Spurlock gets nod in sheriff ’s race Other hopefuls unhappy with system at General Assembly By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County Undersheriff Tony Spurlock doubled the number of votes garnered by both of his opponents at the Republican General Assembly and will now run uncontested for the office of sheriff on the party’s primary ballot come June. After that, Spurlock will face off against
Libertarian Brock McCoy in November for the right to take over for term-limited Sheriff David Weaver. No Democrat has announced a candidacy for sheriff at this time. Receiving 233 votes from delegates, the undersheriff picked up 50.4 percent of the vote at the March 22 assembly, while Coroner Lora Thomas earned 24.8 percent and Castle Rock Police Cmdr. John Anderson wound up with 24.6 percent. For candidates to make it on to the Republican primary ballot they must receive 30 percent of the vote at the general
assembly. If they do not reach that amount, but finish with more than 10 percent, they had nine days to gather signatures equating to 20 percent of the total number of votes in the Republican primary during Spurlock the last sheriff’s election — which in this case meant 5,040 valid signatures by registered Republican voters in Douglas County. Neither Thomas nor Anderson chose to
go through with the petition process. “I think the message from the delegates is that the citizens of Douglas County are appreciative of the efforts of the sheriff’s office, they are happy with my vision and mission for the future, and they are happy with what I have been doing as the undersheriff,” Spurlock said. “I am very happy, humbled and proud to be representing the Republican Party. It is a daunting and humbling task to run for office. I really appreciate everything Spurlock continues on Page 14

The Douglas County School Board’s recent decision to restrict public comment has had an unexpected impact, at least momentarily uniting many who traditionally have stood on opposite sides of the board’s decisions. Many Douglas County residents who disagree on the board-initiated voucher program, teacher evaluations, budgetary and other issues have come together to agree that the March 25 policy change goes too far. A member of DCSD’s District Accountability Committee and a district captain with the Douglas County Republicans resigned his DAC post after the 6-1 vote to limit general public comment to five minutes per meeting. Former DAC member David DiCarlo did not return calls to Colorado Community Media requesting comment, but said during a March 18 discussion about the proposed policy, “I don’t always like what my neighbors have to say … but I would die for their right to say it.” Board member Meghann Silverthorn was the lone director to vote against the public comment policy change. Though the board-approved motion allows board president Kevin Larsen discretion to expand the time for public comment, another Douglas County Republicans’ district captain decried the change as “an unreasonable restriction on public participation.” “That the board president has not been able to preside efficiently over public meetings is insufficient justification to establish arbitrary and Comment continues on Page 14

Douglas job growth ranks second nationally Federal report takes look at 334 populous counties By Hannah Garcia
hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com The number of jobs in Douglas County grew by 5.9 percent in the fiscal year ending in September 2013, second only to Fort Bend County in Texas, according to a study of populous counties reported by the U.S. Department of Labor. The county ranked No. 2 out of 334 large counties with 75,000 or more jobs across the nation. Fort Bend’s job numbers grew by 6 percent between September 2012 and September 2013, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report. The national average increase came in at 1.7 percent, the bureau reported on March 19. Douglas County’s increase resulted in the county having 104,100 jobs in September 2013, the BLS reported. “Douglas County invests in and fosters the foundations that allow businesses to succeed: an exceptional transportation infrastructure, public safety and a business-friendly regulatory environment,” Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella said in a news release. At a March 24 land use meeting, Repella said the county’s incentives are “paying

dropping to $889, below the nationwide average of $922. The decrease in Douglas County’s average wage was “due to changes in the Management of Companies and Enterprises industry. The wages in this industry fluctuate wildly each quarter,” Nancy Gedeon, an economic and demographic analyst for the county, wrote in an email. Wages in that industry increased 362 percent from 2011 to 2012, which caused a 48 percent increase in the average wages of all industries in the county, she said. “My guess is that these business executives receive annual bonuses,” Gedeon said in an email when asked why the wages for that industry fluctuate so wildly. “Also, the average wage for this industry is at least (four) times higher than the average for all industries combined.” “When the Management of Companies and Enterprises industry is removed from the total, wages in Douglas County increased about 2 percent from the third quarter 2012 to the third quarter 2013,” Gedeon wrote. According to a recent report from the Colorado Department of labor, accounting for data through the end of February, Douglas County’s unemployment average checks in at 5.3 percent, lower than the state average of 6.1 percent and national average of 6.7 percent.

Pilot killed in plane crash Small aircraft avoids businesses, homes before crashing into open field By Hannah Garcia
hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia. com A small plane smoldered in an open field — surrounded by packed subdivisions, stores full of shoppers and roadways crawling with cars on a Saturday afternoon — after crashing and bursting into flames, leaving the pilot, James Peoples of Littleton, dead. Crews were on the scene at about 3 p.m. March 29 after the plane, an experimental Sonerai II, nosedived into the grassy area behind the SuperTarget in Highlands Ranch, near C-470 and Lucent Boulevard. The crash site is about eight miles southwest of Centennial Airport and the plane went down under unknown circumstances, FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said in an email. There was a small fire around the aircraft when it hit, Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy Chad Teller said. “It came straight down and crashed and caught on fire. I don’t know if the pilot died

wasn’t much they could do.” An employee at the H2O Car Wash, one of the closest buildings to the crash site, also said it appeared the plane was trying to land. Some employees went to help extinguish the fire from the crash, he said. The pilot missed several shopping centers and subdivisions — something the employee, who did not want to be named, said was “pretty heroic.” “That area is pretty populated, not just with business but it’s a big residential area,” Teller said. “I don’t know what his intent was, if he was trying to land or what, but we’re fortunate that he was able to land in that area. It was a bad situation, but it could have been much worse.” The plane, from the Sonerai series of homebuilt aircrafts, was 18 feet 10 inches in length and 5 feet 5 inches in height, with an 18-foot-8-inch wingspan. Deborah Smith, a spokeswoman for the Centennial Airport, said she could not confirm whether the pilot took off from the airport before the crash but said the aircraft did have contact with its tower around 2:32 p.m. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating, with the NTSB as the lead agency. A media contact with the NTSB did not immediately return a request for comment.

Board member drafting policy in wake of vote Questions, concerns revolve around process for filling school board vacancies By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Concern about the process used to appoint the newest Douglas County School Board member has prompted board member Judi Reynolds to draft guidelines for future appointments. Reynolds was one of two board members who voted against Rich Robbins, who was picked to fill an empty board seat. Reynolds said her concern is with the process — not the person — and extends beyond the swift, silent March 25 vote for Robbins’ appointment. She hopes to introduce her proposed policy during the next general board meeting on April 15. “The whole process in my mind wasn’t as laid out as I thought it should be,” she said. “I’m working on what I hope will end up being board policy to standardize the entire process, not just that final part of the process, to make it more transparent.” Robbins, a UPS Freight supervisor who supports the board’s education reform policies, was among six finalists interviewed during a special March 25 meeting. He was the only candidate nominated and was chosen on a 4-2 vote, with Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn in opposition. Board president Kevin Larsen did not open the motion to discussion, and the other board members offered no comment. Some of other board members, finalists and audience members were surprised, believing the nomination would be discussed and that other candidates might also be proposed before a final vote was taken.
Newly sworn-in Douglas County School Board Member Rich Robbins takes his seat next to board member Meghann Silverthorn at the March 25 board of education meeting. Photo by Jane Reuter “It was abrupt,” Silverthorn said. “I thought we should have had more conversation around things like qualifications, just a discussion of any kind. I don’t know what other people’s opinions were on any of the nominees because we didn’t talk about it. I wasn’t ready to make a determination.” Silverthorn said the two-part interview process leading up to Robbins’ appointment was “great.” “I wish we would have followed that through to a more logical conclusion,” she said. When board member Carrie Mendoza was appointed in March 2013, thenpresident John Carson asked for discussion about her nomination three times. Five of the sitting board members commented before the unanimous vote for
Mendoza was taken. Mendoza also was the second candidate considered; a nomination for Reynolds did not receive enough “aye” votes to move forward. Board member Jim Geddes agreed the recent vote was quick, but said he saw no need for discussion. “I voted for the guy I thought would be most in line with my philosophy on things,” he said. “If somebody was not in favor it, it would have been their responsibility to begin the discussion. “Some folks have suggested there might be some collusion going on. That’s just not the case. “It’s unfortunate it made it look like we were maybe treating it lightly. But I think all of us were very serious about evaluating each candidate and making
our choice very carefully.” Robbins’ appointment was particularly sensitive for some, given the close nature of the 2013 school board race. Several community members had lobbied the board to select someone with different viewpoints. Finalist David Ray, a former Douglas County School District principal, said he could have filled that role. “I think that’s what’s desperately needed,” he said. “I’ve never seen our district, community or even our staff in such a depressed state in terms of what’s happening. I really was yearning for a signal they wanted to move beyond that divisiveness and really add a different perspective. I felt like this was an opportunity they really missed.” Finalist Dilpreet Jammu, a member of DCSD’s Long Range Planning Committee, said the appointment process was not well-defined, and the end result unsurprising. “I wasn’t surprised, given how things have evolved in terms of politics and our board,” he said. “I believe they picked the candidate who’s best for what their needs are, whatever those are. I certainly hope the gentleman makes good, solid decisions.” Retired teacher Gary Colley, another finalist, said the quick action was “unfortunate.” “There was no explanation why he was the best candidate,” he said. “Unfortunately, it creates the wrong impression. It’s no big loss if I didn’t get selected, but surely you wouldn’t bring on a pro-board supporter when you’re trying to get the confidence of the community back.” Robbins said he had no say-so in the process. “Whether it’s the right process or the wrong process, or whether the process needs to be tweaked or not, that’ll be something we need to hear from the public, and probably sit down and look at as a board,” he said.

Party divisions apparent in budget fight Democrats focus on education, but not enough says GOP By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Democrat-majority state House passed a $23 billion budget on March 28 that will increase funding for education, aid flood and wildfire victims, and will bolster reserves by stashing away millions in “rainy day” dollars. But only one Republican voted for the annual “long bill” as GOP members blasted Democrats for not funding specific measures that are of importance to the minority party, including money for increased drunken driving penalties and what they are saying is not enough money for K-12 education. The passage of the 2014-2015 fiscal year budget came on the heels of several hours of debate that spanned two days as lawmakers wrangled over a long bill that comes with more dollars than last year’s, thanks in part to a state economy that continues to gain steam. “We are in a better place, we can make investments, we can start putting back the pieces that were harmed in the great recession,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. The bill includes a general fund budget — made up of tax revenue that supports the operations of most state departments — of $8.7 billion, a $600 million increase over the current year’s budget. About half of the general fund dollars support K-12 and higher education, both of which will receive significant increases in the new budget. Through the annual school finance
act and the Student Success Act — school funding measures that are making their way through the Legislature — the budget will pump about $200 million in additional K-12 education funding that increase perpupil funding by $200 per student. That money will also be used to enroll more kids in preschool and full-day kindergarten, as well as to fund English language learning programs. Higher education will receive an additional $100 million in funding, the majority of which will go toward student financial aid. “We are making a huge investment in our K-12 system,” Ferrandino said. “This is a responsible budget that sets us up for success in the future.” The budget also includes an additional $78 million in disaster relief funds. Money will be available to provide tax relief for homeowners who were impacted by last year’s floods and wildfires, something that was a top priority for the Legislature coming into this year’s session. In addition, the long bill includes 2.5 percent pay increases for state employees and Medicaid providers. Gov. John Hickenlooper will see a few things in the budget that he will surely use in his re-election campaign literature. That includes money that will update outdated computer technology at the Department of Motor Vehicles, which aims to significantly reduce wait times at DMV offices. And the state’s emergency reserves will increase from 5 percent under this year to 6.5 percent, under the new budget. That was a key piece to Hickenlooper’s budget request to the Joint Budget Committee, prior to the start of the legislative session. The budget also includes about $50 million that will be set aside for bills that are currently going through legislative process.
Bill would make one-year changes to teacher-evaluation process By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com School districts would have greater flexibility in deciding how much weight student academic performance would have in evaluating teachers under a bill that passed a Senate committee on March 26. But Republicans who voted against the bill would rather let districts make that decision permanently, rather than the oneyear freedom that the bill allows. Right now, school boards are required to establish a principal- and teacher-evaluation process that bases at least 50 percent of an educator’s annual evaluation on the academic growth of students’ standardized testing scores. The weight of poor student performance can adversely impact educators facing evaluation, which critics of the current law say is unfair because districts may not have the resources to follow through with the requirements. The current requirement is mandated through 2010’s Senate Bill 191, which set a standard for educator performance evaluations. Senate Bill 165 would allow school districts to decide how much — if any — student test data will factor into an educator’s performance evaluation, for the 2014-15 school year. “This is a good compromise between moving forward (with the desire for sound academic requirements) and also being fair to students and education professionals across the state,” said Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, a bill sponsor. Supporters of the legislation say that districts are already having a difficult time
shifting their focus toward new testing this year, without having to keep up with existing mandates. Schools are moving from Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) testing to a new system that will incorporate tests from a multi-state consortium. The bill gives districts time to analyze the new assessments before they’re used to evaluate teachers and principals. The 50 percent student test data threshold will still be used for the current school year, but in a “hold harmless” manner, meaning educators cannot be adversely affected at evaluation time. The bill received supportive committee testimony from key education groups. Jane Urschel, of the Colorado Association of School Boards, said the bill “provides considerable relief for teachers and administrators.” And Kerrie Dallman of the Colorado Education Association said the bill gives districts “more time and training before high-stakes decisions are made about teachers.” The bill has Republican sponsorship in the House with Rep. Carole Murray, of Castle Rock. But the vote in the Democrat majority Senate Education Committee fell on party lines. Sen. Vicky Marble, R-Fort Collins, offered an unsuccessful amendment to the bill that would have allowed districts to decide the weight of student test data in educator evaluations on a permanent basis, not just a year. Marble said that educators are buried in testing and evaluation mandates and that it’s unfair to ask districts to shoulder any more burdens. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Parties clash over funding areas
Lawmakers tend to fight more when there is an abundance of money, rather than during lean budget years. And that was the case in House on March 27 and 28, when more than 40 budget amendments were introduced by lawmakers who were seeking funding for various priorities. They included failed efforts by Republicans to set aside $1.7 million to pay for initial funding of a bill that would create a felony DUI in Colorado for repeat cases of drunken driving. That effort is being sponsored by Rep. Mark Waller, R-Colorado Springs, who is also running for attorney general. “Democrats stated they had set aside money for priorities, yet I cannot think of a bigger priority than protecting Colorado families from habitual drunk drivers,” Waller said through a statement issued after the first night of House debate. Republicans also blasted Democrats for not support GOP measures to increase funding for road construction and backfilling K-12 education budget cuts that has created the so-called “negative factor.” The budget includes $100 million that will be used to buy down the negative factor, but Republicans wanted that buydown to be increased by as much as $35 million more than what’s being proposed. House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, took issue with Democrats’
rejections of GOP proposals. “It’s tough for me to stand here and say this was a broad, bipartisan budget,” DelGrosso said. “We could have done so much more with the resources we have and we could have done it in a fiscally responsible way.” DelGrosso joined 26 other Republicans to vote against the budget. The only Republican to vote yes was Rep. Cheri Gerou of Evergreen, who is a member of the Joint Budget Committee. But Ferrandino said key Republican efforts are not dead. Chances are that Waller’s felony DUI bill will end up passing the House Appropriations Committee — something that Ferrandino assured Waller would happen, Waller told Colorado Community Media. Ferrandino said that Democrats could also get behind another GOP proposal to fund a pilot project for advanced placement students in rural communities, so long as Republicans do something to reduce the price tag of the program. The House speaker said the economy is doing better and the sate can do more things than it has been able to do in recent years. But that doesn’t mean that everyone’s going to get their way. “We still have to live in the realities of the budgets we have,” Ferrandino said. The bill now heads to the Senate.

opinions / yours and ours
Blaming is obstacle on road to accountability “It wasn’t me!” “It’s not my fault!” “I can’t believe they did that!” To me, personal accountability is right up there with character, integrity, and honesty on the value scale. When we make mistakes, and we will, it is our responsibility to own them, fix the issue if possible, move on and learn from each one. As for me, I am doing a lot of learning these days … if you know what I mean. What we have to avoid is the “Blame Game” when it comes to blaming ourselves or others. Whether we try and hide from our errors out of shame, or we have developed a coping mechanism over time that allows us to point the finger of blame at others, it’s time to step up and take ownership of everything we do. And by the way, some of you may have heard or seen this before, but when we point the finger of blame at someone else, there are still three
fingers pointing back in our direction. Do others need to be held accountable? Absolutely. We all make mistakes and err from time to time. And in each case the level of conversation or appropriateness of a discussion around the event will be driven or dictated by the depth of the relationship between the people involved. When we have the strength and confidence to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions, it becomes so much easier to talk with others about their accountability and
letters to the editor Parents’ feedback matters most
I am writing in response to Dave Usecheck’s letter to the editor published March 27, titled “Survey needs to reach parents, non-parents.” There is a reason that businesses require a user code from a sales receipt in order to complete a customer satisfaction survey. Someone who doesn’t have direct shopping experience at Walgreen’s (for example), cannot provide useful feedback to the store, no matter how many times they drive by. Likewise, parents have direct experience with and knowledge of their children’s schools and, if they are involved enough, district policies that the rest of the community does not, no matter how many children knock on their doors selling magazines. If our school district wants to see how paid advertising can affect the public’s perception of the district, they got that in the last election. If they want to see how
their policies and actions are truly affecting students, they must ask the parents, and the parents alone. That said, Mr. Usecheck should be glad to hear that parents who have found the district “reforms” harmful to their children, HAVE recently found some common ground with BoE supporters. After the School Board voted 6-1 to drastically reduce public comments at board meetings, some of their most outspoken supporters are agreeing that this silencing of the public is wrong. I hope that this small piece of common ground can help end the heated rhetoric and name-calling, and provide a foundation upon which to discuss differences of opinion respectfully.

You build them up, they let you down Who and what can you count on? Who and what can you rely upon, each and every day? (Let’s leave God out of this.) It’s a good question. Even the best of friends flake out now and then. The best appliances go on the blink. Technology is always vulnerable. Your car can’t be trusted 100 percent of the time. Your cookies are broken. There are bones in your burrito. Meteorologists? They’re good, but they’re not perfect. I have never complained. Most of the time they are right on it. I always keep in mind that they are not predicting the weather on my street. I can’t count on my favorite actor to always, always be brilliant. The same goes for my favorite musicians. When I was a teenager, if a group had two hits, they would record an album. There would be a hit on each side, and the rest of the songs would be fillers. Most of the time the fillers were duds. Sometimes my favorite group — like Peter, Paul, and Mary — would record a song from the drecky settlings of a songwriter who missed the boat, missed the bus, missed the velocipede. Please don’t make me listen to “I Dig Rock and Roll Music.” My theory is that they thought their day had come and gone, that folk music’s day had come and gone, and that they wanted to look like they were still valid. Instead of singing a rock and roll song, they elected to be rock and roll sycophants. That’s unforgivable. On top of that, they sing the word “dig.” The song came out in 1968. “Dig” had come and gone years before. It made me sad. Unfortunately the damn thing was a hit. I freeze when I hear it, and leap to change it.
One time I changed the station, and the second worse song ever was on. Jefferson Airplane may have taken its name from a slang term for “a paper match splint that holds a marijuana joint that has been smoked too short to hold without burning the fingers.” One disc jockey said they were named after an airplane that was displayed in front of Jefferson High School. Either way, it was a good name. Was. Then someone decided to befriend “Star Wars” and renamed the group “Starship.” That still irritates me. Their first single was awful. Unfortunately it was a hit too. Elton John’s pal Bernie Taupin was involved. Please. Please do not play “We Built This City (on Rock and Roll”). It was all wrong, arrogant, a presumption, badly timed, a once great band’s resignation to the slide back down the hill. It reminded of Academy Award-winning actor Ray Milland appearing in “The Man With Two Heads.” If it had been at the start of his career, OK. It wasn’t. The other head belonged to black football star Roosevelt Grier. What was it like on the set? Was it nonstop laughing? I’ll tell you what I can count on every day.

responsibility. It’s when we act one way and think that it would be OK to absolve ourselves from being held accountable, yet we feel like we can point out the erroneous ways of others, is where we get ourselves in trouble. Accountability sometimes carries a negative connotation, but it doesn’t always have to. People just don’t like being held accountable; it is a strong word for sure and does carry a heavy weight or even burden for some people. Accountability should be a positive word and used to motivate, inspire, and encourage ourselves and others. When used negatively, accountability can become a weapon. When it is used positively it can serve as a tool and launching pad for greatness. The next time you consider pointing your finger somewhere, point it in the direction of where you want to go instead
of pointing it at where you have been or at someone else. Now when you do this, point your finger towards your destination, you will still have three fingers pointing back at yourself. This will remind you that you are the one responsible and accountable for reaching and exceeding your goals. So are you playing the “Blame Game” or are you using accountability as a tool to help drive you toward the achievement of your goals and dreams? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we leverage accountability as a tool and not a weapon, it really will be a better than good week.

Today’s snow is tomorrow’s water Nothing beats a week of gray skies and stuffy suits in Washington like a sunny day in Colorado’s high country. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to strap on some snowshoes for a short hike on Berthoud Pass with local water managers and staff from the Natural Resources Conservation Service. They were taking a manual reading of the state’s snowpack and checking the automatic SNOTEL measurement device. Undersecretary Robert Bonnie, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s top environmental and natural resource official, and the man who oversees NRCS, also came along. These snowpack measurement systems, some that date back to the 1900s, are a critical part of the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting program that Colorado water officials rely on to anticipate river flows in the spring when the snow melts and calculate how much water will run off into rivers and reservoirs. Our state’s farmers and ranchers depend on these forecasts to decide how much and what type of crops to plant, while metropolitan leaders use the data to decide how best to meet their needs in the coming years and to prepare for potential flooding. Beyond Colorado, these measurements are important for states downstream that depend on our watersheds. Colorado contains nine major watersheds, each with its own snowfall patterns and obligations to other states. While some of these water sources may be at 100 percent, in other regions the levels may be less than half
of the normal supply. Many of the state’s water rights agreements are predicated on the level of snowpack making the accuracy of these measurements particularly important. Recently, however, funding for the Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting Program was threatened by budget cuts and sequestration. Colorado communities from across the state shared their strong concerns that cutting funding to this program would damage the accuracy of the measurements and reduce the effectiveness of this vital planning tool. In response to these concerns, we joined forces with Colorado’s water community, Sen. Mark Udall, and Congressman Scott Tipton to urge the NRCS to reconsider the cuts. After working with local communities, water managers, and the NRCS, we secured funding for the program for this winter. In addition, we secured funding in congress for the next fiscal year. We are not out of the woods yet though. Bennet continues on Page 9

Gun lawsuit trial under way Judge’s ruling could impact recently enacted laws in Colorado By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s new gun laws are “burdensome” and “a symbolic gesture that does not improve public safety,” a lawyer said on the first day of testimony of a trial that takes on the legislation passed in 2013. But a state’s attorney said that the laws do nothing to take away guns from law-abiding citizens and that the motivation behind the legislation is to curb mass shootings like the ones that occurred at Columbine High School and from inside an Aurora movie theater. “In response to these events, Colorado’s elected representatives made a policy decision to pass two pieces of legislation that appropriately balances the state’s public
safety concerns with the respect of the Second Amendment rights of citizens,” said Deputy Attorney General Matthew Grove. The lawyers’ arguments opened a twoweek trial over a lawsuit filed against the state and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper that alleges that two recently enacted gun laws violate gun owners’ Second Amendment right to bear arms. At question are laws that expand background checks on gun sales in Colorado and limit the number of rounds that an ammunition magazine can hold to 15. The lawsuit is being brought by gun rights groups and is being heard in a Denver U.S. District Court by Judge Marcia Kreiger. A successful effort by the plaintiffs could put the new laws — which were signed by Hickenlooper last year — in jeopardy. Debate on the bills last year caused highly-charged partisan rancor at the Capitol between Democrats who backed the efforts and Republicans who uniformly voted against them. The bills also led to last year’s recall elections, where three Democratic lawmakers either lost or resigned their seats.
The new background checks law expands a previous statute that requires gun shops to conduct a criminal history prior to the sale of any firearm. The updated law expands that to all sales and transfers, regardless of where or how they occur. Plaintiffs’ attorney Richard Westfall argued that the new background checks law is unreasonable and unenforceable. He took particular issue with a part of the law that prohibits the transfer of guns among friends and family members, without having background checks conducted. “There is no justification for such a burden, particularly because this statute doesn’t even work,” Westfall said. Westfall also took on the magazine limit ban, which bans new sales and transfers of high-capacity ammunition magazines. The law does not apply to existing magazines that may already be in a person’s possession. Westfall argued that the law is unenforceable because “tens of millions of magazines over 15 rounds exist.” He also said the Leg-
islature was “moved by high-profile mass shootings” and that the laws are “a symbolic gesture that do not improve public safety.” “The question is whether the magazine ban will have any positive impact on public safety at any level,” he said. But Grove pushed back against those arguments. He contends that expanding background checks to all potential gun buyers “makes it more difficult for a prohibited person from acquiring firearms.” In defending the new magazine limit, Grove said that restricting the number of rounds that a killer can hold limits the damage that he or she can inflict. “Reloading creates a crucial window of opportunity for a victim to escape or to disarm a gunman,” Grove said. And Grove said that the laws are not aimed at limiting the possession of guns by a law-abiding citizen. “It does not take these items away from people who already own them. It does not restrict their lawful use. It does not limit the choices of firearms Coloradans can carry,” Grove said.
LEGISLATIVE BRIEFS Bill sets up military base-closing study A bill that would commission a study in advance of possible military base closings that could impact the state passed a Senate committee on March 24. The Pentagon has announced that it plans to close some military bases across the country as part of an effort to cut about $900 billion from its defense budget. Senate Bill 157 — which is being sponsored by Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, and Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs — would spend $300,000 to commission a report to the Department of Defense that details the “economic advantages” of keeping and expanding Colorado’s military bases and facilities. The bill received unanimous support
from the Senate State, Military and Veteran’s Affairs Committee and now heads to the Appropriations Committee.
Telecommunications reforms move forward Telecommunications reform efforts, which have struggled for years to come out of the Legislature, could become a reality this session, under a package of bills that passed a House committee on March 25. The package of five bills includes an effort to expand broadband development in rural parts of the state, through a $54 million funding measure that shifts money from an existing phone service subsidy. The bills also seek to deregulate certain broadband technologies and would provide incentive to create broadband services in under-served parts of Colorado.
However, the bills are receiving opposition from groups representing senior citizens, who say transferring the subsidy that’s currently earmarked for basic phone service will give little incentive for companies to continue to provide landline service. The components of the reform effort are similar to those that were included in a single bill that died in the Senate last year. This year’s effort looks promising, given its bipartisan support at the Legislature and the support of Gov. John Hickenlooper. All five bills emerged from the House Business, Labor, Economic and Workforce Committee with bipartisan support. They now head to the Appropriations Committee.
Booking photos for profit a crime under bill A bill that would criminalize companies for posting people’s arrest mug shots and then charge a fee for them to be removed is on its way to the governor’s desk. Supporters of House Bill 1047 say companies often exploit arrestees for monetary gain by charging as much as hundreds of dollars to have booking photos taken down from websites. Under the bill, anyone could still obtain mug shots, which are public record. But people would have to sign a statement that declares they would not seek financial gain by doing so. The bill passed the House earlier this session and passed the Senate on March 25, following a 23-11 vote.

Oh yay, Chick-fil-A
Looking at the photo the Herald posted in its March 27 issue of people actually camping out overnight for the opening of the new Chick-fil-A in Highlands Ranch inspired these reminders: • We needed another chain fast-food restaurant in the Town Center area like Colfax needs another tattoo shop. • Chick-fil-A has a rotten track record of anti-gay discrimination, including millions donated from the corporation to gay-bashing groups.

Students’ excitement invigorates classroom Bye-bye boredom, says winner of Apple Award By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch fifth-grade teacher Jenny Henry has turned the reins of education over to her students. “I’m no longer the expert,” said Henry, a Copper Mesa Elementary School teacher whose teaching style recently was recognized with a Douglas County School District Apple Award. “We know kids are capable of wonderful things. But you have no idea, when you hand that power over to them, just how they take off.” Henry, a 12-year DCSD teacher, said she
embraced a shift in teaching that encourages more student collaboration and less teacher-focused instruction. “It made sense to me,” she said. “It just spoke to the core of who I am and what I believe about what we give to kids, our role as teachers, how important what we’re doing is. I plowed ahead with the idea of kids being more empowered in the classroom, myself taking on the role of a facilitator instead of just delivering the information to kids.” Henry describes the change as a “power shift” that excited both the students and her. “There’s not a single kid who’s bored anymore; they’re practically sprinting to get in the door,” she said. “Three of my kids were practically in tears because they said, `We don’t want spring break.’ That tells me we’re doing
something right.” Henry lit that spark at the beginning of the 201314 academic year by asking all her students to answer a single, profound question: Why does the world need me? Henry The responses she got delighted and amazed her. One student said she would start her own business, and donate the proceeds to a hospital. Another wanted to create and sell a miniature solar-powered water purifier on a buy-one, get-one-free basis, so the second purifier could be donated to a country in need. Another wanted to explore the merits of cross-breeding a salamander and a newt.
“I never told him that wasn’t possible,” Henry said. “I just allowed him to explore that. “I’ve set up a room where it’s safe to explore and take those chances. It’s OK to fail.” Henry, the 37-year-old single mom of a toddler, said her love of teaching has reached a new level. “I think this has definitely brought back that passion and excitement for teaching,” she said. Reinvigorated as she is about teaching, Henry never thought it would lead to an award. “It’s an honor to be a teacher,” she said, “and to be in a district that supports innovative, world-class education. “I do believe it’s what’s best for kids. They guide everything I do every day.”
Douglas County approves fee waivers for two companies By Hannah Garcia
hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County commissioners unanimously approved two fee waiver requests at their March 25 land use meeting. Fee waivers are one of the incentives offered by the county for businesses looking to move to the county or expand within its
borders. The commissioners waived $39,854 in fees for Colorado Studios and $6,511 for Cincinnati-based Vantiv Inc. Colorado Studios specializes in the manufacture and operation of mobile TV production units and is responsible for 4,000 live sporting events, including the Colorado Rockies and the Colorado Avalanche. The fee waivers apply to a planned move to the High-
Field Business Park in Meridian, where the company will build a 39,877-square-foot assembly and production facility. The company hopes to move in January and will employ 45 full-time workers at the new site with an average salary of $72,762. The commission also approved waving building permit fees for financial services business firm Vantiv Inc., a company that

Former school board president seeks CU Regents’ seat in 2014 By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com
As wildfire season approaches, several Colorado state lawmakers are pushing the state to secure its own aerial firefighting fleet. Republican state Sen. Steve King, Senate President Morgan Carroll and Senate Minority leader Bill Cadman are behind SB 14-164, a bipartisan effort that would give Colorado its own fleet.

Legislators hope bill soars Special to Colorado Community Media As wildfire season approaches, several Colorado state lawmakers are pushing the state to secure its own aerial firefighting fleet. Republican State Sen. Steve King, Senate President Morgan Carroll and Senate Minority leader Bill Cadman are behind SB 14-164, a bipartisan effort that would give Colorado its own firefighting fleet. King and others hosted an open house on March 26 at Centennial Airport that fea-
tured a live water drop demonstration of the Martin Marietta C-130 Hercules Next Generation Airtanker, built by Coulson Aviation USA. Last year, SB 13-245 created the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps, but the state currently has no such aircraft. Should the new bill pass, it would permit the state, for the 2014 fire season, to purchase, lease, or contract for the use of up to three firefighting helicopters. For the 2015 fire season and beyond, the state could use up to four large aircraft from the federal government or other sources.

Former Douglas County School Board president John Carson is running for a spot on the University of Colorado-Boulder board of regents during the November 2014 election. If elected, Carson would essentially trade seats in 2015 with sitting District 6 CU-Regent Jim Geddes, recently elected to the Douglas County School board. The Highlands Ranch Republican served on the school board for eight years, the last four as its president. He left his term-limited seat in November. “The University of Colorado has always been a great love of mine,” said Carson, a CU graduate with degrees in law and political science. “I want to work to continue to prove it.” Carson cited rising tuition as his top concern. The CU-Regents voted March 21 to raise tuition 3.3 percent for the coming academic year. “The cost for an in-state student at CU is close to $30,000 a year, if you count room and board and tuition,” he said. “It’s gone up 50 percent in the last six years. Middle-class kids are faced with having a tremendous debt burden if they go to college and don’t come from a wealthy household. ... I think we need to take a look at the budget situation at
Carson
the university, and make sure we get the university on a budget that reflects middle class families and their priorities.” Carson, along with Geddes, wants to ensure students at the traditionally liberal college are exposed to a variety of political
viewpoints. “I want to make sure the university offers a good, balanced education, and a lot of intellectual diversity,” Carson said. Geddes, elected to the DCSD board in November 2013, said Carson has his support. “He is a strong conservative,” he said. “He shares my concerns about the cost of higher education, and that the quality of education at CU and similar universities would be greatly enhanced if we could have more intellectual diversity of our faculty.” While on the DSCD board, Carson participated in and oversaw the introduction of many of the district’s educationreform policies, including the voucher, or Choice Scholarship, program, teacher pay-for-performance and the end of the long-standing agreement with the teachers’ union. He also helped implement budget changes designed to build up the district’s financial reserves. Aurora Democrat Naquetta Ricks and Fort Lupton Republican Paul Schauer also are running for the District 6 seat.

By Chris Rotar
crotar @coloradocommunitymedia.com As president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce for 10 years, John Brackney wore many hats — literally and figuratively. During a farewell address of sorts, four days after announcing his resignation, Brackney used all manner of headwear to tell the story of what the chamber has meant to him. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon and Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec were among the dozens of public officials and chamber members gathered for the March 28 event at the chamber’s headquarters in Centennial. Brackney did not discuss why he suddenly resigned March 24, nor did he talk about what his plans are. Neither was there any talk of the process for finding a replacement. This day was really about chamber members taking their hats off to Brackney. “If you’ve had a great leader, that leader has left you in dramatically better shape than when he came,” said Rick Whipple, CEO of WhippleWood CPAs and the chairman-elect of the chamber’s board of directors. “He has left the chamber in great shape.” The presentation began with Brackney unloading two large bags of hats, a motley assortment he had accumulated over the years, on a pair of tables. Over the next hour, he would wear them all. There was the multicolored hat that he said represents fun. There was the baseball cap with the City of Centennial’s logo — a symbol that came

Republican assembly paints primary picture Three GOP races to be contested this June in Douglas County By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@coloradocommunitymedia.com In addition to the sheriff’s race, there were three other contested races at this year’s Douglas County Republican General Assembly. In all three races — to replace state Rep. Carole Murray in House District 45, Jack Hilbert as District 1 commissioner, and Lora Thomas as coroner — all prospective candidates received the minimum 30 percent support at the March 22 assembly to make the June primary ballot. Running to replace Murray in the state House, political newcomer Patrick Neville, a retired Army captain who resides in Franktown, defeated Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Jack Arrowsmith by a margin of 64 percent to 36 percent at the assembly. Neville said his main takeaway from the experience was “that Douglas County is ready for bold, conservative leadership.” He said he’ll “bring a new energy and a passion for what (he) believes in,” putting an emphasis on fiscally conservative values. Arrowsmith, who has served the last seven years as clerk and recorder, touted his experience, a background that also includes four years as a legislative co-chair for the Colorado County Treasurers’ and Public Trustees Association, five years on the county’s planning commission working with land use and water rights, and three years on the Douglas County Open Space Advisory Committee. The Castle Rock resident said he “understands the value in protecting rural Douglas County.” While Arrowsmith said his level of experience is “something his opponent doesn’t

the delegates and alternates did and I’m very pleased for the way it turned out.” Thomas and Anderson both expressed disappointment with the caucus process, and the fact that Colorado is among the minority of states that still adheres to it. Both also agreed the process is not necessarily a representative one as intended. “The caucus system is designed to work for the political machines and I am not a political machine,” said Anderson, lamenting that there was neither time nor money to pull

support and I look forward to serving them in the future.”
GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESULTS House District 45: Patrick Neville 64% Jack Arrowsmith 36% Douglas County Sheriff: Tony Spurlock 50.4% Lora Thomas 24.8% John Anderson 24.6% Douglas County Coroner: Tracey Montano 57.7% Jill Romann 42.2%
District 1 Douglas County Commissioner: Dave Weaver 61.3% Stevan Strain 38.6%
the general assembly, representing 100,905 registered Republicans in Douglas County. For those who earn more than 10 percent support at the assembly but less than 30 percent, they were given nine days to collect 5,040 signatures (20 percent of the total number of votes at the 2010 Republican primary) if they chose to attempt to petition on to the primary ballot.
Also on the primary ballot
To replace Hilbert as county commissioner — which represents the northeastern portion of the county — Sheriff David Weaver defeated businessman Stevan Strain, 61.3 percent to 38.6 percent. Weaver is term-limited in his current elected office. Strain, pleased to be on the primary ballot, was far from discouraged by the assembly vote, which heard the voices of 473 delegates, a small portion of the county’s 100,905 registered Republican voters. “It is about the party right now, to see if I am a qualified candidate,” Strain said. “I worked for 30 years to get the experience for the platform I’m running on … doing what is great for the citizens of Douglas County, holding down taxes, providing goods and
services.” Strain, who recently sold the Warhorse Inn after 30 years of running the popular Parker restaurant, currently serves on the county’s planning commission and open space advisory board. He has also served as president of the Parker Chamber of Commerce and Parker Economic Development Council, been involved with the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and sat on the library board of directors. Weaver, on the other hand, pointed to being a longtime resident, who in his role as sheriff, has really gotten to “know the people and know the issues” as well as gain valuable experience in balancing a budget upward of $50 million. “At the end of the day, I care tremendously about this county and its future,” he said. “It all comes down to providing governance. My concerns are plentiful with balanced growth, water solutions, and I bring experience in leadership and management, and have a lot of knowledge and experience in serving people as we continue to grow at a rapid speed with the goal of continuing to have a thriving economy. “I appreciate the time and effort the delegates put forth in understanding all of the candidates and the issues that face us here as a community. I appreciate the overwhelming
In the race to replace former sheriff’s candidate Lora Thomas as coroner, Tracey Montano defeated Jill Romann 57.7 percent to 42.2 percent at the assembly, and both candidates will appear on the primary ballot. The following candidates had no competition at the general assembly and will run unopposed in the party’s primary this June: At the state level, Chris Holbert, currently the representative in HD-44, is running to replace term-limited Ted Harvey in Senate District 30. Jack Hilbert, currently the District 1 county commissioner, is running to replace Holbert in HD-44. And Kevin Van Winkle is running to replace term-limited Frank McNulty in HD-43. At the county level, Merlin Klotz is running to replace Arrowsmith as clerk and recorder. Diane Holbert is running for re-election as treasurer. Lisa Frizell is running to replace termlimited Teri Cox as assessor. And Robert Snodgrass is running to replace retiring Dale Hamilton as the county surveyor. As of now Snodgrass is the only Douglas County Republican aside from sheriff’s candidate Tony Spurlock, who has competition waiting in the general election. In November, Snodgrass will face Democrat William Buntrock, who was defeated by Hamilton in 2010. Also of note, HD-39 incumbent Polly Lawrence, who lives in Roxborough, is the only Republican that has filed to run for that seat. As that district represents both Douglas and Teller County, the assembly to place her on the ballot will be held April 11 with delegates from both counties. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lawrence stands to face Larkspur Democrat Carla Turner in the general election for a second consecutive time.
together enough signatures before the deadline. “Twenty votes kept me off the ballot. I’m just disappointed that 460 people can decide how hundreds of thousands of people would vote. I don’t think it’s right. “You go in believing in the system, and there are people that give you thousands of dollars to support you and knowing what I know now, I feel they were ripped off.” Thomas pointed to the fact that in 2010, she narrowly lost to Carter Lord in the race for coroner at the assembly, losing 50.8 percent to 49.2 percent with 417 delegates voting. She then went on to carry 94 percent of the precincts at the Republican primary, winning by a margin of 21.6 percent with more than 26,000 votes cast. She said those same delegates that gave
“Tony Spurlock a free ride” are “out of step with most Republican voters” and what happened in 2010 demonstrates that. “Why did 50 percent of the Republican party bosses at the assembly vote for someone other than Tony Spurlock? They recognized the need for new leadership and fresh ideas,” she said. “The calls that I’ve received this week indicate that Douglas County Republican voters aren’t pleased with this arrangement.” Anderson said he doesn’t know how to change it, but that he plans to educate more people about the process and that change needs to come at the state level, and he hopes it will. “There are a lot of people that are unhappy that they were denied the ability to vote,”
he said. “Their voices don’t get to be heard.” Douglas County Republican chairman Craig Steiner said that he personally likes the process and that it is “open to any Republican who decides to show up and caucus,” and that they alone have the ability to “determine the outcome.” At the same time Steiner said, while candidates can choose to forego the caucus and assembly and begin petitioning Feb. 1 with the same March 31 deadline, he doesn’t feel like there is enough time after the assembly for candidates to petition on to the ballot if they don’t get the 30 percent, as all petitions must be filed 85 days in advance of the party’s primary election. “I hope that is something that is fixed in Colorado election law,” he said.
may find it, we still live in a Republic.” Promoted as a way to expedite the board’s business, the change focuses the bulk of public comment on items listed on the agenda. Instead of the 30-minute period now reserved for public comment, much of which has been sharply critical of the board — public comment now will be allowed only at the meeting’s end during a five-minute, one-minute-per-speaker period.
The Douglas County Republicans actively campaigned for and supported the reformminded board members in the last three elections, but Gill said he’s far from alone in his position. “I think you could safely say many of the Republicans who support and have supported the board are not at all pleased with this decision and certainly will be urging them to correct it,” Gill said. “I think the board has to
learn to be more open and to appear more open.” Larsen did not return calls from Colorado Community Media requesting comment. Gill is among many who hope the discovery of common ground in the long-divided DCSD school board community could spark some unity. “Maybe that is something good that will come out of this,” he said.

Gone West
Wonderbound troupe offers new creation at PACE Center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Wonderbound is a dance company under the direction of Garrett Ammon and Dawn Fay — 11 dancers who are known for unusual movement and collaboration with other artists in the community, as new works are created. The most recent creation is “Gone West,” with 11 new poems by Michael J. Henry, director of the Lighthouse Writers Workshop, and 10 new songs written by Denver musician Ian Cooke, a cellist
IF YOU GO
“Gone West” will be performed April 4-6 at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W. 84th Ave., Federal Heights. Performances: 7:30 p.m. April 4, 5; 2 p.m. April 6. Tickets: 303-292-4700. On April 12 at 7:30 p.m. and April 13 at 2 p.m., “Gone West” will be presented at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker. Tickets: $22-$47, 303-8056800, wonderbound.com. with a popular band, which will accompany the dancers. Ammon writes of the “collection of beautifully flawed humans” brought to life in Henry’s poetry, while Cooke said, “My inspiration for `Gone West’ comes
from the relationships humans have with each other and the earth. I think periodic exposure to raw unfiltered nature gives us clarity and helps us sort out our issues … Nature can be harsh, but even when it causes traumatic events, it helps us evolve … telling this story together through dance, poetry and music is one of the best, most human ways to do so.” The performance is described as a Western journey that is a cross between Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and a KOA Campground. Contemporary ballet draws on many sources, both new and traditional, to offer yet another way of telling stories to an audience. These are exceptional dancers.

Denver’s iconic 40-foot-tall Blue Bear, titled “I See What You Mean,” now has more to look at as he peers into the Denver Convention Center. Eight new works of art were recently placed in the center to enhance the experience of the many visitors who trek through its exhibit spaces and halls. The artworks were paid for through a public-private partnership between the City and County of Denver and the convention center’s management company, SMG, which commissioned the project. Total cost was $235,000. The pieces mark the introduction of Denver’s newly announced cultural plan, “IMAGINE 2020,” and were selected through NINEdotARTS, a local cultural consultant, with representatives from Denver Arts and Venues, Visit Denver, SMG and members of the Denver arts community. The focus was on Denver artists and galleries. Half of the artists are younger than 35, although Denver veterans Roland Bernier and Phil Bender are also included. For Bernier, it’s the largest installation in his 60-year career of creat-
ing art from words (“Wall of Words”). Choices range from traditional landscape through Bernier’s words and Bender’s license plates to Mindy Bray’s huge mural and Ian Fisher’s images of clouds and sky. (Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood recently exhibited his work.) On the wall by the two-story escalator that carries one up to the exhibition halls is a 95-by-95-foot site-specific mural by Mindy Bray, titled “The Heavy is the Root of the Light.” It is based on photographs of the Platte River nearby at Confluence Park and speaks of the flow of pedestrians as well as that of the river. The title is a line from the Tao Te Ching. Bray is a painter and installation artist based in Denver, who received her MFA from the University of Iowa in 2005. She has taught at the University of Denver and Metropolitan State University and exhibited nationally. Her artist statement reads: “All visual experience is filtered, as the brain categorizes and creates patterns in order to attempt an understanding of what is being experienced …. My works on paper and on the wall describe an intersection of the natural world and built environments ….” We hope the metropolitan area arts community is aware of its aspirations.
ride, one I have appreciated and cherished every day.

Girls team: League of their own
Girls team features four seniors, a junior and a sophomore By Jim Benton
jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com After learning about the six players selected to Colorado Community Media’s All South Metro Girls Basketball Team, one coach commented that she could win with this squad. The six-player team was chosen by the CCM sports staff from among players in the south metro Denver area, and the chosen players would give any coach a variety of winning options.

Jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Zach Braxton, an anchor in the paint for Highlands Ranch, and Mountain Vista sharpshooter Jake Pemberton headline Colorado Community Media’s All South Metro Boys Basketball Team. The six-player team was chosen by the CCM sports staff from among players in the south metro Denver area. Braxton, a 6-foot-9 senior who is bound for Weber State, was one of the
Vista and Rock Canyon’s Lexy Thorderson. But still, there is plenty of rebounding ability, and all six players are scoring threats. The 6-foot Thorderson, a senior who will play next season for San Diego State, was a problem for opposing defenses to contain this year because she could score from long range and also do damage in the paint. She led the Continental League with a 17.8 scoring average and made 73 3-point

most dominating players around the basket in the state. He was the Continental League’s Player of the Year after posting a double-double in every game this season despite being the main focus of every opposing team’s defense. Braxton averaged 17.9 points this season for the Falcons, a league-leading 13.8 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game. Pemberton led the Continental League in scoring at 19 points a game. He also averaged 6.4 rebounds and 3.8 steals for the Golden Eagles who advanced to the Final Four. The 6-3 senior who has signed to

play at the University of Denver is a smart player who makes big plays at big times. He is a great jump shooter from any range. Rounding out the team are Chase Foster of Valor Christian, Chaparral’s Jake Holtzmann, Ethan Brunhofer of Arapahoe and Rock Canyon’s Mitch Lombard. Foster, a 6-5 senior who will play at the University of San Francisco, is a very athletic player who can do it all. He averaged 20.3 points for the Eagles and pulled down 5.1 rebounds. Holtzmann, a 6-6 junior, took over for
Baker, at 5-10, was the Continental League’s leading rebounder, averaging 9.8 boards per game. The University of Wyoming-bound senior scored at a 14.9 clip. For the second straight season, Eppard averaged a double-double for Cherry Creek. She is very good around the basket, scoring 15.6 points while pulling down 10.9 rebounds and she managed 3.5 assists per game. The 5-11 senior will attend Elmhurst College next year and play basketball. Bradbury, a 5-10 junior, led Valor with a 17.1 scoring average and also pulled down 8.7 rebounds per game. Pearson, who stands 5-8, was part of a talented class of sophomore players in the area. She connected on 66 3-point baskets and averaged 13.3 points and 2.4 steals per game. Players eligible for the all-star team come from all schools in Douglas County, the Littleton Public Schools District and from Cherry Creek H i g h School.
injured Brandon Malone as the Grizzlies featured player. He is an all-around performer who handled the ball, made passes and found time to score. He averaged 16 points and 4.4 rebounds. Brunhofer, a 6-2 senior, will play football next season for Butler but was a standout on the basketball court for an undersized but scrappy Arapahoe squad. He did whatever was required for the Warriors. He can produce around the basket against bigger opponents and finished the season scoring 16.3 points and averaging 6.3 rebounds. Lombard, a smooth player, who drives to the basket to make plays, is a 6-1 junior averaging 13.5 points and 5.3 assists. Players eligible for the team come from all schools in Douglas County, the Littleton Public Schools District and from Cherry Creek High School.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF MaR 31, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to apr 19) Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes isn’t easy for you. But if you do it, you’ll gain a better perspective of what you need to do to achieve your goals. Be open to new ideas. TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) There are still some problems you might have to deal with before moving on to your next project. It’s a good idea to accept help from those who share your objectives. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) It’s time to recognize the difference between those who are truly concerned for you and those who simply plan to use your good nature to their advantage. New ideas become increasingly attractive.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Depending on a promise made becoming a promise kept could be more than a mite unwise at this time. It’s best to proceed on your own rather than wait for aid that might never arrive. LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) a recently revitalized relationship might not be quite what the Big Cat expected. But give yourself more time to deal with the changes. a little flexibility can go a long way. Good luck. VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) a major change could prompt more adjustments. Some of them might be difficult to deal with at first. But hang in there, and before you know it, you’ll be coasting to your next goal. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your sense of justice prompts you to speak out against an unfair situation, even if you seem to be the only one who feels that way. But you soon learn that many others agree with you. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Creating a fuss is not usually your style. But that doesn’t mean you should tolerate an ill-mannered attitude. Speak up for yourself, and you’ll earn the respect of others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You might have a few loose ends to tie up before you can stamp your project as complete. But once that’s done, you might want to celebrate with someone special in your life. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Disappointment darkens the Goat’s mood. But close friends rally to pull you through with words of encouragement. Use their confidence in you to rebuild your own self-esteem. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) an upcoming decision might be more difficult with inaccurate information. Best to recheck the data you have at hand right now to be sure it won’t mislead you later. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) an offer you previously turned down might no longer be available. But if you do some checking around, you could find something else that would suit you just fine. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in helping those who cannot help themselves. although it embarrasses you, the fact is, people like you and tell you so. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Mountain Vista escapes with 5-4 win Arapahoe girls late rally falls short in non-league soccer game By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista raised its record to 5-0 despite a late challenge from Arapahoe as the Golden Eagles posted a 5-4 victory March 29 at a non-league girls soccer game at Shea Stadium. “I didn’t worry we would lose the game when the score got close but I was disappointed that our team gave up four goals in the final 15 minutes,” Mountain Vista Coach Theresa Echtermeyer said after the game. “We were up 5-0 so maybe we got a little overconfident and I made a lot of substitutions. Arapahoe also more aggressively pushed the attack late in the second half and we got a little disorganized. But we will learn from this game as we move forward in the season.” The Golden Eagles stood at 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the 5A Continental League heading into their April 1 matchup with Ponderosa. Following an April 3 game at Chaparral, Mountain Vista will face Rock Canyon (4-0, 2-0) in a key league tilt at 7 p.m. April 8 at Shea Stadium. The Golden Eagles then travel to Regis on April 10 and play Littleton April 15 at Littleton Public School Stadium. On March 29, Mountain Vista appeared firmly in control for most of the game as Megan Massey and Katie Joella scored goals for the Golden Eagles to give their
Mountain Vista forward Kelsey Luke (19) battles Arapahoe’s Paige Husa (12) for the ball during a March 29 game at Shea Stadium. Mountain Vista won, 5-4. Photo by Tom Munds team a 2-0 lead at halftime. The team continued to use speed and pinpoint lead passes to press the attack in the second half and went up 5-0 on goals by Mallory Pugh, Joella and Mia Bonifazi with 14:30 left in the game. Peyton Joseph and Pugh each had an assist and teammate Morgan McDougal dished off two assists to help their team’s scoring efforts. Refusing to give in, the Arapahoe attack began clicking with just less than 10 minutes remaining on the clock. Maggie Sex-
ton drilled an on-target shot into the upper left corner of the goal to start the scoring and Lauren Conley, Kai-Bin Ooi and Amenda Cadorette all scored goals to make the score 5-4 with 2:11 left in the game. Although the Warriors continued to press the attack, the Mountain Vista defense stiffened and prevented the tying goal. The Mountain Vista coach said her team plays a ball control style which often means taking the ball deep in Golden Eagle
territory to reset in order to again mount the pressing, fast-pace attack. She said the defending state champions are a young team that is made up primarily of year-round soccer players including Pugh, a sophomore, who is a member of the U.S. Women’s Under 19 Soccer team. Massey, a junior midfielder, is another year-round soccer player. “I love the sport,” she said. “I enjoy being with teammates and I enjoy the competition. I also like playing midfield where I can to help push the attack and shoot from the top of the goalie box. I like to shoot high because most goalies can’t get up to block it. She said a personal goal this season is to score more than the 17 goals she scored last year. She smiled as she said she hasn’t scored a lot of goals so far this season but she got one against Arapahoe so the scoring total is coming along. Junior midfielder Morgan McDougal splits her time between basketball and soccer. “I have been playing soccer since I was about 3 or so,” she said. “Soccer is my game but I also play basketball. I took a break this year but I expect to play basketball again next year.” She said her favorite position is center midfield where she can roam the field, helping the defense by winning balls out of the year but also helping with the attack by either passing to a teammate who has a shot at the goal or taking the shot herself. “I don’t have any personal goals this season,” she said. “I just want to help my team win games and get back to the state tournament.”
SPORTS ROUNDUP Spring break baseball
Mountain Vista won the AAA Division of the Coach Bob Invitational baseball tournament held in Phoenix. The Golden Eagles won four games starting with a 1-0 triumph over North Medford, Ore.

Jack Stunc went 9-for-16 in the four games to pace the Golden Eagles offensive attack. In the March 26 win over Horizon Christian, Brady Shubat, Brian Froechtenigt and Marc Mumper combined to go 9-for-10 with 16 runs batted in. Shubat
