The Douglas County School District is entering into a partnership that would make school athletic trainers employees of Panorama Orthopedics. The change has been met with mixed feelings by the employees it will impact. Chris Mathewson is the head athletic trainer at Ponderosa High School in Parker. He was worked in the district for 23 years and has served as the representative for trainers in their discussions with the district. “We, as a group, have been doing some really good work,” he said. “We do a good job. We cover a lot of things. Take care of the kids… and they’re blowing up the program. It hard to wrap your head around.” The school board approved the partnership during its Jan. 17 meeting. The new contract, which has not been finalized, is expected to go into effect July 1. Derek Chaney, school district director of athletics, activities and alternative education, said the change should have very little impact on the day-today operations for athletic trainers. Currently, nine athletic trainers are employed by the district, with many of them working as teachers or coaches during the day. The estimated cost to the district for the 2017-18 year is $560,000. Contracting the work out to Panorama — which has offices in Golden, Westminster and Highlands Ranch — would cost $450,000, providing $110,000 in savings for the district. Panorama has agreed to hire all athletic trainers employed now by DCSD at their same salary and allow them to continue at their present school. “I think it will be a good partnership at the end of the day, but change always causes a little angst,” Chaney said. Seven of the district’s nine athletic

trainers are also teachers. Those teachers would work as district employees during the school day and then switch to being Panorama employees after school and during games. This split-employment model has raised questions about how and when trainers will be allowed to provide treatment to student athletes. District rules currently prevent employees from working other jobs during the hours they are working for the district. “We’ve had some pretty significant concerns from the start about what this would do to the safety of their teaching positions,” Mathewson said. “We have been told many, many times that teachers cannot double dip.” Chaney said he is aware of the need and expectation for trainers to be available to work with athletes during the school day. “We want to continue to support our athletic trainers in that because it’s good for our student athletes and good for them,” he said. “We just need to make sure it says that in the contract.” In addition, the change would affect retirement benefits of those already employed by the district, as they would become Panorama employees in their athletic training. “I have 18 years in PERA, and now that I don’t teach, my PERA is gone,” said Mathewson, who spent his first five years in the district working for a private clinic before spending 18 years as a full-time trainer for DCSD. “Panorama is offering a 401(k) and things like that, but 18 years in PERA, you don’t get much. So that hurts.” Mathewson said Panorama would also offer benefits like paying overtime when trainers attend weekend events. Chaney said the contract will not be completed until March and that he intends to work with district trainers as they negotiate.

Community members organize town hall on possible school budget cuts BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUITYMEDIA.COM

Concerns about changes to budgets in the Douglas County School District have prompted the organization of a community forum. The town hall forum organized by parents and community members will be at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road, Highlands Ranch. In a letter sent to hundreds of people in the community, the group of parents and community members said “this forum will provide an opportunity for the entire community to directly communicate concerns and questions regarding the most significant cut taken from our schools in the last four years.”

One of the biggest concerns is a district-directed change to how school budgets are calculated that will mean more money for elementary schools and less for high schools. Interim Superintendent Erin Kane said the change was made because district elementary schools are “struggling to make ends meet” and have had a hard time hiring some positions, such as art and music teachers, full time. Opponents of the change said consequences of the new budgeting for high schools and middle schools could include larger class sizes, staff layoffs, schedule changes, programming losses and lost opportunities for students. Kane said there are currently no plans for staff layoffs or cuts to student programing.

A sweet time for fathers and daughters BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Fathers and daughters dressed to impress at the annual Father-Daughter Sweetheart Ball co-hosted by the Highlands Ranch Community Association and the Highlands Ranch Metro District at the Mansion, 9950 East Gateway Drive. Isabelle Springer, 7, wore a black dress with multi-colored sparkles. Her father Craig Springer sported a coat and tie. When asked her favorite part of the event, Isabelle responded: “That I get to dance with my daddy.” The ball, which was held on Feb. 3 and 4, is a sell-out every year, said Amanda Arnce, community events coordinator of the HRCA. Each of the three time slots has around 225 people. Fathers and daughters are invited for dancing, photo opportunities, treats and horse-drawn sleigh rides. “I just love seeing all of the little girls dressed up,” Arnce said.

Crime lab approved by Douglas, Arapahoe and Aurora Land acquisition is final step needed to commence project BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A proposal to build a $15.2 million crime lab for Douglas and Arapahoe counties and the city of Aurora has the official stamp of approval needed to start the project. The city and both counties have signed a final version of the project’s intergovernmental agreement. The

agreement establishes a costsharing plan for the project, but also requirements for the lab’s board of directors, duties of the lab director, annual operating costs, budget development and further details of operation. Douglas County is expected to purchase land in the northern portion of the county for the lab’s construction this month. The project has been approximately two years in the making, with area officials saying the need for a regional lab is paramount. “I think what we were really astonished by is how little

DNA actually gets tested and how long it takes,” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said in October. Centennial contracts with the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office for services and will also benefit from the crime lab. State labs, including that of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, are overrun with case submissions. The backlog means many cases, like homicides or sexual assault, are drawn out. George Brauchler, 18th Judicial District attorney, has also voiced support for the project. Forensic and DNA evidence helps clear or

convict those facing charges, and timely evidence processing speeds a case along, he told Douglas County commissioners Dec. 13. At that meeting, commissioners approved the allocation of $15.2 million to purchase land and build the lab. Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said it was one of the most critical steps in moving the project along, but a waiting game also ensued as each entity prepared to vet the intergovernmental agreement. Douglas County approved the agreement Dec. 20. In January, Aurora and Arapa-

hoe County officials approved the project. Douglas County Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth has said that, for a fee, the lab could also process evidence submitted by municipalities. “The public certainly has an expectation that we use science to the best of our ability,” Araphoe County Sheriff David Walcher said in October. “Well, we’re going to start doing that in our jurisdiction.” The contract’s signing means land acquisition is the final step needed before construction can begin.

Students get lesson about distracted driving Virtual reality simulator makes impression at Rock Canyon BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

A virtual reality simulator showed Rock Canyon High School students how dangerous it is to use a phone while driving. The experience was part of the AT&T It Can Wait campaign, which encourages drivers to keep their eyes on the road and not on their phones. The campaign started with a focus on not texting and driving and has now expanded to include all cell phone uses, including texting, scrolling, posting a selfie or checking an email. AT&T partnered with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office and Douglas County Schools to host the simulator event at Rock Canyon High School on Feb. 2. “This really taught me to pay attention and not look at my phone or I can seriously hurt someone

or myself,” said student Seth Van Mater. “When I went through it, I really didn’t want to hit someone, but then things pop out when you didn’t know you were really distracted.” Van Mater added that after using the simulator, he will most likely urge adults to stop using their phones as much as he will with his friends. Erik Brown, Rock Canyon school resource officer, said that the sheriff ’s office brought the simulator to the school for students to safely experience the dangers of texting and driving rather than just hearing about the dangers. “Kids are addicted to their cell phones and can’t help but look at their devices,” he said. “Hopefully this simulator can curb that enthusiasm and break the habit.” Since its launch in 2010, the AT&T It Can Wait campaign has helped grow awareness of the dangers of smartphone distracted driving to nearly 90 percent of audiences surveyed and inspired more than 14 million pledges to not drive distracted, a media release from AT&T says. Rock Canyon High School students see the effects of using their cell phones while driving through AT&T’s virtual reality simulator. The experience is part of the AT&T It Can Wait campaign, which urges drivers to keep their eyes on the road, not on their phones, a news release from AT&T says. COURTESY PHOTO

Jenny Robbins lost her 19-year-old son, Kade Riefenberg, about four years ago. She said rituals help her cope with her loss. Every year, Robbins and a group of family members and friends go on a rafting trip around June 29, the date of Riefenberg’s death. They have a pizza party around Jan. 24, Riefenberg’s birthday. And they organize a community service project. This year’s was at a local park. “He would have put so much good in the world,” said Robbins, of Highlands Ranch. “So we are trying to put some good in the world.” Robbins and about 10 friends and family members spent last Saturday picking up trash at Tanks Skate Park, 10371 South Broadway. Robbins picked the park because it’s where Riefenberg, who attended Mountain Vista High School, loved to skateboard with his friends. “There were lots of times that I would drop him off and sit in the car if and read — if it was too cold — or sit outside in the sun and watch him,”

Robbins said as she looked around at the skate park, the sun beaming overhead. “Him and his friends would just have a ball out here.” Riefenberg grew up in Highlands Ranch and later moved to Buena Vista where he worked as a raft guide. He died of accidental drowning in 2012. Robbins, who had Riefenberg’s photo pinned to her shirt, described her son as hilarious, adventurous, a good and loyal friend. “He was smart,” she said. “He loved to read.” On Feb. 4, about seven of Riefenberg’s friends joined Robbins at Tanks Skate Park. One of those was Anthony Renteria, who also attended Mountain Vista. “It’s a reminder of our fallen friend,” Renteria said. Craig Archer, also a friend of Riefenberg’s, said the cleanup was a chance for old friends to reconnect. “We don’t see each other much — we are all in our own lives,” he said. A few of Robbins’ close friends were also in attendance, along with her husband, Brian Robbins, and their young son, Asher, who was learning to ride a bike on the concrete skate park. Robbins said she will continue planning the events in honor of Riefenberg for as long as possible. “Rituals are a big part of healing,” she said. “I’ll do it as long as I can and hopefully the kids will continue to show.”

Minimum wage hike’s impact a work in progress Effects of new law remain modest for now, may not be felt in full for years BY KYLE HARDING AND TOM SKELLEY STAFF WRITERS

The minimum wage increase that took effect in Colorado at the beginning of the year is having a minimal impact so far on the south metro Denver business community, according to several proprietors and industry experts. While some employers are evaluating how to best account for the added expense of paying workers nearly an additional $1 per hour, the bigger and more common quandary is how they will absorb the cost as the minimum wage rises an additional $2.70 over the next few years. On the retail and fast food fronts, many locations in the south metro area — which has a higher cost of living than much of the state — already pay a market rate above the new minimum wage of $9.30 per hour. In Parker, the Twisters Burgers and Burritos restaurant starts employees at $10.25 or $10.50 per hour. District Manager Gary Hatfield said that in other locations, he can fill positions at minimum wage. “It hasn’t affected the business yet,” Hatfield said, comparing possible effects of the minimum wage hike to market forces like increased food costs. “You’d have to (study the effects) over a long period of time.” The new law is apparently having little impact to date in Englewood as well. “I talked to members of the chamber and I didn’t talk to one business owner who pays minimum wage,” said Randy Penn, Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce executive director.

Parker residents Rashaad Short, left, Asi Sherril, center, and Ezequiel Jimenez, right, work their way through a pile of donations in the warehouse of the Goodwill Thrift Store in Parker. TOM SKELLEY He said a new Chick-fil-A that will open soon in the city is hiring dozens of workers at well above minimum wage. In Littleton, the Panda Express restaurant is advertising for employees with starting pay of $10 to $12 per hour. On New Year’s Day, the first of four increases the state will see over the next four years took effect, raising the wage from $8.31. Under the new law, by 2020, Colorado’s minimum wage will reach $12 per hour, following 90 cent increases in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Jack Strauss, an economist at the University of Denver, said fast food restaurants in Highlands Ranch, where he lives, pay $10 to $12 per hour. He said that with the area’s low unemployment rate, most businesses are forced to pay higher wages. “Denver is a booming city,” he said.

A dilemma for some One area organization that does pay some of its employees minimum wage is Goodwill Industries of Denver. Prices at the nonprofit group’s stores won’t increase, but Goodwill has delayed expanding employee service programs, such as rent and utility assistance packages, according to Leslie Peabody, vice president of human resources. “On the flip side, we’re definitely on the side of the power of work,” Peabody said. “We’re happy about the (new law), it’s just taking a bit of change and flexibility about what we can provide.” Carolyn Livingston, communications director for the Colorado Restaurant Association, said restaurateurs may be reluctant to speak publicly about it, but said she has heard from some that they are adjusting their businesses. “Some people have already increased their prices,” she said.

Livingston said that other restaurateurs are looking at cutting back on employee hours. CRA opposed the minimum wage increase during the campaign, but the law, Amendment 70, passed with 55 percent of the vote in November. “The thing folks don’t understand with restaurants is they only make 3 to 6 percent profit margin,” Livingston said. Amendment 70 also raises the minimum pay for tipped employees, like wait staff, maintaining it at $3.02 below the regular minimum wage. Livingston pointed out that this will make the tipped minimum wage higher as a percentage of the regular minimum wage than before. “The tipped minimum wage is going up 70 percent in four years,” she said. “That’s a lot.” Peabody said the “skyrocketing” cost of living in and around Denver led to higher turnover with Goodwill’s staff. She hopes larger paychecks will mitigate that. “We definitely saw that $8.75 an hour was just not going to cut it for our employees in the Denver metro region,” she said. “We weren’t paying a livable wage.” Littleton resident Michael Kessler, who owns Sanyork Fair Trade in Denver, agrees. “We feel that $10 or under an hour is not a living wage, especially in this economy and in Colorado,” said Kessler, whose company imports goods from Latin America. He said that all of his employees already make more than $12 per hour. Sheridan resident Jose Ortiz, 18, said he works for minimum wage at a company in Lakewood, which he declined to identify, and welcomes the wage hike. “Every little bit helps,” he said. What’s next? Kessler was one of the business owners who signed on to the SEE WAGE, P18

With Colorado’s snowiest month, March, approaching, the governing bodies of Highlands Ranch would like residents to know the community’s snow removal process. Highlands Ranch residents are responsible for clearing sidewalks in front of and alongside their homes, as well as the areas around adjacent mailboxes and fire hydrants. Residents are required to clear these areas within 24 hours after a snowfall. The Highlands Ranch Metro District, the local government that provides municipal services, is responsible for 150 miles of trails and sidewalks, including 38 miles of hard surface trails, 112 miles of sidewalks along urban roads, roadways around fire stations and metro district buildings and parking lots at community and neighborhood parks. County ordinance requires that snow be removed within 24 hours of the end of a snow storm, Dirk Ambrose, parks and parkways manager of the metro district, said in an email correspondence. “... although that is always our goal, sometimes it takes us a little longer depending on the size of a storm or the density of the snow,” Ambrose said. “Deep snow accumulation and heavy

The county will begin removing snow at snowfall.

New opportunities for home-schooled students HRCA creates programs for ‘underserved group’ of community BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITY

Page Carr home-schools her three children, who are 7, 9 and 12 years old. She creates her kids’ curriculum and material. She sets their schedules and plans their extracurricular activities. “I just wanted to be able to teach them their interests, move at their pace,” Carr, of Highlands Ranch, said. Carr isn’t alone in her decision to home-school. There are 102 Douglas County School District home-school students who live in Highlands Ranch, according to the school district. Carr, who coordinates with other homeschool parents in the area, said that number could be doubled or tripled if you count the home-school students who use the curriculum of a private school or another school district in the state. Carr and other home-school parents agree that afterschool programs for home-school students are limited. So the Highlands Ranch Community Association is stepping in to help. “What we have is an opportunity to service kids who don’t have a lot of choices here in Highlands Ranch,”

said Chris Dorow, an archery coach who teaches classes at HRCA. Dorow also home-schooled three of his four children. The HRCA has a variety of classes exclusive to home-school students, including taekwondo, soccer, pottery, golf, yoga, archery, field trips and a special-needs swim group. Most classes are under $50 for a month-long session. Aside from encouraging physical activity, each class teaches different life skills. Participants learn respect and discipline in taekwondo, nutrition in archery, conflict management in soccer, mindfulness in yoga. Classes may also fulfill a curriculum in school. Dorow incorporates science and math into his archery classes. Pottery classes promote art. Soccer and golf fall under physical education. “It is an education, not just a recreation,” said Jamie Noebel, community relations manager of the HRCA. Carr’s youngest children take taekwondo twice a week. She said the teacher encourages her children to work with other classmates. “They support the other kids in the class,” she said. “They become mini teachers.” The HRCA wants to provide a space for home-school students — who can oftentimes feel isolated — to connect, staff members said. “We are here,” Noebel said. “This is a resource for an underserved group of people.”

Taking long view past stress makes our brief time on earth a richer experience

WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

o the other day I was reading a news article about finding a “Lost Continent” under the Indian Ocean. The scientists believe the continent was buried under the sea more than 80 million years ago, although rocks that have been found on the island can only be dated back as far as 9 million years ago. However, there are certain crystals on those rocks that can be dated back billions of years. We are talking millions and billions of years old. The discovery of the buried continent may be new news to most of us, but certainly the idea of the earth being formed billions of years ago is not. And whether

you are a creationist or evolutionist, or you haven’t really formed your opinion or belief just yet, there is a saying that Zig Ziglar used to use all the time that we can all probably agree is true: “The fact is we will all be dead a whole lot longer than we are going to be alive.” Mr. Ziglar used this statement to encourage people to think about how they live their lives and where they will be spending their eternity. This is not meant to shock you or make you sad; instead, it is a simple reminder to think about how long the earth has been spinning and how much longer it will continue to spin, remember, millions and

Movement toward better health is worth protecting

n the waning days of 2016, Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act with a 392-to-26 vote in the House and a 94-to-5 vote in the Senate. While it wasn’t without controversy, it was a show of bipartisanship rarely seen in recent years. The bill allocates $1.8 billion to fund development of new cancer cures, $1 billion to bolster the fight against the current opioid epidemic, and includes provisions that should ultimately increase the availability of behavioral health services. Over the past decade, my immediate family has waged our own war against cancer, opioid addiction, and mental health crisis, so I’ve personally witnessed their terrible wrath. I commend Congress’ dedication to improving our health care services so these diseases, and many others, are ultimately less destructive to our communities. However, better health care services are only useful to people who have access to health care. Persistent and significant disparities exist across race, income, and geography in access to cancer treatment, prescription drug use, and access to mental health services. Too often, these disparities are exacerbated by a lack of health insurance. At the same time Congress was working to pass 21st Century Cures, congressional leaders were

GUEST COLUMN

working behind the scenes to craft a strategy for immediate repeal of the Affordable Care Act. By every analysis, repeal of the ACA without replacement would lead to millions more uninsured, Joe Sammen higher health care costs, and dramatically less access to the very health care services that 21st Century Cures seeks to improve — especially for those who need these services the most. Repeal of the ACA seems imminent, but congressional leaders should insist on a responsible replacement plan to be enacted simultaneously. Any replacement plan must include the following: Protection of coverage gains: Colorado, and the country, have seen historic gains in ensuring meaningful health coverage since the passage of the ACA. Protecting these gains in coverage, as well as the corresponding benefits of improved access for consumers and sustainability for health care providers, is a must.

SMITH FROM PAGE 10

I thought I was in love with Ruthie Clinton. She didn’t know I existed. On Valentine’s Day, I sneaked a valentine through her locker door. I thought it was her locker door. I was one off. What America needs right now is love, true love. Love and humor. Thomas Edison walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’ll serve you a drink, but just don’t get any ideas.” Edison was married twice, and he fathered six children. I don’t know how he found the time. There are 1,093 patents in his name. But none of them, not a single one, has anything to do with Valentine’s Day. Doesn’t that tell you something? But here’s something you may not know. He invented something that was a failure for its purpose. It was an electric pen. No one needed an electric pen, but another inventor, Samuel F. O’Reilly, saw a possibility in it. O’Reilly thought he could use Edison’s device to write “I Love My Mama” on a sailor’s arm, instead of using what was available at the time.

NORTON FROM PAGE 10

suffers from the stress? One million years from now, will anyone look back on history and remember the person who cut us off on the highway? Of course the answer to all of these questions and more is “no.” But yet we stress and stress some more. We stress over our families, our children, our neighbors, our jobs, and over money. We stress over war and injustice, and we stress over hunger and disease. We stress over people we have lost in our lives and so many other situations. We stress so much that our doctors prescribe anti-anxiety medicine with increasing frequency. I saw a bottle of anti-anxiety medication that directed the patient to, “Take one pill per day 30 minutes prior to the stressor occurring.” So this means we know the stress or anxiety is coming, we have built it into our subconscious thinking, and so of course we will stress 30 minutes from now. This is also not a suggestion or recommendation in any way to stop taking any prescribed medications. I am certainly not a doctor and all treatment plans should be carefully discussed with a licensed practitioner.

What was available at the time was slow and inefficient, and there were frequent misspellings. One sailor woke up the next day with a tattoo that said, “I love my Lama.” This electric pen changed all of that, and now it’s known as a tattoo pen. Every other song is about love. Name it and claim it. “Now, I don’t mean to bother you, but I’m in distress. There’s danger of me losing all of my happiness. “For I love a girl who doesn’t know I exist, and this you can fix. I know between the two of us, her heart we can steal. Help me if you will.” The lyrics from Sam Cooke’s “Cupid.” It always makes me a little sad to hear it. If you know how Cooke’s life ended you know why it makes me sad. Love songs sound great when we’re in love, and love songs can make us wistful when we’re not in love. There is always room for more of them. The same goes for love stories, with the exception of “Love Story.”

SAMMEN FROM PAGE 10

Protection for our most vulnerable populations: Replacement plans must acknowledge the vital role that publicly funded programs play for so many people, including children, seniors, people of color, low-income individuals, and people with disabilities. Any plan should ensure a strong health care market through stable funding and federal oversight of comprehensive, affordable coverage. Encouragement for health care transformation: Colorado has capitalized on opportunities to bring efficiencies and improvements to our health care system through collaboration in both private and public delivery systems, particularly by focusing on the integration of behavioral and physical health care. Replacement plans should continue to support transformation at the state and community levels with federal investment.

The ACA has not been perfect, but the impressive and important coverage gains it’s led to are undeniable. Without health insurance, people delay seeking health care until the need is dire, which usually results in higher costs than if the person were able to access care early. They will also be unlikely to be able to afford follow-up care or medications they need to stay healthy, including treatments for cancer, substance use, and mental illness. 21st Century Cures requires an insured populace to fulfill its promise to the American people; if the ACA is repealed without a sufficient replacement that continues to enable access to vital health care services for the most vulnerable, it will have fallen far short of its potential.

But to put stress into perspective and to think about how we can most enjoy our ever-so-brief time here on this planet, and to think about how we can reduce our stress a little bit more, try spending time on these words and activities; breathe, pray, meditate, love, forgive, serve others, rest, trust, kindness, and patience. Battles could be quick and wars can be very long. The war on our own personal stress should be taken seriously, as we will be unable to take care of our family, our career, or anything else for that matter, if we are not taking proper care of ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually. How about you? Is everything a stressor or fire drill and you feel like you are constantly in a battle? Or have you also figured out how to put life into perspective and found a way to reduce your own stress levels? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we can breathe, pray, love, forgive, trust, rest, act with kindness, serve others, and live with patience, we will reduce our stress and it really will be a better than good week.

Dalton Geske, 18, of Denver shelves books at Christian Used Books, where he works part-time. The bookstore, at 3436 S. Broadway in Englewood, features 75,000 used books on site and 50,000 more stored in a warehouse. PHOTOS BY CHRISTY STEADMAN

Books, Bibles Christian bookstores offer more than just the written word BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

andering around the maze of more than 75,000 books in a 2,500-square-foot bookstore on South Broadway, the section titles are diverse: Endtime thrillers, books for mom, on the supernatural and Christian living, to name a few. Nonfiction sits near novels of imagination. There are dictionaries, books on prayer and guidebooks that teach how to study the Bible. Then there are the rare collector books — some that can be traced back to 400 years ago. “We have so many cool and interesting books here,” said Dalton Geske, an 18-year-old Denver college student who works part-time at the Englewood store, Christian Used Books. “And you get to see how much they’ve been loved,” he added, pointing out highlighted texts and handwritten notes in some of the nearby books. Christian bookstores are a niche market. They offer readers a different

experience than online shopping — and many serve a purpose beyond the business of selling books. “This is a bookstore, but it’s also a ministry,” said Eddie Cook, owner of Christian Used Books. “It’s amazing what happens in here.” The ministry of books Denver residents Cook and his wife Bonnie have owned and operated the bookstore for 25 years. Cook is a pastor who started a church in Englewood in 1992, but is now an itinerant evangelist — which means he preaches in various places — so that he can focus more on the bookstore. The bookstore ministers in a number of ways, Cook said. For example, he donates Bibles and religious books to organizations or individuals in need. Many of those materials will go to missions overseas such as to Ghana, Cambodia, the Philippines and Liberia. Although Cook sees new customers every day, a lot of his regulars come back for the knowledge, he said. “Christians are always working on something,” Cook said. “The folks who come in here are either growing personally or helping someone else grow.” Christian author and pastor Dave Cheadle agrees about the added value of bookstores.

“The folks who come in here are either growing personally or helping someone else grow.” Eddie Cook owner of Christian Used Books About 10 years ago, Cheadle started the Harvest Christian Community church in Wheat Ridge. Now, he works with the homeless through Giving Heart Englewood. Cheadle has been writing since at least the mid-1970s, he said, and has more than 150 articles and six books published. He is working on the third novel of a Christian fiction trilogy that he describes as an “apocalyptic end-of-the-world type of story.” In the story, Christians are called upon to minister to the suffering world, Cheadle said, and the main character preaches about grace and truth. “That is the theme of my life — it’s a theme I feel strongly about and it comes through in the books,” Cheadle said. “I love getting caught up in the story as I write it.” Richard Weigang of Centennial

holds a master’s degree in biblical theology and as a store owner, it’s all about taking an interest in the customer and helping he or she buy what they want and need, he said. Weigang and his wife Lorena have owned and operated The Catholic Store, 3372 S. Broadway in Englewood, for 25 years. “We serve primarily Catholics, but people of all faiths come in,” Weigang said. “Some people want to browse and others have their mind made up on what they want.” The store specializes in Bibles, books and gifts such as prayer cards, rosaries, jewelry, saint statues and crosses. The book selection is mostly nonfiction, Weigang said, but the store carries a wide variety of subjects and SEE BOOKS, P13

authors — including children’s books — and there is a lot of literature in Spanish. “The saint books sell the best,” Weigang said. “I think people can relate to saints. They give us an example on how to live.” Reading rooms open to all Christian Science Reading Rooms also can serve a number of purposes as a bookstore and lending library, said Don Morris, librarian at the First Church of Christ Scientists of Arvada. Reading rooms are open to the public, Morris said, so people who are familiar with Christian Science come for prayer or study. But others come in because they are curious. Everybody is welcome to visit the reading room, Morris said, but it must be noted that all materials available at any Christian Science reading room support the Christian Science movement and must be from the Christian Science Publishing Society. “We don’t offer books from just anybody,” he said, adding reading rooms can be thought of as a “one-stop-shop” for all things on Christian Science. Many of the materials in the reading room are for sale, some can be borrowed and others are for on-site use only. “The reading room is not just about selling products,” Morris said. “It’s

Richard Weigang of Centennial stands with some of the Catholic items at his store of 25 years on South Broadway in Englewood. about being a place where people can come for a spiritual atmosphere — a good, quiet place to get away.” Independent brick-and-mortar Christian bookstores are at somewhat of a decline, Cook of Christian Used Books said. His best guess is that about 70 percent across the U.S. have closed within the past 15 years as a result of big-box retailers offering cheaper prices and the ease of online shopping.

However, “books will always be the way we learn and communicate,” Cook said. “And there’s still a need for people to be able to walk into a store and buy a book.” And, then, there’s the community aspect. “Sometimes, I wander into a Christian bookstore just to connect with the wall of books that prove I’m not alone in my faith and struggles,”

Cheadle said. “Standing in front of a shelf filled with works by often brilliant scholars and writers who’ve explored my very issues and have found hope — just touching the spines of these great works, pulling a few from the shelf — can be enough to lift my spirits.”

Cara Denney and her friends didn’t set out to be activists, but losing friends to a distracted driver drew them into politics nonetheless. In February 2016, Brian and Jacquie Lehner, much-loved members of the motorcycle community in Douglas

County and close friends of Parker resident Denney, were riding their motorcycle south on Parker Road when they were struck and killed by a driver who admitted to checking a text immediately before causing the crash. On Jan. 20, Athina Munoz was sentenced to 20 years in prison on two class-3 felony counts of vehicular homicide while driving under the influence of alcohol. But Denney and her friends were shocked to learn that she wouldn’t have faced any prison time if not for the presence of alcohol. Denney and friends in the Douglas County HOGS, a local chapter of a statewide motorcycle club, formed

Coloradans Organized for Responsible Driving, an advocacy group that has grown to about 150 members since its inception in November and expanded beyond motorcycle enthusiasts. “Something good had to come out of all this,” said Susan Dane of Aurora, a friend of the Lehners and co-chair of CORD. “I looked up the fine (for a texting and driving offense) and it was $50. “I said, ‘Is that it?’” They kept a low profile during the Munoz trial, but less than a week after the driver was sentenced in January, CORD members found themselves testifying in support of Senate Bill 17027 at the state Capitol. They intended to watch the bill being debated on the

Senate floor, but some were asked to testify. “They were thrilled to have us, because the bill was going to die,” Denney said. Democrat Lois Court, of Denver, is sponsoring the bill in the state Senate, while Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, is the House sponsor. The bill would significantly increase penalties for distracted driving. Under HB 09-1094, enacted in 2009, drivers are assessed one point on their license and a $50 fine for a first offense. An additional point and a fine of $75 is given for a second offense.

Current penalties for texting and driving as set forth under House Bill 09-1094 in 2009: Colorado’s texting laws are considered “primary” laws, meaning an officer can pull a driver over for the offense without witnessing another violation. To be convicted, a law enforcement officer must see the driver texting. Penalties: • First offense: $50 fine plus a $6 surcharge, one point on driver’s license. • Second offense: $100 fine plus a $6 surcharge, one point on driver’s license. Proposed penalties under SB 17-027, currently in committee in the state Senate: Texting and driving would remain a primary offense requiring a law enforcement officer

to observe the behavior for a conviction. Penalties: • First offense: $500 fine and five points on driver’s license. • Second offense: $750 fine and six points on driver’s license. Drivers between 16 and 18 years old may have licenses suspended for accumulating six points within a year or seven points within two years. Drivers between 18 and 21 years old may have licenses suspended after accumulating 9 points within 12 months, 12 points within 24 months or 14 points before reaching the age of 21. Drivers over 21 may have their license suspended if they accumulate 12 points within 12 months or 18 points within 24 months.

WAGE FROM PAGE 7

Business for a Fair Minimum Wage campaign in favor of Amendment 70. Strauss, the DU economist, said that modest minimum wage hikes are unlikely to have large effects on food prices in Denver, but said that effects could be felt in parts of the state where the economy is not as strong, such as Pueblo or rural parts of the state. While activists around the country have been calling for a $15-per-hour minimum wage for several years, Amendment 70 was crafted as a compromise, with its supporters saying they recognize that $12 per hour in Denver is different than $12 per hour in Pueblo. Weldy Feazell, the Town of Parker’s director of business retention and marketing, said only one business owner has approached her concerning the increase, and that person didn’t even know what to make of it. “They said, `as a human being, of course I want people to make more money, but I’m not sure how it’s go-

ing to affect my business,’ and that was it,” Feazell said. In addition to the restaurant association, many chamber of commerce groups, including the South Metro Denver Chamber, opposed the wage hike. “What we heard from our members was the cost of providing that additional wage is going to be cumbersome on small business and possibly detrimental on their ability to have employees,” said Bob Golden, South Metro Denver Chamber president and CEO. But, like Hatfield, Peabody said it will take time to fully understand the effect Amendment 70 will have on the bottom line. She said Goodwill is preparing to adapt. “Every four years, there could be a change in policy just based on the presidential elections,” she said. “You’re always kind of changing based on what can happen in the marketplace or the political arena. We just have to make changes and adapt.” — Staff writers Tom Munds and Stephanie Mason contributed to this report.

Crossing county lines for health awareness Metro counties partner for Hidden Sugar campaign BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver resident Andrea Pérez recently took her 5-year-old daughter Yizel to the dentist. The Jan. 14 visit didn’t go very well — Yizel had to get five fillings that Saturday. “I was not happy about that,” Pérez said. “It clicked right away. I thought, I have to do something.” So the following Thursday, Pérez, 25, who is expecting her second child in June, took a pledge to reduce the amount of sugary beverages that her daughter consumes. The pledge is offered through a new metro-wide campaign called Hidden Sugar, which can be accessed online at www.Hidden-Sugar.org. The campaign is meant to target parents and caregivers with children ages 0 to 6. Hidden Sugar is spearheaded by six metro-area health departments that joined forces to form the Healthy Beverage Partnership —Jefferson County Public Health, the Tri-County Health Department (Adams, Douglas and Arapahoe counties), Denver Environmental Health, Denver Public

Andrea Pérez of Denver reads information on sugary beverages provided by the Jefferson County health department. CHRISTY STEADMAN Health, Broomfield Public Health and Environment and Boulder County Public Health. The purpose of Hidden Sugar, said Allison Wilson, Jefferson County Public Health’s Healthy Beverage Partnership coordinator, is to educate parents on how much sugar hides in certain drinks, and encourage families to reduce the amount of sugar served to children. “Ideally, it would be none,” Wilson said, “but the goal is to reduce.” Sugary drinks are the biggest source of added sugar in a child’s diet, Wilson said. Not only are they bad for dental health, she said, they can contribute to a number of other health SEE SUGAR, P31

Jaguars retain league swim title Rock Canyon tops field of 10 teams BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rock Canyon took top honors in the 200-yard medley relay, the opening event of the Feb. 4 Continental League Swimming Meet finals, and placed swimmers in the top six of just about every other event as the Jaguars amassed 636 points to win their second straight league swimming title. “I could not be prouder of our girls,” Rock Canyon coach Nicole Vanderpool said after the meet.

“Every one of our girls dug deep and worked hard in the preliminaries in order to be back here today for the finals. It was a great team effort to again win the league title.” She said she felt all the very intense competition in every event challenged the Jaguars to push themselves and they did. “They swam their hearts out in every event,” the coach said. “For example, our time in the A finals 400 freestyle relay is our best time of the year.” Rock Canyon freshman Reagan Mathieson said she saw how much her older sister Makenna loved swimming so she decided to try it. “I quickly came to really like the sport because I like the competi-

tion and I really like being with my teammates,” she said. “It is a very challenging sport and requires a lot of determination. The practices and meets take up a lot of my time so I don’t do a lot of other things but I do set aside time for academics.” Mathieson said the sport is physically challenging as team members swim about 6,000 yards a day in practice. “That is demanding, so I eat a lot to keep up my energy,” she said. “Most of the time I eat a lot of meats and carbohydrates like pasta. I eat a lot, but I burn it off in swimming practice and competition.”

4. She made a basket with a minute to play against D’Evelyn that gave the Eagles a four-point advantage. Delaney Smith,junior, swimming, Arapahoe: Smith was one of five Warriors to win individual titles at the Centennial League championships on Feb. 4. She won the 100 backstroke in 57.33 and was first in the 200 freestyle in 1:51.73. Rebekah Sandstrom, junior, basketball,

Littleton: Sandstrom recorded her eighth double-double of the season with 10 points and 11 rebounds in a 51-37 Jeffco 4A loss to Evergreen on Feb. 1. Sandstrom averages 11.7 rebounds a game to lead the league. Ben Reinholtz, hockey, Mountain Vista: The Golden Eagles killed six Monarch power plays, including a 5-on-3 disadvantage and Reinholtz made 25 saves in a 2-0 victory over the Coyotes on Feb.4

STANDOUT PERFORMERS Skylar Backstrom, senior, basketball, Douglas County: Backstrom is the leading scorer in the Continental League and scored 31 points in the Huskies’ 66-56 win over Rock Canyon on Jan. 31. Mary Newland, senior, basketball, Valor Christian: Newland, who scored 25 points in a win over Golden on Feb. 1, tallied 17 points in a 46-44 Jefferson County 4A victory over ninth-ranked D’Evleyn on Feb.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS are five athletes named from south metro area high schools. Preference is given to those making their debut on the list. To nominate an athlete, contact Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ational Signing Day was Feb. 1, when high school athletes autographed letters of intent with colleges to play at the next level. Some athletes signed in the fall, but most football and soccer players made official commitments Feb. 1. There is another signing date on April 12. OVERTIME Castle View lineman Nathan Laufenberg didn’t sign a letter of intent. Instead, he signed a certificate of intent, since he plans to attend and play football at the Air Force Academy. Jim Benton The certificate of intent is a nonbinding agreement that signifies an athlete’s commitment to follow through with the cadet appointment process and allows them to participate in signing day for publicity purposes. The certificate is signed by athletes who are recruited and plan to attend Air Force, Navy or Army. Laufenberg’s uncles and grandfather were in the Air Force and he is already working out to be in top shape for the grueling six weeks of Basic Cadet Training this summer. That includes training in the rural Jacks Valley center on the academy grounds in Colorado Springs. “I’m getting in shape now,” Laufenberg said. “I felt like the Air Force Academy was a good opportunity — it is close to home and everything seemed to fit.” Full court press for mercy rule The ball is now in the court of the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council on whether a mercy rule for boys and girls basketball will be adopted. We’ll find out in April if the legislative council approves the mercy rule that was tweaked and unanimously agreed on by the basketball committee. It was passed to the legislative council for endorsement. The legislative council has 72 members made up of league representatives, Colorado Association of School Executive reps, Colorado Association of School Board reps and representatives of the Colorado Athletic Directors Association. If the proposal is approved for the 2017-18 season, a running clock will start when there is a 35-point or more differential in scores entering the fourth quarter. The clock would be stopped for injuries, timeouts and free throws — a concession to coaches who didn’t want to give up playing time for little-used reserves and younger players. SEE BENTON, P22

Valentine’s Highlands Ranch’s Kasey Neubert and Christina Martinez of ThunderRidge collide as they both go to the floor for the loose ball. The Falcons held on for the 49-37 victory at home on Feb. 4. PAUL DISALVO

Falcons down Grizzlies STAFF REPORT

What a difference a year makes. Last season in a Continental League regular-season game, Highlands Ranch outscored ThunderRidge 34-12 in the second half and overcame a 13-point halftime deficit to earn a 46-37 victory. The teams faced each other in a league game on Feb. 3, and Highlands Ranch, the second-ranked Class 5A

team in the CHSAANow.com poll, didn’t need a comeback in notching a 49-37 win over the Grizzlies. This season’s game was a rematch of the 2016 Class 5A state championship game, which ThunderRidge won, 47-32. Highlands Ranch, which led by 10 points at halftime and 14 going into the fourth quarter, improved to 7-0 in the league and 18-2 overall. ThunderRidge slipped to 3-3 and 7-12.

SWIMMING FROM PAGE 21

Ten teams took part in the league championship meet. The preliminaries were held Feb. 3 to determine the qualifiers for the Feb. 4 finals. In individual events, 18 swimmers qualified for the two or three heats that made up each final event. Swimmers were seeded in the heats based on times in the preliminaries and the swimmers with the fastest times competed in the A finals. The meet got off to an exciting start with an almost-photo finish in the A finals of the 200-yard medley relay. The cheering shook the pool walls as the Rock Canyon team of Makenna Mathieson, Kennedy Philbrick, Jessia Beckwith and Madison Coonts won the event with a time of 1:47.82 just ahead of the Heritage team that posted a time of 1:47.90. Rock Canyon topped the final team standings, Heritage was second,

Jessica Beckwith swims the butterfly leg for the Rock Canyon 200 medley relay team during the Feb. 3-4 Continental League Swimming and Diving Championship Meet held at the Heritage High School pool. TOM MUNDS Regis was third and the co-op Douglas County-Castle View team finished fourth with 317 points. Huskies swimmer Elsa Litteken finished first in the 50-yard freestyle and in the 100-yard backstroke while divers Lexie Baker and Samantha Tamborski finished one-two in diving. “I did gymnastics, a friend urged me to try diving, I did and I love it,” Tamborski said after she received her award. “Gymnastics gives you an edge when you dive because you already know how to do flips and twists. It really helps when you are learning the more complex dives.” Mountain Vista finished fifth with 302 points. The top placers for the Golden Eagles included junior Natalie Arky, who won the 200-yard individual medley, and teammate Holly Dennis, who won the 100-yard. In the remainder of the team standings ThunderRidge finished sixth, Highlands Ranch finished seventh, Chaparral finished eighth, Legend finished ninth and Ponderosa was 10th.
