by their teachers. Each year the EEF honors 50 students in the Elizabeth school district ranging from fifth grade through high school. The event was held in the cafetorium of Elizabeth High School, where tables were set with red tablecloths, red and white balloons adorned the edges of the room, and a multitude of metallic stars, of course, were hung on the walls. An all-student string quartet played throughout the hourlong dinner. Superintendent Douglas Bissonette opened the awards portion of the evening.
George Brauchler is seeking to trade his 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office for one in the state Capitol. Brauchler, a Republican, is campaigning to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper in the 2018 election. Citing what he called “ a lack of real leadership at the state level,” Brauchler said he wants to push for a stronger economy and tougher sentences for violent criminals. Brauchler “Our governor has spent the last six years being affable,” said Brauchler, who announced his candidacy April 5. On the heels of Brauchler’s announcement, the race was infused with another big name, this one on the Democratic side. Six-term Congressman Ed Perlmutter made his candidacy for governor official on April 9. Perlmutter, of Golden, was first elected to the U.S. House in 2006. He represent Colorado’s 7th Congressional District, which largely comprises politically diverse Jefferson County. Brauchler was elected district attorney in 2012 and re-elected after running

Two 4-H members, Kelly Lynch and Brody Schneider, have been selected to represent Elbert County 4-H for the Citizenship Washington Focus trip planned in June. “CWF is a 4-H summer civic educa-
part of the CWF program to encourage citizenship in youths age 14-19. The event is hosted at the National 4-H Conference Center, just one mile outside the District of Columbia. Thousands of 4-H members participate in the program each summer, bringing young Schneider people together on a national level to hone their communication, leadership and citizenship skills. The environment that members get
to experience in Washington helps them to “understand the importance of civic and social responsibilities as they relate to the development of better citizens and leaders,” Kelley said. They “exchange ideas, practice respect, and form friendships with other youth from diverse backgrounds, and experience hands-on learning using the historical backdrop of Washington, D.C.” Lynch and Schneider will participate in workshops held at the capital’s most popular sites.

“My biggest hopes are for the future … that this award will leaven an indelible, unforgettable mark,” he said. When times get tough, Bissonette said, he hoped that the recipients would “see it as a source for encouragement, remember what you’re capable of, that others saw something in you that is extraordinary.” Organizer Mary Smith was overwhelmed, she said, by the energy in the room. “It is a tremendous amount of work, for a couple of us, that goes into it. Then the night of the banquet it is such a high for everyone,” Smith said. Among the recipients was senior Autumn Beschorner of Elizabeth. “It was an amazing opportunity that I didn’t think teachers looked at me in that way,” said Beschorner, who attends Elizabeth High School. “I was nervous but very honored to be up there,” she said. “It was an amazing feeling to show many people in my community that my parents
From left to right, Brooke Peterson, Hannah Slade, Allie Lindsay, and Alaina Jones provide background music during the STARS Dinner on April 1. JODI HORNER raised me right — and what my teacher wrote about me really showed that.” The event’s emcee for the ninth consecutive year was real estate broker Jace Glick of Castle Pines. His people skills were in full throttle as he talked and joked with each of the students
prior to receiving their awards. “He’s the real deal,” Smith said of Glick, “just a nice and caring guy.” “It is such an honor and privilege to have interviewed over 450 students over the past nine years,” said Glick, who emcees for other events including the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo.
The effect of the STARS award on the lives of students has made an impression on Glick. “It always makes my day when one of those 450 students approaches me and reminds me they were a past STARS recipient,” Glick said. “You can always tell it has had a significant positive impact on them.” “My son got his award when he was in sixth grade, and I confess that I still have it hanging on the wall,” Smith said, adding with a laugh: “He said to me the other day, `Mom, isn’t that picture of me a little old?’” Smith said that although the STARS Banquet is a labor of love, “it takes considerable time to prepare.” Most of the EEF board is comprised of parents, and they are soon to retire their posts along with their graduating seniors. “We really need volunteers who can give about three hours a month,” she said, in addition to the monthly board meetings. The board meets for one to two hours on the second Thursday of each month in the Elizabeth C-1 District Administration room.

unopposed in 2016. The 18th Judicial District encompasses Arapahoe, Dougtlas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. He gained nationwide recognition for prosecuting the case against Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, calling the case “the biggest trial in the history of the state.” He said maintaining his obligations outside the courtroom during the trial shows he can maintain his role as district attorney during the campaign. He added he would put his campaign on hiatus if a big case came up. In February, Colorado’s economy was ranked the best in the country by U.S.
News and World Report, but Brauchler said it could be better with less regulation and streamlined registration policies for small business owners. “We’re spending a lot of time running with the herd. I think we can be leading the pack,” Brauchler said. “Are we doing well? I think we’re doing fine, but we can be doing bigger and better for a longer period of time with the right leadership.” Calling criminal justice his “wheelhouse,” Brauchler said he will push for stronger minimum sentences for DUI and homicide offenders. “Right now, someone can commit serious murder and 20-25 years later be back on the street,” he said. Brauchler has lived in Colorado for 45 years, currently residing in Parker with his wife and four children. He attended
the University of Colorado, Boulder, and later graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law. He is a colonel in the Colorado Army National Guard. Brauchler and Perlmutter have joined a crowded field that includes more than a dozen candidates. Notable on the Republican side is businessman Victor Mitchell, a Castle Rock resident who served in the state House from 2007-09. Mitchell runs Lead Funding, an organization that offers financing options for homebuilders and developers. Mitchell was undaunted in his quest for a showdown in the June 2018 Republican primary election. “Attorney Brauchler is a fine fellow — a pretty good lawyer. He’s a patriot and soldier,” Mitchell said in an emailed statement. “But we don’t need yet
another lawyer at the Capitol. We need business people who are proven managers.” Aside from Perlmutter, the Democrats in the race with the most name recognition are former state Sen. Mike Johnston and former state Treasurer Cary Kennedy. Johnston is a Denver resident who served in the state Senate from 2009-16, and before that, was a teacher and principal. Kennedy, of Denver, was elected treasurer in 2006 and lost a re-election bid in 2010. In 2011, she was appointed the City of Denver’s chief financial officer and its deputy mayor, and she continued in those capacities until 2016. Four of the past five governors have been Democrats. Hickenlooper was elected to the position in 2010 and reelected in 2014.

Equine therapy ranch wins thousands in competition Franktown’s Promise Ranch took part in Brackets for Good STAFF REPORT
Franktown equine therapy provider Promise Ranch won the inaugural Brackets for Good fundraising competition. The nonprofit ranch, specializing in equine-assisted activities and therapies for individuals with disabilities received 389 donations totaling $44,902. “Participating in Brackets for Good Denver has been an absolutely thrilling experience,” Promise Ranch Executive Director Sharon Tiraschi said in a news release. “We are so grateful to have been a part of this tournament, and are deeply thankful to all of our donors for their incredible generosity.” Nearly 60 nonprofits competed in the six-round, five-week fundraising tournament, which ended March 31. It was organized in head-to-head brackets reminiscent of the NCAA “March Madness” basketball tournament. Every dollar donated through bfg.
org equaled one point for the chosen nonprofit. Organizations advanced by outscoring their opponent in each round. Promise Ranch Therapeutic Riding rallied donors to help them advance past Denver-based nonprofit Children’s Future in the final round. For winning the tournament, Promise Ranch also received a $10,000 award from sponsor mGive, a mobile fundraising organization based in Greenwood Village. “It’s been absolutely incredible seeing the numbers go up and up as the rounds went on, and to see the fervor with which Denver has embraced this tournament of giving,” said mGive representative Ethan Kotel. Brackets for Good, a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Indianapolis, promotes other nonprofits and charities through competitive online fundraising methods. Since its inaugural tournament in 2012, the group has raised more than $2.75 million for hundreds of charitable organizations across the country. Promise Ranch representatives were also invited to travel to Indianapolis for the Brackets for Good “Celebration of Champions,” to join 10 other winners for a recognition ceremony during an Indiana Pacers game.

VOICES Finding the point can be more complicated than it needs to be
“
Have you ever heard of Rube Goldberg?” Jennifer said. “Of course.” “Design one yourself. It might turn into a good column.” Goldberg (1882-1970) was known for depicting complicated gadgets that are sequenced to complete a very simple task. They were the opposite of efficiency. I think we all have encountered the opposite of efficiency. Variations of Goldberg’s ingenious designs have appeared in a number of films. I recommend “The Way Things Go,” but you will also find Goldberg variations in “Back to the
Future” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,” The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a famous course, Design and Manufacturing, that requires students to create a robot that will complete a relatively simple task with disproportionate ingenuity. Ultimately there is a competition, “an Olympics of engineering,” in front of a cheering crowd. I told Jennifer that I already had a good idea for a column. “How to brighten up your spring patio with new and colorful furniture.” She pretended to yawn. I sat down to work on the crossword puzzle

I voted no on this joint resolution but it passed nonetheless by a narrow margin of 215-205. I am writing to share with you my views and why I voted against this resolution. S.J. Res. 34 over rules the FCC’s internet privacy rules titled “Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services.” This FCC rule mandated that internet service providers obtain consent from their customers before collecting certain categories of information. Under the current rule personal information such as your web browsing history, geographic location, children’s information, social security numbers along with financial information and app usage history — all which fall under the “sensitive data” bracket — can be collected by your internet provider without your permis-

sion. A second category of information, called “less-sensitive data,” such as your name, address, IP address and anything else a consumer has not opted in to sharing with their ISP’s will now be subject to collection, since consumers won’t have an option to opt out of this information sharing. This is a controversial subject for many reasons and for years the debate has gone on as to what ISP’s can and cannot do with this information. The ISP have argued that they should have the flexibility to collect this data because some of their competitors such as Google and Facebook, which are not ISPs, can collect this data and use it and sell it now. It is my view that your internet activities are private. We live in a world that is ever more interconnected and I think that users should have the power to decide which information they want to share and which they don’t. Just as you wouldn’t give a stranger your home address and financial information willingly, your ISP should not be able to obtain that same information without even asking. This issue has the potential to go even beyond privacy rights, but also to include national security concerns since we will no longer control where our data ends up — or worse, who is buying or reviewing it. I understand the ISPs point that some of their competitors currently have obtained an advantage because they can obtain and use this data but I think the correct solution is not to empower the ISPs to gather and use this data but to impose the same SEE COFFMAN, P9

When I was a college student, one of my drawing professors expected us to whittle our points, and then refine them on little wooden paddles that had small strips of sandpaper stapled to them. He thought the pencil sharpeners were far too aggressive, and that too much pencil was wasted. When I taught drawing, I had four electric pencil sharpeners stationed around the room. If it were not for the electric sharpeners, too much class time would have been spent pointing pencils. We rely on convenience, unless we’re cast away on an island like Tom Hanks. I did think about the little sandpaper paddles, however. Could I make my own sanding surface and sharpen a pencil that way — if I

However, I know that some glues are nature-based, and that sap is very sticky. I also know that starch is used in some adhesives, for corrugated board and wallpaper.

funding leveraging up to $9 in private and other public funds, resulting in $500 million in matching support in 2016. With only the $148 million annual budget, the NEA investments in the arts contributes to a $730 billion arts and culture economic industry, which includes 4.2 percent of the annual Gross Domestic Product, and supports 4.8 million jobs that yield a $26 billion trade surplus for the country. Colorado Creative Industries, the NEA’s arm in our state, reports that Colorado ranks first in the nation for percentage of residents who personally perform or create artworks, second for residents who attend films and visit historic buildings, neighborhoods and parks, and third in reading literature and in attendance
for live music, theater or dance. So … what do we here in Colorado want the “Ballad of the Republic Sung in 2018” to be, 130 years after Casey took the bat? NEA staff cannot lobby or participate in efforts to influence Congress regarding appropriations, law, legislation, or policy. But we can. If we want to fight for the arts in our communities, we need to step up to the plate. All of us. Call or write Colorado’s Congressional delegation and tell them what the arts mean to Colorado, and to you. Tell them not to let the NEA strike out. Andrea Doray is a writer who reminds us that private funding will not sustain the arts. And, of U.S. charitable giving rural areas receive only 5.5 percent of all philanthropic dollars.

Bigfoot fans come to Colorado to make their case Event raises money for youth mission trip, spreads Sasquatch awareness BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It may have been April Fools day but Bigfoot researchers who recently visited Castle Rock to display their evidence supporting the legendary creature’s existence weren’t kidding. Bigfoot isn’t just real, they said. He’s out there — and in numbers. About 80 people gathered at the First United Methodist Church in Castle Rock to hear the group’s case on April 1. At the front of the sanctuary were two tables. One held mostly books about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, or however he may be known. The other offered more tangible proof. Castings of purported Sasquatch footprints and knuckle impressions captivated audience members before presentations began. When researchers took the stage, they walked the crowd through personal experiences and accounts of people they say come to them for help. For one church member, Jason Frank, also a member of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, the journey began 10 years ago. Frank discovered a set of large, peculiar footprints while turkey hunting near Cripple Creek. “I didn’t know what to do with it,” he told the crowd April 1. So he called a man from academia who he’d seen on TV. Evidence of Sasquatch Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, connected Frank with a Colorado researcher. Frank has since changed from a man hunting turkeys to a man hunting for clues about the elusive Bigfoot. Frank and his fellow researchers take frequent and extended camping trips searching for Sasquatch, often in the Steamboat Springs area and throughout southern Colorado. For Mark Taylor, also a Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization member, the work has largely consisted of helping a Pueblo family explain strange behavior in and around their ranch. The activity has gone on for years, he told audience members. One ranch owner, who grew up on the ranch, told researchers she saw a Sasquatch on their land as a young girl.
Today, her grandchildren say they sometimes see a large creature peering through the home’s windows at night. Among other sightings, the family also finds large footprints along the river near their home. Footprints are the key for Meldrum, whose research focuses on the evolution of bipedalism in early hominids and humans. More simply put, he studies how people evolved into two-legged walking creatures. “When it comes to footprints, I’m an anatomist,” he said. He looks for where toes are jointed and the show of movement throughout a step in footprints. There’s a difference between tracks left by a living foot and a stiff wood foot, he said. A faculty member at Idaho State since 1993, he fell into Sasquatch hunting in 1996 after discovering footprints in Washington measuring about 15 inches in length. There were skin ridge patterns in the mud. Pressure ridges, tension cracks and dragging were all consistent with live tracks, he said. “These clearly weren’t made by somebody strapping on a pair of fake feet and stomping through the mud,” he said. “I am convinced —I do think that these creatures exist.” He estimated the animal may have been 7 feet tall and weighing near 400 pounds. Today, he’s amassed approximately 300 castings of Sasquatch footprints from across the globe in his lab. Satiating curiosity Sasquatch researchers still debate whether Bigfoot is more ape-like or human-like, he said. Their descent is also unknown. Perhaps they are relics of the early hominids, perhaps not. These are merely some of the answers researchers like Frank and Taylor hope to answer. Proceeds from the event at First United Methodist Church will benefit a youth mission trip hosted by the church, but the “Squatch Talk” drew more than the philanthropic. Fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts came in support, as well as those who said they couldn’t contain their curiosity. Julie Curran said she believes it’s possible the myths are true, and is a fan of the show “Finding Bigfoot” aired on Animal Planet, on which Meldrum has appeared. “I’m fascinated with the subject,” she said. Her friend Randy Howell, however, remains a skeptic. “I’ve not seen or heard anything tonight that would be concrete proof,” he said. “Seems like a lot of speculation and perspective.”

WHO, OR WHAT, IS BIGFOOT? The legendary creature Bigfoot, known by various names such as Sasquatch and Yeti, is an unknown species caught somewhere between myth and science. Reportedly a bipedal primate, the animal is suspected to average between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh hundreds of pounds. Sasquatch researchers describe them as nocturnal, elusive creatures that prefer isolation. They may travel in family groups or alone, and survive as omnivores favoring covered or wooded areas.

across North America, as well as across the globe. Photographic and video evidence claiming to document Sasquatch sightings is limited and often disputed. The most acclaimed documentation of a sighting is the Patterson-Gimlin film shot in 1967. The short film shows a two-legged, ape-like creature walking across the frame and briefly glancing back at the camera. The film, although often criticized, has never been debunked.

800 meters can be a real pain Race combines elements of a sprint and a distance event BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The 800-meter run is not a sprint and it’s not a distance race. It’s a hybrid. It takes speed, stamina, grit and a high threshold for pain to succeed in the 800, which is often referred to as a middle-distance race. In short, the 800 — which is roughly half a mile — is tough, Colorado high school coaches and runners agree. “The 800-meter run is absolutely brutal,” said Faith Christian coach Steve Urban, who was the distance coach last season for boys 5A state champion Pomona. Kaden Lathrop, a senior at Highlands Ranch, was concise when asked what it takes to excel in the 800. “The number one thing in running the 800 is guts,” he said. “Anyone can be in good enough shape and have the form and speed, but what it really takes to finish an 800 is some guts.” Mountain Vista junior Caden Foster, a friend and rival of Lathrop, sometimes feels wiggly at the finish. “It’s a weird race,” he said. “The first half, you feel good, but it hits you immediately after the first lap. You think, `What am I doing, this is really hard.’ By the time you run the last 100 your legs are Jell-O.” Strategy becomes a big part of the 800, which while neither a sprint nor a distance race, combines elements of both. “It is kind of its own category. It is more of a mental race,” said Vincent Workman, the Pomona High school 800-meter record holder and now a freshman at Colorado School of Mines. “You just can’t sit back and kick at the end like a distance race and you can’t just go all out all the time like a sprint race. It’s strategy based and mentally based. “I broke the Pomona high school record for the 800 and that probably was the hardest race of my whole career and I’ve been running since I
Douglas County junior Lina Corrales was the winner of the 800 and 1,600 races at the April 3 Highlands Ranch Invitational. She claims it takes heart to succeed in 800 meter runs and between races walks to stay loose and listens to music. JIM BENTON

was 5-years-old. We started the first lap going real fast so I figured I was just going to die… We just kept going at the same speed the entire race and that’s just something that doesn’t happen in an 800 race.” Madison Easton, a senior at Mountain Vista, usually likes to go out fast. “Sometimes that’s not the best move,” Easton said. “I kind of like to go out fast and get my spot. The hardest part of an 800 is the third 200 (meters), so I push the most there and
the last 200 is just give it all I’ve got.” Like many runners, Thornton junior Stephanie Carrasco competes in multiple events. She has run the 3,200, 1,600 and 800 this season. She favors the longer races — by comparison, the 800 seems almost like a sprint event. “I prefer the 3,200 because it’s a long-distance event,” she said. “The 800 is really tough because it’s basically sprinting for 800 meters without pace.”

Highlands Ranch coach John Padjen calls the 800 a “grueling race” that demands endurance and speed. “And most importantly, a willingness to fight through a high level of pain,” he said. For Douglas County junior Lina Corrales, desire plays a part in meeting the demands of the 800, no matter what race tactic is used. “If you want to race well, you just kind of have to love it and just make sure you have your heart in it 100 percent,” Corrales said. “You just have to deal with the pain and then at the end just hope you make it the best.” Littleton sophomore Christian Sapakoff agrees with those runners who have a love-hate relationship with the 800 meters. “I hate it when I’m doing it but afterward I like it,” he said. “The toughest thing is just hanging in there mentally. You end up hitting kind of a wall at some point and you don’t want to run anymore, but you have to keep going.”
