Holocaust survivor urges world to fight injustice
Movement calls for people to shout out against injustice
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.

‘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

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.
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. Although cell phone use, including texting, — is the most troubling, Number of drivers Cole said, distracted in the U.S. using a driving is not limited cell phone or other to that.

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.”
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 Auschwitz-Birkenau, 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.

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.

Ben arrives in America. He married his wife, Jean, circa 1950. They now reside in Las Vegas. They raised two daughters, and have four grandchildren and one greatgrandchild.

Liberation. “Isaac and I barely stood there hanging on to each other, too numb to move and too stunned to even think. We watched as two young, clean and healthy American soldiers approached us. 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. Ben and Lola were reunited.

What it takes to move a bookstore Tattered Cover relocates from Highlands Ranch to Littleton
OLD SHELVES CLEARED OF MERCHANDISE
BOXED UP AND READY TO GO

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.

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.

Church is ‘Blessed to be a Blessing’ $12,000 given to congregation to encourage generosity By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
D
uring Mountainview Christian Church’s March 15 and 16 weekend services, pastor Ken Hensley gave sealed envelopes to the congregation as part of a series called “The Habits of Jesus.” Inside the envelopes were a $50 bill, a letter and a blessing card. It became known as the Blessed to be a Blessing campaign. One of Jesus’ habits was generosity, Hensley said. “It was a surprise twist to the message,” he said. “The idea was to get people involved in the act of being generous instead of being selfish with what God has given us.” A total of $12,000 was given to the congregation — about 200 families — for the Blessed to be a Blessing campaign. The only guideline the people had for their $50 was that it had to be given away, Hensley said. “It engaged them in a different way,” he said, “a blessing of being able to help someone.” And it happened almost immediately, Hensley said. By Monday, people were posting pictures on social media of how they gave the money away. The nondenominational church, located in Highlands Ranch near the intersection of Highlands Ranch Parkway and Broadway, “is here to serve people and make a difference in the community,” Hensley said. The Blessed to be a Blessing campaign may not have impacted a large number of people, he said, but it “made a lot of small differences.” “The big difference it made,” Hensley said, “was inside the person giving away the $50. Jesus said, ‘it’s more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING STORIES “A man was holding a sign that said ‘Need Work.’ I was moved to give him the $50.” — Woody Harrald (near Santa Fe and Oxford)
“We gave 1,000 hryvnia (about $40) to a couple to pay for a month’s care in the hospice for the man’s mother.” — Joe and Jen Brown (Ukraine)
“Gave our $50 to an older couple who has been like family to me since I was born. They were missionaries their whole life and they still serve others and bring people into their home. They are moving next month and are worried about the costs. So we left the $50 in an envelope on their front door.” — Ashton Griggs
“We gave a Starbucks gift card to a serviceman, and sent a grocery gift card to Caring Bridge and asked that it be given to a single mom.”
“I was getting my oil changed at the car dealership and overheard a young man being told about many things wrong with his car. They were listing off all the repairs needed, and how much it was going to cost. I felt so awful, (so) I got out the money and card and approached him and said that I was sorry that he was getting such bad news, and that I hope ‘this’ helps make his day better.” — The Moran Family
— Matt and Jill Hubbard “Gave it to a needy neighbor who moved here from California and adopted two toddlers. She has been jobless and selling her things to pay the bills.”
Mountainview Christian Church in Highlands Ranch gave its congregation $12,000 in $50 increments on March 15 and 16 for the Blessed to be a Blessing campaign. Pictured is what one family decided to give away as a blessing-- a pair of zoo passes. People were able to choose any benefactor they wanted, pastor Ken Hensley said, with the only guideline being that they give the $50 away. Courtesy photos

As they passed our table, I noticed one of the family members was using bilateral gaiting crutches to walk. I gave them the $50 and a card, and told them about this blessing experience.”

NEWS IN A HURRY County accepting applications for disability grants
Douglas County is accepting grant applications through May 1 for projects that address the needs of residents with developmental disabilities.

Grants typically range between $1,000 and $25,000 and are awarded to projects and services that demonstrate innovative and collaborative efforts, as well as best practice in serving those with developmental disabilities. This year, requests for respite (in home or on site), employment, recreation/community access and day program scholarships will be considered. Following the review of applications, oral presentations may be scheduled during the month of May. All successful proposals must be approved the Board of Douglas County Commissioners.

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 welcomehome 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 Caprice 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.

Holocaust Continued from Page 1
“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
April 9, 2015
need every human being to shout out.” Lesser feels it is his life’s mission to educate 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-shoutout.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 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 shout-out is like a pledge, a reminder, that they are against hatred.”
Ben Lesser, Holocaust survivor and author, gave two presentations to STEM School and Academy’s sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students March 30 and 31. Each night, a maximum capacity crowd of 240 people filled the Hilton Garden Inn’s Grand Ballroom in Highlands Ranch. Photo by Christy Steadman

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
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 to Tehran is eye-opening.

Students help Highlands Ranch kid with wish Highlands Ranch boy is focus of fundraising efforts By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com 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.

EGG-CELLENT EASTER HUNT Highlands Ranch families enjoy a sunny day at Northridge Mother Nature provided a bright, sunny day for the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Easter egg hunt, which this year took place April 4 at Northridge Park. Children ages 1-11 had a lot of fun hunting for eggs, and everybody enjoyed visiting with the Easter bunny and Highlands Ranch horses, Bella and Buster—who made an appearance decked out in their best Easter attire.

Bennet Continued from Page 8
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

full of people who are friendly, cultured and convinced that the U. S. is their natural ally.” All of us are entitled to an opinion but none is entitled to “our facts,” as senator Moynihan used to note. All facts are subject
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. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.
to verification and it may be in our interest to search for peaceful solutions rather than simply fomenting conflict and war. If we do unto others as we would have them do unto us, we may increase the chances for peace rather than the loss of life and the destruction of property. I think citizens deserve better than Mr. Coffman’s assertions. Henry M. Barlow Highlands Ranch

Trooper awards come with praise Ceremony honors state patrol heroics in 2014
MORE ON THE HONOREES Distinguished Service Award: Sgt. Jared Rapp and Trooper Adam Jennings, who neutralized a situation in which a suicidal man was threatening himself and responding law enforcement officers.
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 high-speed 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. FinalBizCards

Online school bows out after leading way Jones International University, based in Centennial, has been hit with declining enrollment
ABOUT GLENN R. JONES Some noteworthy items about the founder of Jones International University and the CEO of Jones International Ltd.:
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 re-

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 leased 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.
Continuing 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. “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.”
New terrain
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.”
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,
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.”

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

The Museum of Outdoor art exhibits her work near the fountain by Englewood Civic Center. Brown Cannon’s photographic images of horses reveal his reverence for the natural world. He prints some in epic sizes. He lives in Bend, Oregon, and travels throughout the world seeking images to photograph.

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.

Genealogical Society to meet
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Each spring, the Denver Concert Band chooses a young musician from a group of competitors to perform in its Young Artist Concert. This year’s show will be at 2 p.m. April 19 at Lone Tree Arts Center, and the 2015 winner is trumpeter Stephen Spinks, who attends Holy Family High School in Broomfield. He will perform Alexander Arutunian’s “Trumpet Concerto” with the band, in a concert titled “Accent on Youth.” Also on the program are other numbers that should appeal to children: “Watchman, Tell us of the Night,” by Camphouse; selections from “Into the Woods,” by Sondheim; “Famishius Fantasticus,” by Markowski; “A Childhood Remembered,” by Galante; “Aquarium,” by John de Meij; “The Seal Lullabye,” by Whitacre; “A Boy’s Dream,” by Bocook; and “The Screamer,” by Fred Jewell.
Spinks started playing a piano at age 5 and switched to trumpet after finishing second grade in Dawn Kramer’s Studio. 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.

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.

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.

Jaguars counting on balanced attack Rock Canyon, the CHSAANow.com’s top-ranked girls Class 5A soccer team, has a problem, one most teams would fancy. “Winning builds confidence while you are trying to figure out what your best combination of players are,” said Rock Canyon coach Mat Henbest. “That’s what we’re struggling to figure out. We have a lot of good players. It’s a good problem to have. “We’re still trying to figure out what our identity is but we know we are one of the better teams in the state. We’ve just got to keep moving forward and keep on improving.” The Jaguars defeated Chaparral, 2-1, in a March 31 Continental League game at Sports Authority Stadium. Rock Canyon has a good blend of underclassmen and seniors, plus balanced scoring. Senior Paige Von Bank has five goals and 14 points to lead the Jaguars. Junior Megan Pitman and sophomore Kayte Mundwiller each have three goals for Rock Canyon, which beat Ponderosa 4-1 on April 2 to swell its record to 7-0-0 and 4-00 in the Continental League. “The seniors are role models,” said Mundwiller. “They definitely inspire us, not only them but the juniors and even the freshmen. We work hard. We’re all there for each other.” Pitman scored Rock Canyon’s first goal against Chaparral, Mundwiller made the score 2-0 and it was her second-half goal that turned out to be the decisive tally. “The potential of this team is better than what we are showing at this point,”

Mountain Vista tennis player poised for title run No. 2 singles star Kendra Lavallee relishes her role By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Mountain Vista’s Kendra Lavallee has no problem playing second fiddle. Lavallee, a junior, played No. 1 singles and qualified for the state tennis tournament two years ago as a freshman. With the arrival of Casey Zhong, Lavalee willingly accepted the role as Vista’s No. 2 singles player last year and qualified for the state tourney. “It’s not disappointing at all to play No. 2 singles,” confessed Lavallee. “We have Casey Zhong, who is one year younger than me, and she’s a sectionally ranked player so I don’t mind playing No. 2 because I can work on different things and get to state. That’s my goal.” Lavallee is unbeaten so far this season at No. 2 singles and notched a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Legend’s Kara Wachsmann in a Continental League match on March 31. Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan admires the way Lavallee accepted her role as the No. 2 singles player. “They played a challenge match, and Kendra understood that Casey beat her and as a
team player went to No. 2 singles and never said anything else about it,” said Flanigan. “Last year Kendra was first team all-conference and beat everybody in league. “She had a really bad draw at state, but I feel like Kendra last year was probably the third best player in the state at No. 2 singles. The amazing part is those two girls that were ahead of her were both seniors. The two girls she lost to are both gone. She has the best shot of anybody of making a run and winning the state championship.” Lavallee hits her backhand with authority and also can rip forehand winners. “I’m working on hitting deep and hitting cross court shots to penetrate my opponent so I can come to the net, because I really like to finish points at the net,” she said. “My backhand is my favorite shot.” Zhong was playing in a Las Vegas tournament and missed the match against Legend, which gave Flanigan a chance to shine the spotlight on Lavallee. “With her starting as a freshman, being the No. 1 singles player and doing what she’s done for us, being a team leader, I think the world of her,” he said. “She’s probably going to go undefeated this year, “She has improved drastically. She works really hard. She works with Dan Gonzalez over at Northridge a lot. I love coaching her. She’s really easy to coach. She’s someone to bounce ideas off of, she’s all about tennis.
Gabi Sasia doesn’t want to back into the Class 5A state swimming championships and has more than a month to get ready. Sasia, a junior who attends Stem High and Academy in Highlands Ranch, has been slowed by a strained back but has still been swimming and winning for the Highlands Ranch co-op boys swim team while trying to recuperate his back. “My doctor said I have a strained back,” said Sasia. “I have no idea how it happened. This season there have been a lot of ups and downs. I got injured, and there’s been a lot of time off so that has kind of pulled me back.” Sasia stayed out of the pool for a week during spring break to rest his back and have his wisdom teeth pulled. “Right now I’m not physically ready, but I feel like I’m getting better mentally,” said Sasia. “My body is recuperating very slowly but in my mind I feel like I can go faster without my injuries so I just kind of put that aside. “I try to use more of my core muscles. Using my abs more and my core muscles it helps build momentum going in and out of the wall. I’ve learned during all this.” Sasia’s best times of the season are 47.50 in the 100-yard freestyle, 150.67 in the 200 freestyle, 1:00.27 in the 100 breaststroke and 2.00.03 in the 200 IM. In his two specialty events, Sasia recorded a 50.59 in the 100 butterfly and 51.13 in the 100 backstroke, which were recorded in the Coaches Dick Rush Memorial Invitational March 21, just days after he first felt his back strain. He was fourth in both those events last year at the state meet despite suffering from a severe sinus infection.

This spring’s Class 5A state meet will be held May 15-16 at the Air Force Academy, and Sasia is determined to be ready. “Gabi is awesome, he’s amazing,” said Highlands Ranch coach Christina Kwon. “He’s such a hard worker. He’s not feeling well right now. He gets out of the water, and it’s like, so `What did you think? I think this felt good, this wasn’t good but I want to fix this for next week.’ He’s constantly trying to improve. “His freshman year he was sort of like a deer in the headlights. Sophomore year he stepped it up another level. Unfortunately before state he was so sick. This year we’re just trying to keep him healthy.” Kwon has told Sasia not to aggravate his strained back, and in races prior to the state meet if it is not close or if he is ahead, just pull back a little bit. “I have enough time to recuperate before state,” said Sasia. “Hopefully this injury is not a long-term injury. I want to get first in my main events at state. That’s my main goal this season, and maybe get some more junior national times. That gets me closer to my goal, which is the Olympic trials.” Sasia’s parents encouraged him to start swimming when he was 8.
