Trooper awards come with praise Ceremony honors state patrol heroics in 2014 By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Proud families and applauding colleagues packed a ceremony dedicated to Colorado State Patrol troopers who put their lives on the line. Hundreds gathered in the Great Hall at the Liniger Building at CU South Denver April 2, with Trooper Jeff Goodwin retelling the incredible stories behind the awards. Bellamann Hee, the trooper who was injured during a 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.

Speakers at Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce’s annual economic breakfast presented attendees with news as bright as the sunny late-March day. “We are outperforming the national economy,” said Henry Sobonet, director of the governor’s office of planning and budgeting. “We’ve attracted more people, (increased) oil and gas development and we’ve done a great job of diversifying the economy.” Sobonet and Andrew Hancock, FirstBank market president, were featured speakers for the annual event attended March 31 by about 130 people at the Denver Marriott South hotel in Lone Tree. Though neither man presented statistics specific to Lone Tree or Douglas County, Sobonet said the area’s forward momentum is well known. “There is visual evidence this is contributing to the Front Range (economic) activity,” he said. “Obviously it’s doing very well. We’ve had a couple of major job announcements down here.” Ironically, lower gas prices are drawing down another source of Colorado’s economic fuel. The state is waiting to see the impact on its booming oil and gas economy, but Sobonet said they are cautiously optimistic. “How can low-energy prices be bad for the economy?” he said. “Lots of job growth Economy continues on Page 18

The City of Lone Tree will restripe two major streets late this summer or early in the fall to add dedicated bicycle lanes. The streets include Yosemite Street from Lincoln Avenue north to Park Meadows Drive and a portion of RidgeGate Parkway that includes both roundabouts.

The streets will include 5- to 6-foot-wide bike lanes, and where possible, will also have dedicated bicycle turn lanes and 3.5-foot-wide buffer lanes to further separate motorized vehicles from bicycles. The work is the first phase of improvements recommended in the city’s Walk and Wheel Plan, which recommends ways to make the city more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. The study recommends a total of $8.5 million in enhancements, though city council members agreed they will not spend that much. Plans to add bicycle lanes to Lincoln Avenue, which cyclists have said is one of the most dangerous streets in Lone Tree, are still in the works but delayed. That’s in part because Lincoln Avenue is narrower in sections than Yosemite or RidgeGate, and more heavily traveled.

Future plans also call for a 10-foot-wide trail along Lincoln Avenue, designed for dog walkers, families with strollers and bicyclists who ride at slower speeds than on-street cyclists. The study also recommends adding flashing strobe lights to ensure safer crossings at several trail intersections, including the C470 trail at Acres Green Drive, the Willow Creek Trail at Park Meadows Drive, on Heritage Hills Circle near Lone Tree Elementary and on RidgeGate Parkway at Commons Street and Park Meadows Boulevard.

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.

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.

Intoxication can’t be used as defense Chase suspect faces trial in Douglas County By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.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 prosecuting attorney’s motion to strike voluntary intoxication as a defense. Stone’s jury trial is scheduled from April 21 to May 1 in Douglas County District Court. He has pleaded not guilty to multiple counts that include kidnapping and vehicular assault. During the March 12, 2014 morning rush hour, Stone allegedly stole multiple vehicles throughout the metro area — including one in Longmont with a 4-year-old child inside — and eluded police for 75 miles before crashing on Lincoln Avenue just west of Parker’s town limits. During his flight, he struck and injured a Colorado State Patrol trooper. The chase was broadcast live on television by an 850 KOA news helicopter. A toxicology test showed Stone tested 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 Stone 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 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.

Foundation invests, builds for future Solomon Foundation bringing headquarters, 20 jobs to Parker By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com A leading church extension fund is establishing its national headquarters in Parker. Solomon Foundation, a nonprofit that provides loans to religious organizations to build churches, is moving from the Meridian International Business Center near Lincoln Avenue and Interstate 25 to the northeast corner of Jordan Road and Pine Lane. Construction began last June on the 60,000-square-foot Solomon Centre, a building that will also be the new home for Southeast Christian Church’s ministry offices and its food bank, SECOR, and potentially other nonprofits in the future. The Solomon Foundation expects to move in this June.

What the foundation does

The Solomon Foundation provides funding for the future expansion of buildings to “facilitate the growth of the Restoration Movement churches and Churches of Christ all across America,” according to planning documents. It has loaned out more than $185 million in less than four years, said Doug Crozier, chief executive officer of The Solomon Foundation. It provided funding for 80 projects in 25 states. The loans are made with money invested by congregants at Southeast Christian Church and other churches falling under the Restoration Christian Churches umbrella. The 501(c)3’s website lists investment opportunities, including retirement options, that enable congregants to “earn a competitive return” while impacting the church at the same time.

Talented workforce lures foundation to Parker

The Solomon Foundation is bringing 20 full-time jobs to Parker, but it has room for 32 employees in the new building. The nonprofit has plans to hire 12 financial services positions in the coming years as it expands. An educated local workforce was part of the reason why The Solomon Foundation relocated its headquarters to Parker, Crozier said. “The cost of living was a positive thing, FinalBizCards

Changing the landscape

The Solomon Centre is directly north of Southeast Christian Church and has become a visible development along a heavily used section of Jordan Road. When the two-story project was recommended for approval during a March 2014 planning commission meeting, commissioner John Howe said there is an “ideal buffer” between nearby apartments and the church, and said the “new tenants will bring solid business opportunities to the daytime economy for the town.” The foundation is “creating an excellent building that will fit into the neighborhood,” said Crozier, who was the president of a church development fund that helped Southeast Christian Church with every phase of its physical development. Because of anticipated traffic impacts, a crosswalk with a pedestrian-activated signal will be added on Pine Lane, roughly 100 yards east of Jordan Road. Southeast Christian Church will house its counseling center and youth activities in The Solomon Centre in addition to its ministry offices.

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 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.

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.

RTD fare changes draw opposition Officials hear feedback on latest proposals

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Judging from an April 2 public hearing, residents are turning thumbs down on the current RTD fare change proposals. The meeting in the Englewood Public Library was one of 16 public hearings the Regional Transportation District held to gather comments about the proposed fare changes. RTD says the meetings are intended to help the agency reach the goal of developing a “fair, equitable and cost-effective fare structure.” Doug MacLeod represented RTD and narrated a 20-minute PowerPoint presentation highlighting the fare study proposals to open the meeting. The presentation showed examples of the proposal. For example, increases in one-way fares would go from $2.25 to $2.60 for local rides, from $4 to $4.50 for express rides and from $5 to $5.50 for regional rides. The increases would also apply to passes. For example, the cost of a monthly pass would increase from $79 to $104. The proposed timeline is to present the proposals to the RTD Board of Directors for a vote either later this month or at a meeting in May. If the board approves the proposals, all fare changes will be effective early next year. A dozen people spoke at the hearing in Englewood. All 12 expressed concerns and opposed the fare proposals that would increase the cost of using public transportation. Tom Grushka was one of the residents speaking in opposition to the new fares. “The fare increases don’t make sense,” the Highlands Ranch resident said and he had his wife hold up a chart. “This chart shows RTD has increased fares 29 percent in the last few years. That is three or four time the

rate of inflation.” His wife, Mary, objected to the proposal to double fares for AccessA-Ride. She said the higher fares will burden those who use the service and that public transportation should be affordable for customers of paratransit — transportation services for people with disabilities. Chris Harmon said the service RTD provides concerns him. He said he lives nine miles from work and Google Maps say the trip will take 15 minutes by car, one hour by bike and an hour and 15 minutes by bus. He said mak-

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.

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 released in 2013 by the Babson Sur-

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

• 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 college students to take courses via TV.

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

vey 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.

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. Moynihan used to note. All facts are subject 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

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

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, commercial and retail space when it is completed over a period of 20 years or

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.”

Bill organizes study group for body-worn cameras By Amy Woodward

awoodward@colorado communitymedia.com Lawmakers have proposed a slew of bills addressing law enforcement procedures, including the creation of a policy group and grant program for police body-worn cameras. In January, 170 police agencies were surveyed and it was found that 47 of those agencies use body-worn cameras to some degree, according to Lone Tree Police Chief Jeff Streeter. A bill proposed by Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver, and Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Englewood, creates a policy group made up of law enforcement officials as well as district attorneys and public residents who would draft policy recommendations for law enforcement agencies who want to deploy bodyworn cameras. Recommendations presented to the

general assembly in 2016 would be used as a guideline for law enforcement agencies who may want to apply for a grant to help purchase cameras. “Public confidence in our police agencies is low,” said Williams. “Without public support the difficulty of the law enforcement becomes even harder,” she said. “The use of technology can improve police practices and build community trust and legitimacy.” The grant program would be administered by the Department of Public Safety. “From the sheriff’s perspective there are an awful lot of things about this bill that we’re really pretty excited about,” said Chad Day, representative for the County Sheriffs of Colorado. “Bodyworn cameras are a great option for a tool for law enforcement to have … it also provides some extra accountably for deputies and officers.”

A LOOK AT THE BILLS HB15-1290 Rep. Joe Salazar and Rep. Daneya Esgar — Stop Police Interference Cop Incident Recordings

— Peace Officer Training Improvements

Summary: Bill creates a private right of action against a law enforcement agency if a person records an incident involving a peace officer and a peace officer destroys the recording or seizes the recording without receiving consent or obtaining a warrant or if the peace officer intentionally interferes with the recording or retaliates against the person making the recording. The person who recorded the incident is entitled to actual damages, a civil penalty of $15,000, and attorney fees and costs.

What this bill does: Currently there are 20 members of the peace officers standards and training board. The bill expands the membership to 24 members by adding four more lay members to the P.O.S.T. board. The bill requires the governor to consider an applicant’s age, gender, race, professional experience and geographic location when making appointments to the board.

Vote: bill laid over for future action What they said: “This bill is intended to protect our first amendment right to record police officers in a public place and to uphold our fourth and 14th amendment rights when it comes to protections against seizure or destruction of recordings and or property,” said Rep. Daneya Esgar, D-Pueblo. HB15-1287 Rep. Angela Williams and Rep. John Cooke

Vote: Passed 13-0 What they said: “It is vital that law enforcement provides training that recognizes the unique needs and characteristics of minority communities; whether they are victims, witnesses of crimes, subjects of stops or criminal suspects,” said Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver.

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

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. Quang Ho is a well-known Denver artist, who was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the U.S. at age 12 in 1975. He is now a U.S. citizen and successful artist internationally.

As a partner of the Colorado Rockies, The Tavern Hospitality Group has created ways to bring some fun to the baseball season. Rockies tickets will be given away every Monday during happy hour at all neighborhood Taverns. Tavern Downtown has a buy-one-get-one draft beer special with a same-day Rockies ticket. And at Tavern Ballpark in Coors Field, Tavern will give $1,000 to a lucky winner if the Rockies hit a home run in the first inning. At all Taverns (excluding Ballpark and Mile High), guests can win Rockies tickets during Rockies Happy Hour Ticket Giveaway from 3 to 7 p.m. Mondays. Guests can enter every Monday. During the 2014 season, Tavern gave away almost 10,000 tickets. Tavern locations include Littleton, Denver Tech Center, Lowry, Downtown and more. Tavern Hospitality Group owner Frank Schultz said, “Rockies season brings a lot of fans to our locations to watch the games, especially when spring fever kicks in and people want to hang out with friends on our patios. Our partnership with the Rockies allows us to add to those guest experiences and give them another reason to spend some time with us.” For additional information, visit www. tavernhg.com.

American Indian eatery opens

The metro area now has two locations of the American Indian-owned and -operated Tocabe restaurants. The newest location opened on March 7 in Greenwood Village. Traditionally, Americans have little understanding of food in the American Indian culture. This fact was a main motivation in creating Tocabe. Owner Ben Jacobs and his team wanted to help bring a voice to what Native food can be in today’s world. Tocabe’s Berkeley neighborhood location was featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” in 2011. Tocabe’s Berkeley location is at 3536 W. 44th Ave., 720-524-8282. The Greenwood Village restaurant is at 8181 E. Arapahoe Road, Suite C, 720-485-6738.

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 con-

cert 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 Spinks 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.

Our updated design aesthetic allows guests to feel like they’re visiting a mountain retreat with a city feel.” Local interior architectural design firm Greenwood & Black designed the overhaul of the hotel’s open and bright lobby and gathering spaces. With local artists filling the halls and covering the walls with various pieces, guests can now enjoy playful Western references throughout the striking new lobby and meeting areas at every turn.

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.

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.

April 9, 2015 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. Distinguished Service Award: Trooper Colin Remillard, who climbed down a steep embankment to reach a woman whose vehicle had gone off the road. Life Saving Award: Sgt. Philip Gurley and Sgt. Coby Smart, who helped stop the bleeding of a trooper who had been shot. They also directed other troopers to the suspect, who was apprehended. Life Saving Award: Sgt.

is related to oil and gas. We’ve seen the number of (oil) rigs drop substantially. (But) we’ve seen prices even lower than we have right now where we didn’t see completely adverse conditions.” “We have a fairly in-depth analysis of what we think is going to happen. Eventually, this stuff will come out of the ground. So it’s just for how long is this delayed?” The state anticipates the gas and oil industry recovery beginning in early 2016. Hancock talked about FirstBank’s conservative philosophy, which extended to its decision to steer clear of subprime mortgages and has paid off for the company. The 122-bank company with branches in three states is growing along with the rest of Colorado. “We are focused on Colorado, so Colorado improving affects us,” he said. Like many companies, it’s working to

keep up with technology. In 2013-14, FirstBank saw a dramatic increase in mobile deposits and person-to-person transfers. “I can remember when we had a call center and we thought that was the best thing in the world,” Hancock said. “It’s all becoming electronic. Internet and mobile logins are the way to go. Keeping up with those channels and providing services has been a huge focus and investment for our bank.” That’s tied to unrelenting online banking security concerns. “Cyber security has emerged as perhaps the greatest long-term risk facing the financial industry,” Hancock said. “FirstBank is investing heavily to stay ahead of this everpresent danger.” Neither man sees an immediate solution to banking challenges facing the marijuana industry. Sobonet said the state is recording about $800 million in retail sales annually. Banking “is a dilemma right now because it is a violation of the federal law,” Hancock said. “We can’t allow them to deposit.”

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,”

Class: Senior

few games than we did last year but we’re giving up more. Offensively we’re getting goals from a lot of different people. That’s one thing we weren’t doing last year.”

Key stats: 16.4 points per game, 5.2 assists per game, 1.6 steals per game And one: Subart, who made 41 percent of his 3-point attempts in leading a fast-paced attack, is heading to Western State to play basketball.

Jamie Tatum and Dakota Wendell also found the net for the Jaguars. Ponderosa’s Kennedy Grandpre scored their only goal. Rock Canyon 2, Chaparral 1 - Rock Canyon’s pursuit of a top-10 national ranking survived a scare as the Jaguars scored once in each half to knock off the Wolverines at Chaparral on March 31.

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.

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.
