Standing in front of investors and trying to sell yourself and your business can be a nerve-wracking experience — especially for middle and high school students. Students from around Douglas County were able to pitch their business ideas to local leaders for the chance to receive real funding for their projects as part of the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Investment Panel on March 31 at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock. “That was the part I was nervous about,” said Castle View freshman Catalin Varela. “I can practice the slideshow a million and one times a day, but you never know what they’re going to ask.”

Castle Rock has selected David Corliss to be its next town manager. Corliss is currently the city manager of Lawrence, Kansas. Town council will consider approving an employment agreement with him April 7. Corliss is expected to resign his current post and become Castle Rock’s town manager effective June 1. Mark Stevens retired April 3 after 14 years as town manager. Fritz Sprague, who has served 15 years as Castle Rock’s deputy town manager, will be acting town manager until a new manager takes office. Stevens’ annual salary was $179,000. The new manager will negotiate his salary with the town based on experience. Corliss has worked for Lawrence since 1990, becoming city manager in 2006, and prior to that worked as a research attorney for the League of Kansas Municipalities. “I’ve been very much involved in growth management,” Corliss said during a community event for the candidates March 18 at town hall. “Lawrence isn’t growing at the same pace as Castle Rock is, but it is a growing community.” He holds both a law degree and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Kansas in Lawrence. He’s been a member of the Kansas Water Authority since 2007 and has numerous additional professional and personal affiliations. “While I’m not going to say, `I know a lot about Colorado water law,’ I do know a lot about Kansas

water law and Kansas water issues,” he said. Lawrence is a city of 90,000, people with 20,000 of those being students at the university. Corliss compared the college town to Castle Rock, stating that they are both communities where people commute to larger metropolitan areas for work. “It makes economic development a priority,” he said. Corliss will have been married to his wife, Sarah, for 30 years this August. They got married in Boulder, where she is from and where her parents still live. Corliss said he and his wife wanted to move back to Colorado to be nearer to family. The timing seemed right with the couple’s three daughters all graduating this May — two from college and one from high school, with none staying in Kansas. “We’re looking for a place to spend the next dozen years or so,” Corliss said. More than 50 applicants responded to the town’s job posting for a new town manager.

PANCAKES AND EASTER EGGS
April 9, 2015
Parents and children descended on the Outlets at Castle Rock on April 3 for the Easter Bunny Breakfast. Children took turns sitting on the Easter Bunny’s lap while freshly cooked pancakes were served by Chris Cakes in the food court. While the Easter Bunny made his way around the food court to greet the children, a guitarist played children’s songs and passed out crowns. The event was free, but a donation of a canned food item for the Douglas/Elbert Task Force was suggested.

Larkspur rallies around its school Budget cuts at small south Douglas County elementary mostly averted
LARKSPUR ELEMENTARY EXTRA FUNDS
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Larkspur town council members and parents successfully rallied to protect their elementary school after recent threats of budget and staff cuts. But some are still worried about the school’s future. Enrollment at the southern Douglas County school has declined by about 100 students since 2006 to about 300. Because of the steady enrollment drop, the Douglas County School District had pondered some cuts at Larkspur Elementary. News of potential cuts so alarmed the town board they adopted a resolution in March opposing any budget reductions at the school. The board cited the school as a vital economic component of the small town, and said losing staff and teachers could negatively impact property values and the town’s appeal to future residents. The school receives high ratings on numerous sites that evaluate schools based on academic performance and parent reviews. “A lot of people settle here because of the school,” said town board member Joe Jeske,
The Douglas County School District provides highly impacted funding based on risk factors that include small size, high free/reduced lunch student populations, center-based special education programs, high mobility and new administrators among others.
For Larkspur Elementary, highly impacted funds have included: •2009-10: $26,894 • 2010-11: $99,193 • 2011-12: $42,676 • 2012-13: $76,519 • 2013-14: $46,374
whose three daughters attended Larkspur Elementary. “They care there and the volunteer system they’ve got is just absolutely out of this world.” School board President Kevin Larsen said district leaders arranged a meeting with the town as soon as they learned of its concerns. Most of the originally proposed reductions now are off the table. The school is receiving highly impacted funding — money awarded based on risk factors that include small size and other factors — to help keep staffing at about the same level. “Much of what was brought to their attention was the first round of (budget) possibilities,” Larsen said. “I think they now have a better understanding of how our
• 2014-15: $79,000 • 2015-16: $108,337 In 2013-14, the school also received three years of funding — about $134,000 — to support its move to an Environment Learning education model.
process works. Going forward, I think we’ve got a positive outcome.” Town Manager Matt Krimmer agreed. “I think the current situation may have been mitigated,” he said. “But (the school is) very concerned about what’s going to happen in 2016 and 2017 and beyond. And that is a concern of the town as well.” No matter how far school enrollment drops, Larkspur Elementary School Accountability Committee member Christian Phelps said the school needs a stable operating budget. The district “addressed some of our issues,” she said. “But even if we have only 10 kids, you still need a fully functioning front office staff. I think we really need to be sure
Student hosting breakfast for Vietnam veterans Staff report Castle View High School student Hailey Richey has only read about the Vietnam War in historical documents, but she recognized what she believes was a long-ago injustice. In a small way, Richey is trying to rectify that issue. Richey, a student in Castle View’s Mosaic program, is helping to host a free welcome-home breakfast for Douglas County Vietnam veterans April 16. She’d like as many as possible to attend the event, planned at 9 a.m. at Castle Rock’s Fraternal Order of Eagles club, 1300 Ca-
price Drive. “We were reading that when the Vietnam vets got home, nobody in America really supported the war so they were ... called names and not treated fairly at all,” said Richey. We really want to show them that our generation still cares.” Mosaic students have partnered with the Douglas County Veterans Monument Foundation for the event. The foundation is footing the cost of the breakfast. Richey is arranging to have a couple of speakers at the event as well. Mosaic is a project-based approach to learning initiated at Castle View in
August 2014. About 100 students are participating in the inaugural year of the program. Richey said she’s interested in history and the military and was inspired by a friend to coordinate the breakfast. “I feel like we don’t do enough to show our thanks to all the veterans and the soldiers that are fighting,” she said. So I wanted to do something special for them.” RSVP for the breafkast by emailing welcomehomebreakfast@gmail.com or by calling 719-201-1982.
we’re getting the necessary funding, and not having to go through this every year.” While Jeske said he’s reassured by DCSD’s promise to work with the town on future school budget issues, other parents see continued reason for concern. To stave off future financial impacts, they’re focused on ensuring school enrollment doesn’t fall further. But they point only a few miles north to south Castle Rock, where K-8 World Compass Academy charter school is under construction. In Parker, the K-8 Global Village Academy also aims for a fall opening. ““In order for us to get more money, we have to have more bodies,” said Kathleen Williams, president of the Larkspur Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization. “Since we’re a rural school, that’s going to be difficult anyway. “But if they keep building charter schools, enrollment is going to continue to go down. Because of where we are, we’ve got to market like crazy to see if we can get those people who can afford to drive their kids (to come) out to Larkspur.” Larsen said it would be helpful for Larkspur to try to attract newcomers to their school. “All it takes is 10 or 20 kids and they’re mitigating the declines they’ve had,” he said.

Hospital in Parker grows with community More room to operate
Service area expected to have 100,000 more people in 2022
The foundation supports were originally built with the idea that a second floor would be added to the operating room, and it’s now taking shape, with crews are putting in electrical, plumbing, walls and mechanical devices for four new rooms and six pre-op beds above the emergency department. It’s also shelling out space for two rooms to be completed during a future phase. The level of demand grew to the point that an expansion was warranted this year, Fisher said, adding the hospital could have benefitted from having more ORs on line during a seasonal rush last November and December. “It’s the convenience factor if you’re a patient,” he said. “Having surgery at 9 p.m. at night is not convenient.” The new operating rooms should be open around Christmas.

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Nowhere is the need to keep up with growth and development more important than at Parker Adventist Hospital. Accessible medical care is perhaps the most vital infrastructure component for a region experiencing rapid growth. Serving an area that encompasses 460,000 people is no easy feat, which is precisely why the hospital has made a habit out of planning ahead. By 2022, hospital officials estimate that the population it serves will reach nearly 562,000. Parker Adventist has shelled out space for growth during previous phases of construction, and is in the midst of a $39 million expansion that will enable it to absorb the impact that comes from more patients. A facility master plan uses market data to “tailor our construction and services toward community needs,” said Jonathan Fisher, chief financial officer for the hospital. “Our goal is to serve the community, so how do we try to stay out in front of that growth that’s happening so we’re not maxed out,” he said. Here is a breakdown of the three major projects underway at Parker Adventist:
Parking structure
A shortage of parking has long been an issue at the hospital, but the construction of a 295-space parking garage on its northwest side will alleviate some of the problems. Because it is being built on a former
Aiming for short-’ER’ waits
Construction workers pour concrete for the new parking garage, which will add 175 spaces to help address parking issues at Parker Adventist Hospital. Courtesy photo parking lot, Parker Adventist will have a net gain of 175 spaces, but they will be in a crucial location: near the medical floor and obstetrics unit. “In the past, we would have pregnant
mothers walking uphill to get to the OB unit,” Fisher said. The $6 million parking structure, which will include a bike cage and electric car chargers, is scheduled to open in May.
In continuing with efforts to reduce emergency room wait times, the hospital is adding two beds and expanding the size of trauma rooms. It is creating an “ER express process” with a “results pending” area where patients are triaged and visited by physicians and nurses, leading to faster discharges, Fisher said. Parker Adventist is also carving out space for behavioral patients and changing the way it uses existing space to maximize efficiency. The hospital still has room to grow on its northeast flank, where a temporary parking lot has been established to accommodate vehicles during the construction of the parking garage. It also owns a lot near Lifetime Fitness where a medical office building will eventually be built.

Earth Day festivities to focus on beautification
y
Volunteers will plant willow branches at park
sBy Mike DiFerdinando emdiferdinando@colorado
communitymedia.com
t , Castle Rock will turn its attention to its eparks for this year’s Earth Day event. The Town of Castle Rock will be hosting the event April 18 at Festival and Philip S. d Miller Parks. It will last from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Volunteers will be harvesting willow branches from Sellars Gulch at Festival Park . and then replanting them at Philip S. Miller Park. After decades of overgrazing, this area needs help being restored to its natural habitat and to decrease erosion by slowing the speed of stormwater flowing through the open space. Castle Rock held its first Earth Day event ein 2011. “There are two reasons the event was created,” Town Coordinator Lisa Sorbo said. “First, it was a way of meeting the many rerquests we received on a regular basis from scouts, their parents, and troop leaders, who were looking for a “conservation project” to gmeet specific scout badge and rank advancement requirements. And secondly, we had a
waterway, south of town, that had formerly been overgrazed by cattle, prior to the town procuring the land.” According to Sorbo, Sellars Gulch was left void of all native vegetation, which is needed to decrease erosion by slowing the speed of stormwater flowing through the open space. Vegetation provides a healthy wetland habitat for many native species to live and thrive. This area of Sellars Gulch has benefited from four years of plantings, and the area is showing strong signs of revegetation. “This year, we will be planting our cuttings at our new park site at Philip S. Miller Park, which has several drainage ways that would benefit from vegetation growth,” Sorbo said. “Not only does it help make these areas more inviting to look at, but it helps reduce the amount of soils taken away by the flow of water.” The group will not be removing any trees. They will be taking cuttings from existing willows and replanting them. “If willow cuttings are taken prior to the healthy plants leafing out, the established plant is not hurt and the cuttings have a better chance of surviving the transplant process,” Sorbo said. The town is expecting a full roster of 100 volunteers, many of which belong to Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Girl Scout and American Heritage Girls organizations.
Officials spotlight distracted driving
-
People urged to commit to road safety all year long 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 distraction-free,” 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 (STACC) 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.”

OPINION
April 9, 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
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.

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 responsibilities. 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. 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 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 Bennet continues on Page 9

Instructor’s career path keeps her close to kids Preschool staffer lauded as 2015 Elementary Educator By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com As Jennifer Morris’ own children grow closer to adulthood, she realizes even more clearly the wonders of the early years. “It makes me appreciate those little kids even that much more,” said Morris, a preschool teacher at Parker’s Iron Horse Elementary Preschool, who recently won an Apple Award as Douglas County School District’s Elementary Educator of the Year. “What I love about the age is their enthusiasm. They are just happy to learn, and they are like sponges. They love everything you teach them.” The mother of three teenagers, Morris gets to indulge her delight in children both at home and at work. Though she majored in child development and knew her career would involve children, it’s taken Morris time to find the right job. “I always loved kids but after college, I worked in the day care industry; I didn’t love it,” said the University of Wyoming graduate and Colorado native. “I didn’t feel like I was teaching kids much.” Morris took a break from work to stay home with her children, but when the youngest started kindergarten, she went back to work; this time, for the Douglas County School District. As an early childhood instructor, she’s feels a new sense of satisfaction. “We’re teaching kids social skills, how to be good civilians, and how to work together,” she
said. “Communicating is huge.” Huge, but not easy. About half of Morris’ charges are on individualized education programs for speech and language, which means they have unique learning styles and issues. “So communication is hard,” she said. “But we do song, dance, sign language and writing and art. A lot of times we follow their lead.” Morris’ challenges are Morris complicated by the children’s ages, which range from 2 to 5. “It’s a big age difference in one classroom,” she said. “You have different levels of development. We have kids that are ready for kindergarten; they’ve learned how to sit and listen and when it’s appropriate to talk. And then we have babies who are log rolling across the floor. “So we give kids different ways to learn and be successful. You have to be really flexible, and you can’t have one standard for the classroom. It teaches all of the kids some tolerance, and it teaches them empathy.” Morris’ career path isn’t done climbing, however. During her off-hours, she’s taking classes to earn her master’s degree at the University of Colorado-Denver. She plans to continue following her lifelong calling and be an early childhood special education teacher. “My dad was a teacher and my mom’s degree was also in child development,” she said. “They were always passionate about helping children themselves. Maybe it reflected in me.”
Young author plots path
Legend High School junior becomes a ‘Dreamer’
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com
Nicole Steiner, a 16-year-old junior at Legend High School, recently returned home from the Disney Dreamers Academy, a mentoring program that gives advice and tools to teens to help them achieve success in their desired career field. Steiner was one of 100 teens chosen out of 10,000 applicants nationwide to attend the four-day, all-expenses paid program at Walt Disney World. Her dream is Steiner to be an author and she was able to network with successful writers, and will continue to be mentored by professionals as she pursues her dream. Along with three other teens, Steiner also wrote and recorded a song in the Disney recording studio about having big dreams. The Parker Chronicle caught up with the aspiring young author for a question-andanswer session.
What specifically has influenced you to pursue a career as an author? Once I learned how to write, the transfer from playthings to pencil came naturally. My parents gave me notebooks and a library card. In the third grade my teacher told me not to write so much… and I listened. My fifth grade teacher, however, encouraged me, so I entered and won my first writing contest. I have used both teachers as motivation. Truly, I want my readers to feel as I do while reading; baggyeyed late at nights, sipping coffee, begging myself to stay awake through another page.
Which genre do you prefer to write? Anything fiction! Lately science fiction
and dystopian novels have been my fixation, but generally young adult fiction is my go-to. Crafting new worlds and fabricating societies is really fun because there are no limits. I also focus a lot on the interactions between my characters and their ever-changing relationships. As I like to say, characters are my coworkers, not my creations. They lead the story in the direction it is meant to go! In what way will your experiences at the academy help you in achieving your dream? DDA gave me two key factors for success: connections and inspiration. I’ve been privileged to network with authors and celebrities, including my new mentor, (author and corporate leader) Sonia Jackson Myles. These connections are designed to provide a career jumpstart for the teenagers who were chosen to attend DDA. The inspiring speakers taught me that the glamour of achievement is easy to see, but the sacrifices and hard work required are what make those achievements possible: “The dream is free but the hustle is sold separately.” Describe the song you wrote and recorded. We wrote “Someday” as a song about dreams. My chorus and bridge illustrate the relentless inner craving I have to work until my dream as an author comes true, and knowing that — someday — I will be what I was born to be. All of our voices and lyrics are like comparing apples to oranges yet they blend together deliciously. How did you feel listening back to it? Dazed. For a song we made in a four hours, we were all amazed by the turnout! I’m used to writing and performing songs in a bedroom with a cat for an audience. Sometimes I’ve performed originals in my guitar class, but performing “Someday” at DDA is my performance highlight! I wanted to cry and hug the other dreamers I worked with. At the same time, however, it felt so right. I was born to work with words… “Someday” is only the beginning for me.

House kills Regulatory Reform Act Small business owners testify in support for education first, fines second 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 com-
mittee last week. The bill, which was introduced separately in both chambers of the general assembly, would have applied to business with 100 employees 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 en-
sure 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.”
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 body-
worn 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.

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 multi-county, multi-vehicle flight from Longmont to Douglas County. But Judge Paul King agreed with a prose-
cuting 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 mulStone tiple 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 positive 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. He also noted that the use of self-induced 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
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. “Body-worn cameras are a great option for a tool for law enforcement to have … it also provides some extra accountably for deputies and officers.”
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 firstdegree 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.

DC Dolphins’ Director of Baseball Academy Meagan Lang’s idea to hold an MVP Challenger League game for youth athletes with physical and developmental challenges as the season opener grew to an event with 14 participating athletes and more than 100 spectators in a matter of months. The game was held at Metzler’s Field in Castle Rock on March 28, a sunny Saturday. The event included a three-inning game of seven-on-seven baseball, with some assistance from the Dolphins baseball players and volunteers, complete with music and cheerleaders. Lang said the event is definitely one the DC Dolphins plan to continue and grow and reflected on the inaugural event, saying, “It was amazing to see all the smiles and laughs from kids and their families — I am beyond grateful and humbled to have the support I do and seeing something I simply [envisioned] a few months ago come true.”

Exhibit focuses on equine art Three artists share visions of horses at PACE Center
Tavern, Rockies join in giveaway
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com 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

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. The Greenwood Village restaurant is at 8181 E. Arapahoe Road, Suite C, 720-485-6738.

Bands battle for audience’s vote Event at fairgrounds showcases area musicians By Rick Gustafson
Special to Colorado Community Media Six bands from across the Front Range rocked the Elbert County Fairgrounds in Kiowa on April 4 in the second High Plains Battle of the Bands. The event featured the talents of musicians ranging from middle school-aged to early 20s competing in a head-to-head competition for cash and prizes. Each band was given a thirty-minute window to set up, perform and strike. The faster a band sets up the more songs they can play. Each band performed between five and six songs, many of them original compositions. Organizer and president of Peak Events, Mike Anthony says that the bands are not rated by a panel of judges who score the groups’ musical ability. Instead, the audience votes for its favorite band via a text network, donated by Viaero Wireless in Elizabeth, which tabulates the results. “Ours is a pure popularity contest,” Anthony said. At the end of the evening, musicians from each band were called to the stage a final time to hold up a sign with the band’s name and a text number. Audience members were permitted one vote per device using either text messaging or email through a mobile website. At the end of the evening when the votes were tabulated, The Blush Band from Castle Rock won first place and took home half the door receipts. “The Easter weekend took a toll on our attendance,” Armstrong told the audience. “But we still managed to put together $400 for the Blush Band.” The original date for the event had been Feb. 21, but a winter storm forced Armstrong to postpone the event until last weekend. Along with the cash, the Blush Band received an invitation to perform at the Elizabeth Music Festival in August. Paradox, a Fort Collins band, placed second. The first High Planes Battle of the Bands
Lead singer John Sullivan and brother Paul Sullivan, on base, of the band Sibling Rivalry perform at the Elbert County Fairgrounds in Kiowa on April 4 in the second High Plains Battle of the Bands. Photos by Rick Gustafson was held in the winter of 2013 as a way for Anthony to encourage younger musicians to participate in the Elizabeth Music Festival, of which he is the organizer, and once again, Peak Events collaborated with Musicians in Action, a Colorado nonprofit that hosted a “Not-So-Silent-Auction.” Proceeds from the auction supported the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, a Douglas and Elbert County nonprofit organization that assists people in serious economic need or at risk for homelessness. MIA regularly collaborates with Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, the Gathering Place, Urban Peak and Senior Support Services. Peak Events is a production and management business run by Mike and Jami Anthony, who have been organizing events in Elbert and Douglas Counties and are founders of the Elizabeth Music & Art Festival, which is scheduled for Aug. 22.
The band Paradox, of Fort Collins, finished second at the Battle of the Bands. The lead singer is Makenzie Culver, on bass is Darren Van Winkle and on drums is Mason Culver.

He began playing with the Conservatory Orchestra (Denver Young Artists Orchestra) in fifth grade. “I attended the Rafael Mendez Brass Institute (held at the Lamont School of Music at DU) in 2010 and it was a life-changing experience,” he writes. In summer 2011, he toured in Europe with the DYAO’s top orchestra and has since attended the Summer Jazz Workshop at Eastman School of Music; attended Interlochen Arts Camp; performed multiple times at the Greeley Jazz Fest; and played in the World Youth Symphony Orchestra. He has played with all-state ensembles in Colorado and was a finalist in the 2014 National Trumpet Competition. He is now awaiting admissions decisions from colleges where he will study trumpet performance. The 90-member Denver Concert Band includes musicians who volunteer because of a love of music. Many are music educators. Jacinda Bouton of Lone Tree is in her 16th year as conductor and Ken Kopatich of Littleton, a retired educator, is associate conductor.

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 pubnlic schools, has been climbing since the early 2000s. A study released in 2013 by the Babson Survey Research Group found cthe 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 feducation, it has been confronted in re;cent years with stiff competition.
y hContinuing education 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. d “Until I get my degree in hand, I have a big worry.” - JIU officials say they remain dedicated to their students’ education. h Those who can complete their proegrams 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.”
Glenn R. Jones, founder of Jones International University, talks about plans for a 42-acre, mixed-use development in Centennial during an October press conference. On March 31, officials announced the school would be closing by early 2016. File photo
New terrain 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 Jones District is moving forward and the city is committed to the partnership we have in place for this mixed-use development.”
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.”
ABOUT GLENN R. JONES Some noteworthy items about the founder of Jones International University and the CEO of Jones International Ltd.: • Graduated from the University of Colorado law school in 1961. • Founded Jones Intercable Inc. in 1969. The tiny cable TV company grew to more than 1.5 million customers before it was sold to Comcast in 1999. • Launched a cable network in 1987 that enabled

Chaparral students kick off Wish Week Highlands Ranch boy is focus of fundraising efforts By Jane Reuter

As the Chaparral High School gym emptied of students after the boisterous April 3 Wish Week opening ceremony, Nicole Garrett brushed tears from her eyes. Her 4-year-old son Corbin, in remission after a fast and furious battle with cancer, is the focus of the school’s fundraising efforts. “When Corbin got diagnosed, we met the nurses and they become part of your family,” she said. “And now we have this new family; they’ve taken us in. They’ve had a hard year; they lost two students. But the love they share … they’ve pulled even closer together. It’s amazing.” Chaparral is among several Douglas County high schools that are jumping on the Wish Week bandwagon led by Rock Canyon. In its first year in 2014, Chaparral raised $23,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation — more than Rock Canyon did in its inaugural 2010 year. The Parker school was inspired by Rock Canyon, said senior class president Taylor Morris, who described the excitement surrounding the week of fundraisers as “overwhelming”.
“It’s the best week of the entire year,” she said. “Everyone just gives all they have for this.” While Chaparral hopes to best its 2014 tally, “It’s not about breaking records,” Morris said. “It’s about raising money for this cause.” Highlands Ranch resident Corbin Garrett is the focus of Chaparral’s Wish Week efforts. Last September, Corbin was uncharacteristically lethargic. His mother was rubbing his stomach in an effort to comfort him when she felt a mass. Doctors discovered a fast-growing tumor and diagnosed Corbin with Burkitt’s lymphoma. In January, after intensive chemotherapy, Corbin’s cancer was declared in remission. “Now he’s a normal 4-year-old boy,” said his father, David Garrett. “He was very, very sick and we were out of our element for a while. But he bounced back very quickly.” “We’re moving forward, trying to get our life back together,” Nicole Garrett said. “These programs and the school are making it so much easier for us.” Corbin, who seemed to bask in the attention showered on him by Chaparral’s students, has two wishes. “Legoland and Disney World!” he shouted, waving a plastic light saber in the air for emphasis. It costs about $7,000 to grant the average wish, which means that by week’s end, Chaparral students likely will grant not only Corbin’s wish but many others.
Chaparral High School student Mackenzie Purchase talks with Corbin Garrett in a waiting room at the school just before the Wish Week recipient was introduced to the Chaparral High School student body.

Fighting for Honor: Japanese Americans During World War II
Hank Wyeno will give a multi-media presentation and first-hand account of the Japanese American experience during World War II. 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.

Varela had the right answers and her business, The Smile in You, took home the top prize of the evening. Her business is a self-esteem magazine for girls. “It’s a magazine meant to encourage high school aged girls to be a positive influence and to live an encouraging life through a magazine written by and for teens,” She said. Varela will advance to the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Western Regional Saunders Scholars competition in Phoenix in May. She will compete with other local winners for sponsorship dollars in college scholarships, a fast-track application pass to apply to be on ABC’s “Shark Tank” and an all-expenses-paid trip to attend America’s Small Business Summit in Washington, D.C., courtesy of the United States Chamber of Commerce. “I was a little nervous, but I’m a dancer, so being on stage is something I’ve done for a while,” Varela said. “It was a great experience that I can hang on to for the rest of my life.” Brenden Coney, also a freshman at Castle View, pitched his business Elevation
April 9, 2015 Creations — a business that makes handcrafted wooden cutting boards and wine and kitchen accessories. “I was the last one to go, so I felt like there was a lot of pressure on me,” Coney said. “I was a little bit nervous.” Nine students in grades seven through 12 each had six minutes to pitch their business plans to prominent local members of the business community during the program’s annual Investor Panel Event. Based on the appeal and merit of the students’ plans and presentations, representatives from local companies determined the amount of funds to allocate to each business, awarding more than $7,000 in funding and prizes. The Investor Panel was made up of business people including Investor Level sponsor Woody Pastorius of MyWedding.com, along with Trudi Eisenhour (ConneXion Spot) and Scott Mace (Sears Hometown of Parker) who represented a number of Castle Rock Chamber YEA! business sponsors. Varela said she hopes to keep her business going throughout her high school years. “The whole idea behind it is getting people involved who are living the life we’re encouraging, and in high school I can write from my own experiences,” she said. “But as I move out of high school, I want to make sure we keep that conversation going for other girls.”

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.

For Sabercats, hits elusive early in season Castle View began league play this week By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle View’s baseball team took their swings April 1 at the hitter’s paradise known as Coors Field in downtown Denver. However, it didn’t help boost the Sabercats’ confidence as Castle View collected just two hits in a 6-3 non-league loss to Mullen. Castle View (2-6) entered the game with a .175 team batting average with hopes that the vast Coors Field outfield would maybe help the Sabercats get a few more hits. “I thought it would help,” said senior first baseman and leading hitter Zach Broussely. “The field is pretty big. There are a lot of gaps. We’ve just got to get some confidence at the plate. We’re trying to do too much. Hopefully we can turn things around.” Jake Henderson and Mitchell Bivona had the only two Castle View singles against four Mullen pitchers as the Sabercats saw their team batting average dip to .164. “We’re having some struggles right now but we’ll keep working at it,” said Castle View coach Shawn Wyss. “We’re going through a little bit of a slump right now. We have to
keep working our way through it.” Castle View’s bats came to life in a non-league game against Arvada West on April 4. Arvada West took that contest 21-15, but the Sabercats collected 15 hits. Castle View has to play small ball and manufacture runs with bunts, stolen bases and advancing runners any way possible. A walk, an error on a fielder’s choice and a squeeze bunt from Zach Witonsky produced Castle View’s first run against the Mustangs. Henderson followed with a run-scoring single. Bivona scored after a leadoff single, stole second, moved to third on a grounder to the pitcher and scored on an error. Broussely was hitless in three plate appearances against Mullen but still leads the team with a .320 batting average. “We have to do that,” added Wyss. “We’re not going to go out and hit three-run bombs and do things like that. We have to move runners, steal bases and do little things like that. But hey, the Kansas City Royals went to the World Series that way.” Castle View opened Continental League play April 6 against Regis Jesuit. “It’s early but it gets late real quick in the high school season,” admitted Wyss. “We’ve got to find answers pretty quick and make some changes in our approach at the plate. Hopefully we can get ourselves ready. There is still time.”

Ben Morgan of Highlands Ranch had to beat 63 others in the long jump. He was more than pleased with the win, but not with his distance of 23 feet. “ “It was not nearly my best meet, but my third this season to go at least 23 feet,” Morgan said. “It was a good day, though, and the key was to stay focused…I want to try
and get 24 (feet) before state.” The Mountain Range Invite could well be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, invitational of the season. What made the meet that much more interesting was each of the state’s classifications was represented by at least one of the 35 schools in the competition.

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.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
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.

OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT Pike National Forest Silent Hill Plan of Operations
PUBLIC NOTICE
The South Platte Ranger District is seeking public comment on a Plan of Operations (POO) for the Silent Hill project on behalf of operator Thomas Miller.
ROXBOROUGH WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT LITTLETON, COLORADO LIFT STATION STORAGE BUILDING
The project is located on the Silent Hill unpatented mining claim in Jefferson County, approximately 7.5 miles southwest of Deckers, CO, in Section 32 of Township 9 South, Range 71 West, 6th P.M, at an elevation of approximately 7,800 feet.
REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATION FOR DESIGN-BUILDERS
The proposal is to authorize Thomas Hill (Operator) a Plan of Operations to explore for and mine amazonite, smoky quartz, and other pegmatite minerals on the Silent Hill claim in the North Twin Creek area of the South Platte Ranger District. The Operator proposes to use one John Deere 135 excavator with a 1-yard bucket, or equivalent, to disturb a maximum surface area of 300 ft. x 100 ft., with the open pit excavation dimensions of 60 ft. x 30 ft. x 20 ft. Total disturbance will not exceed 2 acres total. The claim will be accessed from an existing National Forest System Road (NFSR 211). The route to the claim is an historic route that was decommissioned after the Hayman fire; however, the route is still visible. No construction is planned for the route, and disturbance will be minimal in order to prevent creating an attractive nuisance for both the Forest Service and Mr. Miller’s operation. The length of the route used is approximately 1 mile in length. The excavator will be walked in, one trip in and one trip out anticipated, and a pickup truck used to haul fuel to and from the excavator. The Operator is proposing to remove topsoil to be placed in a separate pile, surrounded by silt fencing to control erosion. Once the pit is mined out, the topsoil will be restored using the approved site-specific seed mix recommended by the Forest Service for the reseeding. Other aspects of the proposal include protective fencing and signing to be erected as necessary for safety. Materials and supplies will include shovels, picks, small hammers, screwdrivers, buckets, safety hats and goggles, and reclamation seed. No chemicals will be used, and fuel will be stored in approved containers and removed daily. Trees will be removed only if they are causing a possible hazard. There will be no new construction or permanent structures. One passenger vehicle will be parked on site during daily operations. Topsoil will be segregated and temporarily stored, waste rock will be used as part of the backfill and any large boulders will be used during final reclamation. Only pegmatite structure minerals will be removed from the site. There will be no tailings and no milling. No blasting or drilling will occur. There will be no suction dredging or settling ponds. Mechanized equipment will be used for no more than 30 days. Mechanized equipment will be used late in the season to return any remaining material to the excavation, and to re-contour the road. The prospect pit will be bermed to prevent any runoff. The proposed action description and other information are available for review at the South Platte Ranger District. Additional information regarding this action can be obtained from: Amy Titterington, (719) 836-2031, amyjtitterington@fs.fed.us. How to Comment and Timeframe Written, facsimile, hand-delivered, oral, and electronic comments concerning this action will be accepted for 30 calendar days following the publication of this notice in the Douglas County News-Press. The publication date in the newspaper of record is the exclusive means for calculating the comment period for this analysis.
