dome in Centennial. Broken into age groups, egg hunters raced to collect as many empty eggs as possible, for which they could exchange for candy, gifts and other prizes. Local eggsperts arrived with baskets, bags and boxes — even Halloween pumpkins — all eggcited for one of the city’s biggest youth eggspeditions, the Annual Great Egg Scramble on April 4. Hosted by South Suburban Parks and Recreation, and sponsored by the City of Centennial, the yearly indoor egg hunt at the Sports Dome attracts more than 850 kids, all vying for 2,000 empty plastic eggs, which could be exchanged for candy, gifts and prizes. Top prizes included gift certificates from local merchants and authentic Colorado Avalanche gear. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon was on hand, as well as the Easter Bunny, a local radio station mascot and the South Suburban Fitness Van. Now in its fifth year, the Great Egg Scramble has become a local — and weatherproof — favorite.

The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education has unanimously voted to give Claire Davis’ family all the information it can about the circumstances surrounding the death of the Arapahoe High School student. “This will be the next of many steps already taken in the last 15 months to examine and improve processes and procedures,” said Jack Reutzel, board president. “We have already implemented changes in the district as a result of the tragedy, and we continue to want to learn how the district can make meaningful and thoughtful improvements for the benefit of all students.” While the Davis family was not in attendance at the April 2 board meeting, they offered a quote for the official LPS statement. “We’ve developed a process that meets our shared goal of making schools safer,” said Michael Davis, Claire’s father. “We very Claire Davis much appreciate LPS’ willingness to partner with us.” In a separate statement issued through their spokesperson, Katy Atkinson, the family reiterated support for two bills pending in the state Legislature that could soon be heard on the floor. The first provides a narrow definition of the circumstances in which a suit can be brought against a school for breaching its responsibility to keep students safe, and sets a cap on the damages that can be recovered. The second would create a permanent committee on school safety and mental health and charge it with examining ways to improve how schools and the mental-health system deal with troubled youths. “Without the full picture, no one can adequately address the underlying problems that could lead to yet another tragedy like this,” reads the family’s statement. As part of the agreement, the Davises agree not to sue the district and waive their

Online school bows out after leading way Jones International University, based in Centennial, has been hit with declining enrollment By Chris Rotar
crotar@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gwen Lane had just put the exclamation mark on her master’s degree when she got the news early last week. “I finished my last class (March 28), and I was like ‘oh my gosh, don’t tell me the last two years were for nothing,’” she said in a phone interview from her home in Chesapeake, Virginia. Lane learned her school would soon be closing. Centennial-based Jones International University is winding down operations, a decision
communicated to its roughly 2,000 students March 31. The process is expected to be finished in early 2016. The online, for-profit school that offers degrees in business and education has seen an enrollment decline of more than 55 percent since 2011, a spokeswoman said. The move could mean 90 or more lost jobs at the Jones International Ltd. headquarters near Interstate 25 and Dry Creek Road. “During the past year, JIU’s Board of Trustees and leadership have closely examined our business and operations and have explored every opportunity to continue to effectively support our students by delivering the highest-quality online education,” Bryan Wallace, the school’s chief operating officer, said in an emailed statement. “However, due to market pressures and operational considerations, we have come to the difficult decision that it is
time to close Jones International University.” JIU was founded in 1993 — staking claim to being the first university to exist fully online — by cable magnate Glenn R. Jones. It launched its first courses in 1995 and continued to add programs through the years. It received regional accreditation in 1999. Students are increasingly embracing online learning, and the number of institutions offering it, including public schools, has been climbing since the early 2000s. A study released in 2013 by the Babson Survey Research Group found the number of college and university students taking at least one online course grew from 1.6 million in 2002 to 6.7 million in 2011. So while JIU was a pioneer in online education, it has been confronted in recent years with stiff competition. Jones continues on Page 9

What it takes to move a bookstore Tattered Cover relocates from Highlands Ranch to Littleton

Tattered Cover employees spent all day April 2 and 3 moving the store’s merchandise from the Highlands Ranch location at Town Center to the new location in Littleton at Aspen Grove. The new location opened April 4. People worked in teams of two or three and relied on the “seasoned booksellers” to arrange the books, said book-buyer for the travel section Rodney Shuff. “It was a lot of hard work,” said floor manager Erica Bates, but added everybody was “looking forward to the new beginning.” The bookstore carries too many books to get an exact count of how many were packed, said general manager Margaret Shaheen, but here are the rest of the numbers: 1,652 boxes of books and other merchandise such as calendars, mugs and bookmarks were packed and unpacked. 210 cases of bookshelves were broken down, then set back up. The Tattered Cover moved at least 80 different genres of books. 58 Tattered Cover employees packed up the Highlands Ranch store. 61 Tattered Cover employees unpacked at the Littleton location. Eight volunteers helped with the packing, and six volunteers helped with unpacking. Employees spent three weeks preparing the Highlands Ranch location for the move. Employees and volunteers spent about three hours packing boxes at the Highlands Ranch location. Employees and volunteers spent about 10 hours setting up the store at the Littleton location: unpacking boxes, shelving books and organizing the store. Three semi-truckloads of boxes went to and from the two locations on April 3. The Tattered Cover truck also made a number of trips.

RTD fare changes draw opposition
Officials hear feedback on latest proposals By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Judging from an April 2 public hearing, residents are turning thumbs down on the current RTD fare change proposals. The meeting in the Englewood Public Library was one of 16 public hearings the Regional Transportation District held to gather comments about the proposed fare changes. RTD says the meetings are intended to help the agency reach the goal of developing a “fair, equitable and cost-effective fare structure.” Doug MacLeod represented RTD and narrated a 20-minute Power— Point presentation District’s service highlighting the area in square fare study proposmiles als to open the meeting. million — The presentaPopulation of the tion showed exservice area amples of the proposal.

Mary Grushka details her objections to the proposed RTD fare changes during the April 2 public hearing on the issue held in Englewood. The Englewood meeting was one of 16 public hearing held on the proposal to change the structure and increase fares. Photos by Tom Munds opposed the fare proposals that would increase the cost of using public transportation. Tom Grushka was one of the residents speaking in opposition to the new fares. “The fare increases don’t make sense,” the Highlands Ranch resident said and he had his wife hold up a chart. “This chart shows RTD has increased fares 29 percent in the last few years. That is three or four time the rate of inflation.” His wife, Mary, objected to the proposal to double fares for Access-A-Ride. She said the higher fares will burden those who use the service and that public transportation should be affordable for customers of paratransit — transportation services for people with disabilities. Chris Harmon said the service RTD provides concerns him. He said he lives nine miles from work and Google Maps say the trip will take 15 minutes by car, one hour by bike and an hour and 15 minutes by bus. He said making the system attractive so more people use it is the way to keep fares low. Zoe Williams said Englewood residents

depend on public transportation and the proposed fare increases may make RTD rides unaffordable. “A public transit system should provide services for all the people,” the Englewood resident said. “Fares are a burden for low-income individuals and families. I would like to see the 50 percent fares now offered to seniors and handicapped be offered to members of families making less than $35,000 a year.” After the meeting, RTD board representative Jeff Walker said the people’s comments at the Englewood meeting are about the same that have been made at other public hearings. “There is always room for change to any proposal,” said Walker, who is the RTD board representative for the local area. “One issue I have grappled with is replacing transfers with the day pass. Operators don’t like the transfers and the day pass would be easier for them. This is an issue I want to explore.”

Trooper awards come with praise
Ceremony honors state patrol heroics in 2014 By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Proud families and applauding colleagues packed a ceremony dedicated to Colorado State Patrol troopers who put their lives on the line. Hundreds gathered in the Great Hall at the Liniger Building at CU South Denver April 2, with Trooper Jeff Goodwin retelling the incredible stories behind the awards. Bellamann Hee, the trooper who was injured during a highspeed chase that ended near CU South Denver’s doorstep in March 2014, was given the Purple Heart Award, an honor given to troopers who are seriously injured, wounded or killed while performing basic law enforcement functions. Hee thanked his supporters and a fleet of angels he says were watching over him that day, including his late father. Hee revealed that he will return to active duty in three to four months. Eugene Hofacker, a trooper wounded by gunfire during a traffic stop on I-70, nearly died from his injuries. He was struck in the femoral artery by a bullet, and his fellow troopers were commended with Life Savings Awards for their actions after Hofacker was injured. His arm was still in a cast when he accepted the Purple Heart Award.

Intoxication can’t be used as defense Chase suspect faces trial in Douglas County By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Ryan Stone cannot use voluntary intoxication as a defense in his upcoming trial, a Douglas County judge ruled during an April 2 hearing. Defense attorneys had suggested the 29-year-old Centennial man suffered a methamphetamine-induced psychosis that influenced his actions last year during a multicounty, multi-vehicle flight from Longmont to Douglas County. But Judge Paul King agreed with a prosecuting attorney’s motion to strike voluntary intoxication as a defense. Stone’s jury trial is scheduled from April 21 to May 1 in Douglas County District Court. He has pleaded not guilty to multiple counts that include kidnapping and vehicular assault. During the March 12, 2014 morning rush hour, Stone allegedly stole multiple vehicles throughout the metro area — including one in Longmont with a 4-year-old child inside — and eluded police for 75 miles before crashing on Lincoln Avenue just west of Parker’s town limits. During his flight, he struck and injured a Colorado State Patrol trooper. The chase was broadcast live on television by an 850 KOA news helicopter. A toxicology test showed Stone tested posi-
tive for methamphetamine, marijuana and Lorazepam. Lorazepam typically is used to treat anxiety. Prosecuting attorney Jason Sears moved to strike the use of voluntary intoxication as a defense. Among other reasons, he said such a defense suggests a mental condition that would require a court-ordered evaluation and further delay the case. Stone He also noted that the use of selfinduced intoxication as a defense is limited under the law to certain types of crime. Only one of 26 charges levied against Stone — theft — meets the definition for which such a defense could be used. “This is a very convoluted area of the law, when you start bleeding intoxication into mental condition,” Sears said. Both attorneys agreed to dismiss the misdemeanor theft charge, which King said eliminated the potential use of voluntary intoxication as a defense. Two additional hearings to review the jury questionnaire were set for April 9 and 16. Stone now faces a total of 25 charges, including one count of attempted first-degree homicide for allegedly trying to strike Trooper Bellaman Hee with a vehicle as he fled. Stone has also been charged with first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, robbery, vehicular eluding, three counts of aggravated car theft, child abuse, vehicular assault, and six counts of leaving the scene of an accident.
Officials spotlight distracted driving By Christy Steadman
csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Data shows there are far too many deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes that involve distracted driving, said Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Sam Cole. In Colorado, about one life is lost every week from a distracted driving crash, he said. “The ultimate goal,” he added, “is zero deaths.” National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April “presents a unique opportunity for people to commit to driving distractionfree,” Cole said. As part of bringing awareness to the dangers of distracted driving this month, CDOT and the Colorado State Patrol have partnered to help ensure traffic safety through additional education and enforcement campaigns. “Driving is serious business,” said Colorado State Patrol chief Col. Scott Hernandez in a media release, “and should be the main focus of every driver when they are behind the wheel.” The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is participating in the campaign from April 6-14, when the department will use “a combination of strategies to crack down on motorists who engage in distracted driving,” states a press release. However, crashes attributed to distracted driving don’t only happen in April, said bureau chief Glenn Thompson. “Upwards of 50 percent of crashes are caused by distracted driving,” he said. “It’s a problem 365 days a year.” Distracted driving can be anything that
takes a person’s attention away from focusing on using the skills required to drive, he said. Skills that all drivers need includes keeping eyes on the road, operating the motor vehicle and paying attention to surroundings such as other traffic, road construction and pedestrians or bicyclists on the roadway. People can be distracted by a number of things — using a cell phone, grooming, using a GPS system, watching a video and even eating or drinking, the Arapahoe County media release states. Cell phone use is “the most troubling” because of the popularity of the devices, Cole said. “Very simple advice,” he said, “is put down the phone. Drive now, use cell phones later.” The No. 1 category of complaints the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office receives from the public is related to traffic, spokesman Ron Hanavan said. In an effort to help ensure the safety of the motoring public, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office’s traffic unit recently implemented its Strategic and Tactical Analysis of Crime and Crashes program, Hanavan said. STACC deputies concentrate on areas that are “notorious for a high incidence of crashes and dangerous drivers,” he said, which allows road patrol officers to apply their time to more immediate patrol duties. Providing the public with resources on traffic safety, education and awareness is something Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock is committed to, he said. “It’s everyone’s responsibility to drive in a safe and prudent manner,” he said. “By doing so, you could be saving the life of your neighbor, family member or even your own.”

Balance key in covering racial issues, say pros Panel of journalists visits Arapahoe Community College By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com In the midst of the racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, in January, there was an explosion at a building that houses an NAACP chapter in Colorado Springs. Early reports were that it might have been domestic terrorism aimed at the civil-rights organization, and the FBI was investigating it as such. Social media erupted with speculation, accusations and name-calling. But the suspect who was arrested turned out to be a man who allegedly had a grudge against the tax-preparer who also has an office in the building. “Social media tends to amplify, or sometimes diminish, what a story may or may not be,” said Joanna Bean, editor of The Gazette, the Colorado Springs-based newspaper that was first to cover the event. “It was tempting to go where the story was not yet.” Bean joined Donna Bryson, former Associated Press foreign correspondent, and Francisco Miraval, Rocky Mountain region correspondent for the Spanish EFE News Agency, to present a panel on covering race relations at Arapahoe Community College on April 2. As it turns out, they agree, discussing
how the media report on racial issues boils down to how they report on anything else. “Stick to the middle and do balanced reporting,” Bean told the students in the audience. “You have to be disciplined about it.” Bryson, author of a book about how racial upheaval led to positive change in South Africa, added that balanced journalism is a critical aspect of democracy. “It’s difficult to resist the urge to become part of the maelstrom of opinion,” said Bryson. “Rumors spread, and that’s when the violence spreads.” Miraval, who began his career in Argentina as the editor of an international religious newspaper, noted that stories about race are often really stories about power. “Often, who’s in control is the real story,” he said. They agree, too, that some of the responsibility lies with the reader to understand the difference between fact and opinion, to seek out sources outside of their comfort zone and to not just settle for the sound bites. “People think, `I’m entitled to know it, but I’m not willing to spend the time to understand these complicated issues,’ ” said Bean. “What’s interesting is that people think journalism is a right that people have, and that it should be free. … They still want what we do, but they don’t want to pay for it. I’m not sure who they think pays for it. It’s expensive to do journalism well.”

Bill organizes study group for body-worn cameras
By Amy Woodward
awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Lawmakers have proposed a slew of bills addressing law enforcement procedures, including the creation of a policy group and grant program for police body-worn cameras. In January, 170 police agencies were surveyed and it was found that 47 of those agencies use body-worn cameras to some degree, according to Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter. A bill proposed by Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver, and Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Englewood, creates a policy group made up of law enforcement officials as well as district attorneys and public residents who would draft policy recommendations for law enforcement agencies who want to deploy bodyworn cameras. Recommendations presented to the
general assembly in 2016 would be used as a guideline for law enforcement agencies who may want to apply for a grant to help purchase cameras. “Public confidence in our police agencies is low,” said Williams. “Without public support the difficulty of the law enforcement becomes even harder,” she said. “The use of technology can improve police practices and build community trust and legitimacy.” The grant program would be administered by the Department of Public Safety. “From the sheriff’s perspective there are an awful lot of things about this bill that we’re really pretty excited about,” said Chad Day, representative for the County Sheriffs of Colorado. “Bodyworn cameras are a great option for a tool for law enforcement to have … it also provides some extra accountably for deputies and officers.”
A LOOK AT THE BILLS HB15-1290 Rep. Joe Salazar and Rep. Daneya Esgar — Stop Police Interference Cop Incident Recordings
— Peace Officer Training Improvements
Summary: Bill creates a private right of action against a law enforcement agency if a person records an incident involving a peace officer and a peace officer destroys the recording or seizes the recording without receiving consent or obtaining a warrant or if the peace officer intentionally interferes with the recording or retaliates against the person making the recording. The person who recorded the incident is entitled to actual damages, a civil penalty of $15,000, and attorney fees and costs.
What this bill does: Currently there are 20 members of the peace officers standards and training board. The bill expands the membership to 24 members by adding four more lay members to the P.O.S.T. board. The bill requires the governor to consider an applicant’s age, gender, race, professional experience and geographic location when making appointments to the board.
Vote: bill laid over for future action What they said: “This bill is intended to protect our first amendment right to record police officers in a public place and to uphold our fourth and 14th amendment rights when it comes to protections against seizure or destruction of recordings and or property,” said Rep. Daneya Esgar, D-Pueblo. HB15-1287 Rep. Angela Williams and Rep. John Cooke
Vote: Passed 13-0 What they said: “It is vital that law enforcement provides training that recognizes the unique needs and characteristics of minority communities; whether they are victims, witnesses of crimes, subjects of stops or criminal suspects,” said Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver.

House kills Regulatory Reform Act By Amy Woodward
awoodward @colorado communitymedia.com Each year, a handful of legislators draft a bill known as the Regulatory Reform Act in an effort to tweak new regulation enforcement on small businesses owners. And each year the bill fails. Such was the case for the Regulatory Reform Act of 2015, which passed through the Senate but was squashed in a House committee last week. The bill, which was introduced separately in both chambers of the general assembly, would have applied to business with 100 em-
ployees or less. Sponsored by father and son representatives Tim Neville, R- Jefferson County, and Patrick Neville, R-Franktown, as well as former state representative Libby Szabo, R-Arvada, the bill aimed to relieve enforcement of new regulations that small business owners may inadvertently violate. Usually, small businesses are not aware of any unintended violations until a state agency audit determines noncompliance. Due to smaller size, most small business owners do not have a separate department whose sole duty is to monitor new regulations and ensure compliance, said Rep. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland.
“Majority of these cases, there is somebody who just didn’t know something new came along,” said DelGrosso. First-time violations against new regulations would be handled through a warning rather than imposing a hefty fine, which brought opposition from the union advocacy group, AFL-CIO. “I think that are some instances where people make honest mistakes,” said lobbyist Phil Hayes for AFL-CIO. “What this bill does though is say that every time they violate a law except for a pretty narrow list of circumstances that the agency must waive the fine.” Minor violations relating to only new regulations were specified under the act, which
dealt with operational or administrative matters that includes “record keeping, retention of data or filing of reports,” the bill reads. Infractions relating to public safety or permit and bidding contracts were exempt from the bill. “We have not had a violation yet but new rules and regulations come out every year and it is impossible for an owner with a growing company to keep up with all of them,” said Elizabeth Bayer, owner of a small consulting firm known as SJR Environmental Consulting. “I am not asking on behalf of me or my employees for a chance to get ‘out of jail’ or ‘get away with it’ but a chance to learn and to grow as an owner because I don’t know everything.”

OPINION
April 10, 2015

O U R S
Those guys in orbit sure do get around There is something familiar about this. The other day, an American and two Russians floated into space together. I used to float into space with two Russians myself. One was named Smirnoff, and the other one was named Stolichnaya. I affectionately called him “Stoli.” But we were only gone for two or three days. American Scott Kelly and Russian Mikhail Kornienko are going to be in space for 342 days. Another Russian, Gennady Padalka, will spend six months on the mission. In all the years that I have been writing this column, not once have I mentioned outer space, unless you include Steve Martin, who is one letter away from being Steve Martian. This amazing project begs for my attention. The first thing that crossed my mind was: What are they going to do about haircuts? The only men who are out of touch for that long are usually in the state pen. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be circling the earth in a great big Pontiac for close to a year. How is it that we are so co-operative with Russians in outer space, but we can’t seem to be just as co-operative down here on the ground? What do our mutual space agencies know that our mutual politicians do not?
I would look at that very closely. Who is the head of NASA? Get him to run for president. [Editor’s note: Charles Frank Bolden Jr.] I live in near isolation. It’s almost home detention. And I like it, but I can back out of my driveway whenever I want to. Not only that: I like to look at women. Just look, mind you. Being up there in a Pontiac without live women somewhere handy would be unacceptable, and perhaps unbearable. Wouldn’t you get a little “restless”? Maybe they take something for that. Certainly there are things I could do without for 342 days. I think I could go that long without being in a Highlands Ranch grocery store on Saturday. Any thought of this wouldn’t even be entertained in my dog’s lifetime. Unless Smitty went along with me. Actually I would like to see a dachshund experiencing zero gravity. Maybe you already know this: Kelly has
an identical twin named Mark. Mark is going to take part in some of the same experiences that Scott is experiencing, so that they can see how a body in space compares with an identical body on earth. I guess that means that they will both have unqualified Russians cutting their hair. I have never come close to wanting to go up in orbit, although my third wife wanted to send me into one now and then. [Editor’s note: The writer has never been married.] “To the moon, Alice,” Ralph Kramden used to yell at his wife. I never thought the show was funny. I watched “The Honeymooners” when I was in grade school. So I was just a kid. But something told me it wasn’t all that funny to see a man barking at a woman. I haven’t had an interest in our space program in years. At one time I could name the missions and many of the astronauts. This particular mission was simply a way for me to wisecrack about Russian vodkas. I know it’s not the same, but if I want to travel around the world or into outer space, I just have to turn on the television and I get to be Captain Video. If it were up to me, I’d have Mark eat too many hot dogs down here, to see if Scott got an upset stomach up there. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Attitude of abundance pays off in every way No doubt there is some heavy-duty competition taking place these days. Many businesses are fighting for a little bigger piece of the pie each and every day. And this holds true for the single entrepreneur, the small and medium-size business, and the large enterprise organizations. We see the competition play out in marketing campaigns, advertising, social media, and through intentional word-of-mouth battles as we all talk up our favorite products and businesses and talk down their competitors. I mean we will share posts and “like” pages on Facebook for the companies we love and support and then we will jump on the bandwagon of negativity when it comes to those products and businesses we do not like or where we had a bad experience. Who is ultimately responsible for our opinion, favoritism, or dislike of a product or business? I mean, our thoughts can only be influenced by the opinions of others to a certain extent; sooner or later we get to the point where we make up our own minds based on our experiences with that person or business. Let me share with you the story of two businesses, competitors in the same industry. The owner of the first business runs his company with an attitude of winner takes all, win at all costs, take no prisoners, and a total lack of trust and respect for the employees at the company. The turnover is very high, employees come and go, and the customers become very frustrated with having to deal with new
employees all the time. The owner’s view of the world is driven purely by greed. Now if you have ever watched the movie “Finding Nemo,” there is a scene in the movie where Nemo’s dad, a clown fish, and Dory, a blue tang, end up on a dock surrounded by dozens of seagulls. The seagulls start calling out, “Mine, mine, mine … Mine, mine, mine” in a typical seagull-like cry. And when I met the owner of the company I described above, that is all I heard as I spoke with him. I could literally hear him saying, “Mine, mine, mine … Mine, mine, mine.” In contrast, the other company couldn’t be more different. The owner treated the employees like family; there was hardly ever any turnover, as the staff has stayed on for many years. The team built solid relationships with customers and each other and even with the local business community. The owner had a mentality of “A rising tide lifts all boats” and wanted to see everyone succeed, even the competition. The ownership, leadership and
We need to hold Congress accountable for shutdown In October 2013, Congress shut down the federal government for 16 days, putting the U.S. economy at risk and leaving 800,000 people out of work nationwide — 40,000 in Colorado. Estes Park sales tax revenue alone dropped 18.2 percent, two of our national parks lost more than $2 million in revenue each, and Colorado Springs had one of the top percentages of workforce affected by the shutdown. In addition to jeopardizing the nation’s safety, security and credibility, Standard and Poor’s estimated that the shutdown took $24 billion out of our economy. For countless Coloradans suffering the aftermath of unprecedented flooding, this shutdown was a kick in the teeth. While paralysis in Washington, D.C., extended the shutdown for more than two weeks, workers across the state continued to do their jobs, day in and day out. From police officers to teachers, business owners to assembly-line workers, they showed up to carry out their duties and fulfill their respon-
sibilities. Coloradans didn’t shut down. Why should Congress? Congress can learn a little something from the people in our state. That’s why Sen. Cory Gardner and I introduced a resolution last month to put pressure on Congress to avoid, or at least quickly end, these needless, damaging crises. Our plan establishes new procedures to keep senators at work until they end the shutdown. Bennet continues on Page 9
management delivered a common message to the staff and the community, “We are here to help,” and they consistently communicated the goals and objectives of the business. They didn’t operate from a position of fear or greed, a minimalist mentality. Instead they operated from an attitude of growth and abundance. The first business owner always finds himself justifying, explaining and defending away the problems in his business. The second owner spends his time celebrating wins and enjoying the benefits of the support of the entire business community. So which CEO/owner would be more likely to get invited to community events or speak at local or national conferences? As a consumer, which company would you prefer to do business with? Which company would you more than likely “Like” on Facebook? Pretty obvious, isn’t it? So how about you? Whether you are a sole proprietor, owner of a small or medium-size business, or the CEO or executive of a large corporation, are you operating from a “Mine, mine, mine” mentality or a “Rising tide lifts all boats” mentality? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we learn to live and work from an attitude of growth and abundance, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Coffman off base on Iran Mr. Coffman’s guest column, “Why I Believe Iran Can’t be Trusted,” ignores several realities. One, the issue in the negotiations is not simply blind trust as he implies but verification as well. Two, it is also true that the U.S. is in a process of negotiation that includes several other countries. It is not just the U. S. and Iran or solely the president and Iran. His charge that “President Obama sees Iran as he wants it to be, and those of us who served in the region see Iran for what it is,” ignores the simple reality that negotiation can lead to peaceful outcomes and if we refuse to negotiate, our only options are a form a warfare. And in his case, the only strategy is a form of obliteration. Readers of this paper might be interested in another view in the current issue (March 30, 2015) of Barron’s. Please see the article by Craig Mellow on Emerging Markets (Iran: The Next Frontier?) and note these quotes from Charles Robertson, chief economist of Renaissance Capital, a London-based investment bank who says: “A trip Letter continues on Page 9

Lane quickly called the school and was assured she would still receive her master’s degree in business administration. Still, news of the closure was unsettling to Lane, who said she carries a 4.0 GPA and took out tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. “Until I get my degree in hand, I have a big worry.” JIU officials say they remain dedicated to their students’ education. Those who can complete their programs in a year or less will be given the chance to continue their studies and graduate from JIU. But many students will likely transition to another online school, Trident University International, based in Cypress, California. The two universities have “a formal transfer agreement,” Wallace said. JIU also is attempting to work out agreements with other institutions. “Our commitment to our students and their education has always been, and will continue to be, our top priority,” Wallace said, “and we will not close until we have helped all JIU students to

either transfer or graduate.” The decision to close the online school will not affect a massive, mixed-use project bearing the Jones name in the works in Centennial, Wallace said. The 42-acre Jones District broke ground on its initial stage in October and is expected to boast 1.8 million square feet of residential, commercial and retail space when it is completed over a period of 20 years or more. The price tag of the largest development in the city’s history could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The site of the project is just down the road from Jones International Ltd. headquarters, home to the online university and other Jones companies. As of late March, Jones employed more than 150 people at the location, and that number will be pared to about 60 by the time the school closes, a spokeswoman said. Centennial officials remain optimistic about Jones’ continued presence in the city. “As a pioneer in education and development, Mr. Jones will always be a part of Centennial and the southeast area,” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said. “The one thing that is constant is change, no matter how much you do or don’t want it to happen. “That being said, we are very pleased The

Asked about the timing of the action, 15 months after Claire’s death, Rooche said they wanted to wait until after the sheriff’s final report, which was released six months ago and found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the school district. “These things just take time,” he said.

It would set in motion a constant series of live quorum calls and roll call votes until a bill to reopen the government has been signed into law. This would mean that senators would have to remain on or near the Senate floor — forcing them to open the lines of communication and work with one another — until the government is reopened. This is how it would work. Following a full or partial government shutdown, the Senate would convene at 8 a.m. the following day. If a majority of senators are not present, a roll call vote to request the attendance of the absent senators would take place. Once a majority of senators — or a quorum — is achieved, a roll call vote will occur every hour up until midnight to ensure that the senators are in the chamber and working toward a solution to reopen the government. The new procedures would also include consequences for senators who choose not to show up. If the absent senators don’t respond to the request for their attendance, a motion to require their attendance would be put to

Moving on On its website, www.jiu.edu, the school outlines the process for students wishing to transfer. It also touts Trident as being a larger, more cost-efficient alternative. “Trident University currently serves more than 8,000 students with more degree programs than JIU,” the site states. “An education at Trident University costs significantly less than one at JIU. For example, JIU’s MBA program costs $805 per credit hour compared to Trident University’s $475 per credit hour. Undergrad tuition will drop from $530 per credit hour to $350 per credit hour.” After learning of Trident’s lower tuition, Lane said she wonders if she spent more money on her education than she needed to. She also wonders, down the road, what potential employers will think of a degree from a school that no longer exists. But Lane said her experience at JIU was a good one, with teachers who were “very nice, very available.” “I enjoyed it, it was a challenge,” she said. “I’m just surprised that they’re closing.”
wrap things up before students return to school next fall, or at least by Oct. 1. The district will pay all expenses up to $25,000, after which the parties will split all costs. The district agreed not to invoke governmental immunity, and has waived some federal protections of Karl Pierson’s records. While the agreement recommends the two parties jointly issue a public report, it allows either party to do so on its own 45 days after the end of the process. All information released during the discovery process will be available to the public. “The agreement … creates a process that meets our goal of being investigative, not accusatory, in discovering how the tragedy on December 13, 2013 happened,” reads the Davis family’s statement.
a vote. The Sergeant at Arms would report the names and locations of the senators who have failed to report to the Senate floor. If the Senate still cannot achieve a quorum at that point, the Sergeant at Arms would be issued warrants to arrest the missing senators and bring them to the Senate. Ideally, a bill like this wouldn’t be necessary. But Washington’s habit of turning routine responsibilities into government shutdowns has to end. At best, these changes will motivate Congress to avoid a crisis and do the work they were elected to do. At worst, they would at least force lawmakers to stay on the floor and work together until they find a solution to reopen the government. This type of political theater hurts our economy and competiveness, puts our safety and international reputation at risk, and most importantly continues to erode the American people’s faith in their government. No county commissioner or city councilor in the state of Colorado would put their credit at risk or jeopardize their community because of a disagreement or to prove a point. People wouldn’t stand for it. Coloradans don’t shut down, and Congress shouldn’t either.

Foundation invests, builds for future Solomon Foundation bringing headquarters, 20 jobs to Parker By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A leading church extension fund is establishing its national headquarters in Parker. Solomon Foundation, a nonprofit that provides loans to religious organizations to build churches, is moving from the Meridian International Business Center near Lincoln Avenue and Interstate 25 to the northeast corner of Jordan Road and Pine Lane. Construction began last June on the 60,000-square-foot Solomon Centre, a building that will also be the new home for Southeast Christian Church’s ministry offices and its food bank, SECOR, and potentially other nonprofits in the future. The Solomon Foundation expects to move in this June.
What the foundation does The Solomon Foundation provides funding for the future expansion of buildings to “facilitate the growth of the Restoration Movement churches and Churches of Christ all across America,” according to planning documents. It has loaned out more than $185 million in less than four years, said Doug Crozier, chief executive officer of The Solomon Foundation. It provided funding for 80 projects in 25 states. The loans are made with money invested by congregants at Southeast Christian Church and other churches falling under the Restoration Christian Churches umbrella. The 501(c)3’s website lists investment opportunities, including retirement options, that enable congregants to “earn a competitive return” while impacting the church at the same time.

Talented workforce lures foundation to Parker The Solomon Foundation is bringing 20 full-time jobs to Parker, but it has room for 32 employees in the new building. The nonprofit has plans to hire 12 financial services positions in the coming years as it expands. An educated local workforce was part of the reason why The Solomon Foundation relocated its headquarters to Parker, Crozier said. “The cost of living was a positive thing, and the quality of life and the ability to hire excellent workers in the marketplace,” said Crozier, who bought a home in the Timbers south of Parker.
Changing the landscape The Solomon Centre is directly north of Southeast Christian Church and has become a visible development along a heavily used section of Jordan Road.
When the two-story project was recommended for approval during a March 2014 planning commission meeting, commissioner John Howe said there is an “ideal buffer” between nearby apartments and the church, and said the “new tenants will bring solid business opportunities to the daytime economy for the town.” The foundation is “creating an excellent building that will fit into the neighborhood,” said Crozier, who was the president of a church development fund that helped Southeast Christian Church with every phase of its physical development. Because of anticipated traffic impacts, a crosswalk with a pedestrian-activated signal will be added on Pine Lane, roughly 100 yards east of Jordan Road. Southeast Christian Church will house its counseling center and youth activities in The Solomon Centre in addition to its ministry offices.

Designs by Sundown wins statewide award Winning landscape once owned by Carmelo Anthony By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com

When a home was once owned by Carmelo Antho-
ny, you expect it to be nice. But thanks to Englewood-based Designs by Sundown, his former home in Polo Reserve is not just nice, it’s “ELITE.” Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado recently bestowed its “Elevating the Landscape Industry through Excellence” award upon DBS in recognition of the work it’s done on the six-acre estate. “It’s basically a small resort,” said Bill Mansoor, DBS maintenance manager. “There’s so much character on the property.” The company installed and maintains a spa area, four formal water features, a small lake, a 30-foot-tall hedge, numerous outdoor living spaces, dozens of trees and thousands of flowers. The current owner wishes to stay out of the spotlight, but Mansoor said he also likes to raise giant pumpkins, up to 500 pounds or so, which DBS also takes care of. “He wants it party-ready all the time, so that stepped up our game a little bit,” said Monsoor. “What we try to do is make people’s lives a little better. We want to make their outdoor living environment the best it can be, and we want them to be proud of their landscape.” Monsoor said there are five or six employees on the

DBS employs about 120 people, said Mansoor. “That’s great for the area, and great for the state of Colorado,” said Mansoor, who’s in the midst of moving the company’s maintenance facility from the Littleton site into a building farther south on Santa Fe in Highlands Ranch. “(Hommel) is a big supporter of the community and giving back.”

Art specific to the Western United States often depicts horses saddled and herding cattle, or harnessed, working the soil, but for centuries, they have drawn artists’ attention in many visions. The Arts Gallery at the PACE Center in Parker displays an exhibit with work by three very different artists who all revere the image of the horse. “The Horse: Variations on a Theme” will hang in the gallery through April 30 and is open during daytime hours and during performances. It offers art by Amy Laugesen, Quang Ho and Brown Cannon. Laugesen, of Englewood, said on her website that she grew up in Parker, where her love of horses was nurtured and she was a member of the local Pony Club. “Now as a sculptor, the horse, familiar in form, nature and spirit continues to offer powerful inspiration for my mixed media sculptures.” Copy from the gallery speaks of her Etruscan-influenced clay forms, tying her with an ancient time when horses were

As a partner of the Colorado Rockies, The Tavern Hospitality Group has created ways to bring some fun to the baseball season. Rockies tickets will be given away every Monday during happy hour at all neighborhood Taverns. Tavern Downtown has a buy-one-get-one draft beer special with a same-day Rockies ticket. And at Tavern Ballpark in Coors Field, Tavern will give $1,000 to a lucky winner if the Rockies hit a home run in the first inning. At all Taverns (excluding Ballpark and Mile High), guests can win Rockies tickets during Rockies Happy Hour Ticket Giveaway from 3 to 7 p.m. Mondays. Guests can enter every Monday. During the 2014 season, Tavern gave away almost 10,000 tickets. Tavern locations include Littleton, Denver Tech Center, Lowry, Downtown and more. Tavern Hospitality Group owner Frank Schultz said, “Rockies season brings a lot of fans to our locations to watch the games, especially when spring fever kicks in and people want to hang out with friends on our patios. Our partnership with the Rockies allows us to add to those guest experiences and give them another reason to spend some time with us.” For additional information, visit www. tavernhg.com.
American Indian eatery opens
The metro area now has two locations of the American Indian-owned and -operated Tocabe restaurants. The newest location opened on March 7 in Greenwood Village. Traditionally, Americans have little understanding of food in the American Indian culture. This fact was a main motivation in creating Tocabe. Owner Ben Jacobs and his team wanted to help bring a voice to what Native food can be in today’s world. Tocabe’s Berkeley neighborhood location was featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” in 2011. Tocabe’s Berkeley location is at 3536 W. 44th Ave., 720-524-8282.

on research that shows that 4-year-olds that have access to books and adults that read to them often will be much more likely to read when they start kindergarten,” according to the program’s website. From April 13-27, children who are 4 — or will be 4 in 2015 — are eligible to receive this year’s choice in the One Book 4 Colorado program. The title is a big secret until April 13, although the Englewood children’s librarian says “I know what it is” and is planning story times and related toys for kids to play with during the first week. Certainly, other libraries have similar plans. Littleton’s Bemis Library will have books for distribution on April 13, as will the Arapahoe Library District, which expects to distribute 4,000 books this year. “The vocabulary level of preschoolers is

1958 comes to life ‘Marvelous Wonderettes’ show is easy on audience
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Four 1950s-era teenage girls in pretty pastel print dresses and crinoline petticoats stand in front of a raised bandstand in the theater at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center. “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” says a banner above the four musicians’ heads. The Town Hall audience is off on a time trip to 1958, when students entertained at the prom, which was held in the high school gym. “Decorations were made by hand by student committees and teachers kept an eye on the punchbowl to make sure it wasn’t spiked, and smoking outside the gym could get you suspended,” recalls director Bob Wells. This quartet, expertly coached by music director Traci Kern, is on stage all night, smoothly blending voices on one song after another, starting with “Mr. Sandman” and “Lollipop.” As they sing, small storylines develop about boyfriends and competitiveness, hopes and dreams. The show flows smoothly and pleasantly, asking no effort at all from its audience. Wells explains that “The Marvelous Wonderettes” was originally created by Roger Bean as a one-act for the small
“The Marvelous Wonderettes” plays through April 26 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays; and 6:30 p.m. on April 19. Tickets: $23-$42, 303-794-2787, ext. 5, townhallartscenter.org. (To make tickets available to all, Town Hall offers 10 value seats at $10 one hour before curtain time-first come, first served.)
Milwaukee Repertory Theater in 1999. It evolved into a second act with a 10-year reunion circa 1968, played for a couple of years in Los Angeles, and it next moved to OffBroadway New York City in 2008 to early 2010. It has since become popular with theaters across the nation. “Its songs define a specific time in America,” Wells writes. Meet Cindy Lou (Cashelle Butler), Missy (Colby Dunn), Betty Jean (Taylor Nicole Young) and Suzy (Cara Lippitt). Springfield High’s song leaders have come to the rescue when the original prom music program was canceled due to misbehavior by its star. They sing steadily throughout the evening, with clever choreography by Wells and Kelly Kates. Microphones and a couple of tables with small props are the extent of staging. The voices have it all.
‘Fairy Tales on Ice’ bound for local arena Large cast will stage highlights from stories

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Guest skaters in the 2015 “Fairy Tales on Ice” show include Polina Edmunds, the 2015 Four Continents ladies champion/2014 U.S. Olympic Team member, and Max Aaron, 2014 U.S. bronze medalist and 2013 U.S. men’s national champion. They will join 145 skaters from South Suburban Ice Arena, Family Sports Center and Denver ice arenas for this annual spring production, with two evening performances and two matinees on April 2426. “Fairy Tales on Ice” will include highlights from “Shrek,” “Tangled,” “Enchanted,” “Cinderella,” “Sleeping Beauty” and “Frozen.” The show is produced through a partnership between Colorado Skating Club and Denver Figure Skating Club and is held at South Suburban Ice Arena. The annual Showtime on Ice production was created by the late Peggy DeLio to expose figure skaters and their families to Broadway musicals and classics, according to publicist Madeline Daley. She writes that the first show was fashioned after the Ice Follies and each year since has had a different theme.

The audience gets to vote for prom queen and then catch up with the quartet 10 years later at a reunion, where some rivalry still exists and some difficult relationships continue. Styles have changed and gum-chewing Suzy is pregnant. Songs include a reprise of “Mr. Sandman,” then switch a decade later. Included: “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Leader of the Pack,” “RESPECT” and more. They tie up some loose ends and close with “Thank You and Goodnight/Sincerely.” Pleasant way to spend an evening.

Holocaust survivor urges world to fight injustice
Movement calls for people to shout out against injustice By Christy Steadman
csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Ben Lesser would like the entire world to shout out against injustice. It begins with one community, he said, then spreads throughout the world. Go global, go viral, the 86-year-old Holocaust survivor said. “Just you and I won’t matter,” Lesser said, “but millions of people can make a difference.” Lesser came to Highlands Ranch on March 30 and 31 to give presentations to STEM School and Academy middle-schoolers and their families. Both nights boasted a maximum-capacity crowd of 240 people. Lesser was invited to speak because the language arts and history units are covering WWII, said sponsoring STEM teacher Erin Christian. “We wanted to give the students the chance to experience living history,” she said. “He can tell them, from his words and his experiences, what it was like.” It was a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” for the students, she added, as this is the last generation that will get to meet a living survivor. “Holocaust survivors are few and far between.” I Shout Out is an online movement for “anyone who wants to speak out against intolerance, injustice, racism or bullying,” Lesser said. The purpose, he said, is to stop the world from acquiring amnesia, and the goal is to have 6 million shout-outs to compensate for the 6 million silenced voices of the Holocaust. “It doesn’t have to stop at 6 million,” he said. “We need every human being to shout out.” Lesser feels it is his life’s mission to educate

Photo by Christy Steadman people and “inspire the world to stop hatred,” he said. “Hatred stops at education,” he said. “When people are ignorant, they don’t know any better. We have to choose to stop hatred.” Change happens when enough people are willing to speak up, and speak out, Lesser said. He encourages everyone to post a shout-out on www.i-shout-out.org. The shout-outs will remain posted on the website forever. Children do it because they heard about it from a teacher, Lesser said. Then the children go home and tell their parents and siblings about it. Then the parents get excited, and they shout out, and tell all their friends about
‘Evil lurks in human beings. We have to be careful not to let it surface. Let’s appreciate what we have and respect each other. We live side-by-side. It’s so simple. There is one race in this world — it’s the human race.’
Ben Lesser it, who then also shout out. “You never know who these kids will turn out to be,” Lesser said. “They may become the
president (of the United States). Their shoutout is like a pledge, a reminder, that they are against hatred.”
ONE MAN’S HOLOCAUST TIMELINE Ben Lesser was born in Krakow, Poland to Shaindel and Lazar Lesser. He had two sisters: Goldie and Lola, and two brothers: Moishe and Tuli. Of the seven family members, Lola and Ben were the only two to survive the Holocaust.

Germans invade Poland. The Lesser Family was able to avoid being forced to move to the Krakow Ghetto, as Lola’s suitor, Mechel Lieber, made arrangements for the family to relocate to a settlement outside of the city in Niepolomice. Later, the Nazis invaded Niepolomice, and the family was sent to the Bochnia Ghetto. However, Lola was able to help the family by telling Nazi officials that she, and the rest of the family, were born in Munkacs, Hungary, and the family relocated to Hungary and stayed with extended family.

Germans invade Hungary. Ben was loaded into a Nazi cable car, which was used to transport Jewish people to concentration camps. By this time, he has been separated from most of his immediate family. He arrived at AuschwitzBirkenau, a concentration camp, with his uncle and cousin. Ben receives his new identity, number 1212. The three were eventually relocated to a rock quarry labor camp in Durnhau, near the Czech border, and eventually, he and his cousin, Isaac, were forced to go on a Death March to Buchenwald. The next day, however, Ben and Isaac were transported to Dachau, a four-week journey via Death Train.

We didn’t even know what to think or feel. They tried to mask their horror at the sight of us with friendly smiles.” Isaac came down with dysentery, and did not survive. He died in Ben’s arms.

Store lends a helping ham
Staff report
Twenty people received a free ham from the Highlands Ranch HoneyBaked Ham store on April 2 for Unofficial Ham Holiday. “We didn’t tell anybody
about it,” said the store’s general manager Bob Murchison, “so it was a big surprise for them.” The Highlands Ranch location was the only store to do the ham giveaway, and the reason for it was simply
to reach out and thank the location’s loyal customers, Murchison said. He added the recipients were “all smiles.” The Highlands Ranch location has been in operation for 15 years, and is probably the franchise’s highest volume store in the Denver-metro area, Murchison said. April 2, was “kind of a VIP day” for shoppers, he said, because the Friday and Saturday before Easter Sunday, along with the week of Thanksgiving, are the store’s busiest days of the year. The Highlands Ranch location will probably serve 3,000 people — totaling about 30,000 pounds of ham — their Easter meal, Murchison said.

Program is at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16, at Bemis Public Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton. Speaker Wyeno’s father was a farmer in Colorado when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese military forces. Wyeno’s family and other Americans of Japanese ancestry faced many challenges and much discrimination during World War II. Many of them made sacrifices to prove their loyalty to the United States. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living along the West Coast of the United States and Arizona were sent to 10 internment camps in the western part of the country, including Colorado. Two-thirds of these residents were American citizens. Ironically, the most decorated military unit of the Second World War was the all-Nisei (second generation Americans of Japanese ancestry) 442 Regimental Combat Team. Some of these soldiers volunteered out of the internment camps to demonstrate that they were true Americans. Hank Wyeno is retired from the Littleton Public Schools where he was a teacher and principal. He is also a leader in the Optimist service organization. A native of the state, Wyeno was born and raised on a farm in southeastern Colorado. Both of his parents immigrated from Japan, his father in 1898 and his mother in 1920. Call 303-795-3961.

niversary premiere of “O God We Sing and Celebrate,” sung by four LUMC choirs; 2 p.m., “Love Letters.” Gurney — the writer of the play the Hendrys will perform — is known for his chronicling of the upper middle class. The play follows a half-century of correspondence between a man and a woman. It begins when they are in second grade and lasts through their 50s, according to director Annawyn Shamas. “Melissa and Andy’s letter writing weathers schooling, youthful traumas, their marriages and divorces, and is filled with many moments of humor as the two mature and their friendship deepens,” according to Shamas.

General consul to Germany speaking in Denver Staff report Bernd Fischer, general consul to Germany, will be at the Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver on April 23 to speak at the German American Chamber of Commerce — Colorado Chapter’s annual Evening with the Chamber. Fischer will be in Denver to address GACC members and other interested parties at the evening’s event.
The topic of Fischer’s speech will be a German-inspired apprenticeship program, called the Skills Initiative, which is determined to produce more highly skilled American workers to limit overseas job outsourcing. The Skills Initiative trains workers, usually over a three-year period, in the classroom and includes on-the-job training with an eye toward more businesses hiring local, American workers.

ALL-SOUTH METRO BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM
LEADERS OF THE PACK As we mentioned last week, we added a spot to our all-star basketball teams this year. You learned our seven selections for the All-South Metro Girls Basketball Team last week. In this edition, it’s the boys’ turn. Any coach given the chance to lead this team would truly consider seven a lucky number. The selections include players who can dominate in the paint, others who specialize in creating shots for themselves and teammates, and still others whose niche is draining baskets from long range. As always, the selections were made by Colorado Community Media’s sports staff, with input from area coaches. Eligible players attended schools in Douglas County, the Littleton Public Schools district and Cherry Creek High School.

Soccer match ends in scoreless tie Arapahoe, Heritage girls play through two OT periods By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com One hundred minutes wasn’t enough for a winner to emerge from a March 31 rivalry match, because at the end of the second overtime period, the Heritage-Arapahoe girls soccer game went into the books as a 0-0 tie. “It was a great rivalry game,” Warriors coach Kirk Bast said after the game. “They had a lot more heart than we did. Both teams had scoring opportunities, but if you believe you will score in those situations, you will.” Eagles coach Adam Buseck agreed it was a great rivalry game. “This was typical of an Arapahoe-Heritage game,” he said. “Both teams played well, both teams played hard. A soccer game can be entertaining even if the score is 0-0, and that was the case tonight as it was a fast-paced game up and down the field.” After the March 31 rivalry game, Arapahoe began play in the 4A/5A Centennial League. The Warriors were at home April 7 against Grandview, then are scheduled to play backto-back road games, April 14 against Eaglecrest and April 16 against Overland. The Eagles had six days to practice before heading into games against 4A/5A Continental League opponents. Heritage was on the road April 7 against Castle View, played a home game April 9 against Ponderosa, then will travel to play Regis on April 16. Looking at records, Arapahoe came into the March 31 game as a favorite with a 5-0 record, while Heritage took the field against their rival with a 2-2 mark. But records go out the window when rivals take the field against each other. Both teams came out fired up and looking to take control of the tempo of play. When one team pushed an attack, the opponent stifled the effort and launched an attack of its own. The result was that much of the game was played within 25 yards of the midfield stripe. Each team put together attacks that produced scoring opportunities and even put the ball in the mouth of the goal. However, in each occasion, goalie play was outstanding and

West won this battle but the game went into double overtime and still ended in a scoreless tie. Photos by Tom Munds was aided by excellent play by the defenders. “We had good chances to score tonight,” the Warriors coach said. “We did well on corner kicks and had opportunities to score, but it didn’t happen.” Bast said Arapahoe is a young team this season with only two seniors on the roster, but he said the majority of athletes are year-round soccer players, so he has a talented team. “We are working on building our team and I’m not sure yet where our strength will be,” he said. Hannah Archuleta made some outstanding plays in goal for the Warriors. “It was a tough night and it was a little disappointing that we didn’t win the game,” she said after the game. “When I started playing soccer as a kid, I was a forward until our goalie left and the coach made me the goalie. I’ve been playing goalie ever since.” Archuleta said she loves the position. She said soccer is a team sport but she holds herself accountable for how the team plays. “I know that every game I can get better, and when I get better, my teammates get better too,” the junior said. “The toughest shot for me as a goalie is when the ball is high right

under the crossbar. I jump pretty well but I’m not all that tall, so those shots are hard for me.” Heritage also is a young team this season. “We only have three seniors on the roster and the majority of the rest of the team is made up of juniors,” Buseck said after the game. “We have a talented team because most of our girls play soccer all year, but many are multi-sport athletes. For example, we have four starters who played basketball for Heritage and now are out here with us.” He said, as always, league play is challenging because there are so many good soccer teams in the Continental League. “We need to come ready to play every game because we know every league opponent will field a good team,” he said. “Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon is the class of the state and are as good as there is in high school soccer. We are fighting to be competitive with them and we also know the rest of the teams in the league will also be tough opponents.” Buseck said defense is a team strength. He said the team takes pride in a defense that really works for each other to keep the ball out of the goal area. He said the team also is working to be more polished on the ball and maintain

control of it. The Eagles have juniors playing on the fullback line, the defenders who are in front of the Heritage goal. One of the starting defenders is junior Regan Yost. “I have always played defense, and I guess I have been asked to play defense because I am tall,” she said after the game. “I like playing center defender or outside defender, depending on the game.” She the game against Arapahoe was intense and, at times, it was scary because the Warriors put shots in the mouth of the goal. She said she has two goals for the season. “One goal is not to let opponents score any more goals against us,” she said. “The other goal, though it might sound weird, is to head the ball into the net for a goal.”

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 6, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be upset about having to deal with problems that are no fault of your own. But you can turn the annoyance into an asset by showing how quickly and how well you can resolve them. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s fondness for tidiness pays off when you untangle a situation that seems hopelessly snarled. You might later be surprised to learn who will be expressing his or her gratitude. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you can tackle your assignment the way you prefer, it might be a good idea to at least ask for suggestions. Who knows? One or two might even turn out to be helpful.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make all the changes in your plans or proposals that you feel are necessary before -- repeat, before -- you submit them to your colleagues. You’ll come off looking more decisive that way. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might feel a mite intimidated in a new environment, be it a job, a classroom or meeting the future in-laws. But enter with a big smile, and everyone will see you as a real take-charge Cat. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This could be a romantic time for you if you can set aside your cynicism and let yourself believe that someone really cares. If you’re already in a relationship, expect your partner to be extra-loving. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s a good time to shed any doubts about your abilities. You’ve proved yourself in the past, so why not accept that you’ll do just as well, or better, in dealing with the new challenge ahead? SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your suspicions might be on the mark, but unless you can prove what you assume, you need to exercise that Scorpion discretion and let events unfold without your assistance. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Be careful not to go over the top this week. Avoid overeating (especially of the wrong foods), or drinking too much, or working too hard. You can do it all, but in moderation. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family matter is given to you to resolve because you have the gift for bringing quarrelsome kinfolk together. But while you’re playing Dr. Phil, don’t neglect your career obligations. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Someone of importance shares your goals but disagrees with your plan to achieve them. Never mind. Defending your methods with logic and facts earns you admiration and respect. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Consider getting away, perhaps for the weekend, despite all the demands made on your time and energies. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackle it all with your usual finesse. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sense of honesty that makes people believe and trust in you. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
