Tammy Crosier and her husband have run their CD and record shop Bogey’s West in downtown Castle Rock for 30 years. To be specific, they’ve had three locations in that time span, all on the same block — they’ve occupied their current spot near Third and Wilcox Street for roughly seven years. In the last three decades, Crosier said, she’s enjoyed the growth of Castle Rock — calling it good for business — and building relationships with new and regular customers. There’s plenty of positive things about working in the downtown area, she said, but there’s also been one consistent drawback. “The lack of parking, street parking for our customers, it’s a constant complaint that we have,” she said. “This has been an ongoing, never-ending problem downtown.” Although the town’s growth was good for sales, she said, it also brought more traffic and made worse a problem with limited downtown parking. Some customers have told Crosier they chose not to visit her shop altogether when they couldn’t find a space, she said. “It’s infuriating because we’re losing business,” she said. “And Castle Rock itself is losing the tax revenue.”

JOSLYNN KILMAN
Castle Rock teen first in Douglas County to win highest American Heritage Girls award
Open burning, fireworks use prohibited under regulations
About me I am a Senior at Douglas County High School. I am the oldest child of eight. I enjoy reading and my favorite school subject is history. I also enjoy playing tennis. I play on varsity for my school. Why I’m involved in AHG American Heritage Girls is a Christian scouting organization that focuses on creating a strong faith life through community service and fun. AHG strives to create Godly young women and creates a strong community. The organization also makes faith and service fun. I am involved in American Heritage Girls because I think it brings out the best in me. The virtues AHG teaches are ones that I want to have and use in my daily life. Also, the organization has allowed me to become part of an amazing community. I have made really good friends, and my troop has become like a second family. Being recognized The Stars & Stripes Award is the highest possible award to earn in American Heritage Girls. It requires the completion of 16 badges, a leadership position must be held for at least 6 months, the planning and implementation of a minimum 100-hour community service project and a board of review. I was the assistant prayer shepherd for over a year, and for my service project I created a rosary garden at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. I started the entire process about two years ago, and I knew I wanted to strive for the award. I completed my project the summer of 2017, and in December I completed my board review. The first week of January I received my award in the mail, which

Solutions to gun violence explored at church forum Four panelists discuss gun control laws, mental health BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Jane Dougherty’s sister, a school psychologist, was one of 26 people killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton, Connecticut. On March 18, Doughtery, a Littleton resident, stood in a room of roughly 200 people and pleaded for Douglas County leaders to take action on gun violence. “What we have become is a reactive society,” said Doughtery. “If we just keep arguing that someone has the right to bear arms, more people are going to die.” Contemporary Issues, an adult Sunday school class at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch, 9203 S. University Blvd., hosted the forum, called “Protection of Law Enforcement, Churches and the General Community From Potentially Unstable Individuals.” The Nov. 5 shooting at a church in rural Texas that left 26 dead and the Dec. 31 shooting in Highlands Ranch that killed a Douglas County deputy prompted organizers to host the event, which was open to the public. On a stage in an open room, sat four panelists: District Attorney George
Jane Dougherty pleads for more gun control laws at a March 18 forum hosted by St. Andrew United Methodist Church, 9203 S. University Blvd. Dougherty’s sister, a school psychologist, was one of 26 people killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. ALEX DEWIND Brauchler; Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock; Andrew Romanoff, CEO of Mental Health Colorado, an organization that advocates for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of mental health and substance-use disorders; and Mary Blegen, a volunteer at Colorado Ceasefire, a gun-violence prevention group that promotes responsible firearm ownership. Attempts to invite six state representatives and senators were unsuccessful, said Steve Baska, a member of the Sunday school class. “Which was disappointing to us
because it makes it look like they are afraid to discuss the issue,” he said. A moderator asked panelists a series of questions on the prevention of gun violence, mental health and early intervention by the sheriff ’s office when dealing with a mentally ill person. Panelists discussed possible new gun control laws, such as the Extreme Risk Protection Order, which allows police or family members to petition a state court to order a temporary removal of firearms from someone who is a risk to themselves or others. A version of the statute is currently in
place in five states: California, Washington, Oregon, Indiana and Connecticut. There was also talk of the bill to ban bump stocks in Colorado, which was scheduled to have its first committee hearing on March 19. A bump stock is an attachment that allows a semi-automatic rifle to work as a fully automatic weapon. ERPO addresses a temporary crisis situation, said Blegen, a former nurse, adding, “Colorado needs better mental health care.” Romanoff had a similar outlook. Colorado needs better mental healthcare, and cutting state and federal public healthcare programs would be a step in the wrong direction, he said. “Most people with mental illness are not violent,” said Romanoff. “But there is a fraction of folks and we ought to make it harder for them to get firearms and easier for them to get treatment.” Brauchler said he wants to stop the wrong people from getting weapons, but he doesn’t want pass laws that “infringe on people’s liberty.” “It should be up to the state to determine if a person is a danger to himself or someone else,” he said. Spurlock pointed out tools the sheriff ’s office has implemented to address mental illness.

Douglas County students leave class to advocate for school safety Walkout lasts 17 minutes for 17 victims of Florida school shooting BY ALEX DEWIND, TABATHA STEWART AND JESSICA GIBBS STAFF WRITERS
In front of the main entrance to Highlands Ranch High School stood about 100 students. Some held up large posters with writing. Others chanted, “We want change and we want it now,” and, “Show me what democracy looks like.” Some students delivered speeches, pleading for action, before declaring a moment of silence for the people killed in the Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Florida. “We want something — something is better than nothing,” said Trenten Peacock, a member of the school’s left-leaning group called Falcons for Progress, who helped organize the March 14 walkout. “We can’t keep having this repetitive cycle of death with nothing being done.” The high school, at 9375 Cresthill Lane, was one of at least 10 schools in Douglas County and thousands of schools across the country that had students participate in the event, called “#Enough National School Walkout.” Douglas County students organized the walkout, which was not sanctioned or organized by the Doug-
las County School District, through word of mouth and social media. “It’s about the innocent young lives that are lost constantly and the lack of change that occurs,” said Emily Conway, a senior at Highlands Ranch High. At 10 a.m., students left class for 17 minutes to honor the 17 victims of the Florida shooting and protest for Congress to take action on gun violence. Patrol cars and school resource officers from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office closely monitored the participating schools. In clusters of small groups, students at Castle View High School in Castle Rock emerged from in-between campus buildings and gathered on a grassy area in front of the school. Many held signs urging gun control. At first chants of, “This is what democracy looks like,” broke out. A series of student speakers filled the next 17 minutes, often garnering the cheers and applause of their peers. Even from a few hundred feet away, sound bites of their impassioned speeches rang out. “We are not a minority,” one boy said. “We are the generation of tomorrow,” a girl later added. Nia Dudgeon, a senior at Legend High School in Parker, joined dozens of other students in the walkout to show her support for students killed in school shootings and raise awareness for gun control.

Gone too soon: Part 2
‘He would want us to forgive’ An arrest was made more than seven years after the death of Kiowa teacher Randy Wilson
was wrong,” Morrone said. “I sat there numb. The tears kept coming but I wasn’t moving. It had to be a different Randy Wilson.” Wilson’s death was big news, reported by every TV station in Denver. As days passed and details emerged, the community’s shock deepened. “Not just who did it, but why him?” asked McFarland. “Why the way it happened?”
BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Kiowa High School let out for the summer in May 2010, with popular science teacher Randy Wilson’s youngest son Dean among the 29 graduates. Wilson’s sons Cody and Weston had recently told their dad that they were both expecting children, who would be his second and third grandchildren. Not long after graduation, as the cottonwoods along Kiowa Creek leafed out in the warm spring sun, Wilson, 52, drove to Montana to visit relatives. On his drive back toward his Kiowa home on Sunday, June 13, Wilson stopped in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for dinner. At 10:45 p.m. he pulled off I-70 at exit 304 and stopped to gas up at a Conoco on the outskirts of Bennett, just north of Elbert County on Colorado’s eastern plains. The late-spring brilliance of the week prior had ceded to a gloomy cold front over the weekend, and the wind whipped. One more exit down the interstate, opposite a rest area since torn down, was the junction with Kiowa-Bennett Road. Only 30 miles of dark prairie separated Wilson from home. He never arrived. ‘Why him?’ The next day, June 14, 2010, dawned gray and drizzling on the plains north of Kiowa. Tim Fry and his friend Greg were headed south along Kiowa-Bennett Road to get registration tags for Fry’s truck, according to a Denver Post article from the time. At the crossroads with County Line Road, a rare bend in the route, almost exactly halfway between Bennett and Kiowa, they spotted a parked white sedan, facing north in the gravel. Across the road, in the grass, lay a body. The two men had found the body of Randy Wilson, dead by asphyxiation with a bag over his head and a belt around his neck. The sedan, Wilson’s, was cold. A car jack sat beside it, though no tires were flat. A black glove lay near Wilson’s head. He lay face up, his hands bound behind his back. Wilson’s wallet was missing, though his credit cards were never used. “It just doesn’t seem like he fought,” Fry told a Denver Post reporter later. “I didn’t see any scuff marks. His (clothes) were clean, almost pressed.” In Kiowa, 16 miles to the south, news started to spread that a body had been found out on the prairie. “I figured some bum had overdosed

The life and death of Randy Wilson: Part 2 High school teacher Randy Wilson was found dead at a lonely prairie crossroads in 2010. For more than seven years, those who knew him struggled with the mystery of his unsolved death. Then, in December 2017, came a surprise arrest in the case. Part one last week looked at the legacy of the father of five and wellrespected educator. This week, part two of the twopart series looks at the shockwaves Wilson’s death sent through the rural town of Kiowa, as well as developments in the years-long investigation. out in a field,” said Sarah McFarland, a former student of Wilson’s who knew him well. She was working at the 4-H office in Kiowa for the summer, preparing for the county fair at the end of July. She got the news the next morning. “I had just pulled into the parking lot of the office when a friend texted
me,” McFarland said. “I fell to my knees and sobbed. I couldn’t make any sense of it.” Kiowa’s longtime school counselor Liz Morrone got a call from the superintendent. She put down the phone in shock. “My fiancé, Joe, knew something
‘Amazing Grace’ An online memorial page began filling with condolences and memories. “Mr. Wilson, you were the only person that has ever explained chemistry in ‘jock’ so I could understand,” wrote one former student. “He stayed seemingly every day after school with a group of us trying to beat concepts into our heads until all of us got it,” wrote another. “He was such a brilliant man that he could have attained anything in life, but chose to spend his days roaming the halls of Kiowa High School and looking after his sons.” Wilson’s funeral was held in the school gym the following Saturday, June 19. TV news cameras joined the dense crowd. “People came pouring out from different places,” Morrone recalled. “I didn’t want to be there, but I needed to be. I couldn’t believe the guy I used to make espresso and joke around with was really gone.” Cherie Wyatt, a fellow science teacher who worked closely with Wilson, remembered Wilson’s sister singing “Amazing Grace” at his funeral, and Wilson’s brother telling stories of growing up in Montana. After the funeral, the TV crews left town. ‘Going through the motions’ With Wilson’s death a mystery and no suspects named, Kiowa, a town of about 740 people in Elbert County, took on a more suspicious air, McFarland remembered. “People got less trusting,” McFarland said. “Before Randy died, I knew lots of folks who would’ve stopped by the side of the road to help a stranger. People stopped doing that. I knew people who hadn’t locked their house in 30 years, who started to after that. It changed the way people looked at the world.” Tidbits of information about the case trickled out in the months that followed. The Denver Post reported in August 2010 that the Elbert County Sheriff ’s Office was awaiting test results on evidence sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and that investigators had “good leads.” Returning to school that fall was difficult, Wyatt recalled. “He was all over my room,” Wyatt said. “I would find papers with his name on them. I just couldn’t do anySEE WILSON, P7

thing without running into him.” Wilson’s death took some of the color out of the world. “The year of teaching afterwards was hard,” Morrone said. “We felt like we were going through the motions. A lot of the flair was gone.” Morrone said she hung on to tangible effects long after Wilson was gone. “The computers he set up for me, I wouldn’t let anyone touch them for the longest time,” she said. “They divvied up his belongings, and I got his little blue filing cabinet. It’s in my house now. It means a lot to me.” The loss was wrenching for Kiowa’s students. “It was terribly hard on the kids to have an influence, a father figure like that, and then for him to be ripped from them in such an awful manner,” Morrone said. The investigation The year Wilson died closed without major developments in the case. Wilson’s son Weston told a 7 News reporter in April 2011 that the family hadn’t heard anything from investigators since December. Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap, who was the undersheriff at the time of Wilson’s death, held a news conference on the case on April 29, 2011, saying that investigators had collected DNA evidence in the case, but were unable to link it to anyone. Heap asked for the public’s help in the investigation, saying investigators had been unable to contact a young couple who were at the Conoco near Bennett around the same time as Wilson. A news reporter was able to contact the couple, who had been traveling to the Aspen Music Festival from Florida the night Wilson died. They were eventually cleared in the case. Heap told a 7 News reporter at the time that investigators were working other leads. “We’ve found multiple things that we haven’t shared with you, and we don’t intend to, that we’ll keep moving forward on,” Heap said. Heap declined to comment for this article. By June 14, 2011, a year had passed since Wilson died with no arrests in the case. Elbert County investigators had crisscrossed the country chasing clues, Sheriff ’s Lt. Michelle Nail told 7 News at the time. Nail said they followed leads in Florida, Colorado, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon, and had developed a “firm theory” for Wilson’s death. “Proving it is another thing,” Nail said. She declined to elaborate on the theory. In the absence of evidence, rumors and theories swirled. “If he recognized a car, he would’ve stopped to help,” McFarland said. “That’s my theory, that he stumbled

“I had just pulled into the parking lot of the office when a friend texted me, I fell to my knees and sobbed. I couldn’t make any sense of it.” Sarah McFarland, Wilson’s former student upon something he shouldn’t have. I honestly thought it was probably someone he taught. They would have known if he caught them doing something wrong, his first stop would’ve been the sheriff.” Wilson’s son Weston posted on the online memorial page that he had spread his father’s ashes on the Grays Peak trail, southwest of Georgetown, on the one-year anniversary of his death. Weston added several photos of himself and his brothers climbing mountains with their dad. Wilson had climbed nearly every Colorado fourteener, Morrone remembered. At the high school, teachers hung a plaque, topped by a framed picture of Wilson, for the Wilson “Einstein” Award, a $200 scholarship given to a senior each year in Wilson’s honor. “Although Mr. Wilson will not be there to personally love and challenge Kiowa’s students, many will be blessed in the years to come in honor of him,” Wyatt wrote online at the time. In 2012, Morrone helped raise funds for Kiowa’s school to build an outdoor classroom dedicated to Wilson: a cluster of benches arranged facing a lectern, fronted by a boulder bearing a plaque, reading in part: “Father, Son, Brother, Teacher, Mentor, Friend.” At the crossroads A wooden cross memorializing Wilson stands at the crossroads where he
was found dead. A stone’s throw away, along a barbed-wire fence, a smaller cross, shrouded in grass, marks the spot where his body lay. Heading south from Bennett at night, the crossroads stands out — it’s the first place a driver is forced to slow down, as the otherwise arrowstraight road jags a few hundred feet west around a tight curve. It’s also the first spot on the drive out of view of houses, and few lights are visible on the horizon. Over the hill to the west, about a mile distant, lies Third Bridge, a low bridge over Kiowa Creek that has long been a pilgrimage for Denver-area teens, a location that legend says is haunted by spirits of various tragedies. The site of Wilson’s death was eventually woven into the mystique of the bridge, with “ghost hunter” teens posting YouTube videos of themselves visiting the crossroads late at night. The crossroads is a dark place to those who knew Wilson. “My stomach gets tied up in knots when I drive past where he died,” McFarland said. “It messes with me. I try to keep driving and not focus on it.” The years passed, and Wilson’s death began to scar over. Then, just before Christmas 2017, 7 1/2 years after Wilson was found dead, came a startling announcement: Elbert County investigators had made an arrest in the case. The accused On Dec. 19, the Elbert County Sheriff ’s Office announced it had arrested Daniel Pesch, 34, in Littleton. Pesch, who turned 27 only three days before Wilson died, was charged with first-degree murder, resisting arrest, obstruct- Pesch ing an officer and attempting to escape. A judge sealed all records in the case almost immediately, and neither investigators, prosecutors, nor Pesch’s public defenders have shared any details in the case. The news opened old wounds for those who knew him. “Now we have to relive it all over again,” McFarland said. “We had gotten to where we could live without this overwhelming sense of loss and now they’re bringing us back to 2010. I spent the first month after his arrest trying to figure out how I felt. I was relieved, confused, sad — every emotion I could feel.” In some ways, Pesch’s arrest only added to the enigma. “No news for seven years, then they arrest some guy nobody’s ever heard of,” McFarland said. “The way he died, I’m sure there was more than one person involved. Randy was 6 feet tall. He would’ve fought back. There’s no way one person could have subdued him to kill him in that way.” Pesch’s online footprints give some clues to his life. His LinkedIn profile says he earned a bachelor’s degree in legal studies from the University of Central
Florida, in Orlando, in 2006. The profile says he worked as an assistant property manager for Vail Resorts in Keystone from October 2007 to November 2010, which would include the time of Wilson’s death. After that, the profile says he held a handful of restaurant jobs in Breckenridge. The profile’s last entry says Pesch had moved to the Denver area and started a job at a restaurant at Dry Creek Road and I-25 in May 2017. A search of Pesch’s criminal record reveals a handful more details. Pesch obtained a flurry of traffic tickets, all in either Idaho Springs, Summit County or Breckenridge, around the time of Wilson’s death. In November 2016, Breckenridge police charged him with felony possession of ID documents from multiple people, possession of an illegal weapon and speeding. All the charges were dismissed in February 2017. Breckenridge police were not immediately able to locate an affidavit in the case. More about Pesch comes from his Facebook profile, which he maintained since 2007. The earliest photos on the page show Pesch in his early 20s, goofing around with friends in the mountains, sledding and throwing snowballs. More recent photos show him embracing family members. Records show Pesch was evicted twice: once the winter after Wilson died, and again in September 2017, three months before his arrest. Pesch’s final online footprint comes from December 2017, the month he was arrested. He spent much of the weeks preceding his arrest selling numerous children’s toys and pieces of furniture on a Littleton community Facebook page, posting new items nearly every day. Moving boxes can be seen in the background. Pesch’s next court appearance is expected to be a preliminary hearing at the courthouse in Kiowa, where the prosecution will present some of the evidence against him. The hearing is scheduled for March 30. Until then, those who knew Wilson are left to wait and wonder. “I just want justice for him,” said Karen Carnahan, a former student of Wilson’s who now teaches at the same school. “But I know that no matter how upset we are, he would want us to forgive.” In the meantime, Morrone draws solace from an experience she had in a Denver restaurant the winter after Wilson died. “My wedding was scheduled for the same day as Randy’s birthday,” she said. “Before he died we were joking about how we’d have a great big party. He died in June, and I got married the following November. On the first Valentine’s Day after he died, my husband took me out to dinner. We didn’t tell anyone where we were going. When the waitress brought the bill, she said somebody already paid it for us. We asked who, and she said some guy who already left. We asked her to check, and she came back and said: ‘All I’ve got is Mr. Wilson.’ ”

employees parking in spaces nearest their place of work for the duration of the business day. That’s despite many of those spaces having a two-hour time limit, although the town hasn’t strongly enforced that in the past, officials said. All-day parking is available on the first floor of two downtown parking garages and five parking lots in addition to all-day street parking, as shown on a town map available at CRgov.com. The all-day parking shown is generally, although not exclusively, located on the outskirts of the downtown area. Bower hopes for a “culture shift” in which the downtown business community will begin abiding by time limits, even if that means walking farther to work, to free up space for visitors and customers. Enforcing parking will help spur that on, he said. “I feel sorry for the merchants and the employees,” Crosier said, explaining Bogey’s West has reserved spaces for its staff but she knows not all her neighbors in the business community are so lucky. “Parking is so limited downtown I’m afraid that a lot of employees that work downtown park on the street from 9 until 5, Monday through Friday.” First steps to solutions To encourage people to follow time limits, the town began taking a stricter approach to issuing tickets this year by hiring a community

“They’ve noticed a difference, that customers are finding easier access to parking because people are moving,” Hanners said. Whether it’s a downtown employee or someone stationed in a coffee shop for a long time, Hanners hopes his presence will remind people to move their vehicles once the two hours is up, or to find an all-day spot if they plan to stay downtown for longer. As Bowers stated, Hanners also understands cracking down on parking limits means a culture shift. People aren’t used to it being regularly enforced. So, he’s been willing to issue warnings, initially, as people learn the town is paying more attention to downtown parking. Before creating the new position, Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley said his traffic officers would try to monitor parking but were frequently called away on more pressing issues. Those officers’ main role involves issuing speeding tickets and investigating accidents, he said. The agency brought on Hanners in part to relieve traffic officers from the task of enforcing parking. “I think that Allen’s position is really going to be a benefit to downtown in providing more consistent parking enforcement,” Cauley said. More to come Other solutions to the downtown parking problem may be on the horizon. The Town of Castle Rock has been researching additional ways to remedy the situation. One staff suggestion is to begin requiring developers provide parking with new residential and commercial development downtown. Staff will likely recommend to council a requirement of one parking spot for each residential unit built downtown, and for council to require parking with each new commercial development. Town code does not currently require parking with downtown developments. If approved, those requirements would be in addition to staff ’s recent reconfiguring of downtown park-
A changing downtown Future development may also diversify parking options in time, Bower said. Last year, a developer hoping to bring a condominium and retail development downtown also pitched the idea of incorporating public parking into the project. The development, called Festival Park Commons, would be partially located where the townowned public parking lot behind town hall now sits. Town legal staff have been researching the idea since then, Bower said. A preliminary application for the project shows in addition to proposing 132 condos and 22,000 square feet of retail space, the project would add 250 parking spaces to what’s available at the site now, for a total of 344 public parking spaces. More private parking for residents of the condominiums is also included in the proposal. The changing landscape in the downtown area — through projects like the Festival Park redesign and the Riverwalk development — all affect the parking issue. “When you have a vibrant downtown,” Cauley said, “you have more people in the area.” Project owners touted the Riverwalk as a potential economic catalyst for the area. The Riverwalk is a $60 million development bringing apartments, office space and retail to the heart of downtown. Some downtown business owners said upon the project’s approval they welcomed the project, hopeful it would boost business by bringing more people to the area. And although Crosier agreed, the project also resurfaced concern around downtown parking and traffic along Wilcox Street, she said. Those are reasons she called the potential requirement for parking with each new downtown development essential. “I think that should be a must,” Crosier said. Optimistic for the future Staff presented their intended recommendations for parking in the downtown at a March 1 open house, also attended by Crosier, in order to get community input on the ideas. “I was very happy that I went to the meeting,” Crosier said. “I learned a lot of great information. Met a lot of really great people.” Crosier is glad to see the town’s recent effort toward improving parking downtown. She hopes they keep up the momentum. Bower said he too is happy with staff ’s recommendations. He’s not sure how his fellow councilmembers feel but said passing the recommendations would be “huge” for the downtown area. “I’m very optimistic,” Bower said, “we’ll end up getting more parking downtown.”

Advocates, lawmakers back efforts to bolster education funding House bill, ballot measure would work in tandem to tackle education issues BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A state House bill and a ballot measure could increase education funding throughout Colorado. Colorado House Bill 1232, which is currently awaiting hearing by the House Education Committee, seeks to create a new public school funding distribution formula for preschool through secondary education. The modernized school finance formula, proposed by Colorado superintendents, aspires to provide all 178 Colorado school districts with an increased level of funding for all students, while at the same time establishing a more equitable distribution of funding for students who are underserved and/or face the greatest challenges to being ready for college or a career when they finish high school. “The bill making its way through Legislature would change how the pie gets sliced,” said state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, who sits on the Senate education committee and the Legislative Interim Committee on School Finance, which is charged with examining how to update the school finance formula.
“The last time the formula was updated was in 1994 through the Public School Finance Act of 1994. “If coupled with a separate initiative for ballot, we can increase the size of the pie,” Zenzinger explained. “They go hand in hand. Why have a conversation about changing the formula if we don’t have a commitment to fund it?” The Great Schools, Thriving Communities ballot initiative seeks to increase that pie by creating a quality public education fund financed through higher taxes on incomes above $150,000 and on “C” corporations. Organizers maintain that if passed, the initiative would providing sustainable support for schools by stabilizing property taxes. The ballot initiative is designed in a way to align with the House bill. “We are working together, learning together and coming up with a proposal that would meet everyone’s interest,” said Susan Meek, communication director for Great Education Colorado, the organization sponsoring the ballot initiative. “It wasn’t a good idea to just raise revenue when we could lose it to the Gallagher Amendment.” The Gallagher Amendment is just one factor that makes state education funding in Colorado complex. The Gallagher Amendment, passed in 1982, says the state must adjust the assessment rate of residential real property to ensure the percentage of the assessed value of taxable
residential real property relative to the assessed value of all taxable real property remains the same as in 1985. The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), passed in 1992, also causes problems by putting pressure on state resources by generally reducing local share and increasing state share. A third factor is Amendment 23, passed in 2000, which says that the statewide base per pupil funding must annually increase by at least inflation, putting pressure on state resources by increasing the amount of total program funding. In 2010, nationwide recession resulted in lower state revenues, and Gallagher, TABOR, and Amendment 23 combined resulted in a state share amount that was more than the state could pay and still meet other budgetary demands. Because of this, the General Assembly created the negative factor to reduce the state’s share of total program proportionately across school districts. The effect is that the negative factor reduces total program funding for most school districts because of reduced state share. “It’s a complicated set of factors,” said Dr. Jason Glass, superintendent of Jefferson County Public Schools. “I think the punchline on school funding each year is that the final numbers are determined by the state Legislature. They determine what money is for each school district through a compli-
cated set of factors.” One thing that Glass said makes state education finding even more difficult is that education is competing against other needs in the state. “Everything the state funds is underfunded,” Glass said. “Legislature is going through the process of balancing needs to determine right mixture. We don’t know if it’s a year they want to highlight transportation over education.” Issues in funding that the interim committee is looking at include whether the state is counting students correctly and whether it is adequately defining who is at-risk, cost-of-living adjustments and district sizes. But Zenzinger said even if all those problems are addressed, there is still the local share problem that the Gallagher Amendment, TABOR and Amendment 23 create. “We have to make sure that we are doing a better job of having the necessary resources to eliminate that negative factor that comes at the end of the process,” Zenzinger said. “The proposal the superintendents are putting forward will help modernize that formula, but it’s worthless if at the end of the day we end up carving up the same pie. “We need to have a really honest conversation about whether that base amount is adequate and equitable and whether that base amount is even close to what the national average is. And it’s not.”

Nonprofit aims to open site for 12-step programs in Castle Rock Clubhouse would be place where groups could rent space BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When Amanda Flanagan still lived in New York, she knew the recovery community to be a thriving place for people working toward sobriety through groups like Alcoholics Anonymous. “There’s meetings on every corner,” she said of her former home state. Then she moved to Castle Rock three years ago, and the scene looked different. There are meetings available to those who need them, she said, but not like the bustling network she knew before. A search of the Denver Area Central Committee of Alcoholics Anonymous database showed 15 meetings are available in Castle Rock during the week through a handful of groups, as of the site’s last update on March 13. “When we moved here we felt that there was a need in the town, which is growing leaps and bounds,” Flanagan said. “We felt that the recovery community needed to grow with it.” For roughly the past year, Flanagan has been helping to raise money needed to open a facility called the Castle Rock Clubhouse. The vision is for a place that could serve as home for 12-step programs

Police use of social media to deliver news concerns some experts Law enforcement agencies say they are being more proactive
of panic and pain, and undoubtedly illustrates the danger Deputy Zack Parrish and other officers met during that call. Open government advocates also consider it a dramatic example of law enforcement agencies’ expanding efforts to release their own accounts of events to the public and media. There’s nothing wrong with police communicating through social media, open government advocates said. But they worry it allows law enforcement to bypass questions from traditional media and warn that taking advantage of the tools requires agencies to be completely transparent, whatever the situation. Parrish was among three deputies in three counties shot to death while on duty in barely more than a month. The calls that preceded the killings varied — a mentally ill veteran, a reported fight and a stolen car investigation. But the departments took similar approaches, relying on their social

It opens with a warning: This video contains footage from real police body cameras. Viewer discretion is advised. Then, an introduction: “I would like you to hear from me, what happened,’’ Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock says, facing the camera. The next eight minutes provide a carefully edited glimpse of the events that led to a 29-year-old deputy’s Dec. 31 death inside an apartment complex in Highlands Ranch. The video posted Jan. 8 on the department’s social media accounts is punctuated by gunshots and shouts
media accounts to release information and giving news outlets limited opportunity to ask questions about what happened. Police have made use of social media for years, from viral videos of officers’ dance-offs with kids to the Boston Police Department’s extensive use of Twitter following the 2013 marathon bombing. Agencies are eager to cut the middleman and tell their own stories, said Lauri Stevens, a former TV news reporter who founded an annual conference in 2010 that teaches departments about promoting themselves on social media. “It’s not any less valid than any media, in this day and age,’’ she said. Stevens said many agencies are getting better at connecting with residents on routine days, sharing updates and knocking down rumors during high-profile incidents. Sgt. William Hutchison, Palm
Springs, California, police spokesman, presented at Stevens’ conference last year about his agency’s communications strategy after two officers were shot dead in 2016. Looking back, Hutchison said he would have posted even more information directly to Facebook and Twitter. Hutchison said he doesn’t view social accounts as a way to avoid traditional media, and complimented local coverage of the officers’ killings. “More people watch the news than the number of people who watch us, and you’ve got to maintain that relationship,’’ he said. “But law enforcement is becoming more skilled and has (our) own platform now that we didn’t have before.’’ But that takes a staff capable of providing regular updates as they balance other responsibilities, a challenge for smaller departments on any day.

Remembering a woman who made a clean slate of cleaning
argaret Atwood — remember her? — said, “In the spring, at the end of QUIET the day, you should DESPERATION smell like dirt.” To be honest, I had never heard of Atwood, but I liked the quote. The quote led me to her. She is a novelist and a poet and an inventor. I invented something that never got off the ground. I am Craig Marshall still looking for an Smith investor. I invented a smoke alarm that doesn’t chirp you to death. It says, in
a soothing voice, “My battery is low, Craig.” (You could program it to say, “My battery is low, Otis,” if your name was Otis, or even if it wasn’t.) Every time one of my smoke alarms fatigues and chirps, I spend 20 minutes or more trying to determine which one it is. In the meantime, the dog goes out of his mind. I was looking for a good quote about spring, and that’s how I found Atwood. She’s Canadian. If she were an American, she’d be on a stamp someday. Her life has been impressive. Of course, anyone can be on a stamp these days. You can have stamps made with anything you want on them, and they’re legal tender.
I don’t feel any differently about spring than I do about winter, unless we’ve had a good sock of winter. And we haven’t. Spring will be welcome nevertheless, even though I don’t have any dirt. I don’t plant anything, and I never have. Maybe it was too much apartment living when I was younger. Or maybe it is an ineptitude when it comes to home-growing flowers and vegetables. There are a few things that change around here when spring arrives. Russell shows up, for one thing. Russell will get the sprinkler system running and tell me a bad joke while he’s doing it. The yard will be aerated and fed. And finally the mower will come out
and make too much racket. Spring cleaning? There will be none. Cleaning is year around, partly because of my mother, who at one time owned five vacuum cleaners. They weren’t all alike. Each one was designated for a different purpose and zone. The upright couldn’t go where the handheld could go. Our house was never a home. It was always too clean. I keep a clean house, but it is nothing like the houses I lived in when I was growing up. I felt like the Bubble Boy without the bubble. Crumbs were the enemy. The bad boy in me then, which holds true today, left crumbs for my mother SEE SMITH, P15

ver the past 10 years, many of you have asked me a similar question. You have asked me for one of the best lessons that I have learned over the course of my career and my life. Historically I have not called them out specifically, instead I have strived WINNING to pass along some WORDS of those lessons through insights shared in this weekly column. Today, however, I will share what I believe is one of the greatest life lessons I have ever learned. May it have the same Michael Norton impact on you as it did on me. In 2008, my boss, my mentor, and my friend Zig Ziglar was asked to speak at an executive retreat for about 400 people. The sponsoring corporation was a Fortune 50 company. The executive retreat was taking place over three days and they had several big-name celebrities, subject matter experts, and professional athletes who were going to speak to
the group at different times over the three-day event. Mr. Ziglar was going to be the last speaker on the final day of the retreat. And for me, well I was the president of the company at the time and I was invited to the event as well. Mostly I was just Zig’s bag man and I was happy and proud to have that job for Zig at any time. Mr. Ziglar was scheduled to speak in the afternoon. The lunch that day was held oceanside with white linen tablecloths and a fine dining experience set up on the beach. We were invited to sit with the CEO, the CFO, and the chairman of the board along with the other guest speakers and celebrities who were participating that week. At that point they had all given their talk and the only one left to speak was Zig Ziglar later that afternoon. As we enjoyed lunch, there were some very good discussions going on. Some very intriguing questions and stimulating conversation. I watched and observed Mr. Ziglar as he quietly and deliberately ate his lunch and took it all in. At a table with some very highly educated people, extremely business savvy

folks, and celebrities who were not at a loss for opinions or words, it became obvious that Mr. Ziglar was not participating in the conversation. Not yet anyway. A question came up and before anyone else could answer the CEO stopped and asked Mr. Ziglar if he would like to share his thoughts. And Zig looked at me, winked, put down his fork and knife and said, “Thank you, I thought you would never ask, and why yes I do have a thought or two I would like to share.” The question was about character and integrity in a corporate environment. Zig summed it all up, confidently, quietly, with conviction, and from a position of confidence based on his own fundamental belief system. I can’t include every single word Zig spoke that day, so I will give you the punch line, “Reputation is what you have done in this life, character and integrity is who you are.” In sharing one of life’s great lessons with you, you might be thinking it is Mr. Ziglar’s response that I quoted above. Although it certainly is another great life lesson, the lesson I want to pass along is how Mr. Ziglar, at a table with prominent and powerful business executives, celebrities, and professional athletes, did not get caught up in the “who’s who” of life. He sat quietly, listened, waited for his moment, and then provided a response that had every single person at the table hanging on the edge of their seat.

In many cases, the concern or threat is determined to be unfounded or non-credible, meaning there is no concern for the well-being or safety of our students and staff. There is a lot of work that goes into determining that a concern or threat is unfounded. Is that a bad thing? Absolutely not! We are committed to investigating each and every concern
How often do we just jump in and try and become part of a conversation, competing for air time, and wanting to prove our knowledge? How often do we think about what it is we want to say instead of listening, truly listening, and waiting for the appropriate time to respond? It’s one thing to read books, watch videos and take courses on best practices and business principles, and I strongly advocate for all of those as we grow personally and professionally. But I was so very blessed to have watched it happen real-time, live, and right in front of my eyes. I still pinch myself whenever I think about my 12 years of working with Zig Ziglar, his family, and the many people who were part of the Ziglar corporation. The lesson: Humble quietness, active listening, and responding from a position of confidence and conviction when appropriate. No blustering to hear yourself speak. So how about you? Do you make it a point to listen, truly listen, and then respond when appropriate or are you already thinking about what you want to say? Maybe you too have mastered the art of quiet humbleness and active listening. Either way, I would live to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we are blessed enough to capture one of life’s lesson and then apply it in our own life, it really will be a better than good week.

to ferret. It wasn’t entirely objectionable to her: It rewarded her, and gave her day a purpose. She’s gone, and I wish I could ask her what she did all day, home alone, while dad was at work, and while Cindy and I were in school. I think I know the answer: She cleaned things over and over, and cleaned things that didn’t need to be cleaned.
I know she didn’t watch television or drink or take snoozes. She cleaned. Former Texas governor Ann Richards said she did not want her tombstone to read, “She kept a really clean house.” My mother, however, good old Shirley, would have loved a legacy exactly like that.

That is our responsibility and our duty — to keep our children safe. There are times when the situation escalates — we may not be able to determine whether or not a threat is credible right away — or, in a worstcase scenario, it is determined to be a credible threat. Behind the scenes School and district administration supports the investigation and prepares parent communication. This takes time. It is nearly impossible to compete with the speed of social media, as we are committed to sharing up-to-date, confirmed and accurate information. We want our parents to know as much about the situation as we are able to share. There are times when we cannot say as much as we would like, as we do not want to jeopardize a law enforcement investigation in any way — especially when it involves the safety of our kids. But know this: We are committed to keeping our students, staff and community safe. And we are committed to sharing as much information as we can, as quickly as we can. It truly takes us all working together to protect our kids.

Toastmasters explains move from California to Douglas County Price, workforce needs drive nonprofit’s relocation BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When Toastmasters International announced in October the nonprofit planned to relocate its global headquarters from California to unincorporated northern Douglas County, it marked the culmination of a yearslong search for a more affordable location with a talent-rich workforce, organization heads said. Toastmasters International teaches public speaking and leadership skills to its more than 352,000 members in 16,400 clubs in 141 countries. This month, Toastmasters scheduled a ribbon cutting signaling its transition to the new office, at 9127 South Jamaica St., near I-25 and E-470, which it pur-
chased for $19.5 million. Toastmasters will occupy approximately one-third of the 106,575-square-foot-building and is seeking tenants for the vacant office space. With the move comes new jobs but also new residents to the Denver metro area. The first round of employees began working from the new location in January, CEO Daniel Rex said. They hope the rest can follow by April. About 60 employees are relocating with the organization, and they’ll hire an additional 65 to 85 people within the first year of operation in Colorado for a variety of positions — from entry-level to senior leadership. “As the company continues to grow, I don’t know what the limit is or how long that will take, but we’ll continue to hire. I’ve been very impressed with the workforce here,” Rex said. In August 2017, Toastmasters International reported is 23rd consecutive
year of membership growth. Membership rose by just over 2 percent in the 2016-2017 program year and saw the creation of 1,539 clubs, although there was also an increase in the number of suspended clubs, with 964 being suspended in 2017. Lynn Myers, the vice president of economic development with Denver South Economic Development Partnership, said attracting a headquarters to the south metro area is always positive news to the organization. “We are very pleased to have them in the area. Certainly they are a quality employer and they bring an international flavor,” Myers said. The prospects of hiring from Denver’s “highly educated workforce” was alluring to Toastmasters during its location search, Rex said, and based on the region’s growth they trusted the pool of qualified candidates would remain strong. “Millennials are attracted to the
Denver metro area and are moving here with or without jobs,” Rex said. Toastmasters International left its home in California, where the nonprofit has operated for 93 years, partially because they outgrew their headquarters of 26 years in Rancho Santa Margarita, Rex said, but also in search of a more affordable location. International President Balraj Arunasalam, who hails from Sri Lanka, said Toastmasters hasn’t forgotten its Golden State roots. “Our legacy will remain that we started in California,” he said, adding that the need for a strong workforce and cost-effective location spurred the move. Through its nationwide search, the nonprofit considered headquartering in locations on both the West and East coasts. “We were looking for a place that

ven opera singers understand that their artform of choice can be easy to make fun of at times, even if the things people assume about opera are wrong. “People think operas are impossible to understand, or that they’re just people screaming on stage,” said Cherity Koepke, director of education and community programs and From left, bassbaritone Andrew Hiers, baritones Heath Martin and Nicholas Kreider, and tenor Nathan Ward perform during the Opera Colorado Young Artists’ annual An Afternoon of American Song on March 4 at the Opera Colorado Opera Center in Englewood.

director of Opera Colorado’s Young Artist Program. “A lot of people think opera singers are all old, but they don’t understand the diversity of voices coming from the next generation of singers.” Nathan Ward, who initially studied cello and piano in high school, understands the hesitancy many people have towards the centuries-old musical form. “I was skeptical even while I was watching my first opera, right until the end, when I heard all these motifs woven together,” Ward, who is a member of the Young Artist Program, remembers. “Now, I get to be part of the first opera experience for students all over Colorado, and that means a lot.” SEE OPERA, P20

or a long time, I was one of those people who wrote off horror films as cheap scares or excuses to get as gory as possible. But once you study what a good horror film can be, it becomes obvious the genre is especially suited to exploring outdated social norms and changes COMING the world. ATTRACTIONS inThat was one of the things that attracted Denver native Haylar Garcia to the genre, when he became interested in screenwriting and filmmaking after an initial interest in music. “Horror films are Clarke Reader wonderful for mimicking issues seen in our culture,” he said. “I love allegory, and so social horror films are really interesting to me as a filmmaker.” Now Garcia’s third film, “Apartment 212” which was shot in the metro area and in his RiNo studio, is being released in 10 cities, on-demand, and is available on iTunes, Google Play, and other streaming services, after being acquired by Gracitas Ventures. The movie was released at the Sie FilmCenter in Denver, 2510 E. Colfax Ave., as well as theaters in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Detroit and other major cities. Produced by Unreal Media and Wrecking Ball Productions, in addition to Gravitas, the film stars Penelope Mitchell, Sally Kirkland and Kyle Gass, of Tenacious D fame. Mitchell stars as Jennifer, a small-town girl fleeing an abusive relationship and aiming for a new start in the city. But when she starts waking up with bites taken out of her, she has to confront the demons hot on her trail. “The film deals with empowerment and overcoming abuse, but it’s also about the things that eat at all of us in our daily lives,” Garcia explained. “We all have things that scare us, things we need to face that take a lot out of us.” The film has won several awards in the horror-film festival circuit, including Best Horror Feature Film at Los Angels’ Shriekfest. As an Denver native, it’s important to Garcia that his films highlight the thriving arts scene in the metro area. “There are so any great artists in the area that deserve a voice, and so many creative communities that deserve to be employed,” he said. “It just seems like the right thing to do to bring national talent here to be a part of it all.” SEE CLARKE, P20

irst, you take your partner’s hand and look him or her in the eye. Next, you introduce yourself. Then, you ask for their name. Last, you give a compliment. These are the guidelines of Bessie’s Hope, a program that brings generations together by coordinating visits between volunteers and seniors in assisted living homes. Linda Holloway started the foundation in 1994 after her grandmother, Bessie, with whom she had a close relationship with, moved into a nursing home. “These people didn’t wake up one morning and say, ‘I’m going to live in a nursing home,’” said Holloway, who lives in Thornton. “It helps them see that they are worth our time and attention.” Bessie’s Hope works with a variety of people across the Denver metro area, from kindergarteners to at-risk youth to corporate groups. For one hour, they are trained on how to interact with aging adults who may have health or cognitive challenges, such as dementia. Then, the group meets at a nursing home or assisted living community and spends an hour or two making crafts and playing games. On March 14, about 10 students from a community service club at Moun-
tain Ridge Middle School in Highlands Ranch met at Brookdale Highlands Ranch, 9160 S. University Blvd. The residential community provides memory care for seniors. In a welcoming room with wooden tables and chairs, the young students sat next to or across from residents. Together they talked, worked on puzzles and decorated totes. “It teaches you patience and positivity,” said Ally Atkins, a 13-year-old who goes to Ranchview but participates in community service when she can. “You want to make sure they know they belong in this world.” The visits benefit both parties, said Holloway. Kids learn to respect and have compassion for their elders. Residents get to interact with visitors, which many don’t have often, Holloway has found. “Some don’t have any family, just the staff, who are also taking care of everyone else,” she said.
HOW YOU CAN HELP Bessie’s Hope is hosting a Bridge of Love Gala from 5:30-10 p.m. April 7 at Denver Marriott Tech Center, 4900 S. Syracuse St., Denver. The evening includes a silent auction, live auction, dinner and dance. Regular seating is $150; patron seating is $250. Proceeds benefit the foundation, which brings together nursing home residents and youths. For more information, visit www.bessieshope.org/event/2018-bridge-love. Atkins spent the hour creating a heart-shaped card for Arzella Dirksen, a resident seated next to her. When she received the gift, Dirksen lit up. “You are so kind and beautiful,” the card said. “Don’t let anyone tell you differently.” At the end of the visit, beaming with excitement, Dirksen said she was going to hang the card in her room. “This,” she said, “was the best ever.”

OPERA FROM PAGE 18
Since its creation in 1983, Opera Colorado has been working to keep the form alive and thriving in the metro area and elsewhere in the state through performances at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, in classrooms, and theaters in towns like Telluride and Steamboat Springs. “We produce two large-scale, grand operas a year, and a contemporary, smaller chamber piece in the winter,” said Greg Carpenter, general and artistic director of Opera Colorado. “Some of our most significant work is our work with young people — by going into schools and touring with our young adults program, we reach about 40,000 students a year.” In May, Opera Colorado will be producing Giuseppe Verdi’s comic opera, “Falstaff,” but it has an equally exciting day coming on Saturday, March 24 — Family Day at the Opera. Created as a free way to introduce parents and children alike to opera, the event allows people to see members of the Young Artist Program perform shortened, English versions of the touring productions — in this case, “Cinderella” and “The Elixir of Love.” There will also be activities, food, and other fun ways to experience the world of opera. Audiences literally sit on stage at the performers’ feet.
“After being with the organization’s education department for years, I’ve found the best way to get children in opera is to show them the classics, instead of operas created specifically for children,” Koepke said. “What we do is abridge the opera, and translate it into English, but it’s still the classic. We’ve also found making connections to their lives helps kids relate to the opera.” The Young Artist Program is eight months long and provides the seven members with smaller mainstage roles, mentorship, coaching, and opportunities to do community outreach. As a member, Ward sees how open to opera children can be, especially without the preconceived notions so many adults are saddled with. “It’s great that kids be willing to try this art form, or at least listen to more of it, because of the performances we do,” he said. “This music has existed for centuries because it is good, and if we can get kids to have an open mind, that’s great.” Even if the children who watch the opera aren’t inspired to be a performer of any kind, there’s still a variety of careers available, from lights and tech to make up and sound design. “The themes of opera are as relevant today as when they were written,” Carpenter said. “Going to the opera a great chance to do something social with people, something you can go to dinner and discuss.”
AUGUST WILSON’S APRIL 5-21, 2018 PREVIEW: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4
Directed by Wren T. Brown, founder of L.A.'s Ebony Repertory Theatre, August Wilson's Fences revolves around the life of garbage collector Troy Maxson. When his rise through the Negro baseball leagues hit the ceiling of racial prejudice, Maxson turned away from a world of unfulfilled promises and denied opportunities. But in 1957, his son Cory, an emerging football star, sees the world through very different eyes, and his wife Rose yearns for an outlet for her love. Featuring a stellar cast of stars of stage and screen, Fences is a sensational drama that will move you deeply, staying with you long after you leave the theater.

Springtime for Lone Tree Brewing The Front Range is on the cusp of warmer weather, when greens start appearing amidst all the browns and yellows. Which makes it the perfect time for Lone Tree Brewing Company, 8200 Park Meadows Drive, No. 8222 in Lone Tree, to announce its 2018 batch of Bière de Printemps. This is a spring seasonal that belongs to Lone Tree’s Branching Out Series of small-batch, specialty beers. Bière de Printemps, a Bière de Mars, is a palate-awakening French-style spring ale fermented with French ale yeast that yields spicy aromas and subtle citrus notes. It is brewed with Noble Hops and a touch of soft winter wheat. The bright lemon notes from this beer’s yeast finish out the experience and open the senses to the aromatics of spring. The drink was bottled for the first time in 2017, and is available on draft at Lone Tree’s tasting room and in bombers across Colorado while supplies last. For more information, visit www. lonetreebrewingco.com. This is the music you’re searching for There are some movies that just wouldn’t be the same without the score to deepen the story and add some nuance to characters. And composer John Williams’ score to the “Star Wars” films is perhaps the quintessential example of the power of the two forms. For me, the first film, “A New Hope,” will always be the best entry into the series, and it features some of Williams’ most iconic themes. Now fans of the movies, music or both can experience them in a new way. The Colorado Symphony will be performing the score to “A New Hope” live while the film shows at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 22 at the 1st Bank Center, 11450 Broomfield Lane in Broomfield. The performance is sure to leave you humming these classic tunes for the

God Save the Queens is an evening for all genders and gender expressions, queer people and allies alike to come together and hear a variety of punk subgenres, from postpunk to protopunk, goth, deathrock, queercore, riot grrrl, electropunk and more.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — A$AP Ferg at Ogden Theatre When it comes to A$AP Mob, a rap collective from New York City, the name most people probably recognize is A$AP Rocky.

But A$AP Ferg, another member of the group, has proven himself to be the breakout star, bringing a dark menace to even his most radiofriendly tracks. He’s already released two very good albums, and now he’s heading to Denver. A$AP Ferg will be stopping by the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 28. In addition to Ferg, audiences will be treated to performances from Denzel Curry and IDK, both off whom are making serious waves in the hip-hop community. For tickets, visit www.ogdentheatre. com.

Make-believe trading is investment in future Stock Market Challenge lets students be brokers for a day BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Some students stood on chairs. Others waved their arms and made cryptic hand gestures. The noise in the room was deafening, and nobody stayed in their seats. While it might sound like a classroom out of control, the students were actually participating in Junior Achievement’s semi-annual Stock Market Challenge on March 15, held at the Charles Schwab conference center in Lone Tree, where they got to be stock traders on Wall Street for a day. More than 1,200 students from along the Front Range participated in the two-day event, where school teams tested their investing skills by “investing” $500,000. Chalmers Powell, 14, a freshman at Regis, was dressed for the part of stockbroker, sporting a suit and tie. He spent time before the opening bell searching for the “hot tippers,” or the people on the floor who would be delivering hot stock tips to the competitors. “I’m trying to be the first one to get the hot tips,” said Chalmers. “My strategy for investing is to do it early, then buy low and sell high.”

dizzy,” said Aryana. “There’s a lot of noise and a lot of activity. I’m going to focus on the stocks.” Junior Achievement is a nonprofit organization that partners with schools and community businesses to teach financial literacy, entrepreneurship and workforce readiness to students in grades kindergarten through 12th along the Front Range. “We really want to help kids learn to become financially responsible, and empower them to take charge of their financial futures,” said Wallace. Kent Clark, senior vice president of Charles Schwab, along with several employees, volunteered for the event, and said it was good to see young people taking part in their own futures. “This event is really exciting for us,” said Clark. “We believe in raising the overall financial literacy of our clients, so this is really a good alignment for us. It’s great that we can help facilitate their learning.”

researched during class before the competition. Students bought and sold stocks old-school Wall Street style, passing orders and considering tips. Throughout the trading students were given updates that changed the dynamic of their portfolio, forcing them to change strategies. “We’ll have someone announce, for instance, there was a storm that wiped out most of the banana producers. Students will have to decide what to do with the information,” said Jodi Wallace, development manager for JA. Aryana Taylor, 18, a senior at Highland Ranch High, teamed up with fellow students Alexandra O’Brien and Paige Fitzgerald, and their strategy was to watch which stocks went up, which went down, and make the trades. Being a broker is not for the faint of heart, though, according to Aryana. “My strategy is to try not to get

Critter creations fill ‘Stampede’ exhibit at art museum Curators chose animal figures for show during shutdown of North Building
IF YOU GO The Denver Art Museum is located on 13th Avenue and Bannock Street, just west of Broadway in downtown Denver, with entry to the parking garage off 12th Avenue. It is open seven days a week. Members are admitted free, with admission charged for non-members, except on the first Saturday of the month, when all except special extra-fee exhibits (i.e. “Degas”) are free. denverartmuseum.org.
BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When it was time to close down the Denver Art Museum’s 50-year-old North (Gio Ponti) Building for an update, curators from all departments were asked to select an assortment of animals, as portrayed by artists ancient and modern — creatures mythical and realistic — in two and three dimensions: sculptures, paintings, textiles, ceramics. Objects range from ancient fierce dragon-like temple guards to Deborah Butterfield’s relaxed recent bronze life-sized horses — and all sorts of wondrous critters in between. These were to be combined into a large exhibit called “Stampede,” filling both the third and fourth floors at the more recently constructed Hamilton Building. In addition to delivering an astonishing assortment of creeping, flying, walking, swimming and just plain magical creatures, a sense of humor emerged. The resulting well-organized display is a delight for children and adults.
ABOUT GENE NEIGES
Children are enjoying this group of three Deborah Butterfield horses, exhibited in “Stampede.” COURTESY PHOTO Objects are divided into categories; Horses, Tales de Fabulas, Posters, Domesticated, Sacred, Elemental, Transformed ... The Horses category, for example, includes a group of three Butterfield horses that are especially popular with kids, according to Highlands Ranch docent Gene Neiges. Families can make up a game up — “how many cats can you see?” — for instance. Neiges mentions an elusive one hidden in a “Whistler’s Mother” type of painting, which includes an image of a small painting on the

wall depicting said feline. Another entertaining image is Georgia O’Keeffe’s painting of a cow, with head turned up and tongue sticking waay out. And, don’t miss Wenling Chen’s hilarious fiberglass procession, “Riding to Happiness (with 56 little pigs)!” Images can range from an ancient ceramic Mexican “Standing Dog, Comala Style,” dated @ 300 B.C.-A.D. 300 and standing 10 inches tall to Kiki Smith’s fanciful near-life-sized “Genevieve and the May Wolf ” to Joe Andoe’s huge, in-your-face painting, “Untitled. Horse in Landscape,” which greets one entering the exhibit. The Horses area also includes Chinese artist Xu Beliong’s ink on paper rendition of a horse — and a life-sized mounted Indian with beaded saddle. Back to the whimsical, one smiles upon finding a piece purchased for the DAM from the delightful Nick Cave exhibit: “Untitled” (2013), with a rotund furry creature riding a teeter-totter. And Peter Gugger’s “Dog Barking at Two Women,” from the textile collection that has appeared around town on posters — and Elliot Erwitt’s photograph, “New York City 1974,” with a small dog on a leash and wearing a hat — and only the legs of its owners shown.

Gene Neiges, a Highlands Ranch resident who volunteers at the Denver Art Museum three or four days a week, said he had retired and was searching five years ago for something interesting to do when a friend told him about the concentrated one-year docent training program at the Denver Art Museum. While he owns some artworks, he had no background in art history, but after the strong training program, he leads exhibit tours and can help visitors find a specific item and information about it, if they wish. The active volunteer assists with Guest Services when not called upon to lead tours. At present, he is focused on the “Linking Asia” and “Degas” exhibits, but is familiar with other areas as well. For each new exhibit that opens, docents receive concentrated training so they are ready to share history and technical information with the thousands of visitors, young and older, who enter the doors. (Visitors may request tour times and reserve a spot — or they may prefer to wander unassisted.) a polar bear swimming is included in the “Elemental” collection, while Rick Barlow’s large painting in “Transformed” is called “Masquerade.” Under “Domesticated,” a visitor will find Robert Motherwell’s “Angus,” multiple black cattle spotted in a field, a Medieval procession that includes unicorns, a Mexican Colonial family with pets, the aforementioned O’Keeffe painting and a crude wooden ox cart. The variety seems endless and surely include items not previously displayed along with often-shown favorites. Plan to spend a leisurely couple hours or more of discovery. Include with general admission.

“Linking Asia,” at the Denver Art Museum only through April 1, starts with the legendary Silk Road, which included land and sea routes, illustrating how ideas, techniques, materials and trade goods traveled hundreds of miles and farther, setting the style in faraway lands, when it came to Asian china. (The emperor of Turkey in Istanbul had a huge collection of blue and white china, for example, and it was stylish in Europe as well.) As a visitor enters the carefully organized “Linking Asia” gallery, there is a huge painted map of China during the Ming Dynasty, dated 1681, (loaned by Wesley A. Brown). Painted in Japan 40 years after the Ming Dynasty, it shows cities, mountains, trade routes in China — and also inspires the colors used in the exhibit, said Tianlong Jiao, Joseph de Heer curator of Asian Art, who organized this fascinating look at history in a part of the world much in today’s news. Trade goods from China, Japan, Korea, India, Indonesia, Iran and Afghanistan flowed back and forth, not only across the continent, but to Europe and Turkey as well. Another large map shows more trade routes. Busy international trade (and, undoubtedly, arguments about it) is not new! Enterprising businessmen years ago commissioned artisans to create objects like those being made in faraway places, and cultural exchange flourished. An interesting story of the travels of Buddhist images and religious practices through Asia adds another facet. Tianlong Jiao, pleased with the way

this exhibit illustrates interaction between nations, is thinking this may be the way to organize the Asian collection when it moves back into the “now under-remodeling” North Building, designed 50 years ago by Gio Ponti. Gene Nieges, an active docent with the Denver Art Museum — and a Highlands Ranch resident, as is curator Tianlong Jiao — looks forward to improvements in that older building, recalling how he had to “fight with other docents over two elevators, with 300-400 kids in tow” who needed to be upstairs. Nieges thinks the Linking Asia exhibit, where he frequently leads tours, is “great for kids because it shows how we get goods and products today from all over the world. With the Silk Road, art and religion also moved across the world.” The exhibit is full of Islamic art, made in the French art form for Islamic Chinese. “Kids enjoy Funereal art, especially what was buried with the dead.” Tianlong Jiao called special attention to a 268-inch-long scroll from the museum collection, painted in silk, which has never been displayed before. It is called “Tribute Bearers” and was probably painted by Qiu Ying in the 1500s. It shows 10 foreign delegations traveling to pay tribute to the Chinese court — each with exotic features, distinctive costumes and gifts. It illustrates international relations in its period, according to catalog essayist Yang Wang. This Pan-Asian exhibit includes objects from 20 countries and spans 2,000 years. Most are from the DAM’s own collection with a few loaned items. It is displayed in the Gallagher Gallery on the first floor. Admission is included with regular admission to the museum, which is at 13th Avenue and Bannock Street in downtown Denver. denverartmuseum.org.

Sheriff Howard Sills leads rural Georgia’s Putnam County agency, which has no full-time communications staff. He became the primary spokesman during a June manhunt for two inmates accused of killing two prison guards on a transfer bus. Sills provided no social media updates and instead held regular press conferences on the case. He continued taking reporters’ calls on his personal cellphone through the day the inmates were arrested. Traditional media “get things right usually,’’ Sills said. “And if they don’t get things right, it’s usually our fault.’’ In Douglas County, the department cited an ongoing investigation to deny media requests for body camera footage from the call that led to Parrish’s death. Days later, the agency posted its video to Facebook and Twitter , which includes some of the material denied to media. The video omits the shooter’s face and voice. And it includes only audio of the moment Matthew Riehl fired through his bedroom door, fatally wounding Parrish and striking four
other officers trying to take the shooter into custody on a mental health hold. In an interview with The Associated Press nine days after the shooting, Douglas County’s sheriff defended releasing the edited video after the department denied journalists’ openrecords requests for the complete footage. “I knew that if I went to the press, radio and television, I’m going to get 60 seconds, and the rest was going to hit the editor’s floor,’’ Spurlock said. “I’m not going to be able to tell the story in such a fashion that I thought was appropriate for the dignity of Zack Parrish and the other four officers that were shot — and what I believe the citizens of Douglas County deserve.’’ Spurlock’s office released roughly 50 hours of unedited body camera video the same day he spoke with the AP. It included Parrish’s shooting, the injured officers’ escape, and arriving officers taking cover as the shooter continued firing. No portion of the unedited footage suggests the office’s video posted on social media inaccurately portrayed the shooting. The files didn’t include Parrish’s body camera footage, and sheriff spokeswoman Lauren Lekander said

views on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and even more through traditional media nationwide,’’ Jeff Coyle, director of government and public affairs, said in a statement provided to the newspaper. Law enforcement in the other Colorado counties that lost officers this winter, Adams and El Paso , also depended largely on social media to share updates about the shootings, repeatedly directing reporters seeking more detail to those feeds. Meanwhile, press conferences held within hours of the officers’ deaths allowed for no media questions after officials read statements. El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder considers Twitter and Facebook his agency’s best tool to keep the community informed — and to simultaneously provide updates to traditional media. The department posted a stream of updates after Deputy Micah Flick’s February death during a stolen car investigation. Residents inevitably take to social media when they see police swarming an area, and the department’s accounts should provide official updates before others weigh in, Elder said. “We have to be proactive,’’ he said. “Otherwise we’re following the story; we’re letting somebody else write the narrative.’’

it won’t be released “due to the sensitive nature of the material recorded on his camera.’’ Members of the SWAT unit that entered the shooter’s apartment and killed him don’t wear body cameras, she said. Social media’s widespread use makes it a tempting resource for law enforcement, but police must use it responsibly, said David Alan Sklansky, a Stanford criminal law professor who has studied law enforcement use of technology. “If a department wants its feed to be trusted, it needs to earn that trust partly by making sure it is candid and forthright in what is posted,’’ he said. Failing to uphold that standard can prove damaging, as in San Antonio where the Express News found that a promotional police department video claiming to feature “real 911 calls “ actually included a fake call and two real calls with modified details. The newspaper uncovered the issue by requesting the original 911 recordings. The agency admitted it was a mistake to include some of the calls but defended the video, which was intended to discourage the use of 911 except in emergencies. “This was a hugely successful social media campaign that amassed 122,870

End of an era: Toys R Us is going the way of stickball Retailer to close or sell all of its stores in the United States BY ANNE D’INNOCENZIO ASSOCIATED PRESS
For decades, children ran down the sprawling aisles of Toys R Us in awe of the Barbies, the bikes and other toys laid out in front of them. Parents lined up for the latest Christmas fad, even if it meant standing in the rain. And, of course, there was that jingle that bored into your brain: “I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid ...’’ But all of that looks as if it’s coming to an end. Toys R Us is going out of business in the U.S., announcing plans recently to close or sell its 735 stores across the country, including its Babies R Us stores, in a move that jeopardizes more than 30,000 jobs. The superstore chain could no longer bear the weight of its heavy debt load and relentless trends that hurt its business, namely competition from the likes of Amazon, discounters like Walmart, and mobile games. At shopping centers around the country, the news was met with sadness and nostalgia. “My first toy came from Toys R Us when I was young, and I had a Barbie Corvette that you could drive,’’ re-
a
called Raven Cornell, 29, at a Toys R Us in Fayetteville, Georgia. Sidney Corum, 4, was with his grandfather at the same store when he heard the news. “Mad. I go so angry. I fight. I will fight them,’’ he said. Plenty of other toy chains have gone out of business over the past few years, among them KB Toys and Zany Brainy. But with the likely demise of Toys R Us, a piece of Americana is going away. (Toys R Us still has more than 700 stores outside the U.S., but those, too, are contracting fast.) Toys R Us traces its roots to 1948, when its founder, Charles Lazarus, opened Children’s Bargain Town, a baby furniture store in Washington. Lazarus opened the first Toys R Us in 1957, and in 1965 Geoffrey the giraffe became the company’s mascot. He appeared in his first TV commercial in 1973. Toys R Us dominated the toy store business in the 1980s and early ‘90s, when it was one of the first of the category killers — big stores that are so totally devoted to one thing and have such impressive selection that they drive smaller competitors out of business. Lazarus, who remained at the helm until 1994, stacked the merchandise high to give shoppers the feeling it had an infinite number of toys. But it wasn’t just the stuff that Toys R Us sold; it was the feeling parents and children would get when they roamed the aisles. “You weren’t just buying a toy. You
Arson K-9 Riley joins state fire agency STAFF REPORT
A new investigator has joined the crew at the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control, and director Mike Morgan has big plans for him. Riley, a 5-year-old black Labrador, and handler Jerry Means will officially join the division in April. Riley was born in Indianapolis, and began his career as a seeing-eye dog. He completed four quarters of guide dog training. However, due to his scent dominance he was designated to serve as an arson dog. Riley attended, along with Means, an intensive national training program, run by the Maine State Police, and graduated from Arson K-9 School in 2014. Riley has investigated more than 300 fires and plays an integral role in arson investigations, locating critical evidence. Means previously served as the division’s primary arson investigator. Means started working for CBI in
1999 and has investigated more than 1,900 fires in Colorado. Means and Riley also serve as National Ambassadors to the American Humane Association. “Arson is a very serious problem as each year lives are lost and millions of dollars in property damage occur as a result,” Morgan said. “Jerry and Riley offer an extremely valuable service to the public safety community by providing investigative assistance at fire scenes, saving both time and resources for police and fire departments.” The Arson Dog program is funded by State Farm Insurance Companies. It’s available to public safety organizations, such as the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, to aid in arson investigations across the United States and Canada. Since its beginning in 1993, State Farm has placed more than 325 dogs in 44 states, three Canadian provinces and the District of Columbia.
“You weren’t just buying a toy. You were going into a magical experience. It was like going into Santa’s workshop.’’
Jim Silver New York-based toy expert were going into a magical experience. It was like going into Santa’s workshop,’’ said Jim Silver, a longtime New York-based toy expert. Over the decades, children used Toys R Us as a playground where they would meet others they wouldn’t see in the schoolyard. In the 1990s, when Pokemon was hot, children would bring shoeboxes filled with the cards, and they would trade them in the store. Toys R Us was also the launch pad for what became some of the industry’s hottest toys, such as Zhu Zhu pets in 2008. Other retailers like Walmart wouldn’t take such risks on new toys from little-known brands. It will be a little sad,’’ said Serone Francis, a mother of two who was loading her car at the Toys R Us in Fayetteville. She said her kids ``like to just come and look around even if I don’t buy anything. They’re going to
miss it. I’m going to miss it.’’ Erin Finney of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, was at her local Toys R Us with her two of her three sons, ages 2 and 4. “This is the toy store,’’ she said, noting she comes with her boys because they love to play with and actually touch all the toys. “The look in their eyes is ooooh,’’ she said. But over the past decade, Toys R Us had been losing ground. Shoppers were increasingly using the stores as showrooms: They would check out the toys and then buy them cheaper online at places like Amazon. “I grew up at Toys R Us,’’ said Bryan Mann, a father of two who was at the Fayetteville store. “Things came out new. You go to the stores and grab them. Fight in line to get things. Kind of glad I won’t have to do that anymore. It’s nostalgic, but I understand why they struggle.’’

Special Olympians take to ice for championships Figure, speed skaters compete at South Suburban Ice Arena BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Their blades whispered across the ice as each athlete competed in the Special Olympics Figure and Speed Skating Championship Meet on March 10 at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial. The area just off the ice rink hummed with conversation as family and friends helped the competitors prepare for the competition. Figure skaters in colorful costumes donned their skates as they waited for their turn on the ice and speed skaters made sure their skates were laced tightly so they were ready to go. Inside the rink, sizable crowd was seated in the stands, watching skaters complete their warmups. Then, one at a time, a competitor moved out onto the ice to skate his or her routine. Applause greeted the skaters as they stood ready to begin their routines. Then the rink became silent except for the skater’s music. Applause and cheers echoed off the walls as the skater went through a special move, followed by more applause and cheers when the skater completed his or her routine.

Approximately 50 athletes from across the state took part in the event that wraps up the winter Special Olympics sports season.

lectual disabilities and their unified partners here to compete today,” Vean said. “We have kids who are almost teenagers to adults in their 40s. It is a big deal for them to be here today because they had to win a gold medal in regional competition to qualify for state. Some of our athletes require special help so they have an able bodied unified partner skating with them.” She said each competitor was judged on his or her competition by a panel of five volunteer judges. When the competition was completed, an awards ceremony was held with a podium and the award of gold, silver and bronze medals. Local firefighters in full gear presented each of the medals. Figure and speed skating are Special Olympics winter sports. Vean said about 200 athletes are competing in winter state meets in sports such as skiing, with about 50 athletes and their unified partners competing in skating. Holly Griffin sat with her 9-year-old Stephany Silvestain smiles as she stands atop the awards podium after receiving a gold medal for her figure skating routine. She was among about 50 athletes from around the state that took part in the Special Olympics State Figure and Speed Skating Championship Meet on March 10 at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial.
daughter Shelby as the girl waited to compete in figure skating. “I skated good today,” Stephanie Silvestain said after competing. “A friend’s family got me interested in skating and I love it. It is a lot of fun skating. I get to see all my friends and I like competing in skating doing all the tricks and poses. I like wearing our pretty skating outfits too.” She hugged a bear as she talked about skating. She said she hasn’t named the bear yet because it was new and special because it was thrown on the ice to her after she completed her routine. Her mother Carol said figure skating is very special for her 27-year-old daughter. “This is a very big deal for her to compete in figure skating as it gives her a sense of belonging and accomplishment,” the Littleton resident said. “Special Olympics are so great for her. She gets to compete in a lot of different sports with friends she knows and to meet new friends. It is special for the parents too because it a rich environment for them and their children. Everyone likes getting together and it is as special for we who are parents as it is for our children.” Stephanie’s routine was apparently very good because she received the gold medal for special category for her routine at the awards ceremonies. Hillary McAdams also competed in figure skating. “I really like figure skating,” the Centennial resident said. “I like figure skating because I love music, I like wearing the special outfits and I love to dance. I dance when I am on the ice and I dance off the ice. I think I like to dance the waltz the best but I like to salsa dance too because of the music.” Her mother Marilyn also said Special Olympics are special for her and her 26-year-old daughter. “She loves the challenge of competing in the Special Olympics sports,” she said. “I like the involvement in Special Olympics too. It is a social event for both of us, for her with her friends and for me with the other parents.” Hillary skated well as she received a fourth-place ribbon for her routine.

CLUBHOUSE
Collin Gozdzialski, 5, waits for his haircut during the March 18 haircut-athon held for the Castle Rock Clubhouse. Gozdzialski’s mother, Stephanie, is a friend of the clubhouse founder, Amanda Flanagan.

she said. After reaching that $25,000 goal, the Castle Rock Clubhouse will begin applying for certain grants to further support the nonprofit. Flanagan hoped a haircut-a-thon held in Castle Rock at Phenix Salon on March 18 would narrow the gap. There, 5-year-old Collin Gozdzialski climbed into master hair artist Charlene Hubbard’s chair as his parents and siblings looked on. The $12 for his “kids cut” would go toward the clubhouse, something his mother, Stephanie, said was wellworth it. “I think it’s awesome,” Stephanie said of the fundraiser. “He needed a haircut, and for a great cause.” Stephanie, a friend of Flanagan’s, said since meeting her two years ago she’s come to understand the club-

house is important to Flanagan. “I just know her big push is to get the funds available to open the clubhouse,” Stephanie said.
They’re on the home stretch, Flanagan said, something she was grateful to the community for making possible. “We’ve seen overwhelming sup-
port,” Flanagan said of the community response. “People are experiencing the need and desire for this in a big way.”
The cheaper cost of living benefits Toastmasters employees as well, Myers said. “The cost of doing business here and the cost of housing and supporting their workers here is much more affordable than Southern California,” Myers said. And for an organization with members and leadership from across the globe, Denver’s freeway system, light rail and nearby airports served as
another attraction. Rex said he sees their relocation as a benefit for the Denver metro area. “We are bringing a globally recognized, large not-for-profit into the south Denver area,” he said. “From what I can see, we’ll be the biggest, with the biggest brand recognition and the largest global reach. The organization will showcase that global reach come 2019 when it holds its Global Conference in Den-
ver, an event Rex said brings in 2,000 people from around the world. As of now they’re planning to hold the conference near Denver International Airport. For now, Rex said he’s grateful the community and county have welcomed Toastmasters and its employees. “We are 100 percent confident,” Rex said of the new headquarters, “that we made the right choice.”

arch Madness is here to entertain s most of us. But spring break has also arrived L g as students, faculty from schools J and universities in the United States take time off from studious routines to relax and w have fun. D Colorado high school baseball teams have been or will be flocking to the warmer r climates of Arizona, CaliOVERTIME fornia and Florida to bond, t practice, play a few games, visit some colleges and, yes, have a little fun. I remember my longest high school road trip was all the way to Palmer High School in Colorado Springs, but times have changed. r Some of the benefits of spring trips include usually r Jim Benton guaranteed playable weather and exposing Rocky Mountain players to A the perspective of baseball from other states, e and this can offset the increasing expense of M 2 heading south for a few days. Some schools conduct fundraising endeavors to help offset some of the cost of the spring break trips but parents often chip in most of the money. Fees vary depending on the itinerary of trips, but a typical cost would be around $850 per player. Chaparral’s baseball team is in Phoenix. The Wolverines took in an Arizona State and Rockies spring training game before playing five games that started with a March 19 game against Edmond, Okla. “Things have changed and with CHSAA giving us four more games next year, it makes us able to add more games on these trips,” said Chap coach Alan DiGiosio. “This could be something where we add one or two more games. We played a game against a team from Oklahoma on March 19 and it was their 15th game and it was on our third. “The competition is great and it’s fun. And it’s good to just be around and see how the guys on the next level conduct themselves and how they train. We feel like we get better, although we often get pressured when you have five games in four days and then come home and sit for a week (next game March 30). Next year with four more games we might be able to keep that game schedule more consistent.” Legacy rotates between going to Arizona and Florida, and this spring between March 26-31 the Lightning will compete and train at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Fla. Coach Ty Giordano tries to schedule some fun into the spring break baseball trip. “We work all year around,” he said. “We work out in the fall and the winter, so when spring break comes around you utilize that as a chance to get away. You take a little break and it is kind of cool for the kids. Even though from our perspective it is treated as a baseball trip. SEE BENTON, P47

Ponderosa junior Cohlton Schultz is a modest wrestler who is on his way to becoming one of the best in Colorado. Schultz moved up to 285 pounds and wrapped up an undefeated season (50-0) by winning his third straight Colorado state championship. He has been named the 2017-18 Colorado Community Media South Metro Wrestler of the Year. “It has been a goal to be up among the best that Colorado has ever had,” said Schultz. “Every year is just trying to make one more step towards that. I know I’m a big target going into every match. I have to prepare myself very well. I’ve been working hard for a long time and it’s all paying off.” Schultz started a superlative season by winning the prestigious Dec. 8-9 Walsh Jesuit Ironman in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, a tournament in which he was second the past two years. Then he won the Doc Buchannan, a highly regarded in-season tourney, in early January. All this came after he became the first American to win the world championship since 1997, when he captured the Cadet Greco World title in Athens, Greece in early September. “He is incredibly confident but equally modest about his skills, and

this season turned out to be one of the best Colorado has ever seen, yet few have really noticed,” said Tim Yount, who publishes Colorado’s On the Mat rankings. “What makes Schultz even more amazing is that he loves being a high school kid who has aspirations to be a college student athlete in due time. “What he did this year won’t be matched again for many years. Not only did he become the first person from Colorado to win the Ironman, he defeated one of the top kids (Seth Nevills) in the world at the Doc Buchanan.” Schultz won the Austrian Junior Greco-Roman on March 3 and continues to impress in international competition, but Ponderosa wrestling coach Tito Rinaldis isn’t worried about Schultz competing for the Mustangs as a senior. “He’s got a pretty level head on his shoulders and understands that a lot of young kids might be in a hurry to jump to that next step, and he understands there is an opportunity to build relationships,” said Rinaldis. “I don’t think he wants to forgo any of that. “If you look at the average age of most Olympic medalists, it is in the late 20s and early 30s. So if he wants to hit that 2020 cycle he might be a bit too young to be at that level. I don’t see him not competing as a senior in high school. I don’t think he wants to forgo the opportunity to be a four-time state champion and be considered one of the best Colorado wrestlers in history.”
