$1.59 million would go to Elizabeth district by replacing expiring tax BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
In an effort to attract and retain teachers, expand safety and security measures in schools, and provide students with access to technology that facilitates learning, the board of Elizabeth Schools unanimously voted on Aug. 27 to place a $1.59 million mill levy override question on the November ballot. “This has never been done before,” said Douglas Bissonette, superintendent of Elizabeth school district. “I absolutely do think it will work and will make a huge difference.” The override would not raise taxes for those within the school district, but would replace the expiring tax for bonded debt with general fund revenue. “What we’re asking voters to do is allow us to continue collecting the same amount on their taxes already being paid, which is being collected on a bond that was issued in 2000 to build the high school,” said Bissonette. “The SEE SCHOOLS, P4

New school buses begin service in Elizabeth Editor’s note: The following is an email sent by the Elizabeth School District on Aug. 29. Elizabeth Schools Families, Staff and Community: We’re excited to share that 10 new school buses will begin service within Elizabeth School District in September. This spring, the Board of Education approved a tax-exempt, lease-purchase agreement for the district to acquire nine new 71-passenger diesel school buses and one special needs bus. Financing the bus purchase instead of spending down reserves gives the district fiscal flexibility to address unforeseen costly future events. Additionally, the lease-purchase agreement allowed the district to take advantage of

school will be paid off in 2019, and instead of building a school we would like to use the money to address some top issues in our schools.” Attracting and retaining teachers and support staff is on the top of the list of priorities to improve the school district, by offering competative pay comparative to surrounding school districts. Safety and social-emotional support for students is second on the
low interest rates due to the district’s excellent credit rating, and before interest rates begin increasing. It also allowed the district to purchase the buses before the impact of increased steel tariffs. According to the bus dealer, the district’s order was placed just before prices began to increase due to this event and prices are expected to grow by up to 10%. The new buses replace 10 buses that have exceeded their useful lives and have become costly and burdensome to maintain. The average age of the buses being replaced is 25.9 years and the average mileage is more than 247,800. Most of the mileage was on unpaved dirt roads which added to normal wear and tear. Each of the replaced buses has substantial issues such as structural body decay, twisted or cracked frames, or im-
list, including the addition of a school resource officer and expanding safety, security and preparedness programs within schools. Additional access to technology is the third priority cited by the school district. “It’s probably not news that low school funding in our state is a problematic and ongoing challenge,” said school board Vice President Dee Lindsey in a press release announcing the override question. “What many people in our community probably don’t realize is just how low our funding is here in Elizabeth. Of the school districts in Colorado with more than 1,000 students, Elizabeth
pending engine replacement. This contributed to the need and decision to purchase new buses. With the purchase of the buses, the district has now addressed another transportation-related recommendation that the citizen-led Infrastructure Assessment Committee (IAC) outlined in its 2013 Infrastructure Assessment Report. Our transportation department is responsible for transporting more than 1,000 students each school day. Through our transportation service, we also help minimize traffic congestion throughout the district. We’re proud of the service we provide to our families and our community and we appreciate your ongoing support. Sincerely, Ron Patera, Chief Finance Officer Terry Wilson, Transportation Director
schools is the 10th lowest funded.” The Elizabeth school district includes six schools, with a student population of more than 2,400 students. Bissonette said the town has held numerous meetings over the years with community members to address the school board’s priorities for students, including future growth issues and growing needs of students. With several large developments being approved in and around Elizabeth recently, the district will eventually have to build more schools, but for now, would like to use the money to improve services to students. “I’m optimistic,” said Bissonette.
“A mill levy override allows a school district to request property tax revenue for day-to-day operational expenses, beyond what is provided by the Colorado Public School Finance Act,” explained the press release issued by the school board. “The bottom line is our community deserves the business environment, property values and bright future that a successful, high-quality school system brings with it,” said Lindsey. “And most of all, the children in our community — our children and grandchildren — deserve the same education and opportunities as a student anywhere else in Colorado, or the country.”

Parker Pointe annexation approved Area will be developed for smaller retail at Stroh, Parker roads BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Parker Town Council unanimously approved a motion to annex a portion of land at Parker Road and Stroh Road during its Aug. 20 meeting. The annexation agreement is preliminary to the town’s plans to develop the area into a town center surrounding the Stroh and Parker intersection. The annexed area is 14.7 acres on the southeast corner of the intersection. The property is known as Parker Pointe and will consist of Modified Commercial and Open Space zoning designations. The project narrative, posted on the town’s website, parkeronline. org, reports that two of the 15 lots are going to be mixed-use buildings, such as fast food, hotel, day care, convenience store or auto service. The properties surrounding the other three corners of the intersection are all currently zoned for Modified Commercial.
The planning commission’s report stated this development is in response to growth in the town. The town’s master plan reports Parker is at a disadvantage to attract retail business, being located between the Park Meadows and Southlands malls. Parker is a town that draws much of its revenue from sales tax. “We’re dedicated to having a thriving business community because that’s what allows us to have everything else,” Mayor Mike Waid said. Infrastructure construction can begin by this year, according to Paul Workman, the town’s senior planner. The town council typically makes the decision whether or not to allow a property owner to annex into the town, based on what the developer plans to do with the land. The south end of the property will be designated as 1.04 acres of open space to preserve the floodplain and the Preble’s jumping mouse, an endangered species. The annexation approval followed a lengthy public comment period, when some residents brought up concerns about the ensuing treatment of wildlife that inhabit the area.

Aspirin disappoints for avoiding first heart attack, stroke Not worth risk for healthy people, a study leader says BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has long been known to cut the chances of another heart attack, stroke or other heart problem in people who already have had one, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits for most other folks, major new research finds. Although it’s been used for more than a century, aspirin’s value in many situations is still unclear. The latest studies are some of the largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day blood thinner in people who don’t yet have heart disease or a blood vessel-related problem. One found that aspirin did not help prevent first strokes or heart attacks in people at moderate risk for one because they had several health threats such as smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Another tested aspirin in people with diabetes, who are more likely to develop or die from heart problems, and found that the modest benefit it gave was offset by a greater risk of serious bleeding. Aspirin did not help prevent can-
cer as had been hoped. And fish oil supplements, also tested in the study of people with diabetes, failed to help. “There’s been a lot of uncertainty among doctors around the world about prescribing aspirin’’ beyond those for whom it’s now recommended, said one study leader, Dr. Jane Armitage of the University of Oxford in England. “If you’re healthy, it’s probably not worth taking it.” The research was discussed Aug. 26 at the European Society of Cardiology meeting in Munich. The aspirin studies used 100 milligrams a day, more than the 81-milligram pills commonly sold in the United States but still considered low dose. Adult strength is 325 milligrams. Who’s really at risk? A Boston-led study gave aspirin or dummy pills to 12,546 people who were thought to have a moderate risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke within a decade because of other health issues. After five years, 4 percent of each group had suffered a heart problem — far fewer than expected, suggesting these people were actually at low risk, not moderate. Other medicines they were taking to lower blood pressure and cholesterol may have cut their heart risk so much that aspirin had little chance of helping more,
said the study leader, Dr. J. Michael Gaziano of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. One percent of aspirin takers had stomach or intestinal bleeding, mostly mild — twice as many as those on dummy pills. Aspirin users also had more nosebleeds, indigestion, reflux or belly pain. Bayer sponsored the study, and many researchers consult for the aspirin maker. Results were published by the journal Lancet. Aspirin for people with diabetes? People with diabetes have a higher risk of heart problems and strokes from a blood clot, but also a higher risk of bleeding. Guidelines vary on which of them should consider aspirin. Oxford researchers randomly assigned 15,480 adults with Type 1 or 2 diabetes but otherwise in good health and with no history of heart problems to take either aspirin, 1 gram of fish oil, both substances, or dummy pills every day. After seven and a half years, there were fewer heart problems among aspirin users but more cases of serious bleeding, so they largely traded one risk for another. Fish oil results The same study also tested omega-3 fatty acids, the good oils found
in salmon, tuna and other fish. Supplement takers fared no better than those given dummy capsules — 9 percent of each group suffered a heart problem. “We feel very confident that there doesn’t seem to be a role for fish oil supplements for preventing heart disease,’’ said study leader Dr. Louise Bowman of the University of Oxford. The British Heart Foundation was the study’s main sponsor. Bayer and Mylan provided aspirin and fish oil, respectively. Results were published by the New England Journal of Medicine. Other studies are testing different amounts and prescription versions of fish oil, “but I can’t tell people go spend your money on it; we think it’s probably better to eat fish,” said Dr. Holly Andersen, a heart disease prevention specialist at New YorkPresbyterian/Weill Cornell who was not involved in the study. The new research doesn’t alter guidelines on aspirin or fish oil, said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Medical Center and an American Heart Association spokeswoman. They recommend fish oil only for certain heart failure patients and say it’s reasonable to consider for people who have already suffered a heart attack.

VOICES Teams sign anyone for a ‘W,’ and sports go straight to ‘L’
lost out. Or lucked out. When I was (much) younger, I thought about becoming a sports writer, partly because of my admiration for Jim Murray, whom I read QUIET daily in The Los AnDESPERATION geles Times throughout college. Best sports writer ever, and that includes Grantland Rice, Ring Lardner, Mitch Albom, Roger Angell, and even George Will (who knows baseball). Murray wrote this Craig Marshall about UCLA football Smith coach Henry “Red” Sanders: “It is probable he had fewer close friends than any celebrated man in America. He seemed always to be nursing some private disillusionment for which he bore no grudge but which precluded ever leading with his heart with anyone.” Writing about the Indianapolis
500 after there were some racetrack deaths, he wrote, “Gentlemen, start your coffins.” His kind of writing was and is rare. His kind of sports writing is nonexistent. I have wondered what he would do with something like the recent signing by the local National Football League team of a player with a rap sheet as long as my arm and leg. “According to industry website Sportrac, he has been fined nearly $2.2 million in his career” (The Denver Post). Or what he would write about Urban Meyer and Ohio State, or Jerry Sandusky and Penn State, or Larry Nassar and Michigan State? There are scandals all over sports, college and professional, and if I had become a sports writer, I’d have to write about many things I would rather not. Sanders said, “Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.” It’s a quote often attributed to Vince Lombardi, but Sanders said it first.
And he was correct. It drives everything and we all benefit or suffer because of it. The local National Football League team is an opiate for the region. I understand it. I have my own team: It just doesn’t happen to be this one. When my team wins, my day is better. When my team loses, I am downcast. In order to win, college and professional teams will stoop, cheat, lie, mislead, and cover for athletes and coaches who have misbehaved. One college football player said he took a pay cut when he signed his pro contract. What would Murray have done with Reggie Bush? Or Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, or Barry Bonds? I’m glad I will never know. There were corruptions when he was writing, but not like there are now. And I know they would have had an impact on him. I am sure he could have been just as eloquent in denunciation, but I
preferred it the other way: when he was praising a player or a team or a coach. Longtime readers know that I can be cranky. I write in a reflection of the world I live in, and I wish - sometimes - it didn’t seem necessary. That’s when you hear about my dachshund, or Jennifer, or coffee additives, or some obscure song or film. If I had stayed with sports alone, it’s likely there would have been a lot of cranky columns, and who wants that? In 2012, the athlete the local National Football League team just signed “was ordered to pay $12.4 million in damages to two Las Vegas strip club employees from an incident in 2007” (The Denver Post). The good news is that he has 16 interceptions in 139 career games. And that’s all that matters. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

oesn’t it seem like with each passing day we are pointing out our differences and standing behind personal agendas and objectives more than ever before, WINNING maybe even standing WORDS even firmer on our belief systems and principles to guard ourselves against those who just believe differently? Companies, associations, and organizations are finding themselves funding training ses- Michael Norton sions for the people on their teams so that they can learn how to get along in the face of their differences. We might call this diversity training, change management, communication skills training, and a host of other learning and development topics. All of which have great subject matter intended on giving us
learning objectives that will help us to succeed in a different or diverse environment. Here’s an idea, what if we replaced diversity and different with similarity training? What if we focused our time, energy, resources, and money on how similar we are instead of how different we are? I can already see the emails coming in, “Now wait a minute Norton, this is not cool. Our differences are what make the world go around. There are very real differences in races, religions, politics, physical appearances, belief systems, and so much more. What the heck are you talking about with this `Similarity’ business or training?” So here is the answer. You see, with the exception of the smallest minority of people who are intent on violence and destruction, for the most part our society is filled with good, kind, loving, charitable, hard-working, upstanding, forgiving, and awesome people.

them on airplanes, in airports, at hotels, in churches, on main streets, in classrooms, next-door neighbors, on line at grocery stores, and even in traffic. More of us want the same thing. Most of us want peace, happiness, security, love, forgiveness, encouragement, acceptance, and good health. Most of us live with hope, core beliefs, a positive outlook or optimism, a forgiving heart, and a heart and mind centered on justice, kindness, and walking humbly with our God. Listen, I know we have differences and diversity, and we should of course pay attention to those, but not as a means of separating us, but as a way to bring us together. If we point out the differences and the need for diversity training, in essence we are creating the chasm, that of which we are trying to teach and come up with a solution to. We really are more alike than we are different. I would love to see a company hire a consultant who can

I want to win, she wants to win, they want to win, we all want to win, and the majority of us want to win together in an environment filled with love, forgiveness, hope, encouragement, kindness, positivity, charity, and through our similarities, not our differences. How about you? Are you focused on how we are different or how we are more alike than we thought or that society gives us credit for?

Swim Across America makes waves at Chatfield More than 250 people turned out to participate in the event set up to fight cancer BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lauren Alfino is just a little more stubborn than others. On an impossibly perfect Colorado day, hundreds of swimmers prepared for a dip in the Chatfield Reservoir Aug. 26. And Alfino, undoubtedly, would be one of them — even though she had a boot on her left foot. The story of how the 22-year-old swimmer broke her foot pretty much sums up the story of who Alfino is: highly competitive and highly stubborn. For that story, Alfino seemed fit to jump to the conclusion: “I set the world record for how fast you can go down the water slide,” she said with a laugh. Alfino, of Aurora, was not going to miss this, the inaugural Swim Across America event in Colorado. The organization “makes waves to fight cancer,” but specifically, it raises money for the local Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital. More than 200 swimmers from around the metro area signed up to swim a course in the reservoir southwest of Littleton at either a 5K, mile or half-mile distances. Alfino, and her broken foot, were set for the half-mile. To Alfino, the impediment was nothing. She’s proud of her stubbornness. It’s what allowed to her be there in the first place. Alfino was diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma in 2013, a cancer that starts in white blood cells. In April of that year, her cancer was in remission. She never forgot about that struggle, event 5 1/2 years later. Now, she’s grateful any chance she gets to be in

the water. “When I got diagnosed with cancer, I continued to swim throughout my entire treatment,” Alfino said. “It was nice that I had some very supportive people in my life who didn’t question me, but supported all my stubbornness.” Nicole Vanderpoel, the director of the Denver Open Water Swim, worried that if there would be one cloud in the sky during the event, it would be right above Chatfield Reservoir. Instead, Colorado’s first Swim Across America event enjoyed one of the nicest days of the summer, clear for once of smog and haze to set the stage for an event months in the making. The Denver Open Water Swim for Swim Across America raised almost $200,000 for cancer research. “We far exceeded anything we could’ve hoped for,” Vanderpoel said. “We’re overwhelmed with the sup-

They all came through.” The Denver Open Water Swim was the first Swim Across America event in Colorado, but Vanderpoel already has her sights set on next year. “We’ve got work to do, and we are thrilled with our inaugural year and we celebrate that. We celebrate everyone here,” she said. “Next year, we’re just going to continue on the same path with the same goal, and that’s purely for the children.” Hot air balloons floated high above the park as swimmers filed in, eventually by the hundreds, on Chatfield’s
shore. And by the masses, 95 swimmers waded into the water before beginning their three laps for the 5K swim. Among them were 16 Olympians, including Missy Franklin, the five-time Olympic gold medalist and Regis Jesuit graduate. With a beaming smile and water still dripping from her face, Franklin said meeting the children at the hospital was one of the most impactful events she had the opportunity to be part of. “Actually getting to see what all of this is about and where all of this is going…it makes me speechless,” Franklin said.

Elizabeth girls come up short in softball slugfest 18-11 home game goes to visiting D’Evelyn team BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The distinctive sound of an aluminum bat solidly connecting with the softball was heard often as Elizabeth came out on the short end of an 18-11 score in the Aug. 29 non-league soccer game played on the Cardinals’ home field. “While we are a young team with six freshmen on the varsity, we do have a lineup of talented players,” Cardinals coach Steve Biller said. “We are still working through some things but I can see improvement and I feel we are coming together. We have made some mistakes in the early going but I think we are coming together and we are tightening up some things. We have good potential as a team and we are getting better every time we take the field. I feel we will do pretty well when we start playing league opponents.” Weather conditions were good when the Elizabeth and D’Evelyn teams took the field Aug. 29. It was sunny and warm but there was a strong wind blowing from left to right across the field. There were several times when outfielders from both teams had to make adjustments to account for the wind slightly altering the flight of the ball. Both teams hit the ball hard and often in the Aug. 29 as they combined for a total of 31 hits and scored a total of 29 runs. The Jaguars had a 5-3 lead going into the bottom of the third inning, but when the Cardinals came to bat in the bottom of the third they took a 6-5 lead in on a home run with two on by freshman catcher Elyssa Bain. The Cardinals went up 11-5 in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Elizabeth scoring included a grand slam homer by Cardinal pitcher Kylie Pfannensteil. But D’Evelyn regained the lead with 10 runs in the top of the fifth inning to take a 15-11 lead and went on to win the game 18-11. Pfannensteil went the distance on the mound for the Cardinals. She struck out five and issued four walks. “I liked the rush from being on the mound so I became a pitcher,” the junior said. “I like softball but it isn’t my only sport. I also compete in rodeo. I do barrel racing and break-away calf roping.” She said her best pitches are the

Cardinals soccer team blanked by Alameda Elizabeth also dealt with rain in game against visiting Pirates BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Occasional showers swept over the stadium as Elizabeth lost a non-league soccer home game closer than the final 3-0 score indicates to a talented Alameda team on Aug. 22. The Pirates scored on a penalty kick awarded for a Cardinal foul inside the goalie box just over four minutes into the game. A penalty kick puts a player on the team awarded the kick on a mark in front of the net in a one-on-one match-up with the goalie. The goalie faces the difficult challenge of protecting the entire net while the kicker can choose the spot for the kick. In the Aug. 22 game, the kick went to the lower left corner of the net just past the diving Elizabeth goalie. The game was pretty even through the remainder of the first half and most of the second half. Alameda mounted repeated attacks that were turned aside. But they did manage to get two more goals before the end of the game. The Cardinals mounted a number of attacks against the Pirates. Elizabeth had shots sail wide of the net
D.J. McCleish takes a free kick for Elizabeth during the Aug. 22 home soccer game against Alameda. The Cardinals mounted repeated attacks but didn’t get the ball in the net as the Pirates won, 3-0. PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS and a number of the shots were either turned by Alameda defenders or gathered in by the Pirates goalie. “We are a mix of veterans and newcomers this season,” Cardinals Coach
Steve Salansky said. “We are a good team team. When they step out on field together with a goal in mind they can do anything and I believe they can play with any team in the state.” He said the season is going fair but it could be better. He said the attack and midfield both are playing well but the strength of the team is defense. “Our fullbacks do a good job in front of the goal and the other guys drop back to support them,” he said. “They turn aside many shots and it helps that they know Dylan Handlovich in the net, a guy I feel is one of the best goalies in the state. Handlovich is tall and, against Alameda unofficially made 26 saves. “One day I was playing forward and, I think you don’t choose to play goalie, the goalie position picks you. I guess it picked me,” he said. “I have been a goalie for about five years and it is my position.”
He said it is a challenging position because you always have to have your head in the game no matter the score. “If a goal gets into the net you have to keep your head in the game because your team is counting on you to protect the net,” he said. “There are three positions you have to cover the posts, the area up around the crossbar and behind you but you can only cover two at a time. But no matter where the shot is headed you to the goal you best to get to the ball and keep it out of the net.” He said his height is a plus particularly for the shots aimed for the upper areas of the net. The senior said he loves playing goalie and he loves playing soccer but he hasn’t decided on plans after graduation. He is considering college, trade school or possibly entering the Air Force.

Residents asked town council how it plans to deal with the wildlife, like prairie dogs, pronghorns and the jumping mouse on the annexed property. Some requested the council reconsider its plans to preserve the space and its wildlife, while others were concerned about the way the prairie dogs would be disposed. In response, the Parker Town Council said the treatment of the prairie dogs, once the plan moved forward, would be, by state law, in the hands of Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

She said the town should be proactive in finding a solution for a treatment of wildlife on new properties like this instead of deferring to the CPW. “It just doesn’t seem like there’s any regulation to protect this area,” she said. “It hasn’t been developed yet, so it’s not too late.”
