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.

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 Stone 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 Stone continues on Page 11
Chaparral students kick off Wish Week Highlands Ranch boy is focus of fundraising efforts By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.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.” Wish continues on Page 11

Parker Recreation Director Jim Cleveland looks in on the progress being made on the new pool expansion at the Parker Recreation Center April 1. The new pool, with a lazy river and zero-depth entry, opens in late July. Photos by Chris Michlewicz it was more utilitarian,” Cleveland says of the old design.
Pool expansion The final upgrade will open in late July or early August. Workers recently finished installing rebar and hanging a massive fan over the new pool, which will feature zero-depth entry with a play station, lap lanes, a lazy river and a new waterslide.
Nearby is a warm-water therapy pool for seniors, children and those recovering from injuries. Perhaps the most unique element of the new pool area is a rockclimbing wall. “On that back wall will be an aquatic climbing wall, one of the only ones in the state, and there’s a deep pool below it, so you can climb up and eventually fall back into the water,” Cleveland said.
Class/party rooms
Near the front desk is a children’s education and party room that’s double the size of the old room. Another large multipurpose room off the lobby can accommodate a range of activities and classes, of which the Parker Rec Center offers 200 per seasonal brochure. “We will continue to offer a lot of Rec Center continues on Page 3

…incorporating something new. “We tried to pioneer a couple of different elements. Whether it’s in a park or a facility, we want to provide a unique destination and attractions that people don’t see everywhere they go.”
New fitness studio
A pristine fitness studio built above the expanded front offers another room to program classes and a large space to include more participants. With an automated track system that helps store heavy bags when they are not in use, the room will have a ballet bar and wall mirror. “(It can host) any type of fitness activity. It’s wide open for any group from fitness classes to Silver Sneakers to yoga and mat pilates,” said Mary Colton, assistant director of programs for the Parker Parks and Recreation Department.
…visits during the year-long construction project. “We have had an upsurge in memberships over the last six months. We had expected about a 20 percent dip, but instead we had a 20-percent increase over the last year, so we were pleasantly surprised. Hopefully it’s affirmation that what we’re doing is the right thing and people are excited to participate in the new and improved Parker Rec Center.”
New half gym
To keep up with the popularity of court sports, the Parker Recreation now has a triple gymnasium. Basketball, volleyball and pickleball “continue to be our heaviest growth sports,” Cleveland said. The Parker Fieldhouse, which has four courts in its gymnasium, is inundated on weekdays by pickleball-playing seniors. “It’s important to have this half gym to alleviate some of the demand,” the recreation director said. “It doesn’t go away. It just continues.”
Recreation director Jim Cleveland, right, inspects a new fitness room at the Parker Recreation Center April 1 while project administrator Dennis Trapp looks out at the progress on a pool expansion.
…seizing the opportunity. “We try capture every age and demographic group. We selected the most elaborate plan because we had one shot to do this and do it right. We want to make the most of the funds available to make the most of the facility.”

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-squarefoot Solomon Centre, a building that will also be the new home for Southeast To see a video of the conChristian Church’s struction, go to ministry offices and www.ParkerChronicle.net its food bank, SECOR, and potentially other nonprofits in the future.

The loans are made with money invested by congregants at Southeast Christian Church and other churches falling under the Restoration Christian Churches umbrella.

full-time jobs to Parker, but it has room for 32 employees in the new building. The nonprofit has plans to hire 12 financial services positions in the coming years as it expands. An educated local workforce was part of the reason why The Solomon Foundation relocated its headquarters to Parker, Crozier said. “The cost of living was a positive thing, and the quality of life and the ability to hire excellent workers in the marketplace,” said Crozier, who bought a home in the Timbers south of Parker.

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.
A worker puts the finishing touches on the front windows of the new, 60,000 square-foot Solomon Foundation headquarters building at Jordan Road and Pine Lane. 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.

Officials spotlight distracted driving By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.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 pay-
ing 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 — Number the popularity of the devices, of drivers in the U.S. Cole said. using a cell phone or “Very simple advice,” he other electronic device said, “is put down the phone. while driving at any given Drive now, use cell phones daylight moment. later.” — Number of The No. 1 category of comseconds a driver’s eyes are plaints the Douglas County diverted while sending or Sheriff’s Office receives from receiving a text message. the public is related to trafThis is enough time to fic, spokesman Ron Hanavan drive the length of a said. football field at 55 MPH.

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. Thanks to the 2001 voter-approved Douglas County Mill Levy, approximately $2.7 million has been awarded for local programs supporting individuals with developmental disabilities since 2002. 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.

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.”

Instructor’s career path keeps her close to kids Preschool staffer lauded as 2015 Elementary Educator By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com As Jennifer Morris’ own children grow closer to adulthood, she realizes even more clearly the wonders of the early years. “It makes me appreciate those little kids even that much more,” said Morris, a preschool teacher at Parker’s Iron Horse Elementary Preschool, who recently won an Apple Award as Douglas County School District’s Elementary Educator of the Year. “What I love about the age is their enthusiasm. They are just happy
to learn, and they are like sponges. They love everything you teach them.” The mother of three teenagers, Morris gets to indulge her delight in children both at home and at work. Though she majored in child development and knew her career would involve children, it’s taken Morris time to find the right job. Morris “I always loved kids but after college, I worked in the day care industry; I didn’t love it,” said the University of Wyoming graduate and Colorado native. “I didn’t feel like I was teaching kids much.” Morris took a break from work to stay home with her children, but when the youngest started kindergarten, she went back to work; this time, for the Douglas
County School District. As an early childhood instructor, she’s feels a new sense of satisfaction. “We’re teaching kids social skills, how to be good civilians, and how to work together,” she said. “Communicating is huge.” Huge, but not easy. About half of Morris’ charges are on individualized education programs for speech and language, which means they have unique learning styles and issues. “So communication is hard,” she said. “But we do song, dance, sign language and writing and art. A lot of times we follow their lead.” Morris’ challenges are complicated by the children’s ages, which range from 2 to 5. “It’s a big age difference in one classroom,” she said. “You have different levels of development. We have kids that are
ready for kindergarten; they’ve learned how to sit and listen and when it’s appropriate to talk. And then we have babies who are log rolling across the floor. “So we give kids different ways to learn and be successful. You have to be really flexible, and you can’t have one standard for the classroom. It teaches all of the kids some tolerance, and it teaches them empathy.” Morris’ career path isn’t done climbing, however. During her off-hours, she’s taking classes to earn her master’s degree at the University of Colorado-Denver. She plans to continue following her lifelong calling and be an early childhood special education teacher. “My dad was a teacher and my mom’s degree was also in child development,” she said. “They were always passionate about helping children themselves. Maybe it reflected in me.”

OPINION

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 Assisted-living facility won’t do harm In my dream, the Parker Chronicle (March 27) front page photo shows three local residents with big smiles and arms outstretched, and the headline says, “Seniors Welcome in Parker Neighborhood.” The story starts with a quote, “We are excited to have an option for seniors to live in our multigenerational neighborhood instead of the high-density facilities on Twenty Mile Road. I hope there will be space for my parents when they are ready to leave the home I grew up in. With this option, my folks could share the master bedroom, offering them privacy in a home like environment with 24 hour supervision,” the letter said, quoting one of the neighbors. You might be thinking “easy for you to say, this isn’t your backyard.” But I have been there, twice. First, Fort Collins neighbors sold their home to “The Friendship House,” a senior residence. Then Stonegate neighbors converted a single-family dwelling into a senior residence. I want to assure you Letter continues on Page 9

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

• 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.
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 have visitors, there could be some additional cars parked at the house but I doubt any of the occupants have their own vehicles or that the traffic will increase noticeably. I have never been old and I assume those fighting this haven’t been old either. As our society ages, exploring options like this will become more common. With further dialogue, the surprise outcome might be a safe, peaceful community for all. Mary McMahon Parker

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.”

evaluation and further delay the case. He also noted that the use of self-induced intoxication as a defense is limited under the law to certain types of crime. Only one of 26 charges levied against Stone — theft — meets the definition for which such a defense could be used. 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 firstdegree homicide for allegedly trying to strike Trooper Bellaman Hee with a vehicle as he fled. Stone has also been charged with first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, robbery, vehicular eluding, three counts of aggravated car theft, child abuse, vehicular assault, and six counts of leaving the scene of an accident.
Wish Continued from Page 1
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 fastgrowing 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.

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.”

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

Colorado Blvd., with an open bar and appetizer reception; screening begins at 6:30 p.m. with an introduction from Jastrow.

The movie is Jastrow’s feature-film directorial debut from his screenplay based on a true story from Texas.

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.

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.

Bands battle for audience’s vote Event at Elbert fairgrounds showcases area musicians By Rick Gustafson
Special to Colorado Community Media Six bands from across the Front Range rocked the Elbert County Fairgrounds in Kiowa on April 4 in the second High Plains Battle of the Bands. The event featured the talents of musicians ranging from middle school-aged to early 20s competing in a head-to-head competition for cash and prizes. Each band was given a thirty-minute window to set up, perform and strike. The faster a band sets up the more songs they can play. Each band performed between five and six songs, many of them original compositions. Organizer and president of Peak Events, Mike Anthony says that the bands are not rated by a panel of judges who score the groups’ musical ability. Instead, the audience votes for its favorite band via a text network, donated by Viaero Wireless in Elizabeth, which tabulates the results. “Ours is a pure popularity contest,” Anthony said. At the end of the evening, musicians from each band were called to the stage a final time to hold up a sign with the band’s name and a text number. Audience members were permitted one vote per device using either text messaging or email through a mobile website. At the end of the evening when the votes were tabulated, The Blush Band from Castle Rock won first place and took home half the door receipts. “The Easter weekend took a toll on our attendance,” Armstrong told the audience. “But we still managed to put together $400 for the Blush Band.” The original date for the event had been Feb. 21, but a winter storm forced Armstrong to postpone the event until last weekend. Along with the cash, the Blush Band re-

The first High Planes Battle of the Bands was held in the winter of 2013 as a way for Anthony to encourage younger musicians to participate in the Elizabeth Music Festival, of which he is the organizer, and once again, Peak Events collaborated with Musicians in Action, a Colorado nonprofit that hosted a “Not-So-Silent-Auction.” Proceeds from the auction supported the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, a Douglas and Elbert County nonprofit organization that assists people in serious economic need or at risk for homelessness. MIA regularly collaborates with Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, the Gathering Place, Urban Peak and Senior Support Services.

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.

Chaparral plays for now — with eye on next year Youth-infused Wolverines have bested last year’s output By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com A parent declared prior to Chaparral’s March 31 match against Rock Canyon that the Wolverines girls soccer team would be pretty good next year. Wolverines’ first-year coach Kelsey Ferguson agreed, but she’s still focused on this season. “We have a young team,” said Ferguson. “They lack a little bit of the experience playing against older players. It’s the first time a lot of them are playing against 18-yearolds and they are 14 and 15. They are able to hold their own. It’s just a little bit of that confidence that comes with playing against those older players. I really like what I see from them.” Chaparral was winless in 15 games last season. Ferguson has a dozen underclass players on her current team to go with sev-
en seniors. The Wolverines are 3-3-0 overall and 1-2-0 in the Continental League. The Wolverines dropped a 2-1 league decision to Rock Canyon, top-ranked in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, on March 31 but rebounded with a 4-1 win over Heritage April 2. Chap lost 3-2 in a non-league against Cherokee Trail on April 4 and played Legend April 7 in a league match. “I think we’re good now,” advocated Ferguson. “A lot of teams are underestimating us, and we’re using that to our advantage. We need to stick the knife in a little more, make it hurt a little more, make people recognize us and give us the respect that we deserve. “It comes along with the regrowth of believing that we can after coming off a rough year last year. We need to believe that we are capable and we are good enough to step forth and win.” Freshman Ally Schelegel is the Wolverines leading scorer with six goals. Freshman Eliot Edwards and sophomore Malak Rafik each have scored four goals in statistics through five games. So it’s not surprising about the optimism for the future

SPORTS ROUNDUP Girls Soccer
Cherokee Trail 3, Chaparral 2 (OT) - Cherokee Trail scored six minutes into extra-time to hand Chaparral a home loss on April 4. Chaparral 4, Heritage 1 - The Wolverines picked up their first league win at the expense of the Eagles, who picked up their first league loss, in a match at Chaparral on April 2. Ashleigh Maguire faced 11 shots on her goal with Heritage managing 11 total shots in the loss. Reagan Yost scored a first-
half goal for the Eagles. Rock Canyon 4, Ponderosa 1 - Paige Von Bank scored a brace and provided an assist as Rock Canyon, No. 1 in CHSAANow.com’s 5A Girls Soccer rankings, picked up a home win on April 2. 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. Kayte Mundwiller and Megan Pitman provided the goals for Rock Canyon. The Jaguars are ranked No. 12 in the latest Topdrawersoccer.com’s Fab 50. Mountain Vista 10, Legend 0 - Megan Massey scored three goals and assisted four others as the Golden Eagles scored five times in each half to knock off Legend at Legend on April 4. Mallory Pugh scored four times to lift her season total to 14
goals in five games. Katie Joella scored two goals for Vista. Lutheran 5, Faith Christian 4 (2OT) Freshman Abigail Justus beat her defender down the left sideline, turned inside to her right foot, and beat the keeper in the second period of extra time for the third time to secure a March 31 home win and keep Lutheran undefeated on the season.

Lutheran Lions learning under fire
First-year lacrosse team loses to Littleton’s veterans
By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com
Experience trumped enthusiasm March 31 as Littleton’s established team posted a 16-2 win over a Lutheran squad in its first varsity season. “This is a season all about learning the game of lacrosse,” Lutheran coach Phil Hasty said after the game. “We are very young, with 11 freshmen, eight sophomores, two juniors and four seniors. Also, most of our guys are new to the game of lacrosse. Only five of our players have any lacrosse experience. So, we introduced them to the lacrosse stick and have been teaching them the game since we started practice.” He said the players work hard, and the biggest improvement among the inexperienced players is the ability to throw and catch the ball with a lacrosse stick, which are skills that are not natural moves so must be learned. He said they are also beginning to learn lacrosse techniques such as moving to open spaces, setting picks and using picks.
Roundup Continued from Page 19
Brenna Bloom scored the other two goals for the Lions. Amanda Lopez of Faith Christian matched Justus with a hat trick of her own. Longmont 1, Ponderosa 0 - A first-half goal from Longmont sent Ponderosa to its second straight defeat on the road on March 31. The Mustangs could not capitalize on a bevy of offensive opportunities being shutout despite forcing 18 saves from the Trojan keeper.
Boys Lacrosse
Ponderosa 10, Battle Mountain 7 - Ponderosa limited Battle Mountain’s offensive
“This was our spring break game. We didn’t play well the first half so, at halftime, I told this was a time to practice what we have learned,” the coach said. “They listened, went out and played much better lacrosse.” Hasty said Lutheran lacrosse has a bright future because of the youth of this year’s team, plus the benefit of strong youth lacrosse programs like the Parker Hawks. He said he expects to do well against conference teams, and expects his Lions to make the playoffs. “I am going out on a limb and say I expect us to win the conference,” he said. “We lack experience but we have the talented players necessary to win the title. All we have to do is go out and play good lacrosse.” Sophomore Lance Olson scored one of Lutheran’s goals. “It was a good game and we need to learn from our mistakes,” he said after the game. “We have to move the ball around and get better on offense. Defensively, we need to slide over to stop the attack.” Olson, who also plays football and basketball, said he had also played soccer but decided to switch to lacrosse. “I like lacrosse because it is fast and aggressive,” he said. “It was a challenge to learn the stick skills needed in lacrosse. It is not a natural talent so it take a while, and opportunities as the Mustangs handed the Huskies their first home loss of the season on April 4. Grandview 11, Ponderosa 10 - Grandview outscored Ponderosa 4-3 in the fourth quarter to send the Mustangs to a home loss on April 1. Ponderosa entered the contest ranked in the fifth position in CHSAANow.com’s latest Class 4A Boys Lacrosse rankings.

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

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

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) #018-15 BACK-SCANNING FOR AN ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Douglas County Department of Human Services (Department) recently entered into a contract with Northwoods Consulting Partners, Inc. (Northwoods) to implement an electronic content management (ECM) system. The ECM project has a staged rollout schedule and this back-scanning project will mirror the ECM schedule.

Additionally, the selected vendor will be required to scan and index each document per the design developed by Northwoods and the Department.
