Jury convicts chase suspect
Ryan Stone faces minimum of 64 years in prison
By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A man who led authorities on a dangerous pursuit down I-25 was found guilty of attempted manslaughter, avoiding a conviction on the first-degree attempted murder charge he was facing as jurors began deliberations.
A Douglas County jury found Ryan Stone guilty on 18 of 20 charges for a March 2014 chase that ended with a violent collision at Lincoln Avenue and Peoria Street. Stone, 29, faces a minimum of 64 years in prison after the verdict was delivered at noon April 29. A sentencing date had not immediately been set. The jury also decided that Stone was not guilty of one count of kidnapping and one count of attempted robbery. The pursuit was captured by an 850 KOA news helicopter and televised live. It forced authorities to shut down off-ramps and lay down spike
strips. Stone was charged with attempted first-degree murder with extreme indifference after striking Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellamann Hee at 94 mph while Hee was putStone ting down a spike strip on E-470 near Chambers Road. But the jury found him guilty of the lesser charge of attempted manslaughter. Parker resident Stacy Rader, whose vehicle was T-boned in the crash that ended the
chase, said she is satisfied with the verdict and attended the trial, in part, to support Hee and a 4-year-old child was who in the back seat of the first vehicle Stone stole. “I think the right thing happened,” she said just after the verdict was read at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock. Then, referring to Stone, Rader said, “I’m just a little emotional to see his family so upset.” Mark Hurlburt, deputy district attorney Stone continues on Page 9

The challenges
Haiti’s unemployment is at a staggering 80 percent, resulting in an impoverished population; the humidity and heat are often unbearable; natural disasters and unstable buildings; the threat of robbery; a vast population of voodoo practitioners; coordinating trips to a third-world country; lack of access to running water and electricity; and long rides in caged truck beds.
For many of the missions, the church has hired a “precious and beautiful woman” named Elise, whom the Maldonados affectionately refer to as “Mama.” She helps with the cooking, cleaning and, at times protection, like when she warded off a group of voodoo dancers that entered the family’s dwelling and
demanded money. For a time, the family never saw where Mama went to sleep for the night. Mama “didn’t want anyone to know where she was living,” Angela Maldonado said. It was discovered that she was sleeping underneath a concrete slab, one of

After 87 meetings with more than 1,000 community members on the school district’s long list of facility concerns, the Douglas County School Board said more work should be done before it can decide whether to put a capitalneeds tax issue on the November ballot. The school district has a final opportunity in November to ask taxpayers to maintain tax bills that would otherwise go down this year. If voters approved the proposal for a new $200 million bond, their school tax bill would remain unchanged instead of dropping by about $36 a year. After deciding not to put the question to voters in 2014, the board charged its Long Range Planning Committee with educating and getting feedback from the public about the $275 million in unmet capital needs. Committee members and financial staff gave a detailed presentation to the board about their findings during the April 21 board meeting. Surveys and comments they gathered from community members show support for funding those needs with a bond or some form of tax. “We heard the recognition of the

HOW DISTRICTS COMPARE Douglas County receives among the lowest per-pupil funding in the Denver metro area. In 2014-15, that amount was $6,763.59, according to the CDE. Neighboring Littleton Public Schools is also on the low end of the state funding list, getting only $1.66 more per-pupil than Douglas County in 2014-15. The CDE shows its per-pupil funding at 6,765.25. Littleton’s per-pupil state funding rank did not dissuade voters there from passing a refinancing mechanism similar to the one proposed in Douglas County in November 2013.

“You want to make an impression! It’s not a competition, but you want to outdo yourself and do something big. That way the other person knows you care for them and that they’re important.” Felipe Prado
‘Promposal’ gets Old Spice’s attention Legend High School senior’s spoof goes viral By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com The evolution of the prom proposal has reached new heights in Parker. It was pretty high up, Felipe Prado recalls of sitting shirtless atop a horse for the first time. It was part of the Legend High School senior’s elaborate plan to ask his best friend, Kara Wachsmann, to the prom. Today’s “promposals,” as they are called, require a level of intricacy that can wow an audience. One Legend student asked his date by hiring a goat to wear a sign that said “Will you goat to prom with me?” Another student filmed a spoof of the hit TV show “The Office” to woo his date. Prado, 18, wanted to do something similarly clever and began researching ideas during a slow day at work on Easter Sunday. He found a teen in California who involved a horse. That got Prado to thinking about the Old Spice ads featuring actor Isaiah Mustafa doing manly things. He enlisted a group of friends to recreate a commercial in which Mustafa rides a horse backwards. Wachsmann knew Prado’s “promposal” was coming, but she didn’t have a clue how he was going to ask. “The horse surprised her a lot,” he says while telling the story hours before getting
ready for the April 24 prom at Infinity Park. He made a path out of dozens of Old Spice items that led her behind a barn and to a pasture. Wachsmann laughed uncontrollably as Prado presented flowers and a sign that read: “Although I’m not the Old Spice guy, going to prom would be fly.” She stopped laughing long enough to tell him yes. “You want to make an impression! It’s not a competition, but you want to outdo yourself and do something big,” he said. “That way the other person knows you care for them and that they’re important.” Prado then posted a photo on Twitter that got some quick attention. It had more than 1,100 favorites as of April 24 and got the attention of Old Spice, which offered to pay for the couple’s limo and dinner at The Broker. Since then, Prado has accepted numerous media requests for interviews and has become a sensation at Legend High School. He received a video message from Mustafa that was played during an assembly leading up to prom. Mustafa got into character to tell Prado that his “chivalrous deed has touched my handsome heart” and to offer the “chariot” ride to the dance. It’s a fresh-scented way for Prado to mark his first and last prom. “I never thought it would be this big,” he says of the idea. “My original goal was to get, like, 50 favorites from my friends. I wanted Old Spice to see it, but I never thought they would.”

Apartment homes going up downtown By Staff report Klingbeil Capital Management is planning to break ground on the Parker Flats at Old Town at 11020 S. Pikes Peak Drive. The 2.53-acre development is directly south of Mainstreet, along the Sulphur Gulch Trail. The Parker Flats at Old Town will include seven multifamily residential buildings, consisting of 146 one- and twobedroom apartment homes. The floor plan layouts will feature functional living spaces, a walk-in closet, wood plank flooring and granite countertops. The clubhouse and leasing office will include a fitness center and an outdoor all-season “socialspace” designed to take advantage of views overlooking Sulphur Gulch. The “socialspace” will focus on community interaction, with access to complimentary wi-fi, outdoor grilling, group assembly areas, year-round fire pit and
electronics charging stations. The building exteriors were developed with Victorian-inspired archways, balconies, railings and oversized windows and were designed to celebrate the surrounding architecture reflected along Pikes Peak Drive and Pikes Peak Avenue in Parker. Parker Flats at Old Town is within easy walking distance to shopping, entertainment and dining along Mainstreet and the surrounding area. “Adding housing density to downtown Parker will help support the local economy, as well as the many events and activities that take place in Old Town,” said Mayor Mike Waid. Grading and infrastructure work began in April this month, with the project site work estimated to be complete in early June. The first apartment homes at Parker Flats at Old Town are scheduled to be ready for occupancy in April 2016.

The Toyota sedan went over a median, across oncoming traffic, down an embankment and through a fence before coming to a stop. Lamb drove up to 30 mph. After the vehicle came to a stop, Lamb fled on foot and was found hiding in a tree hours later. He was convicted by a jury in January on numerous counts, including attempted firstdegree assault with extreme indifference, second-degree assault on a peace officer and vehicular eluding with injury. Lamb was found not guilty of a felony charge of kidnapping. Deputy District Attorney Brian Eckhardt said Villers “survived due to her determination not to die at the hands of this defendant.

Lamb, 30, was discovered under miscellaneous items in the back seat of a vehicle and was confronted by Parker police officer Glenna Villers. He jumped into the front seat, and Villers ran around to the driver’s side window and tried to pull the keys from the ignition. Lamb, who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest at the time, drove north on South Parker Road near Valley Hi Drive with Villers still holding on. At the sentencing hearLamb ing, he blamed Villers for the incident, saying she should have let go as he was driving. The sentence was handed down at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock.

Lamb’s mother, Sherrie Breck, defended her son in January, saying he had never been convicted of a violent crime. She acknowledges that he made mistakes, but called Lamb a “good-hearted person.” “They’re trying to say that because of the way he looks, he must be a bad person. Well, that’s not true,” she said, before saying that there are “murderers and rapists and child sex offenders who won’t get as much (prison) time. That doesn’t make sense to me.”

Board to formalize stance on state testing Planned policy will address differences on parental opt-outs

The Douglas County School Board adopted a resolution aimed at supporting parents who don’t want their children to take state-mandated tests. It calls for creation of a new policy to ensure students, parents, teachers and schools aren’t penalized for not participating. The resolution doesn’t require charter schools, which have their own governing boards, to follow the district’s lead on the issue. But it does require new charters and existing charter schools renewing their contracts to have clear policies about student participation in state assessments. It also encourages all charter schools to either adopt the board’s policy or develop their own on the subject. If a charter school adopts the district’s policy, DCSD would legally defend the school in any related legal action. “The intention of that is to have an incentive (to) all be on the same page,” said Rob Ross, legal counsel for the district. The policy will give parents an easy way to opt out, ensure the student’s absence is excused and prohibit any retaliation against a student who doesn’t take a test, or incentives for those who do. The school district excused absences for students whose parents refused the spring PARCC test, but Castle Rock’s Acad-

emy Charter School did not. Academy administrators said they were following the law and their own policies. Several Academy Charter parents strongly objected, and accused the school of rewarding students who took the March test and penalizing some who didn’t. The resolution attempts to strike a balance with charter schools by asking that they clearly state their position on statemandated test participation. If a charter school takes a stance like Academy has, “That waiver of the parental right (to opt out) needs to be knowing and clear at the time of enrollment,” board member Craig Richardson said. “As a condition precedent of becoming a part of that charter community, they agree to give up that right. We’re saying, do what you choose in this area, but be clear. “The real beauty of letting choice drive that in the charter schools is really discov-

Three days after the Douglas County School Board adopted its resolution, the U.S. Department of Education rejected Colorado’s request to hold harmless districts with high testing opt-out rates. District leaders couldn’t immediately be reached for comment on how the decision may impact their planned new policy at the center of the resolution.
ering the value individual parents give to this right. If it’s dear to them, they’re going to say, ‘I’m not going to go to that charter school.’ If it’s not dear to them, they will presumably relinquish that.” Ross said the district had “a lively conversation with charter leaders” about student participation in state-mandated assessments. “There is a diversity of opinion among the charter schools as to how they’re handling parent refusals now and how they want to in the future,” he said. “It ranges from completely in alignment with this board’s position to completely opposite. “The language in this resolution … I think allows for that diversity of approach for the charter schools.” Board president Kevin Larsen agreed. “This helps navigate a reasonable approach, but yet respects the sovereignty of those schools, the autonomy they have,” he said. Richardson reiterated the board’s opinion that the growing number of state-mandated assessments consumes too much classroom time. “Our 9-year-olds are spending more time taking tests than I spent taking the three-day California bar exam,” he said. “And why is that? Because the growth in
The April 24 federal decision means Colorado schools with high opt-out numbers on statemandated assessments could lose federal education funding or suffer other consequences. The Colorado Board of Education voted in February to exempt districts with low student testing participation from penalties. But Assistant Secretary of Education Deborah Delisle said the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act prevents the state from making that decision. The tests are necessary, she said, to make improvements to education. Districts and schools may face consequences if test participation falls below 95 percent.
testing works really well for adults. And it works well for testing contractors. Government departments that get to grow their FTEs and budgets. The only way to sort of check that relentless process of selfenrichment is to give parents the ability to say, ‘This is too much.’ “I think if we have restored balance (in testing), the opt-out rate will go down.” The board also wants to ensure that its teachers and the district aren’t penalized for low testing participation.

School board rips union staff survey Members question agency’s credibility, rate of response By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Douglas County School Board members lambasted the recent staff survey funded by the teachers’ union, calling it an attack on staff, pointing out its low response rate and questioning the objectivity of the agency that conducted it. The survey showed low morale and dissatisfaction with recent education reforms and policies in the Douglas County School District, among other findings. The union paid Strategies 360, which describes its purpose as helping to “create the environment for business and public policy success,” to do the survey. The national company offers its clients research, grassroots advocacy, marketing and other services. Its Denver office is led by Tyler Chafee, formerly political director for the Colorado AFL-CIO. The AFL-CIO is the umbrella organization for U.S. unions, including the Douglas County Federation teachers’ union. “This ain’t Gallup,” board member Craig Richardson said during the board’s April 21 meeting. “This is not the Pew survey. This is an organization that does advocacy polling, so I think that is a relevant fact, and one that goes to the weight and credibility and reliability of the data they collect.” t Strategies 360’s report said the number of re-spondents “is not necessarily statistically repr t
resentative of the full population of teachers and staff in DCSD,” but that “a sample size of 800 is robust enough to make well-informed assessments about attitudes across the district.” About 800 of 5,000 employees invited to take the anonymous survey did so — a response rate of about 16 percent. School board president Kevin Larsen said the response rate calls the findings into question. “I would commend those who conducted the survey for stating they’re not able to draw complete conclusions and even get an accurate margin of error, because to do so would be statistical malpractice,” he said. The Douglas County Federation paid $3,000 to conduct the survey because union leaders said the district had failed to do its own. Despite frequent requests from community members, the once-annual district survey hasn’t been conducted since 2012; then, DCSD discounted the 6 percent response rate as too small to be statistically valid. “We have a failed union leadership that is desperately trying to get itself back into the pockets of teachers,” said Doug Benevento, school board vice president. “They’re not attacking us. They’re attacking the teachers, parents and students of the district who had so roundly rejected them through (multiple) elections. “As this survey demonstrates, there is a small group of dissatisfied union leaders who are attacking our staff. I hope you will join us in pushing back on them as they continue to do so, because that’s the only way they think they can get power back.” A DCSD teacher stood during the meeting to
ask the board to conduct its own survey, saying she spoke on behalf of the teachers’ union members. “I’m here to ask that you please conduct an anonymous, third-party employee climate and culture survey,” said Michelle Grissom. “You have made it perfectly clear you do not value our opinion, so we ask that you conduct your own survey. We’ve been asking for years.” Grissom categorized the findings in the teachers’ union survey as “dismal.” “Did you know that less than 10 percent of the respondents believe the reforms you have made have resulted in increased learning for students?” she said. “It’s important you conduct your own confidential survey of employees before the end of the school year.” Larsen said he is interested in hearing “from a representative sampling of teachers.” He believes the state’s TELL — Teaching, Empowering, Leading and Learning — survey will provide good feedback. Fifty-one percent of teachers participated in the 2015 TELL Colorado survey, and results will be available in late May. “I think in a few weeks, time will indeed tell,” Larsen said. While the TELL survey’s website says its main intent is to provide data for school and district improvements, and to inform statelevel policy, the state survey’s questions don’t address district-level issues. Board member Meghann Silverthorn issued a plea for cooperation. “It is my opinion attacks are not the way to move the district forward,” she said. “How can we all work together as a community?”

TABOR : Why it matters and What it means to you Calendar of Events TABOR (Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights) and potential TABOR refunds is the subject of the Tuesday, April 28 meeting of the Chamber’s Business Leaders for Responsible Government (BLRG) committee. This is their second monthly meeting and will be held from 7:30 am – 9:00 am. All members of the South Metro Denver Chamber are welcome to attend. For insight into TABOR and how your personal tax dollars are spent, click here to go to the Colorado Taxpayer Receipt tool. Speakers will encompass several viewpoints on the controversial amendment, and will include: Former Colorado Representative Todd Saliman will begin the program by providing a brief explanation of TABOR and its history in Colorado, as well as insight into current TABORrelated issues, including potential refunds. Todd serves the University of Colorado as the vice president of budget and finance and chief financial officer for the CU System. He is a former Colorado legislator and former director of the Governor’s Office of State Planning and Budgeting under Governor Bill Ritter. Former Colorado House speaker Frank McNulty will provide the second presentation with his perspective on TABOR based on his experience in the Colorado House of Representatives, including the challenges this amendment creates within the legislature. Last, former Colorado Senator Norma Anderson will provide information regarding pending TABOR litigation at the U.S. Supreme Court in which she is involved, as well as her perspective on the limitations created by the amendment. This TABOR meeting’s presentations have been coordinated by Michael Sutherland and David Bear, both active members of the BLRG Steering Com-
mittee who have been instrumental in procuring the speakers for this event. Background: TABOR refers to a 1992 Colorado Constitutional amendment that restricts revenues for all levels of government (state, local and schools). Under TABOR, state and local governments cannot raise tax rates without voter approval and cannot spend revenues collected under existing tax rates without voter approval if revenues grow faster than the rate of inflation and population growth. Revenue in excess of the TABOR limit, commonly referred to as the “TABOR surplus”, must be refunded to taxpayers, unless voters approve a revenue change as an offset in a referendum. An easy and informative advocacy opportunity that directly contributes to our Tabor conversation on April 28 was published this morning in the Denver Business Journal: “The Colorado Office of State Planning and Budgeting is hoping a new tool will give taxpayers some insight into [how exactly is your own tax payment being used]. The online tool, called the Taxpayer
Receipt tool, generates a breakdown of where individuals’ tax dollars go based on their age, annual income and how much they drive. It is part of an interactive website called Balancing Act, launched last week in Colorado to give citizens an interactive way to find out where their tax money goes. Once the numbers are plugged in, the tool shows a breakdown of the way their tax dollars are spread across 30 categories, which include K-12 and higher education, courts, environmental resources, public safety, transportation, even TABOR refund.” After completion, it also links you to another page where you can recommend each budget be raised or lowered, and advocate for increases or decreases in taxes. According to the site, your submissions will be related to the legislature. For those interested in easy business advocacy opportunities, this is a great opportunity to make your voice heard within the Colorado State Legislature.

Lawmakers scrutinize over-budget VA hospital Key Republicans, Democrats meet at Aurora facility By Dan Elliott Associated Press Leaders of the U.S. Senate Veterans Affairs Committee toured the pricey VA hospital under construction in Aurora last week, asking why the project is more than $1 billion over budget. The committee’s Republican chairman, Johnny Isakson of Georgia, and its top-ranking Democrat, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, were part of the morning tour April 24 of the half-finished complex in Aurora. Also attending were Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Republican Rep. Mike Coffman, whose district includes the hospital. Mike Rounds, a South Dakota Republican on the
committee, also was attending. The hospital is expected to cost $1.73 billion, up from $630 million estimated last year. Equipping the hospital and training the staff are expected to cost an additional $340 million, bringing the total to more than $2 billion. The VA has asked Congress for another $830 million to finish the complex. It wants to take the money from a $5 billion fund Congress approved to improve veterans’ access to care by building more facilities, hiring more medical professionals and improving efficiency. Some lawmakers are refusing to go along with that plan, and some have asked whether the project should be scaled back. Coffman and Gardner have proposed diverting the VA’s multimillion-dollar bonus budget to the Denver hospital until it’s complete. Congress has been pressuring the VA to explain what went wrong and fire those responsible. Gibson
has said one of the problems was a badly flawed planning process. The VA launched an internal investigation this year, but it came under criticism because it began without an outside construction expert. An expert joined the panel this week but some witnesses had already been interviewed. The VA has said its former head of construction retired one day after the internal investigators questioned him under oath, and three other officials have been transferred or demoted, but no one has been fired. A whistleblower has said he was fired from his VA job after telling department executives the hospital couldn’t be built for the contract price. The internal investigation will take into account separate reviews of VA construction problems by the Government Accountability Office and the Army Corps of Engineers, VA spokesman Paul Sherbo said.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) “I’m glad that members of the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs came to Aurora, toured the construction site, and held this field hearing. It’s important that leaders in Washington are aware of how the VA’s mismanagement of this critical project has harmed veterans in Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountain region. It is my hope that, following today’s hearing, the VA got the message that it’s long past time for this project to be completed.” Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) “There is no question this medical facility needs to be built. Today we took a step forward on the path to get that done. We appreciate that the chairman and the ranking member came to visit the site and that they committed to its completion. The Colorado delegation
will work with them every step of the way. The VA still has work to do to justify its plan, but for the sake of Colorado and Rocky Mountain region veterans we have to finish this in a timely manner and in a way that protects our taxpayers.” Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) “Our veterans desperately need this replacement hospital, and failing to repair the problem that a shockingly inept VA bureaucracy handed us is simply not an option. As chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation, and as a Marine Corps combat veteran, I take the VA’s primary mission quite personally: serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s veterans.”

Cemetery breaks ground in Douglas County Seven Stones brings beauty of a botanical gardens By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Seven Stones, a botanical gardens cemetery, will be the first of its kind nationwide — and the first cemetery to be built in Douglas County since 1875, when Cedar Hill Cemetery in Castle Rock broke ground. On April 23, Seven Stones broke ground on a 35-acre parcel of land located at North Rampart Range Road, just south of Chatfield Reservoir. The grounds are to include botanical features such as strolling paths, artistic sculptures, pavilions, fire pits, water features and outdoor gathering and seating areas. The Seven Stones vision is a good fit for Douglas County, said Katia de Orbegoso, president of the Roxborough Business Association. “We’re all about the Colorado lifestyle,” she said. “We welcome the creativity that fits into our beautiful landscape.” In addition to the botanical features, Sev-
Seven Stones cemetery, to be located in northwest Douglas County, will boast a botanical garden, complete with strolling paths, artistic sculptures, pavilions, fire pits, water features and outdoor gathering and seating areas. Rendition courtesy of Seven Stones en Stones will offer estate style, green, casket and traditional lawn burials, plus cremation, garden mausoleum and even pet burial and cremation options. Families will have a lot of flexibility to cater to their individual needs, said Doug Flin, vice president of planning and product development. Seven Stones will “create a venue that en-
gages people in a number of ways,” he said. “Our goal is to enhance the family’s remembrance experience through innovation and expertise in design.” Incorporating technology is a big part of Seven Stones’ vision, Flin said. There will be integrated sound with music and lighting, and the gathering spaces may host some evening events, such as art shows people
can enjoy with the ability to purchase art for memorialization. Also, a memory medallion with an integrated QR code on monuments will allow each person’s life story to be remembered and shared. “We created Seven Stones because we saw the need for a different final resting place — a more welcoming place for loved ones to truly want to visit,” said Charlie Piper, executive chairman of Seven Stones in a media release. Construction on Seven Stones will be done in five phases, Flin said, with a number of sub-phases within the project. Phase I consists of about five acres of the land, and includes an entrance, a burial ground and a discovery center — a resource where people can go to learn about the industry. Construction is proposed to begin in about six to eight weeks, Flin said, and should last about five or six months. Sales will begin within six weeks, he said. Seven Stones’ founding partners have put a lot of creative ideas into place, said Andrea LaRew, president of the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce. They “are innovative, and pioneering a unique, new concept,” she said. “It’s exciting that they chose Douglas County to be the site of their vision.”

OPINION
May 1, 2015
&
O U R S
Sweating it over a change in weather I am in mourning this morning because the sweater and sweatshirt season is almost over. I am going to pull over a pullover one more time. It’s not a new jersey, it’s an old jersey. I have had it these 11 years. It’s an olive turtleneck. It covers my aging girth and warms me in more ways than one. I usually don’t get very sentimental about my clothes. I know that a lot of people are very interested in fashion, and find out what’s new, learn designers’ names, and want to hear all about the latest colors, fabrics and cuts. Not me and not at all. I subscribe to blue jeans. And to old shirts to paint in, and some alma mater sweatshirts. I have a few long-sleeved, button-down, Gatsby shirts that get worn when I need to make an appearance, which is seldom. Suits don’t suit me, but I have one, and it’s good-looking. Most of the time, I wear comfortable clothes. And seasonally that means sweaters and sweatshirts. It’s past mid-April, and it’s snowing. I wore my turtleneck one more time. I had placed it away, and it gave me a stop because I know I am facing months of warmer weather that will turn into infernal days, when my disposition is indisposed. I bought the sweater at Nordstrom. I wish I had bought more than one. Five, maybe, in different colors.
They aren’t made anymore, but I have found a few used ones on eBay. That’s not an option. When I lived in Arizona, I met a ceramist named Minnie, and we became friends. I hadn’t thought about her in years, until I mentioned used sweaters just now. Her brother lived in Colorado, and he died. Minnie flew here for the funeral, and I met her at Stapleton when she was about to fly back to Arizona. She had something for me in a box. She gave me a couple of her brother’s sweaters. I thanked her very much, and then donated them right away without telling her. Something about wearing a dead man’s sweaters. My alma mater was the first in the country to turn school branded merchandise into an industry. You used to be able to buy sweatshirts and T-shirts and decals at college and university bookstores. And that was about it. Now you can buy anything under the sun
with your school’s logo on it. Thanks to my alma mater. Ohio State’s bookstore sells University of Michigan toilet paper. I have enough of my alma mater’s sweatshirts to keep all of the Cowsills warm and dry. You might have an old sweater or an old sweatshirt that has a sentimental meaning to you too. I know it sounds a little too pleasant and agreeable for someone like me. But I have my moments. My olive turtleneck is as old as my dog. Both of them shed. There have been some very famous sweaters. Lana Turner’s in the 1937 film “They Won’t Forget” earned her the nickname “Sweater Girl.” A Dutch-born fashion designer you have never heard of named Koos Van Den Akker designed sweaters that you have heard of. The Cosby sweaters. And of course Mr. Rogers made his zippered cardigans famous. His mother, Nancy Rogers, knitted all of them. One of them is on display in the Smithsonian Institution. I love my sweatshirts. Double XL, 100 percent cotton. They become friends, and I don’t like to see them placed away. And I don’t like to see this time of year end either.
deal with that later because right now we have to act and act fast. Of course there are situations that call for snap decisions and quick action. Things like life-and-death situations or something that can cause harm to others if we don’t act quickly. But what I am really talking about here is taking the time to be really thoughtful about what we do, why we do it, and how we go about getting it done. The primary reason that people never really achieve their goals or dreams is because they don’t take the time necessary or make the commitment to carefully thinking about all the reasons that they want to pursue their goals and dreams in the first place. And it’s not just about the goals and dreams, we can even see it in the pursuit of a hobby and in the execution of a project or plan at work. I know I can share my own stories of things I have started only to have them left sitting on a shelf waiting for my return. The reason: Not enough planning, preparing, and thought went into it in the first
Pulse Ox newborn screening would save lives I believe protecting our tiniest hearts is one of our most important duties. The state Legislature is currently considering House Bill 1281, sponsored by Rep. Dianne Primavera and Sen. Mary Hodge. This bill would help babies live longer and fuller lives by ensuring that newborns receive a simple, and non-invasive screening to detect critical congenital heart defects before leaving the hospital, potentially saving lives. Here is why we should support this bill: My whole life turned upside down in a matter of five hours the day my son Cooper was born. As soon as he was born he was rushed over to the doctor and nurse and they immediately began CPR on him. He had no pulse and was not breathing. After two minutes, which seemed like two days,
GRETCHEN WHITEHURST GUEST COLUMN he had a heart beat and we finally heard his first cry. At about four the following morning, the nurse came in to take him back to the nursery for a few routine screenings. It was at that moment that our world changed forever.

The thought counts, but not that much Is it really the thought that counts? I know many people who make light of a situation where perhaps they forgot to give a card or a gift to celebrate a holiday or special occasion, and they may laughingly say something like, “Well, it’s the thought that counts.” Or maybe it’s the dream of starting our own company, or beginning to work out, lose weight, stop smoking, or completely and totally pursue a new job or career. Maybe there is that special someone whom we need to initiate a conversation with where we should ignite or maybe re-ignite that spark of passion. When we fall short of actually doing it, do we once again say, “Well, it’s the thought that counts”? Let’s take it beyond those scenarios because that excuse has become tired and even cliche as we dance around the fact that we simply forgot the person’s birthday or our parents’ anniversary, or we just didn’t really want to pursue the other changes in our lives. What I am talking about here is the thought that we put into our pursuit of each and every thing that we do or desire to do. Because it really is the thought that counts. How often have we been too quick to leap into action, try to solve a problem or fix a situation without carefully thinking through a solid game plan? You know how it goes, we shoot first and ask questions later. We don’t worry about the collateral damage, we will

place. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want you to get so wrapped up in the thought process that you suffer from what is called “paralysis by analysis,” where we overthink things so much that we fail to act on them. What I am referring to is becoming thoughtful and deliberate about everything from our relationships to our jobs, our hobbies and our goals. It is the thought that counts, the amount of time and energy we commit to in our thinking as we seek to accomplish anything we set out to do. Part-time efforts lead to part-time results. When we go about any activity or pursue any dream and we take a part-time approach, taking shortcuts, and not taking the time to plan, prepare and think through our action plan and objectives, this is when we set ourselves up for disappointment and failure. It’s the thought that counts. So how about you, do you use the statement as an excuse or do you fully appreciate the meaning and how it can impact your personal and professional success? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we put some serious thought behind what we want to accomplish, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR If it seems too good to be true… We all have learned to view too-goodto-be-true promotions — the lottery windfall or a free vacation package — with skeptical caution. Such “deals” require scrutiny and rational analysis. Many seemingly beneficial government “deals” carry less-than-benevolent sideeffects, too. For example, millions became eligible for expanded Medicaid benefits through the Affordable Health Care Act. But 1993 federal legislation authorizes states to recoup Medicaid costs from deceased recipients’ estates. When Medicaid recipients had few assets, that law had little effect; now, however, wider eligibility brings more recipients’ estates within the states’ reach. Advocating higher minimum wages is another policy that is not entirely beneficial. Workers may benefit from higher wages, but they might also become reLetter continues on Page 9

for the 18th Judicial District, said, “A menace has been taken off the streets.” Attorneys for Stone said he was running on fear during his 75-mile flight from Longmont to Douglas County. During closing arguments in the trial April 27, they argued the Centennial man did not knowingly commit the crimes for which he’s charged, a key component in finding him guilty. Prosecutors said the actions caught on video tell a different story, one of a man who acted with knowing disregard for others. The jury began deliberating the case at 8:30 a.m. April 28 and returned with a verdict more than a day later. Stone, who has a prior criminal history, stole multiple vehicles throughout the metro area — including one in Longmont with the 4-year-old child inside — and eluded

need for a bond; we heard a concern about a long-term strategy to address our capital needs,” said committee chairman Todd Warnke, adding they also heard a desire for “quick and decisive action” to address the unfunded capital needs. “One thousandplus people came out, on snowy nights, on school nights, to sit there thoughtfully and give us very good feedback.” Warnke repeated the committee’s concerns for the increasingly grave condition of many district facilities. Issues presented in the committee’s 2014-15 Capital Master Plan include aging buses, boilers and roofs; outdated technology; cracked parking lots; unraveling carpet; safety and security needs; and new construction prompted by near-capacity schools. “Our needs will continue to grow,” Warnke said. “In five years, 29 percent more of the district’s assets will be 15 years or older — 78 percent total.” Warnke said 15 years is an industry standard marking the transition from standard maintenance in a building to the maintenance plus capital renewal and reinvestment phase. The student population also will continue to grow, doubling to an estimated 128,000 by 2040. Several community members spoke, expressing both support and opposition to the idea of a ballot question. “I’m a chamber of commerce poster child and fiscal conservative,” said Karen Becker, a resident member of the Long Range Planning Committee. “Five years from now, the tsunami hits.

Carlos Moreno-Martinez died at the scene after being struck by a 1996 Jeep Cherokee while he was traveling north in the southbound lanes of South Parker Road near Old Schoolhouse Road, said Trooper Josh Lewis, public information officer for
the Colorado State Patrol. Moreno-Martinez was reportedly not wearing a headlamp or a helmet at the time of the crash. The 26-year-old female driver of the Jeep Cherokee remained at the scene during the investigation. She is not expect-
ed to face criminal charges. The motorized bike was street-legal. Alcohol is being investigated as a possible contributing factor, Lewis said. Toxicology tests will take three to four weeks to complete.
police, striking several vehicles in the process. He was found guilty of first-degree assault, vehicular eluding, motor vehicle theft and child abuse, among other charges. A toxicology test showed Stone tested positive for methamphetamine, marijuana and Lorazepam, which is typically used to treat anxiety. Defense attorney Leslee Barnicle said the video was not sufficient evidence on which to find Stone guilty. “You can watch that video 100 times; you will never know what was going through Mr. Stone’s mind,” she told the jury. Prosecutor Laura Wilson said the video tells the story of Stone’s intent well. “There are some crimes that occur in the dark, where there’s nobody to see; this isn’t one of those,” she said. “This occurred under the watchful eye of the media.” “(Stone) was going to do whatever it took to get away, no matter who it hurt, no matter how badly. It is time, ladies and gentleman, for you to hold him accountable.” Barnicle told the jury Stone didn’t know
a child was inside the first vehicle he allegedly stole. It was left running outside a Longmont gas station while the child’s mother went inside. The mother testified that her son was sleeping when she got out of the Ford Edge. Barnicle suggested the 4-year-old boy may have unbuckled his car seat and hid during Stone’s hour-long drive. “Mr. Stone never knew that child was there,” Barnicle said. “There is no evidence that says that he did. (The child is) standing on the back seat (when the car is found). Where has he been this whole time? Do you know? No. Do you know if Mr. Stone knew? No. Your job is to hold them to the burden of beyond a reasonable doubt.” Barnicle characterized Stone hitting Hee, the trooper who severely injured, as “an unfortunate accident.” “That was not caused by extreme indifference,” she said. “That was an accident. That’s why we call it that — we don’t plan accidents.” Barnicle also suggested the high-speed police chase should have been called off. “The extreme indifference the govern-
ment wants to put you on Ryan Stone is greatly exacerbated by the actions of law enforcement,” she said. Prosecutors said defense attorneys were attempting to shift the blame. According to the defense, Wilson said, “This was everyone’s fault but Ryan Stone’s. It was Martha Rodriquez’s fault for leaving her child in the car. We heard how it’s Trooper Hee’s fault because he was doing his job. (And) those darn police officers — if they just hadn’t done their jobs, trying to stop this car.” In fact, Wilson said, “If Ryan Stone hadn’t made the decisions he made on March 12, 2014, we wouldn’t be here today.” The prosecutor said Stone’s actions — which allegedly included driving head-on toward police cars and forcibly removing people from their cars — didn’t indicate fear. “He’s afraid when he gets caught; who wouldn’t be?” Wilson said. “But he’s not afraid up until that point. He knows exactly what he’s doing.”
capital needs ramp up at the same time we have this growth. There’s no way of avoiding a financial crisis if we can’t figure out where to get this money. “If we can pass a $200 million bond, we can maintain our property tax levels for schools and cost the average homeowner only $36 per year. If we save ourselves that $36 … this is called sparing a dime to save a dollar.” Dave Gill, a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans, said more outreach is needed. “The size of the sample was surprisingly low,” he said. “We’re talking 1,200 people. We have more than 60,000 students.” He also said money for such repairs should have been set aside over the years and readily available. David DiCarlo, a Highlands Ranch resident and field director with the conservative Americans for Prosperity, said the timing for passing a bond is wrong. He also said people mistakenly assume Douglas County residents are wealthy. “Most here are not wealthy,” he said. “We earn more than others. That is not wealth. “I earn more. My life costs more. I have the right and the duty to be able to execute my life’s plan without endless fear of recrimination based on my ZIP code and what the government deems wealth means.” DiCarlo said the presentation suggests a bond is the only solution to the capital needs funding issue. “We need to vigorously address the (state) funding formula. Quit sending money back with no expectation of success or improvement.” School board members continue to express hesitation about putting the issue to voters. “I just think there’s a lot to take away (from the presentation),” said school board
president Kevin Larsen. “I think everybody here knows we have a big issue to wrestle with and address. I think we are committed to how are we going to approach the issue (and) do what’s right for our community and our kids.” Board member Craig Richardson said he’s interested in seeing developers bear more of the cost for growth. In March, the board received a statement of support for a November bond measure signed by representatives of 13 Douglas County School District School Accountability Committees.
Several other school SAC leaders have added their signatures to the petition since then. In August 2014, the school board voted not to put an extension of the mill levy on that year’s fall ballot, citing perceived inequities in the school funding formula. They believe the formula unfairly burdens Douglas County taxpayers. Board vice president Doug Benevento said at a recent meeting that he won’t support a ballot question until the state addresses its school-finance formula.
I know all too well the benefit of a Pulse Oximetry screening. I was fortunate that the hospital where I had my son made the decision to perform this screening. Without the critical screening his defect would have not been detected and my son likely would have not lived to see his first birthday. Pulse Ox is an easy way to save hundreds of families from heartache. With your support of House Bill 1281 we can decrease deaths associated with critical congenital heart defects, and give every Colorado baby the chance at a heart healthy start to life.

Elbert County property values rise Area around Parker has seen highest rate of price increase
May 1, 2015
GETTING THE BUGS OUT
By Rick Gustafson
Special to Colorado Community Media As the housing market improves in Elbert County, the number of foreclosures has dropped, but the improvement in the market will most likely mean increased taxes for a majority of Elbert County property owners when they receive their 2015 revaluations next month. “We’ve only opened five new foreclosures the first quarter of the year versus 16 last year,” said Rick Pettitt, treasurer/public trustee. “Compared to four years ago, when I came in, we had over 300. We’re talking 25 per month.” Pettitt, who presented his quarterly report to the Elbert County commissioners on April 22, said other counties in the state are seeing a similar trend. “Talking to some of the other treasurers and other trustees, they are seeing the same statistics. Foreclosures are way down compared to what they have been,” Pettitt said. “That’s a good sign for the economy and for the people in the county who are not having to sell their homes because they are unable to make their payments.” According to Billie Mills, Elbert County assessor, the median property value in the county has risen 10 percent over the past two years. “The valuation for Elbert County performed very well in terms of value levels and equity,” Mills told the commissioners during her quarterly report at the meeting. The property revaluations are based on 1,028 market transactions occurring within Elbert County during a 24-month collection period from July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2014. The largest increase occurred within the Parker ZIP code, where the median valuation rose 13.6 percent. Properties within the Bennett ZIP code showed the smallest increase at 3.5 percent. “We measure performance based on standards set by the State of Colorado and by International Association of Assessing Officers,” Mills said. “These are standard guidelines for mass appraisal valuation.” Though the average value of property
Elbert County Assessor Billie Mills briefs BOCC on improvement in housing valuations. Photo by Rick Gustafson within the county rose, Mills stressed that this does not automatically translate into higher reappraised values or a 10 percent across-theboard increase for all property owners. She also cautioned that the rates are median valuations, and said that some property owners may see higher valuations despite not having made improvements to their properties. “A property’s valuation is assessed compared with the most comparable sales for location and the characteristics of the property,” Mills told the commissioners. “All sales have been amended and adjusted for time to June 30, 2014. The reappraisal is designed to estimate the fair-market value of all the properties in the county and uses all available property characteristics and market data.” Property owners can expect to receive their 2015 notices of reassessment in May. The notice comes with a form allowing them to protest their revaluations. Protest forms must be either postmarked or received by the assessor’s office no later than June 1. The assessor’s office will follow up on all protests with a notice of determination. Mills was not able to comment on how a countywide increase in value will translate in terms of revenue for the county’s general fund, but said her office is working on those estimates. “We will, later on, have a report from my office that gives you those figures,” she told the commissioners. Under state law, counties are required to revalue properties every other year.

Students at Riverstone Education in Lone Tree marked Earth Day on April 22 by releasing thousands of the insects back into the environment. The preschoolers wore red and black in honor of the ladybugs. Students learned that ladybugs feed on insects that are harmful to gardens, trees and shrubs. Photo by Jane Reuter

Douglas County artist displays work at Home Improvement Expo
One month left for LoDo steak house

Why she’s in the news
A great place to be an artist
Sarah Gonzalez had her artwork for sale at the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Home Improvement Expo, which took place April 24-26 at the Eastridge Recreation Center. Artwork can “elevate peoples’ home environment,” she said. “It’s a quick and easy way to upgrade your space.”
“I get a lot of inspiration from where we live,” said Gonzalez, a Castle Pines resident. Nature is a theme in much of her artwork, she said, which is inspired by living in Douglas County. Nature in art is a great way to bring the outdoors to the inside of a home.
Working together Gonzalez specializes in creating custom artwork for people. She enjoys talking to people and consulting with them in their homes, she said, “to get a clear picture of their style and décor.” The partnership with homeowners as clients is great, she said, because it often results in a shared vision, and the end result being a beautiful work of art.
Different feels for different rooms Sometimes people want different atmospheres for certain rooms in their home, Gonzalez said. Color schemes can help bring ambience and emotion to a room. Gonzalez also incorporates raised acrylic dots, textured surfaces and layers of metallic acrylics in her art.
Her own style Four years ago, Gonzales was able to dedicate herself to doing art full time, although she’s been doing this type for ten years. She has experimented with a variety of materials, techniques and mediums. To view some of Gonzalez’s artwork, visit www. sarahgartist.com. The website also includes a schedule of events where Gonzalez will be selling her artwork.
Parker classes will be led by two artists Case, Bays to teach sessions in summer
IF YOU GO Both classes will be held at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker. The Case class, June 22-25, costs $475, and the Bays class, Aug. 14-16, costs $300. For information, contact kfletcher@parkeronline.org. To register, visit recreation@parkeronline.org.

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com In conjunction with summer gallery exhibits, Parker’s PACE Center is offering two in-depth master classes by a very different pair of visiting artists this summer: G. Russell Case on June 22-25 and Deb Bays Aug. 14-16. • “Deconstructing the Landscape: Painting on Location” with G. Russell Case: Western painter Case’s class will begin with a presentation on painting out on location. Following a morning in a classroom on the first day (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), the class will head out to a location after lunch and spend two and a half days painting en plein air with Case. (Days two and three: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) On the final day (9 a.m. to noon), the class will meet at the PACE Center for a critique and final discussion Case, a Utah resident, is inspired by nature and paints on site, but does not value realism. His work includes wide, sweeping, idealized visions of the Western landscapes he paints, in different seasons, different light. He focuses on simplifying, selecting
“Ironing” by Pastelist Deb Bays, who will teach a master class in August at the PACE Center. Courtesy photo which details he will emphasize, studying spatial relationships. • “Understanding the Rhythm of Still Life” with Deb Bays: Master pastelist and award-winning still life artist Deb Bays, of Denver, will look at the world of lighting and design to bring a
sense of design and movement to the objects one is painting. A veteran of set and costume design, she studied with artists at the Art Students League of Denver and has won numerous awards nationally and internationally at pastel society competitions. On day one, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., she will demonstrate technique and show a PowerPoint on successful design. In the afternoon, artists will start with a charcoal drawing, working with values in black and white, and individuals will work with Bays to create their own still life composition. On day two, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Bays will discuss theatrical lighting techniques to create the mood and drama each artist is after. They will begin working in color. Day three, 12:30 to 6:30 p.m., artists will work in color, bringing “nature morte” to life. A critique and class discussion will follow.
Sullivan’s, the LoDo steak house owned by Texas-based Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, will close May 30 at the end of its lease, according to a story last week on The Denver Business Journal’s website. The restaurant, popular for its nightly live jazz music in the bar, was a 15-year-old fixture in a historic building on the corner of 17th and Wazee streets. The hotspot has been a favorite of Rockies fans who stop in for a quick drink and bar bites before and after games at nearby Coors Field. “We truly value the employees that made Sullivan’s a favorite amongst our appreciated guests and have programs in place to make sure they are taken care of during this time of transition,” Del Frisco’s Group said in a statement to the DBJ. Sullivan’s operates 16 steak houses across the country. The restaurants are owned by parent company Del Frisco’s Restaurant Group, which operates a high-end restaurant in Greenwood Village and plans to open a more casual Del Frisco’s Grille in Cherry Creek North later this year. The new location at First Avenue and St. Paul Street will have an 8,000-square-foot restaurant plus a 9,000-square-foot rooftop and feature a menu that combines classic bar and grill meals at a lower price point that its sister restaurant Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse.
Cherry Cricket, Wynkoop not on block
A recent Facebook post caused a fuss when it said The Cherry Cricket building at 2641 E. Second Ave. is up for sale, but no need to panic. Wynkoop-Breckenridge LLC real estate holdings, including The Cricket as well as the Wynkoop Brewing Co. at 1634 18th St., are being sold and leased back for 20 years with four five-year options. The existing restaurants will stay put. It’s just a financial move, according to Wynkoop-Breckenridge honcho Lee Driscoll, who said the company will use the money to pay off debt and subsidize further expansion. “We hope to enter into a sale leaseback,” Driscoll said. “We sell the building and take back a 20-year lease with four five-year options. This is really a financing transaction, given we will be the tenants for the next 40 years.” The Wynkoop Brewing Co. was founded by Gov. John Hickenlooper, who started the brewery after he was laid off from his job as a geologist.
Dancer hosts book signing May 6

Written by Smirnoff and her best friend and manager Lindsay Rielly, “We’re Just Not That Into You” dishes on their dating escapades with Hollywood celebrities and average guys - from crazy pickup lines and incredible moves to laugh-out-loud relationship tales. Smirnoff, who is currently on a national “Dancing Pros: Live!” tour, has also released a line of fitness videos under the DanceFITNESS brand and runs a dance school in Los Angeles.

PARK PARKER CHORALE CHOR
Mossel, a Parker resident for 10 years, originally hails from a small logging and mill town in western Oregon. He studied geology at the University of Oregon and retired after 35 years as a petroleum geologist in Denver.
Mossel’s writing process Eclectic. He has been advised to “write what you know.” He sits down at the keyboard and begins writing with no outline, no character list, and usually just a “vague idea” for a storyline. Mossel says the oil and gas business easily lends itself to the fiction-
On his dream to become an author… “I’ve been an avid reader since age five and continue to read 30-40 books a year, mostly fiction, with some biographies and histories thrown in. While reading a crime thriller novel several years ago, I thought ‘I can write a better book than this!’ but immediately also thought ‘talk is cheap; you’d better try it before you say it out loud.’ I wrote the first Cortlandt Scott crime thriller just to see if I could, enjoyed the process, and decided to go ahead with getting it published.” On his ultimate goal when sitting down to write a book… “I want to write a good story that readers

The investigation quickly turns up numerous suspects with murderous motives, including members of the victim’s highly dysfunctional family, business associates, employees, and even violent environmental activists. The story takes place in Denver, but takes Cort Scott as far as New York City as he digs into potential links to organized crime. Mossel is married and lives south of Parker. The author penned the Cortlandt Scott crime and mystery thriller series, with his first two books being “The Murder Prospect” and The Talus Slope.” The third installment in the self-published series, “More than 100% Dead,” was released last May. alization of “bigger than life” characters and “stranger than fiction” situations. Although originally conceived as a series, Mossel strives to create books that can be enjoyed as standalone volumes, but he wants to entice readers to seek out previous editions for a fuller understanding of the protagonist. will enjoy. I want them to be informed, surprised, entertained, and able to relate to the characters.” On how he feels about his work once it’s complete… “I’m always gratified at the end of a book because of the feeling of accomplishment. After receiving good reviews from both professional reviewers and personal acquaintances for my first book, “The Murder Prospect,” I was highly motivated to continue writing and that feeling continues with each successive title. When I read, and re-read, my books during the editing process, I truly feel I was able to ‘write a better book than this,’ which was the original motivation.”

Titans Rugby advances in playoffs
Parker team set to play in state semifinals By Chase Ellis
cellis@colorad communitymedia.com Titans Rugby entered the first round of the Rugby Colorado Playoffs on April 25 as the No. 1 seed in Division II-South after a 6-0-1 record in the regular season and matched up with Monarch, 3-3-0 and the No. 4 seed in the North. In a game on the fields at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, Titans wasted little time jumping on Monarch, scoring six first-half tries to take a 36-0 lead to the half. Monarch scored the opening try in the second half, but Titans would not be denied en route to a 57-7 win to advance to the semifinals on May 2.
Key moments: With seven minutes remaining in the first half, and already leading 240, Brett Barnum took a lateral on the left side to find himself with teammate Chris Della Ratta in a 2-on-1 break. With a pitch at the last second, Barnum hit Della Ratta, who raced a Monarch defender down the left sideline and dove to score his second try of the first half and give Titans a 31-0 lead following a conversion by Josh Lyons. Immediately after Monarch scored to open the second half, Braden Evert forced Monarch into a turnover on the kickoff. After picking up the ball, Evert found Lyons streaking down the left and Lyons fought through two defenders to score the seventh for Titans.
Key players/statistics: Della Ratta, Adam Munekata, and Nicolas Maestri each scored two tries in the win and Lyons converted 6-of-9 kicks in addition to his try.

They said it: Junior Adam Munekata following the 57-7 win, “We had prom [on Friday night] and everyone on this team sacrificed their nights to be ready for this game. I commit myself to this team as much as they commit to me. We cannot let this get us cocky but if we play at our level and focus on who we are, we are hard to beat.” “We have to prepare this week and have to correct our mistakes. Going in to next week we have to understand we are playing for our school, our club, and the town of Parker,” said Coach Chancey Cunningham following the win over Monarch as he looked forward to the semifinal contest on May 2.
Going forward: Titans Rugby will face Grand Junction, 4-0-2 during the regular season and winners over Aspen in the first round, on May 2 at the Aurora Sports Complex.

Meet features tough competition Liberty Bell Invitational draws track teams from 57 schools By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Placing in the top six in an event and earning team points proved a major challenge since more than 1,000 athletes took part in the events at the April 24-25 Liberty Bell Invitational Track and Field Meet at Littleton Public School Stadium. Some preliminaries and most finals were on April 25. The result was the stadium floor became a riot of colors as uniformed athletes warmed up and competed. The goal for every athlete was to win or at least make the finals in each event. The top eight finishers in track events earned team points, 10 points for the event winner and one point for the eighth-place finisher. In the final tally, Fort Collins won the team trophy in the girls division with 84 points while Rock Canyon was sixth with 34 points and Castle View seventh with 31.
Highlands Ranch was 15th with 18 points, Lutheran was 27th with seven points while Thunder Ridge was 32nd with six points and Douglas County was 39th with two points. Seventeen schools entered in the competition scored no points. Lutheran junior Stephanie Bryant said she fell in love with running in junior high school. “I am a sprinter and I love it,” she said. “Running kind of sucks when you are doing it, but after you feel great and it is a great way to relieve stress.” She said it was nice to see so many schools come together for the Liberty Bell. “We are a small school so we don’t see top-caliber competition too often,” she said. “Being here today is good for us because we see some of the best athletes and see what we need to do to compete on their level.” Fountain Fort Carson took top honors in the boys team standings with 94 points while Castle View’s team also had a good day as they finished second with 51 points. Lutheran finished seventh with 33 points, Rock Canyon was 18th with 14 points and Chaparral was 25th with nine points.
