Jail expanding into the future Medical building has focus on mental health, drug issues

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia. com With completion set for later this year, Douglas County is busy finishing up remodeling and expansion projects for its jail.

The implementation of a medical services building is one of the more significant additions to the detention facility in Castle Rock, a response to a rising population of inmates with mental illness, medical needs and drug addictions.

“If they end up here, and we can’t help them, they get out and do it again,” said Holly Nicholson-Kluth, administrative services bureau chief for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

On March 11, county commissioners approved funds totaling $136,727.54 for the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center medical building network equipment and booking area remodeling projects. The whole venture is projected to cost $25 million and

Three members of the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s board of directors will keep their positions, following a vote by delegates on March 18.

Christina Caputo, Scott Lemmon and Dennis Seymour all secured more votes than delegate Shon Payne, who was the only candidate not currently on the board.

Delegates voted to cast a secret ballot, which Lemmon said was “a first ever.”

With three seats open on the board, the three top vote-getters would fill those seats.

Caputo led with 20,694 lot votes, followed

by Lemmon with 17,495, Seymour with 15,863 and Payne with 12,964.

“Obviously, enough delegates believe the board is doing what they’re supposed to be doing, even though they don’t communicate anything,” Payne said after the meeting. “That’s why I ran.”

Lemmon, who serves as the board president, called efforts to improve communications between the board of directors and the delegates as an “immediate, fundamental need” and said that while talking to delegates, he was surprised by the amount of “misconceptions and misunderstandings.”

“Not everybody attends work sessions or board meetings,” Lemmon said. “There are lots of good conversations (there).”

Lemmon also said he was “happy” that the current board will be able to continue working on projects, like developing a strategic plan for capital investments.

Before voting, Caputo said that, although there are communication issues among neighbors, delegates and the board, the organization is making progress.

“We would like to continue working on that momentum,” Caputo said.

Last month, Seymour said he would like to start “filling out the ranks,” referencing vacancies in the delegate body. The organization just added four new delegates.

“When I reached out to the delegates to get opinions, I ran into a lot of good ideas that gave me enthusiasm,” Seymour said.

First-grade teacher hooked on fishing, change Sand Creek educator gives kids more control in classroom

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, Sand Creek Elementary first-grade teacher Robin Schumacher admits she’s uncomfortable with change.

But opening herself up not only to change but to mistakes proved contagious; her students felt comfortable trying something new as well.

From there, things snowballed — all the way to an Apple Award.

Schumacher won the Elementary Teacher Award during the annual Douglas County School District event, held March 1 in

downtown Denver.

“I’ve stepped out of my shell a little bit lately and been a bit of a pioneer with my first-graders this year,” the 32-year-old said.

“I’ve been changing a lot of what I’m doing, so it’s not like your typical brick-and-mortar classroom. I’m helping them build their skills, so they’re more in charge of their learning.”

Schumacher challenged her students to use a software program called Toon Boom to create movies about natural resources.

“We’re trying to get our kids to show what they know while they’re learning,” Schumacher said. Using the animation program “was easy for older kids, but I didn’t know if first-graders could do it.”

The teacher at the Highlands Ranch school said the movies her students made were nothing short of amazing. Seeing how they responded to that challenge inspired Schumacher to continue setting goals she previously wouldn’t have considered. That included more group work.

“You’d be surprised which kids really step up when I don’t give them the answers,” she said.

“It’s sometimes my shyest and quietest kids that are taking that leadership role.”

They’ve even stumped the teacher. During a discussion on U.S. symbols, one student asked how many pennies it would take to cover the Statue of Liberty.

“We researched,” Schumacher said.

The answer? “One billion, 366 million, 777 thousand and 110 pennies.”

“When I’m letting them work in the collaborative groups, I’m getting a lot more questioning. It’s cool to show them I don’t know all the answers, but we can find the answers.”

Born into a family of teachers, Schumacher never doubted her calling. She grew up in Lakewood, graduating from the University of Northern Colorado. In 2006, she started teaching at Sand Creek.

But she stuck to traditional teaching methods initially.

“I did what was comfortable,” she said.

“Sitting in front of a group reading a book, you learn the facts and repeat them to me — that was what I grew up with, too.

“Now, I try to pose a question to everything they’re doing. It puts a spark behind

When she’s not teaching elementary school, Schumacher and her husband teach kindergarten Sunday school at Harvest Bible Chapel in Cherry Hills Village.

She’s also an avid fisherwoman who enjoys Colorado’s outdoor scene.

But her favorite place is in the classroom.

“I love teaching,” Schumacher said.

“I could not see myself doing anything else. My heart is with kids.”

The debate over the ‘nanny state’ S If you have ever seen a 1950s sitcom, a la “Leave it to Beaver,” you know exactly how opponents of perceived “nanny state” government intrusions view some of the bills that have emerged from this legislative session.

“Aw, gee whiz, mom. Do I have to?”

So far this session, we have seen legislation aimed at curbing smoking, tanning and talking on cell phones.

But the bills have a worse winning percentage than the Buffalo Bills. Legislation that sought to ban the sale of cigarettes to folks under 21 failed in a House committee recently, as did a separate effort that would have required drivers to use hands-free devices when talking on their cell phones.

Meanwhile, a bill that prohibits people under 18 from using tanning beds barely passed the House and faces an uncertain fate in the Senate.

The bills have led to fascinating debates among lawmakers over government’s role in the balancing of setting sound public health and safety policy while protecting citizens’ rights to make decisions for themselves — whether they’re bad ones or not.

“To pass a law against everything all the time is, once again, the nanny state,” said Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs.

Republicans like Gardner typically don’t like this kind of stuff — bills aimed at telling people what they can and can’t do. But this year’s efforts have blurred political lines.

The under-21 smoking-ban bill received Republican sponsorship. And some Demo-

crats opposed both the youth tanning bed ban and the bill that deals with drivers’ use of cell phones.

“There is a streak within Colorado, both among Democrats and Republicans, who have a Libertarian tendency, and I tend to be one of those,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver.

Ferrandino voted against the tanning bill and said he would not have supported the smoking ban bill, either.

“There’s a difference between when it impacts you and you’re making your own decision versus what the impact on what someone else is,” he said.

But the House’s second-in-command disagrees. House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel, voted for the youth tanning bed legislation and supported the effort to ban the sale of smokes to those under 21.

“We act all the time in this body and at all legislative bodies across the country to attempt to improve public health and safety, and this is one pretty good idea that I

support,” she said.

Supporters of the so-called “nanny state” bills say the policy proposals aren’t government’s way of telling adults not to run with scissors. They believe they are setting sound public safety policy.

Breaking news: cancer is bad for you.

And smoking and ultraviolet rays cause it.

And the last person you want to be driving behind on the interstate is some dumbbell who is flipping through every conceivable application on his phone while others drive by, flipping him off.

Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, who sponsored the cell phone legislation, said people once thought that laws requiring people to wear seat belts were also nanny state efforts.

“I think we found that over time that it became acceptable, and now it’s become a complete habit to buckle your seat belt when you get into a vehicle,” Melton said.

“I think its more than just government trying to tell you what to do, but also looking at how can we lower some of our costs by doing some things now.”

But does Joe Public like legislative efforts to curb bad or unhealthy behaviors?

“You have certain constituencies that are very passionate about these issues,” said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, who used the youth tanning bed bill as an example. “But I can tell you that the people who I represent, it’s not even at the top of their list — don’t even make their list.”

But do politicians practice consistency

when they talk about not wanting the government to intrude on people’s affairs?

Bra Republicans will blast government attempts to intervene in a person’s life, but dodec their views on a woman’s right to choose or support of gay marriage bans confuse theBy J jsmi issue?

At the same time, if Democrats want the government to stay out of people’s Jo bedrooms, why is it OK for it be in tanningthe S merc rooms?

Ferrandino acknowledges that, on issuesignat like these, “sometimes it becomes a politi-Marc cal thing, rather than a fundamental ideol- “I steps ogy thing.”

“I really appreciate people who are con-torch sistent in their Libertarian identity,” theresig awes House speaker said.

Efforts to curb bad behaviors have beencher a staple of state and federal government forbut a a long, long time and I doubt they’re goingsmal busin anywhere, any time soon.

But does telling someone not to dothat something that’s bad for them really work? creas I’m not sure. But it reminds me of a linequali from the Dudley Moore classic comedy “Ar- H thur,” when Arthur’s fiancee tells the lov-man able drunk that “a real woman can stop youreaso his le from drinking.”

“It’d have to be a real big woman,” Arthur said.

’ South Metro Chamber president resigns gov-

Brackney steps down after a t atut dodecade at helm of organization

se or e theBy Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

want ople’s John Brackney, president and CEO of ningthe South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, unexpectedly announced his resssuesignation via email to chamber members oliti-March 24. deol- “In order for the chamber to take new steps, the time has come for me to pass the con-torch to a new generation of leaders. I am theresigning as CEO,” he wrote. “It has been an awesome ride, one I have appreciated and beencherished every day. Admittedly imperfect nt forbut always driven, I hope I have made some goingsmall contribution to the success in your business and your life. My greater hope is o dothat we all re-commit to building an inork? creasingly vibrant business community and a linequality of life.” y “Ar- Herm Brocksmith, the chamber’s chairlov-man of the board, declined to comment on p youreasons Brackney might be leaving, calling his leadership an inspiration to other memrthur

bers.

“The challenge now for the board is to find that next executive who will be bold and embrace the values the chamber has to move forward,” he said. “John was a very good CEO for a long period of time.”

Brackney began his journey with the chamber 17 years ago as a member. He was hired six years later before becoming president in 2004.

He gave no indication publicly that he was leaving prior to sending the letter and was not immediately available for comment.

Brackney Several people wished Brackney well on his Facebook page.

“Thanks for your incredible service,” wrote Jeff Wasden, the chamber’s vice chair of public affairs. “The Chamber will miss you, but I fully expect we will move forward and become bigger and stronger.”

A Littleton native, Brackney earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Northern Colorado and his law degree from the University of Den-

ver College of Law. He served as a captain in the Colorado Army National Guard, and went on to become the chair of Centennial Airport and an Arapahoe County commissioner. During that time, he helped launch the campaign that saved the Littleton Courthouse.

He succeeded his longtime friend Brian Vogt as president of the South Metro Chamber, and the two were instrumental in the formation of the city of Centennial. They recently launched Common Sense Citizens, born of their personal frustration with what they call the debilitating effects of today’s extreme polarization in politics.

“Instead of sending problem-solvers and negotiators to Washington, we often send adherents and pledge-signers, people who refuse to compromise for fear that they will lose the support they need to keep a job that has become less respected and less impactful,” they write on their Meetup page.

“It is no wonder we are in a mess, one which will grind the genius of America into mediocrity.”

The two also were founding members of the Greater Littleton Youth Initiative. Brackney speaks often about how the community

Highlands Ranch High School shifting schedule

Backtracking will improve student access to teachers

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com Following Mountain Vista High School’s lead, Highlands Ranch High School announced it also will return to a more traditional class schedule in 2014-15.

The move away from a block schedule will give students less free time and more access to teachers for one-on-one help.

“Our staff approved it by 92 percent,” Principal Jerry Goings said. “It was overwhelming support.”

Mountain Vista announced a similar schedule decision earlier this month. At least three other Douglas County high schools also are considering a schedule reversion. Forecasted budget increases that will enable schools to hire more teachers are prompting the conversations.

Per-pupil funding has increased about $280 since the block schedule’s implementation in 2012-13. Nevertheless, Goings said, switching the schedule requires careful budgeting.

“It costs more money to run (the more traditional schedule) so our budget is tighter,” Goings said, “but cutting down some of the free time for our kids, making sure that when they have that time our teachers are available for academic assistance and advisement — we’re very excited about

‘Teachers are excited about it. The main reason is they think we can develop a system that’s better for kids.’

came together in those early days after the Columbine tragedy, full of passion and sorrow and ready to set aside differences.

“Even though it’s human nature to blame, we decided not to point the finger at anybody,” he said in 2012.

“We decided to focus on what we could agree on.”

Of late, Brackney has spent a lot of time on the road promoting the chamber’s “Fix the Debt” campaign.

“Decisions in Washington affect businesses outside the beltway,” Brackney wrote in a recent opinion piece.

“Congress and the president must act now … to create greater market certainty” and “put our country back on a track of fiscal sanity.”

Giving no clue as to what’s next for him, Brackney wrote that the chamber is secure in the hands of a talented staff.

“Our culture is deep and strong,” he wrote. “Our basic mission is to identify, recruit, sustain, mentor, associate and connect talent for mutual benefit and to create a stronger society. … I hope our paths cross frequently as I remain at your service, only in a different capacity.”

The Power of a

Beautiful Smile

Principal Jerry Goings what that can do for kids.”

HRHS’ 2014-15 schedule will be a modified version of the 5-of-7, socalled because it requires teachers to teach five out of seven class periods.

Most Douglas County high schools have been on the 6-of-8 schedule for the last two years. Under it, students have fewer classes per day but meet for longer, 90-minute periods than under the 5-of-7 schedule. It also required all high school teachers to teach an additional class.

“Teachers and staff and administration were all running like crazy trying to keep this going, yet the kids had all this time,” Going said. “We were trying to find a way to get them to use it effectively, but we just didn’t have time to do that.”

Some schools, like HRHS, also sacrificed the open advisement period under the 6-of-8 schedule to guard against the loss of any additional class time.

Under next year’s schedule, “Kids will not have as much free time, but the trade-out for kids is, now you have an off-period when teachers have an

off-period, so you can get help,” Goings said.

The modified schedule — similar though not identical to Mountain Vista’s proposal — still retains some of the longer block periods that allowed for deeper exploration of subjects and longer labs.

“We sort of found the best of both worlds,” Goings said. “There’s no perfect master schedule for high schools.

“The weakness is class sizes do go up a little.”

HRHS will hire about five more teachers to shift the workload and put the new schedule in place.

“Teachers are excited about it,” Goings said.

“The main reason is they think we can develop a system that’s better for kids.”

Rock Canyon High School Principal Andy Abner is gathering feedback from staff, parents and students. He expects to reach a decision in early April.

ThunderRidge and Chaparral high schools also reportedly are considering a schedule change.

HRCA approves tennis program improvements Organization can add $23,000 in net revenue with new plan, says fitness supervisor

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia. com Delegates with the Highlands Ranch Community Association approved funds for improvement efforts for the organization’s tennis program at a March 18 meeting.

Delegates approved up to $50,000 for the plan with a request to track revenue on

a monthly basis.

In the past, the organization has leased eight outdoor courts at the Lebsack Tennis Center, which is owned by the Highlands Ranch Metro District. But after 10 years of improving facilities and adding tournaments, Chad Mejia, sports and fitness supervisor for HRCA, said it’s time for the program to be moved in house.

“We want to grow the program right here at HRCA,” Mejia said during a presentation to delegates.

The lease rate at Lebsack also increased from $6,800 in 2003 to $27,700 in 2014. Mejia provided a projection, saying the organization could generate $23,000 in net reve-

nue by its own facilities with a total expense of $37,000, compared to a net revenue of $5,199 with $$99,801 in total expenses with the current Lebsack budget.

Under the improvement plan, the HRCA will utilize its own courts at the Westridge and Southridge recreation centers. Funds will go toward improvements on those courts, most importantly lighting and court resurfacing at the Westridge Recreation Center and installing shade structures at the Westridge and Southridge recreation centers, according to facility supervisor Ken Joseph.

“Our lighting is very deficient (at Westridge),” Joseph said. “We will put in

low-energy LED lighting and save 20 percent.”

Joseph said the improvements would be implemented “as soon as possible” and the organization would see a payback in 1.9 years.

“The payback will be very, very quick,” Joseph said.

The original request was for funds not to exceed $43,000, with some funding coming out of reserves and some out of the capital improvement budget. Joseph said that after the first two months of the year, the recreation budget is running ahead by about $150,000. He also cited a $900,000 surplus from 2013.

s Suicides spur alumni to act per-5K

organized on April 6 to demonstrate support for teens

ould andBy Jane Reuter n 1.9jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

uick,” Kate Muus was a 16-year-old Douglas County High School student when she lost ot toone of her friends to suicide. The Castle mingRock resident now is the mother of a 2-yearpitalold, but her heart is still with the students afterat DCHS. ecre- Four Douglas County teens were lost to boutsuicide between Jan. 31 and Feb. 11 — a rplusnumber equal to the total of teen suicides in 2013. Two of them were DCHS students.

Muus and some of her fellow alumni were moved to action by the deaths. Together, they’ve organized the DC Proud DC Strong 5K run/walk, set for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

April 6 at Butterfield Park, located in Castle Rock’s Meadows neighborhood.

“As alumni, there was this feeling that we need to help these kids,” Muus said. “This is mainly to get the community together and show support for our students.”

In addition to the run/walk, participants

will be able to talk to booth vendors representing Douglas County youth groups and activities, church groups and mental health facilities and support groups.

In addition to hosting the 5K, Muus said she and the approximately 25 others hope to mentor at-risk Douglas County youths.

“This is not something we want to be a one-time, flash-in-the-pan kind of thing,” she said. “We want to be inclusive of all the schools in Douglas County, and we want this to be continuous.

“It’s scary to think that kids feel so alone.

Our goal is to show them we all felt that, and show them what amazing things have happened since then. We don’t have much except that we want to help kids know they don’t have to go down that path, and that there is a huge community behind them.”

Registration includes a suggested donation of $35, with a minimum $1 donation.

Proceeds will benefit the Second Wind Fund, which provides low-cost counseling to children and youth who are at risk for suicide.

Robbins chosen as new school board member Military veteran expresses support for district policies

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Rich Robbins was seated as the newest member of the Douglas County Board of Education on March 25.

He was chosen on a 4-2 vote that included no discussion by the six sitting members of the school board. Judi Reynolds and Meghann Silverthorn voted against his nomination.

Robbins, interviewed by the board moments before his nomination, expressed strong support for their policies.

He has served on the District Accountability and some School Accountability committees.

“I’ve heard the challenges our parents, teachers and administrators face day in and

day out,” he said.

Robbins said he would run for the District F, Parker-area seat when his term expires in 2016.

He replaces Justin Williams, who resigned in January to spend more time with his family and who was in attendance during Robbins’ selection.

Some community members were stunned by the vote.

“It seemed to those of us sitting back there this was a done deal before you walked into the room because there was no discussion of qualifications,” said Cindy Barnard, a parent and plaintiff in a lawsuit against the district’s voucher program.

“I would loved to have known … directors Reynolds and Silverthorn, what your thoughts were. I’m speechless that we do not see the work of the board done in public.”

Gary Colley, among six finalists interviewed for the post, offered Robbins a suggestion.

“Rich, when you announced you’re totally behind the school board, I would hope this wouldn’t be an automatic `yes’ vote,

that there would be some true discussion about what’s right for the community,” he said.

Retired after 20 years in the Air Force, Robbins said he’d “like the opportunity to continue fighting” for children, adding he feels schools must prepare students “in order for America to continue to lead the world in so many important dimensions.”

He affirmed his belief in pay for performance.

“I strongly believe we need to pay great teachers compensation that is worthy of their excellence, and send a strong financial signal to those teachers who are underperforming,” he said.

Robbins acknowledged there is room for improvement, saying, “No organization would be worth its salt if it becomes complacent.”

Other finalists included Colley, Shaylee Holland, Dilpreet Jammu, David Ray and Franceen Thompson.

Long discussion reduces general comment, adds topic-specific comments

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Douglas County Board of Education passed a resolution March 25 that sharply reduces time allotted for general public comment, but leaves discretion to the board president to allow more.

The proposal garnered objection from some community and board members during its first reading March 18, and a “no” vote from board member Meghann Silverthorn March 25.

The new policy, intended for review at the school year’s end, is described as an effort to both gain more input on specific actions and expedite the board’s business. It focuses the bulk of public comment on agenda items instead of open comments — many of which are critical of the board.

Public comment will now be allowed only during a five-minute, oneminute-per-speaker period at each meeting’s end for suggested future agenda topics and general comments.

Speakers have been allowed three minutes each during a 30-minute period designated for general public comment. They have not previously been allowed to comment during discussions on action items.

Board members agreed March 25 to give the school board president, Kevin Larsen, discretion to expand the new, five-minute general comment period “as circumstances require,” said attorney Rob Ross.

Silverthorn voted against the policy, saying she opposes any effort to restrict public comment.

“The current proposal is more restrictive than I would like to see,” Silverthorn said. “I appreciate the effort to promote efficiency. However, I do think there are instances in the past where people have brought concerns and ideas to us not necessarily listed on our agenda, but things we should know about. I appreciate that about our public.

“I’m not comfortable with limiting public comment. That’s really what this comes down to.”

During a lengthy board discussion, board member Judi Reynolds also expressed reservations about the change, but voted for it.

Reynolds questioned the need for a time limit.

“The times we have extended pe-

riod of public comment are relatively small and far between,” she said. “I’m not comfortable with setting any time (limit). I’m far more comfortable with time that allows discretion of the president.”

Other board members said the change will be offset by the new monthly Board Unplugged meetings, designed as a less formal way for the board and community members to communicate. They pointed to several other avenues, including email, available for direct communication with the board.

The new policy “advances the efficiency of the people’s business,” board member Craig Richardson said. “So we are getting the input and the additional data and information we need to make decisions soundly, effectively and efficiently.

“There will be other opportunities for completely open-ended comment by the public.”

Board member Jim Geddes said the goal is to move the meeting forward.

“The meeting has to end somewhere around the time it’s supposed to end, in deference to everybody in the room,” he said.

The next Board Unplugged meeting is at 6 p.m. April 1 at Mesa Middle School in Castle Rock.

opinions / yours and ours

Yesterdays are just that, yesterdays It has been a while since I shared a quote or thought from my mentor Zig Ziglar, and as I prepared for this column I was reminded of something that Mr. Ziglar used to remind us of all the time. He would say, “We cannot make any more yesterdays, but we can make all of the brand-new tomorrows that we possibly can.”

I was thinking of this because I found myself in the “woulda, coulda, shoulda” trap as I thought about the ways I handled things over the past 12 months, opportunities I might have missed, activities I wanted to pursue and challenges I needed to overcome.

Have you ever been there? We ask ourselves things like, “Why didn’t I say this?” or “Why didn’t I do that?” “Life would be so different if I only did things differently.”

And many other such statements and examples.

Zig used to also say: “Failure is an event and not a person. Yesterday really did end last night.” So when we can separate our-

selves from what we could have or should have done or said, and realize that tomorrow is a brand-new day, our entire view of the world would shift. Optimism and hope would replace our regret and fear.

Tomorrow is filled with promise. Tomorrow is filled with hope. We are in control of how we see our future and what we choose to do in the pursuit of our life goals, our careers, our relationships and our health.

Tomorrow has distanced itself from yesterday when it comes to our errors, poor

judgment and mistakes. Tomorrow offers encouragement and builds upon the successes of our yesterdays. When was the last time we took an inventory of all of the great accomplishments, achievements, and goals where we exceeded our own expectations? Looking at past successes builds confidence and serves as a launching point for our next journey and path forward to greatness.

So we talked about yesterdays, and we talked about tomorrow. What about today? What can we do today to remember or successes of yesterday, learn from and overcome our prior mistakes, and ensure that our tomorrows are filled with hope, encouragement, opportunity and achievement? Mr. Ziglar talked about the fact that we cannot create any more new yesterdays, but we can create all of the brand-new tomorrows of our life. And it starts with today. We can actually create the next brand-new 30 seconds of our lives, the next brand-new five minutes, the next new

hour, and all we have to do is start.

We can start to let go of the past or build upon our past, and the choice is ours. Today, as you read this column, think about where you are. Think about your own story — are we still living in the glory days or many years ago? Are we living and feeling the hurts of yesterday? Or are we placing our stake in the ground today and committing to our future, the best and brightest future that is waiting for each and every one of us?

Life is a series of choices. Are you choosing to live or learn from your yesterdays?

Are you planning today for your successes of tomorrow? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we plan today for greatness tomorrow, it really will be a better than good week.

letters to the editor Survey needs to reach parents, non-parents

‘No problem’ really means ‘no thought’ I have a problem with “No problem.”

I have a big problem with “No problem.”

The only time someone says “No problem” is when there is a problem.

The same goes for “No worries.” I’d like to get rid of both of them. They mean nothing, and are generally said as a casual dismissal. Let’s try to think of something else to say when something unexpected happens, or when something doesn’t go on exactly as planned or when something has been done on someone’s behalf.

Almost anything would be better. Try these. Instead of “No problem,” perhaps you could say “A wet bird does not fly at night,” or something else that is vaguely Zen. Instead of “No worries,” how about “Breathe deep the gathering gloom”? Anything but a generic cliche.

I am having a big problem. Arrangements were made for someone to be here on Monday to pick up some extra large paintings, drive them into Denver, and install them in three new showhomes.

At the last minute the project coordinator asked if we could reschedule everything for Wednesday. I said possibly not. Then we were able to agree on Tuesday.

In the midst of all of this, of emails and phone calls, trying to reach the outfit that will pick up the paintings, and the installer, she said, “No problem.”

I let out a yelp. I closed my eyes. I drank from Smitty’s water dish. I ordered pillow cases I don’t need. I vacuumed the parrot. I booked a flight to Ithaca.

I ate macaroni without cheese.

I listened to “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” on repeat.

I watched Bill O’Reilly and kept a straight face.

I don’t have any original thoughts. Just when I think I do, I will hear something or read something that matches identically with my thinking. Someone somewhere wrote about vacuuming his parrot today.

I decided to do a “No problem” search, and sure enough, others have the same dislike for it.

The New York Observer columnist Kristen Richardson wrote, “I’ve come to believe that `No problem’ is a seemingly benign expression run terribly amok, to the point of destroying what vestiges of civility we

have left here at the beginning of the 21st century.”

Richardson did a search too, and called Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. Tannen said that a general casualization of language is responsible for the expression.

Tannen said that “No problem” is dismissive, overcasual and makes light of a favor.

Then I found out that “No worries” is the preferred expression in Australia and New Zealand.

Language takes millions of hits every day. They are called “tweets.” I have yet to tweet. I plan to get out of here without ever tweeting. I am not going to waggle a finger, but the truncation of language into some kind of abbreviated drivel is for the unwashed.

I am glad that Charles Dickens didn’t live to hear “No problem.” Oliver goes up and asks for more? And the master says, “No problem”? There’s no chance of that.

Dickens manicured his thoughts and expressions, and I will never let that go, or give in to what goes around simply out of carelessness.

Am I a language snob? Absolutamente.

Muttering fractions of words and exhaling generic expressions is fine when you are lifting a car off of a teenager. The rest of the time I want to hear wording that follows thought and does not precede it, or is thrown at a situation because it has been before, and it’s handy.

There’s someone who is stationed at the self-checkout at my store. Without looking up, she invariably says, “Have a good one.”

I take that as a question, and always say, “I do.”

Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Efforts by some members of the Douglas County School District are encouraging the school board to renew a community survey. If the intent is to demonstrate displeasure on the direction the school board is going with their reform efforts, reaching all stakeholders needs to be done or data collected will not be valid.

The majority of registered voters in the district (70 percent) are non-parent taxpayers and via last election those 70 percent may have had an impact on the outcome.

The board should encourage individual schools to do a survey that would be sitespecific seeking direction on their needs. A few questions could be added to the survey concerning overall perception about reform efforts by the district.

Individual schools need to seek input from the entire school community and not just parents. Schools send kids into the street with their fundraisers and having surveys delivered door to door in their neighborhood that could be mailed back might be one approach to reach all stakeholders.

I don’t agree with special interest groups controlling policy makers in this country, but the reality is that this is a common practice at the national level and it has hit the local level.

Even though the last election wasn’t won by an overwhelming majority of support, we are still a democratic society where majority rules and the vocal minority needs to accept the results and move on.

This divided community is impacting the education of the kids and both sides

need to find common ground to be a positive influence in educating our youth.

DCSD, Gardner lead way in energy efficiency

It seems like energy issues are at the heart of every discussion these days.

Recently, Douglas County School District teachers and students got to host Congressman Cory Gardner to discuss the district’s energy efficiency efforts.

With the help of local energy services company McKinstry, DCSD has become a national leader in measuring and reducing its energy consumption — from classroom lighting to our heating and cooling systems. While efforts have been financed through the millions in savings we have realized, they have been led by students and teachers engaging in energy issues through hands-on learning.

This issue has national implications, and if every school district in the country implemented similar measures it could save over $1 billion in energy costs and prevent untold pollution.

It sounds like Congressman Gardner has been engaged in energy efficiency issues in Congress as well, with his Energy Caucus Cen helping the federal government measure Lon and reduce its energy waste.

We believe these efforts represent win- By J wins for government, the private sector jreut and taxpayers, since as Mr. Gardner stated, “the cheapest energy is the energy we don’t An use.” in th Lee Smitgered Sustainability manager, Douglas Countyand l School District Th

Four vie for one Metro District seat Three challengers face incumbent Carolyn Schierholz in south central district

By Hannah Garcia

hgarcia@coloradocommunitymedia. com With the election just more than a month away, four candidates are seeking the Highlands Ranch Metro District’s south central seat, in the race with the most candidates.

Incumbent Carolyn Schierholz is facing three challengers: Kevin Betts, Parrish Salyers and Anthony Yarosh.

Challenger Philip Cullen and incumbent Nick Robinson are facing off for the northwest district seat. The other three races are uncontested, with current board chairman Rick Owens in the west central district, newcomer Renee Anderson in the southwest and incumbent Allen Dreher in the southeast.

This week, the Highlands Ranch Herald is profiling the candidates for the south central election.

Kevin Betts

Seeking his first public position, Betts heckmoved to Highlands Ranch around 10 years arkerago after coming from Arizona. He is married with three sons.

“My family and I live in cy the area (and) utilize a lot e of the services,” Betts said. ict “I thought it would be good to give back to the community in this way.”

Betts is a branch manager of Roto Rooter. He es e a spent 17 years as the chief Betts cing operating officer of a holding company that develng oped franchises like Fitness Together and ced Elements Therapeutic Massage. He also e re- volunteers through his church, he said. and ough

“(I have) no formal government experience,” he said.

Betts said he had no specific agenda going into the election, but was prepared to be a “support arm” for the board. Betts has a particular interest in the recreation programs that HRMD offers.

“We take great advantage of those programs and I’m appreciative that they’re available,” he said. “I’d be interesting in helping to grow that.”

Betts said he felt a fresh perspective might be good for the board.

“I was reading about some of the candidates, and it seems like they’ve all been doing this for a long time,” Betts said. “My main goal is to come in and be supportive and help with decisions that need to be made and will affect the community.”

Parrish A. Salyers

Salyers comes from 25 years in the private sector for his first run at any type of public position.

“This is the first time I’ve gone into local politics,” Salyers said in a phone interview. “I want to give back to my community. My kids are growing up, so I have a little more time.

I want to be a true public servant.”

Salyers, married with three children, has lived in Highlands Ranch since Salyers 1996 and said he “loves the community.”

He has experience managing budgets similar in amount to the metro district, he said. He is currently director of business development for Uintah Engineering & Surveying Inc. He’s also worked in logistics and real estate, he said.

Salyers said he would take a “big picture” approach to governing if he is elected. Like other candidates, he said the debt reduction coming in 2018 for the metro district

is “wonderful.”

The candidate also said he would like to get more feedback from the community, including doing surveys with more regularity.

Salyers also expressed concern about the area’s transition from a growing space to a stabilized community.

“I don’t really have an agenda, per se,” Parrish said when asked why he decided to run. “My view is that it’s good to have turnover and inject new blood into these boards for new ideas and energy. I don’t have anything critical to say about the current board.”

First elected in 2006, Schierholz claims a laundry list of accomplishments in her eight years on the metro district board.

“I hope that my track record speaks for itself,” she said, citing among those accomplishments working with the board through the recession to manage the budget. “We were able to deliver service without a noticeable drop in quality.”

Schierholz also acts as Schierholz the board’s liaison with the metro district’s fire service partners. On top of requesting regular reports to assess delivery, attending partner meetings and recommending doing a study of assessment of services, she said she wants to develop a strategic plan for fire and emergency medical services.

“Basically, I want to make sure we’re getting what we pay for,” she said. “For the long range, the metro district needs to work on transitioning from building an infrastructure to a maintenance (and) improvement mode.”

For the next term, Schierholz said she wants to continue monitoring fire and emergency services for cost-effectiveness in “a time of changes to the medical envi-

ronment,” specifically referencing the Affordable Care Act. She also wants to look at recreation options and finish building parks as laid out in the long-term plan.

Schierholz moved to Highlands Ranch with her husband and daughter in 2001.

She works as a part-time IT consultant after 15 years in the field.

Anthony Yarosh

Yarosh, who has lived in Highlands Ranch for 12 years, said he is running for the metro district board of directors to “mix it up.”

“As you get older, you want to get involved instead of complaining all the time,” Yarosh said. “In any type of service, it’s good to have people from different Yarosh backgrounds.”

Originally from New Jersey, Yarosh is married with two sons. He has a doctorate from Rutgers in materials engineering and has worked on all sides of the business, from business management to overseeing the implementation of new plants, he said. He is currently the project manager for an equipment manufacturer in south Denver.

Yarosh said he would like to focus on the metro district’s finances to make sure the organization stays financially stable.

“It’s just like home,” he said. “If you have an extra $100 in your pocket, are you going to spend it or say, `maybe I don’t need that’?”

Like Betts, Yarosh said he isn’t coming into the race with a specific agenda. He also said he would like to put financial decisions up for popular referendum. He said he would probably only serve one term, citing the need for “new blood.”

“Good to come in with no preconceptions, a blank slate,” he said. “I’d actually like to see what other people’s ideas are.”

Co-workers’ argument leads to stabbing

in the kitchen of the Lone Tree Qdoba trigSmitgered a stabbing that hospitalized one man untyand led to the other’s arrest. strict Thomas Javon Alston, 22, of Centennial, was held on charges of first-degree assault, criminal attempt and attempted second-degree murder following the 8 p.m. March 20 incident.

The latter charge stems from an officer’s belief that Alston “attempted to cause the death of” his 24-yearold co-worker, according to an arrest affidavit filed with the district attorney’s Alston office.

The co-worker, Francisco Arredondo, 24, was transported to Littleton Hospital with stab wounds to his right side. His current condition is unknown.

Alston bonded out of jail March 24. He had been held on $40,000 bond.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office plans to file formal charges March 26.

A manager at the store told police he heard the two men arguing in the kitchen, and that Alston was being urged to cook chicken more quickly. Arredondo went back to the line to take a food order.

Both the manager and a customer ordering food said they saw Alston walk up behind Arredondo with a knife in his hand, stab him and chase Arredondo toward the kitchen, still holding the knife. The manager took the 10-inch knife from Alston and asked Alston to leave the restaurant, according to the report.

A police officer caught up to Alston in a nearby parking lot and ordered him to the ground, according to the report.

The Qdoba manager said Alston and Arredondo apparently had no previous problems, and did not know why Alston stabbed Arredondo.

The report states that when the officer who initially examined Arredondo moved the victim’s arm, “he began to lose consciousness” and was “gasping for air.”

Though Alston said he had smoked marijuana earlier in the day, an evaluation showed no evidence Alston was under the influence of marijuana or other drugs at the time of the attack.

CRIME BRIEFS Broken window at defunct business

While on patrol, a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy found a broken doublepane window at a business that appeared to be closed on March 15 at the 2600 block of 2680 E. County Line Road. The other windows were blacked out and the establishment appeared to be out of business, according to the deputy’s report.

The deputy found broken glass on concrete beneath the window and located a rock on the ground about 15 feet away.

There was no damage found to surrounding businesses. The case was deactivated due to a lack of leads, and the deputy said he could not find a phone number for the business owner.

self involved in a possible scam when she tried to cash a check from a new employer that turned out to be fake. When deputies responded to her report on March 17, she said she was contacted through Career Builder and offered a job as a personal assistant for a company called Bloomic Promotions Inc. Someone purporting to be from the company sent her a check for $5,650.50 to purchase office furniture, and when she tried to cash it her bank told her that it was not a real check. The return address was from Vancouver, according to the crime report. The woman did not incur any losses and the report was sent to the financial crimes unit.

Scam discovered surrounding fake check

Garage burglarized during move

A Highlands Ranch woman found her-

A Highlands Ranch family was burglar-

ized after accidentally leaving the garage door open to their home while moving on Jan. 27, although the victim reported the crime on March 18. The family was moving out of a home on the 9600 block of Timber Hawk Circle. They left around 4 p.m. and left the garage door open and inside was furniture, baseball equipment, some packed boxes and a small plastic shed with garden tools. More than two hours later when they returned, the garage was empty except for trash and empty boxes.

The family looked around and spoke with neighbors. No one saw anything, according to the victim. The family did not report the crime right away because the victim said she wanted to inventory the missing items and had been living out of boxes since the move. On Feb. 13, the victim said she found some of the stolen

items at a sale at the Goodwill store at County Line Road and Broadway. The store would not give the items back or information on who donated them, the victim said.

The value of the stolen items totals around $20,000. There is no suspect information or workable leads, so the case was deactivated.

Money stolen from discount salon

A manager reported a burglary at the Great Clips on Wildcat Reserve Parkway on March 19.

While counting money, she found that $50 was missing from the safe. An employee who closed the night before did not lock the safe, and a floor cleaning company worked in the store after hours. All of the doors were locked and there were no signs of forced entry the next day.

Under-21 smoking ban fails in committee Opponents argued that adults should make own decisions

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Legislation that would have banned the sale of cigarettes to people younger than 21 died in a House committee on March 19.

The bill received support from those who believe that smoking is a societal ill and who want to see more done to keep cigarettes away from youths.

But the effort fell one vote short of passing the House Finance Committee, on the heels of testimony from witnesses and comments from lawmakers who felt the legislation went too far in dictating decisions that adults usually make for themselves.

“I come down on the side of treating 18to 20-year-olds as adults,” said Rep. Daniel Kagan of Cherry Hills Village, the only Democrat to vote against the bill.

Now, it’s legal for peope who are age 18 to purchase cigarettes. The bill would have raised that age to 21, although it would have

provided a grandfather clause for people who are 18 when the law would have gone into effect.

In defending the effort, Rep. Beth McCann, D-Denver, a bill sponsor, cited testimony from anti-smoking advocates, who said that smoking-related illnesses cost governments millions of dollars in health spending each year.

“The harm is not to just those who smoke; the harm is to all of us,” McCann said.

McCann also said that “the military is taking a pretty aggressive view of smoking,” telling committee members that armed forces branches have introduced antismoking programs aimed at curbing soldiers’ smoking habits.

But Brian Soule, a combat veteran from Colorado Springs, told the committee that he found the bill “insulting.” Soule cited the names of soldiers who became war heroes before the age of 21 and asked why lawmakers would question their ability to make decisions for themselves.

Education-funding efforts advance Pair of bills would total $300 million for public schools

By Vic Vela

‘This is our very best attempt at making sure we start making progress from some very difficult financial

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s long-underfunded public school system would receive an additional $300 million in funding and increased perpupil dollars, under a pair of school finance bills that cleared a House committee on March 19.

However, the battle over how those dollars are to be managed — and whether the funding will be enough to appease vocal superintendents — is just getting started, as the education budget process began to play out at the Capitol last week.

This year’s K-12 school funding efforts seek to provide a badly needed infusion of resources to school districts across the state, through a bipartisan education funding bill and the annual School Finance Act. “This is our very best attempt at making sure we start making progress from some very difficult financial years,” Rep. John Buckner, D-Aurora, told the House Education committee.

The School Finance Act would increase per-pupil funding by 2.8 percent, which would allow that funding to keep up with

good decisions about what’s good for them is pretty insulting to a lot of great Americans,” Soule said.

Others who testified in opposition to the bill said that businesses, particularly convenience stores, would be hurt by the legislation.

State revenue would also be affected.

The bill’s fiscal note indicates that the state would have lost about $925,000 in tobacco

years.’

Rep. John Buckner, D-Aurora inflation. The bill also provides $17 million for preschool and full-day kindergarten.

Immediately before the bill received committee approval, the same committee gave the go-ahead for a separate, bipartisan school funding measure.

The Student Success Act would provide millions of dollars for school programs and would replace some of the education funding that had been a casualty of budget cuts in recent years.

The bill — which received House sponsorship from Reps. Millie Hamner, DDillon, and Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock — would give schools $200 million in additional funding. That sum includes $20 million for reading programs and about $30 million for programs designed for English language learners.

“They are some of our most vulnerable and neediest populations of students,” tax revenue for the 2014-15 fiscal year, but the revenue losses for the following fiscal year would have been about $3.7 million.

But money isn’t the only thing, argued bill supporters.

“There would be a short-term fiscal hit, but in the long term, it will help us,” said Rep. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette.

Kagan joined all six Republicans on the House Finance Committee to vote against the bill, many of whom made similar arguments against the legislation.

“We’re creating a large case to where most 19- and 20-year-olds don’t feel like they’re actual adults for a myriad of reasons,” said Rep. Kevin Priola, R-Henderson.

Hamner said.

The money would also buy down the socalled education funding “negative factor” —recession era education funding cuts that total about $1 billion. The bill would provide $100 million for the purpose of backfilling some of those cuts.

The bills are a way for the Legislature to provide more money for schools on the heels of last year’s failed school finance tax measure, which voters soundly rejected in November.

An increase in education funding is a top priority for lawmakers and Gov. John Hickenlooper, given the state’s upbeat economic forecast, which was recently presented to the Joint Budget Committee.

But this year’s K-12 funding efforts are not going to please everyone.

School superintendents and other education advocates are asking for more mon-

ey for the negative factor buydown than what the Legislature expects to provide.

School district leaders have also voiced displeasure over an area in the Student Success Act that seeks to change how pupils are counted for the purposes of a school’s official enrollment — something that districts say is a waste of time and money.

And there have been arguments over school districts’ lack of autonomy over how the money will be spent. The funding will have stings attached, which doesn’t please opponents who say that the Legislature shouldn’t dictate how districts use that money.

“I’d like to restore the negative factor to the best of our ability with no strings attached,” said Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, the only member of the House Education Committee to vote against the Student Success Act. “I think that has been a clear message from our school districts.”

Hamner acknowledged those concerns, but said that it’s important to realize that the state can’t get in over its head.

“We just have to balance all these needs with what the state budget can really commit to over a period of years,” she said.

The bills now head to the House Appropriations Committee, prior to receiving full votes in the House.

LEGISLATIVE BRIEFS Emergency pet care bill signed

Gov. John Hickenlooper on March 20 signed a bill into law that will allow emergency medical providers to provide medical care to house cats and dogs.

Medical personnel who respond to emergency calls to homes were prohibited from providing care to domestic animals prior to the bill signing. Although EMTs provide that assistance anyway, they risked litigation by the pet’s owner if something happened to the animal.

The bill was sponsored by Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, and Denver Democratic Reps. Beth McCann and Lois Court.

Felony DUI legislation moves forward

A bill that would create a felony DUI penalty in Colorado cleared it’s first legislative hurdle on March 18.

House Bill 1036 would let prosecutors charge a driver’s third DUI in seven years or any fourth DUI as a felony.

Right now, drivers only face misdemeanor penalties when driving drunk, no matter how many times they are charged.

Calm After the Storm

Colorado is one of only six states that don’t have a felony DUI on the books.

The bill — which is sponsored by Republican Reps. Mark Waller of Colorado Springs and Lori Saine of Firestone — passed the House Judiciary Committee with unanimous support.

A similar effort failed last year.

Bill would allow armed guards in charters

Charter schools would be allowed to hire armed security guards, under a bill that received unanimous support in the House on March 21.

House Bill 1291 — which is sponsored

by Reps. Mike McLachlan, D-Durango and Stephen Humphrey, R-Severance — allows charter school guards to carry concealed weapons on campus, so long as they have a valid permit.

The bill is a re-crafted version of a Humphrey-sponsored bill that died earlier this year, which would have allowed any school employee with a concealed carry permit to bring a gun on campus.

Coffman talks small business at chamber Representative brings House committee chair

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman visited the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce March 19 and brought with him Rep. Sam Graves, of Missouri, chairman of the House Small Business Committee.

The two Republican lawmakers faced a fairly friendly crowd of local, invited entrepreneurs. In a roundtable format, they listened to concerns and suggestions that ranged from the difficulty applying for government contracts to Obamacare.

Andrew Graham, president of Clinic Services and an independent candidate for state representative, said his company has been waiting for its application to bid on government jobs to be approved for five years.

“I get the hurry-up-andwait approach, but we’re not a sit-on-our-hands kind of crowd,” he said. “The help I need is, how do I get the job?”

Graves said that often several projects are bundled into one contract, making it just too big for smaller companies to handle. He’s introduced two bills that he hopes will level the playing field. He says the Greater Opportunities for Small Business Act of 2014 will

by Jennifer Smith increase the goal of giving small businesses 23 percent of the contracts to 25 percent, and the Contracting Data and Bundling Accountability Act of 2014 will bring more transparency to bundled contracts.

“I believe a lot of these small businesses can do a lot of these projects more efficiently,” said Graves.

Coffman wondered about the effect the Affordable Care Act might be having on the group, though most of them employ fewer than 50 people and are therefore not subject to new requirements.

“If there is a constant in the discussion, it’s health care,” said Brian Olson, owner of Conversation Starters media consulting firm.

He has no employees, but said he works in a world of freelancers who provide services for each other.

The requirement to have insurance has many of them bewildered and frightened about the cost, he said.

Graham said his company has always offered health insurance, and he doesn’t believe the government should tell him how to do what he was already doing.

“As a human being, I would like to see a decoupling of health insurance from employment,” he said.

Jeff Holwell, the chamber’s chief operating officer, said surveys show about 90 percent of the companies in the south-metro area are happy to be here.

“The 10 percent that aren’t happy, it’s usually because of a regulatory challenge,” he said, most often local building codes but sometimes obscure federal regulations.

“We’d like to inject a little more common sense into the regulatory environ-

He points to ongoing but so-far failed efforts to require congressional approval of rules and regulations created by executive order or administrative policy that would have a national economic impact of $100 million or more.

He points to cap and trade as an example of failed legislation that he says the administration is implementing piecemeal via regulations. The only defense, he says, is to try to defund them, leaving the rule in place but with no money to implement or enforce it.

“But that’s a very poor way to run government,” he said. “How do businesses know whether to comply?”

John Brackney, president of the chamber, implored the congressmen to protect all types of energy production and the aerospace CN industry, which he said is # more concentrated in the REG. 34.60 south-metro region than • Rack of Baby Back Ribs anywhere else in the counSAVE $11 • 1/2 BBQ Chicken WITH THIS COUPON try.

quite a sight Foxfield church’s glass offers astonishing art

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com To fully appreciate the newly installed stained-glass windows at Our Lady of Loreto Catholic Church in Foxfield, one should visit at various times of day and in different seasons, when the changing sunlight will create new effects.

Officially blessed at a Mass on March 16, the 16 recently installed works of art were created by artist Scott Parsons and fabricated by the century-old Derix Glasstudios in Taunusstein, Germany. They are collectively called The Heavenly Jerusalem Windows and each has a distinctive story to tell the viewer.

Installation of the round and rectangular windows in the handsome Romanesquestyle church was made possible by an anon-

if you go Our Lady of Loreto Catholic Parish is located at 18000 E. Arapahoe Road in Foxfield — just east of Parker Road. We were told that because the church also operates a school, the three bronze sanctuary doors are locked during the week, but a large door labeled Main Door is open and an attendant is there, who can grant admission to the sanctuary. It is open for Masses, with times listed on the website. 303-766-3800, OurLadyofLoreto.org. ymous donor, according to Msgr. Edward Buelt, who founded the parish and worked closely with the artist on the spiritual symbolism in each individual design.

The windows are stained glass with colors painted on, versus the leaded glass windows we are accustomed to. They are filled with dazzling colors and occasional touches of gold, applied to the hand-blown glass panels in patterns that include both representational images and more sweeping abstract images. Angels, the elements, sunlight and vegetation — all imaginatively presented.

Parsons, who was born in Littleton, has an MFA in painting from CU-Boulder — with graduate work in archaeology — and is chairman of the art department at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D. He has been creating public art, including liturgical art, for 20 years. Several years ago, Parsons, a Lutheran, worked with the Derix studios on stained glass windows for Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls. In Denver, he is represented by the prestigious William Havu Gallery and has work installed at the National Cable Television Center and Museum at the University of Denver and at

“Serephim” window from the “Angels in Festive Garb” series at Our Lady of Loreto Church. The word means “the burning ones” and shows flames. It is designed by Scott Larson.

“Spring” window, just installed at Our Lady of Loreto Church, is designed by Scott Larson. One can see crystal waters, a Tree of Life, pomegranate, cherry, palm frond. locations across the nation and in Canada.

Our Lady of Loreto’s western facade is inspired by the Basilica of St. Ambrose in Milan, Italy. The eight-sided dome has five circular windows supported by laminated red oak pillars, which represent trees. The central, east-facing window depicts the Lamb of God, with blood flowing from the pierced heart and clear blue water. Alpha and Omega symbols are copied from Botticini’s “Assumption of the Virgin,” seen in Washington’s National Galleries, according to an explanation by Msgr. Buelt on the church website, where images of all the windows can be seen.

Round windows symbolizing each season are next on each side, and opposite the lamb is The Celestial Denver window, which brings the series home to its location. A columbine (an ancient symbol of the Holy Spirit) is in the center, backed by an image of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and mountain peaks, with an image of Red Rocks Amphitheatre to the side.

Ten clerestory windows portray God’s nine ranks of angels and one dedicated to St. Michael, Prince of Angels, according to Msgr. Buelt’s text. Each has its distinctive colors and symbolism: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, Angels and St. Michael, the Archangel.

The dramatic images are swirling and abstract representations of spiritual beings.

Their interpretation is based on theological work of St. Thomas Aquinas, according to a story in the Denver Catholic Register, saying he cautioned against representing angels in human form. The artist said they are represented by breath, wind, fire and water.

We would urge art lovers, regardless of religious affiliation, to see these really unique examples of liturgical art—made for the 21st century.

Mountain Vista senior receives press honor Co-editor named Colorado student journalist of year

By Jane Reuter

Award-winning Mountain Vista High School student Taylor Blatchford, left, works on an article in the school’s journalism classroom. Courtesy photo

MVHS, Blatchford said she’s been able to experience a wide variety of journalism, including photography, web and print design. She’s most proud of a multi-element piece compiled in the wake of December’s Arapahoe High School shooting that included comments from MVHS students connected to the incident.

“It was a challenge to cover that in a good way,” she said. “It wasn’t my longest piece, but I was proud of how it turned out.”

Newton had strong praise for Blatchford.

“Taylor is one of the very best student-journalists I’ve ever had in 29 years of advising student media,” Newton said. “Her skills are solid, she works harder than anyone and, most importantly, she has a fearless approach to gathering information. She sees opportunities and takes them. She challenges herself. She is quite deserving of this recognition and award.”

Mountain Vista High School’s journalism program continues to gain recognition.

Senior Taylor Blatchford, coeditor of the program, was named Colorado High School Student Journalist of the Year by the Colorado High School Press Association. She also won the 2014 Dorothy Greer scholarship.

Taylor now will represent the state at April’s Journalism Education Association National Student Journalist of the Year competition, held in San Diego as part of the National High School Journalism Convention.

“It’s been a pretty special year for sure,” said Blatchford.

The school’s Eagle Eye newsmagazine earned the 2013 Pacemaker Award from the National Scholastic Press Association. And its adviser, Mark Newton, last month earned an Apple Award from the Douglas County School District for his work with the student journalists.

“I think I’ve been lucky to have all these different experiences and be in such an amazing program,” Blatchford said.

Unlike most of her fellow journalism students, Blatchford plans a career in the field.

“It’s something I think I could never get tired of doing because it’s different every single day,” she said.

“The possibility for telling so many different people’s stories just fascinates me.

“By the time I’m getting an actual job in journalism, who knows what new forms of media will be available to tell those stories?”

Jaguars off to stellar start

been riety otogShe’s ment f Dehool ments ectedRock

Canyon’s Chris Givin using arm, bat to propel team

r that asn’tBy Jim Benton roudjbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.

com

e for

Junior Chris Givin made his first start for bestthe Rock Canyon varsity baseball team and hadit was unforgettable. dent Givin, the Jaguars’ shortstop, will be skillsgiven some starting assignments on the thanmound this season after making a few relief antly,appearances during the 2013 season. h to He pitched well in his three-inning deseesbut as a starter in a 16-2, five-inning romp . Sheover Rampart on March 21 in a non-league quitegame played at Rock Canyon. and However, what made it more remarkable was the Jaguars’ 15-run second inning.

Givin allowed one unearned run, struck out four and surrendered two hits. One was an infield hit and the other a bloop single that fell between second baseman Daryl Myers and right fielder Nick Nelson.

“I was ready to finally get a start,” said Givin. “I was excited. I definitely felt good out there on the mound.”

And, Givin spent a lot of the second inning keeping his arm loose in the dugout as Rock Canyon overcame a 1-0 deficit by sending 19 batters to the plate.

Rock Canyon scored 15 runs after two batters were retired and collected eight hits, walked three times and watched two batters get hit by pitches during the uprising.

Givin, Rock Canyon’s leadoff hitter, drove in two runs with a single and a third run in the second inning when he was hit by a pitch.

“It was unbelievable,” Givin said. “The runs just kept coming and coming and we kept getting on base. It was a crazy inning and definitely the biggest one I’ve ever being a part of.”

Rock Canyon junior Chris Givin made his first varsity start March 21 and allowed just two hits in three innings. He helped his own cause at the plate with three RBI in a 15-run second inning as the Jaguars pounded Rampart 16-2. Photo by Jim Benton First-year Rock Canyon coach Tyler Munro inserted his reserves in the bottom of the third and used two other pitchers besides Givin as the Jaguars improved their record to 4-1 before taking a week off for spring break.

“The last couple games we had been hitting the ball hard,” pointed out Munro.

“We’ve been waiting for one inning to explode. I have a big team and felt fortunate to get all those guys in.

“We’re still trying to figure out who we are as a team. As coaches, these kids are all

new to us. We’re 4-1 but we’re not satisfied.

I’m new to these kids and I’m putting kids out there. There are tough decisions on my part.”

Rock Canyon, which started a lineup with three seniors, three juniors and three sophomores against Rampart, resumes its schedule April 1 with a game at Pomona.

After five games, the Jaguars are hitting .378 as a team, led by sophomore Trevor Howard’s .545 batting average. Josh White leads the team with nine hits and is hitting .500 and Givin’s eight RBIs is tops on the

squad.

Eleven different pitchers have been used by the Rock Canyon coaching staff this season, with senior Christian Myers logging eight innings with a 1.75 ERA and junior Bryce Dietz compiling a 1.17 ERA in six innings pitched.

“I feel like this year is our year,” said Givin.

“We have so many seniors that can do so much for our team. I just think this is the year. If we are going to do something, it’s going to be this year.”

Sophomore sensation boasts special skills Mountain Vista’s Mallory Pugh one of nation’s best on the pitch

The future of U.S. women’s soccer is on display this spring during Mountain Vista matches.

Sophomore Mallory Pugh is a standout for the Golden Eagles, but she’s also the youngest player on the USA Under-20 national women’s team.

“For a 15-year-old to be doing that is pretty special,” said Mountain Vista coach Theresa Echtermeyer. “She’s not just a top player in Colorado, she’s a top player in the country.

“She loves playing for her school and loves playing with these girls. She’s a very, very special player. When she’s here, we’re very happy to have her with us. She helps lead the team and is a great goal scorer with amazing skill and pace.”

Pugh, who has national team commitments in April and May, will miss half of the Golden Eagles games but is concentrating while at home to help Mountain Vista defend its Class 5A state championship.

“I hope to just help my team out as much as I can and be a huge impact on and off the field and just help the leadership and lead players who maybe don’t have as much confidence,” said Pugh.

“I feel like I’m a player that impacts the game, leads people with how I play, and I just like to help people out on and off the field.”

Pugh, who had three of the five goals for top-ranked Mountain Vista in a 5-0 win over ThunderRidge on March 19, played last year on the USA Under-17 team. She has a scar that looks like a ghost on her forehead, enjoys singing and would like to learn to surf.

And she hasn’t been daunted playing

against international competition.

“Being the youngest on the national team is a really cool opportunity,” said Pugh. “It’s really cool to learn from the older players. Going in it was really intimidating but the girls are really nice and they helped me be comfortable and eventually just play my game.”

When Pugh plays, she is an influence.

“The thing with Mal is she has such great presence on the field,” said Echtermeyer.

“The thing I hope for her and us is that she can help make everybody else around her better and at the same time improve every minute she is on the pitch whether she’s on her high school team, club or national team and she’s enjoying it.”

In the first three games of the season, Pugh has six goals and three assists, which has been a big plus for a young Golden Eagles back line. Vista has been forced to replace six defenders who graduated off last year’s team.

“I speak for Mal that we don’t ever count on one player to win games for us but to have somebody like her will obviously impact every game,” said Echtermeyer.

“She’s very, very special. She’s a great kid, easy to be around, a student leader in the school. She does everything right on the field and off the field. She has the potential to be a national and international face for women’s soccer. She will be a great ambassador for U.S. soccer. But when she’s here, she is just part of the group, part of the team.”

Mallory is the second Pugh to play for Echtermeyer at Mountain Vista.

Her older sister Bri help the Golden Eagles win the 2011 state championship and now is playing for the University of Oregon.

“She has made a huge impact at Oregon not only at the school but in the Pac 12,” said Pugh. “I know she has helped me get where I want to be. She taught me everything I know now. She has always been there for me. She teaches me new things.

I’ve learned a lot from her.”

Chemistry carries Falcons to fast start Highlands Ranch boys lacrosse relies on balanced scoring

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lacrosse is similar in many ways to basketball and hockey.

Scoring balance is a key element to successful lacrosse squads, as it is for good basketball teams. And chemistry between lacrosse teammates is vital, like it is on good hockey lines.

Highlands Ranch’s boys lacrosse team has shown plenty of scoring balance so far this season and there’s no question that the Falcons know each other’s moves and tendencies with an experienced team loaded with juniors

and seniors that have logged a lot of minutes together on the field.

The Falcons, after a lastsecond 8-7 loss to Castle View, are 5-1 this season. There are 16 seniors and five juniors on the team that hopes to make a run at the Douglas County League title.

“Chemistry is one of the big reasons for our fast start,” said junior attacker Bay Sherbet. “We’re like one big family.”

Four Falcons are bunched among the Douglas County individual goal scoring leaders.

Sherbert, junior Evan Baker and senior Evan Wong each have 12 goals after six games while senior Max Abbott has tallied 11 goals.

Those four players have accounted for 81 points.

“Good ball movement is a key,” said Abbott. “Most of the players have played together for

three years.”

Last season Sherbert, Baker, Wong and Abbott combined for 85 goals and 143 points. Wong led the way with 27 goals and 26 assists.

“We know each other’s tendencies,” added Wong.

Highlands Ranch played a league game March 25 against Rock Canyon and faced Denver East March 27 in a non-league contest.

“The boys have been doing a great job of sharing the ball,” said coach Matt Bocklett. “They are doing a great job of working off each other. Baker and Sherbert are junior attackers who are doing great. Wong and Abbott have been playing together for a long time.

“We’re off to a 5-1 start and we’ve been doing a great job.”

and ending the game after five innings. Junior Chris Givin had three RBI and two RBI came from junior Quinn O’Neil, junior Josh White and sophomore Ben Sneider.

Rock Canyon 6, Denver East 5 Sophomore Ben Sneider hit a home run in the win against Denver East and also went 2-for-3 with two RBI. Junior Josh White had a triple and went 2-for-4. Pitcher Trent Ihme also had a home run. Pitcher Bryce Dietz received the win.

ARIES (Mar 21 to apr 19) You’ll want to discourage well-meaning but potentially ill-advised interference in what you intend to accomplish. Your work has a better chance to succeed if it reflects you.

TAURUS (apr 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s welldeserved reputation for loyalty could be tested if you learn that it might be misplaced. But don’t rely on rumors. Check the stories out before you decided to act.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Friends can be counted on to help you deal with a perplexing personal situation. But remember to keep your circle of advisers limited only to those you’re sure you can trust.

LEO (Jul 23 to aug 22) Security-loving Lions do not appreciate uncertainty in any form. But sometimes changing situations can reveal hidden stresses in time to repair a relationship before it’s too late.

VIRGO (aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a good time for single Virgos to make a love connection. Be careful not to be too judgmental about your new “prospect” -- at least until you know more about her or him.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) Your sense of justice helps you resolve a problem that might have been unfairly attributed to the wrong person. Spend the weekend doing some long-neglected chores.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You might feel justified in your anger toward someone you suspect betrayed your trust. But it could help if you take the time to check if your suspicions have substance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Ignore distractions if you hope to accomplish your goal by the deadline you agreed to. Keep the finish line in sight, and you should be able to cross it with time to spare.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your creative self continues to dominate through much of the week. also, despite a few problems that have cropped up, that recent romantic connection seems to be thriving.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) as curious as you might be, it’s best to avoid trying to learn a colleague’s secret. That sort of knowledge could drag you into a difficult workplace situation at some point down the line.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Instead of spending too much time floundering around wondering if you can meet your deadline, you need to spend more time actually working toward reaching it.

front court lots and reduce safety issues with police vehicles. The county is also remodeling facilities, like cells and showers, to be more compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The new medical building will include new beds and dorms for inmates on suicide watch, an ambulance port, hospital beds and exam rooms, dental care facilities, mental health resources and glass barriers for better line of sight, according to building plans. It is expected to be complete in June, Nicholson-Kluth said.

Once completed, the new facility will cut down on funds and safety issues that accompany bringing an inmate to a hospital, which can cost upwards of $1,500 a day, according to the department.

“When we bring a prisoner to the hospital, we have to sit and watch them 24/7,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, sheriff’s office spokesman. “There’s always a chance for an escape attempt and it can be dangerous for hospital staff.”

The project is a culmination of sorts of a decades-long effort to meet needs of a jail population with rising trends of inmates with mental health issues and drug addic-

tions. Since the 1990s, the county has been adding courtrooms and expanding detention services to keep up with the growth of the county.

“We need to make sure when they (inmates) leave, they’re not worse off,” Undersheriff Tony Spurlock said.

From 1998 to 2006, the county jail population grew at a historic rate, according to the DSCO. After the financial crisis hit in 2008, total inmate numbers inexplicably dropped nationwide although the population of inmates with mental health issues began to rise, Nicholson-Kluth said. Out of the current jail population in Douglas County, about half need some kind of mental health treatment, she said. The number of female inmates has also trended upwards.

“We started realizing that the mental health facilities were not sufficient,” she said. “People can be dangerous. If they are unprotected and without medication, we don’t know what they’ll do.”

The expansion is funded by a 0.43 percent sales tax that was approved in 1995.

Out of the base of those sales-tax payers, about 65 percent are non-residents, Nicholson-Kluth said.

“Ironically, the prison population is about 60 percent non-residents, so that ended up working out,” Nicholson-Kluth said.

The entire project will conclude in November, Nicholson-Kluth said.
