Worker stabbed following argument Centennial man arrested in attack at Lone Tree Qdoba

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com An argument between two co-workers in the kitchen of the Lone Tree Qdoba triggered a stabbing that hospitalized one man and led to the other’s arrest.

Thomas Javon Alston, 22, of Centennial, was held on charges of first-degree assault, criminal attempt and attempted seconddegree 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-year-old co-worker, according to an arrest affidavit filed with the district attorney’s office.

The co-worker, Francisco Arredondo, 24, was transported to Littleton Hospital with stab wounds Alston 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 Stabbed continues on Page 6

Another school shifts schedule Highlands Ranch High joins Mountain Vista in leaving block for traditional day

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.

Parkinson’s surgery changing lives Area doctor among handful performing technique

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Centennial resident John Bauer describes the surgery that eased his Parkinson’s disease symptoms as a small miracle.

“I have an increase in energy and just feel overall better,” said the 66-year-old, diagnosed with the disease 10 years ago.

“Now I only take one Parkinson’s medication, and that’s 50 percent of what it was. I used to take three (medications).”

Bauer underwent a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation at Littleton Adventist Hospital. Dr. David VanSickle, who also performs the procedure at Lone Tree’s Sky Ridge Medical Center, inserts electrodes into the brains of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. The electrical

stimulation blocks abnormal nerve signals that cause many of Parkinson’s most troublesome symptoms.

“If not the most, it’s one of the most effective treatments,” VanSickle said. “Quality of life will improve 25 to 30 percent.”

About 60,000 people are diagnosed with the disease annually.

VanSickle is among a handful of doctors nationally who perform the procedure while patients are asleep. That not only reduces patients’ stress, it cuts down on the time required for surgery and allows VanSickle greater accuracy in placing the electrodes.

The surgical treatment is most effective for treating the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s, including tremors, rigidity and limited facial expression.

That final symptom “hurts their relationships with their family members,” VanSickle said, because loved ones are unable to read facial expressions.

“People do it for the tremor,” he said.

“But the number one result they like is the facial expressions. I hear people say, ‘Thank you for giving me my wife or husband back.

This is the person I married.’”

After years of living with the disease, Bauer’s symptoms worsened significantly in 2013, prompting him to move forward with the surgery.

“The biggest thing I’ve noticed is when I’m driving,” he said. “Before, I was really afraid to drive; it was just the way my nervous system was reacting.”

Bauer now drives with ease and confidence. Because he’s caring for his ailing wife, that’s vital for them both.

“I trained as a neurosurgeon, but I fell in love with this patient population,” VanSickle said.

“You make half as much as you would as a spine surgeon. But they are really nice people. And they get quite a bit better. I believe in it.”

Two Lone Tree employees promoted Hebert, First move up administration ladder

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The City of Lone Tree rewarded two of its longtime employees with recent promotions. Former community development director Steve Hebert is now deputy city manager. And Kelly First, previously the city’s planning manager, now assumes Hebert’s previous title of community development director.

Those changes come in First the wake of former deputy city manager Seth Hoffman’s advancement to city manager. He assumed the top spot after longtime City Manager Jack Hidahl announced his retire-

ment in late 2013.

Councilmembers offered congratulations to Hebert and First during the March 18 council meeting.

“Even though we did national interviews, we found people (here) that were as good — better than — the national interview circuit,” Mayor Jim Gunning said. “We couldn’t be happier.”

Neither could Hebert or First.

“I feel as if I have grown right along with this community over the years, and feel very fortunate to be part of a team that is accomplishing some very exciting things,” said First, who has worked with the Hebert city for 14 years. “The city leadership, staff and residents in Lone Tree are exceptional, so it’s nice to be able to continue my career path here and contribute in new ways.”

“I am honored that Seth and the city council have the confidence in me to help them get to where they want to be,” said Hebert, initially hired at Lone Tree in late 2008. “The mayor and others often talk about how much is being accomplished at the local government level. I want to continue to be a part of that and help make sure the City of Lone Tree is a good steward of the taxpayers’ money and the public’s trust.”

The planning manager position First vacated won’t be immediately filled, and could remain vacant permanently, Hoffman said.

“We’re evaluating where that (position) is most needed in the city,” he said.

The debate over the ‘nanny state’ 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?

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

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

Ferrandino acknowledges that, on issues like these, “sometimes it becomes a political thing, rather than a fundamental ideology thing.”

“I really appreciate people who are consistent in their Libertarian identity,” the House speaker said.

Efforts to curb bad behaviors have been a staple of state and federal government for a long, long time and I doubt they’re going anywhere, any time soon.

But does telling someone not to do something that’s bad for them really work?

I’m not sure. But it reminds me of a line from the Dudley Moore classic comedy “Arthur,” when Arthur’s fiancee tells the lovable drunk that “a real woman can stop you from drinking.”

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

ssues The Parker Police Department is searcholiti-ing for a possible police impersonator who deol-pulled a woman over on a busy road in the middle of the day. con- Investigators have ruled out traffic stops theby the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado State Patrol and nearby agencies beenafter a woman was pulled over at 10:30 a.m. nt forMarch 19 on South Parker Road near Pine goingLane. She told the Parker police that a man in a black pickup truck with flashing red o doand blue lights accused her of speeding and ork? asked for her personal information. a line The location and time of day of the inciy “Ar-dent have alarmed authorities. lov- “I can’t speculate on his intentions, but p youit was a pretty brazen act if it wasn’t an officer,” said Dawn Cashman, public inforrthurmation officer for the Parker Police Department. for The possible impersonator is described n beas a “clean cut” white male in his late 30s nity-to early 40s, standing 5 feet 11 inches to 6 er: @feet tall and weighing 180- 200 lbs. He has short sandy brown hair and a goatee, and was wearing blue jeans, a black jacket and a blue or gray colored t-shirt. The woman also saw a large silver toolbox in the bed of the truck and an extension ladder that stretched from the truck bed over the cab.

Detectives are hoping the public can shed more light on the suspect and want anyone who has experienced similar contact to come forward with information. The woman wasn’t going to report the incident until she later told the story to a friend, who convinced her to go to police, Cashman said.

Motorists driving past the scene at that time are also being asked to contact the police at 303-841-9800. The silver toolbox and extension ladder, possibly yellow, are identifying characteristics that residents might recognize as belonging to a friend or neighbor, she said. Investigators are eager to talk to the man to determine his intent.

“We don’t want any other criminal acts,” Cashman said.

The penalty for impersonating an officer was raised from a misdemeanor to a felony after Fort Collins resident Lacy Miller, 20, was kidnapped and murdered in 2003 by a man posing as a police officer. Using red and blue lights is a class 1 misdemeanor.

The recent stop is a reminder of a 2010 case in Castle Rock in which a woman was driving on a busy road and was sexually assaulted. A man was later arrested and charged.

Police have a particular dislike for the latest impersonation case because it “undermines law enforcement,” Cashman said.

The possible impersonator, whose red and blue flashers were at the top and bottom of the windshield, did not issue a ticket and instead gave the woman a warning about speeding.

It is “scary” that the victim provided her information, she said, but there are tips to help avoid direct contact with a suspicious person. Cashman said motorists who believe they are being pulled over by a fake cop should call 9-1-1 and turn on their hazard lights. Dispatchers can determine whether it is a legitimate officer following.

Motorists should drive to a gas station or well-lit parking lot and only slightly roll the window down. The person being pulled over can request that the officer send a marked patrol car, and tell the officer that they are on the phone with police to confirm their authenticity. Impersonators will typically flee immediately if they know real officers are en route, Cashman said.

South Metro Chamber president resigns Brackney leaves suddenly after a decade at helm

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com John Brackney, president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, unexpectedly announced his resignation via email to chamber members March 24.

“In order for the chamber to take new steps, the time has come for me to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders. I am resigning as CEO,” he wrote. “It has been an awesome ride, one I have appreciated and cherished every day. Admittedly imperfect but always driven, I hope I have made some small contribution to the success in your business and your life. My greater hope is that we all re-commit to building an increasingly vibrant business community and quality of life.”

Herm Brocksmith, the chamber’s chairman of the board, declined to comment on reasons Brackney might be leaving, calling his leadership an inspiration to other mem-

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 Brackney available for comment.

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

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.”

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 is on schedule, according to the DCSO. The entire expansion project began in August 2012.

The expansion project also includes a parking garage, which was completed in November, to ease overcrowding in the 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 addictions. 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,” Under-

A construction worker uses an excavator to move dirt on March 20 outside of the site of the county jail’s new medical facility, which is due to be finished in June. The entire project, projected to cost $25 million, is on schedule to be complete in November. Photos by Hannah Garcia sheriff 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.

As part of the expansion, plans call for a recreation area (pictured) with grated windows that allow in fresh air.

Schedule Continued from Page 1

“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 what that can do for kids.”

HRHS’ 2014-15 schedule will be a modified version of the 5-of-7, so-called 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-of7 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, that will return, Goings said.

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

By Vic Vela

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 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,”

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 money 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

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

Rich Robbins is sworn in as the newest member of the Douglas County board of education by president Kevin Larsen, right. Photo by Jane Reuter 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 an-

nounced 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.

Public comment policy changes at school board meetings 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.

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.

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.

‘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.”

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

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 helping the federal government measure and reduce its energy waste.

We believe these efforts represent winwins for government, the private sector and taxpayers, since as Mr. Gardner stated, “the cheapest energy is the energy we don’t use.”

Revenue forecast looking good TABOR technicality could give pot tax refunds to taxpayers

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Colorado’s economy grew stronger in 2013 and that momentum is expected to continue through the coming years, factors that will contribute to a state general fund budget for next year that will exceed original forecasts, state economists said on March 18.

But not all the news that came out of the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee briefing was rosy. While much of the state is doing better post-recession, other areas continue to struggle.

And lawmakers lamented the continuing budget challenges that come as a result of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights — including a TABOR problem involving marijuana tax revenue that the Legislature may end up having to deal with soon.

The JBC was briefed on Colorado’s economic outlook by the state’s budget director and staff from the Colorado Legislaosi- tive Council. Their reports are an essential component for the committee to consider heckwhen they craft the state’s spending plan — arkera budget that is expected to be about $20.5 billion.

While the economists’ revenue forecasts cy differed slightly, they all agreed that Coloe rado’s economy is on healthy footing.

“Over the past year, household wealth ict has grown because of increases in home prices and recent gains in the stock market,” said Louis Pino of the Legislative Council. es “As a result, consumer spending has ime a proved, especially on big-ticket items like cing furniture and vehicles. U.S. corporations continue to post strong profits, the equity ng market posted its best gains in years, inflaced tion remains benign and the global econoe re- my, especially in the Eurozone, appears to and have turned a corner for the better.” ough The budget forecast for the 2014-15 fiscal year will be $61 million higher than what was originally predicted. And, after money s, try d d

r has es in us re

‘This is confounding. TABOR told us to let the voters decide. The voters have decided, and their wishes may be frustrated by something hidden in the TABOR amendment.’

Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver is set aside for an increased state reserve fund, about $75 million will be left over for bills that are currently waiting to be appropriated — an “up-for-grabs” amount that is certain to lead to battles among lawmakers in the coming weeks.

Priorities for that money include helping flood and wildfire victims and more funding for K-12 and higher education. After that, there is a guessing game as to which of the many bills that have yet to be appropriated become funded.

“There are a lot of competing priorities within the budget, so as we’ve said from the start we have to be prudent in how we allocate the resources of the state,” House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, said the day after the forecast was released. “We are not going to be able to pass every idea and bill through the Legislature.”

The state’s general fund budget for the next fiscal year is expected to be $9.2 billion, higher than the current fiscal year’s revenue projection of $8.8 billion.

Driving the healthy economic forecast is a 27-week streak of consecutive job growth and a state unemployment rate that is currently 6.1 percent. While the unemployment rate has dropped, “the state’s labor market added jobs at the fastest rate in seven years,” according to the Legislative Council.

Meanwhile, wages and salaries grew 4.7 percent last year and personal income is expected to improve during the 204-15 fiscal year, economists said.

The current fiscal year will also yield a general fund surplus of $257 million, most of which — about $170 million — will be transferred to the State Education Fund.

Funding for education will increase through the annual School Finance Act and accompanying bills aimed at pumping more money into K-12 and higher education. Those dollar amounts are still being negotiated.

While the Denver metro area and much of the Front Range is experiencing economic growth in many areas, other parts of the state aren’t faring as well. For Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the Western Slope, including Grand Junction, growth has been “sluggish,” according to Louis Pino of the Legislative Council.

TABOR trouble

As for marijuana tax revenue that is coming in as a result of Proposition AA, $54.7 million will be pumped into the 201415 fiscal year.

But while that revenue amount is less than what was originally projected by Prop AA proponents, the state may end up having to cut refund checks to Colorado taxpayers for that money.

A TABOR technicality may require the state to issue pot revenue refunds — even though voters intended for money that’s collected from marijuana tax money to go toward school construction and the cost of pot industry regulations.

TABOR is generally thought of as a statute that requires all tax hikes be approved by the voters. But the technical clause also includes an area that requires the state to issue tax refunds when state spending exceeds expectations that are included in voter information material that is sent out each election, otherwise called the “Blue Book.”

That seems to be the case this year, and lawmakers are trying to figure out how to deal with it.

“This is confounding,” said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver.

“TABOR told us to let the voters decide.

The voters have decided, and their wishes may be frustrated by something hidden in the TABOR amendment.”

Lawmakers could issue refunds for the marijuana tax money or they may end up having to go back to the voters to ask if they can keep it — something for which the voters already gave permission.

Ferrandino said it is likely that the Legislature will deal with this issue before the session is out.

The concern over marijuana revenues isn’t the only TABOR-related monkey wrench that lawmakers have had to deal with this session. They ran into problems with flood recovery money because counties wouldn’t be able to take state reimbursements, out of concern that the money would cause them to hit their TABOR spending limits. The state will instead fund the money through different means.

Those issues caused JBC members to rail against TABOR. Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, the committee chairwoman, said TABOR has caused the state “major problems” that has tied budgets into “fiscal knots.”

And one Republican said the recent TABOR issues have caused her to change her perspective on the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

“I have to tell you, quite honestly, the more I learn about TABOR, particularly what it did to the floods and our counties, the less and less I like it and the more insidious I believe it’s been to state government,” said Rep. Cheri Gerou, R-Evergreen.

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

inBy Vic Vela r vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com ated, don’t Legislation that would have banned the sale of cigarettes to people younger than 21 Smit died in a House committee on March 19. unty The bill received support from those strict 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 anti-smoking 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.

“To say that these people cannot make 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 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.

Chase suspect charged with attempted murder Centennial man faces 26 total criminal counts for pursuit

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com The suspect in a high-speed chase that ended in Douglas County faces 26 criminal charges, including attempted first-degree murder.

Ryan Cole Stone, 28, was arrested March 12 after crashing the last of three stolen vehicles into an unsuspecting driver at Lincoln Avenue near Peoria Street. Stone

looked much different one week later, when he appeared in a Castle Rock courtroom March 19 in shackles and a red jumpsuit to hear the list of charges filed by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

In addition to one count of attempted first-degree homicide for allegedly trying to strike Colorado State Patrol Trooper Bellaman Stone Hee with a vehicle, Stone has been charged with first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, robbery, vehicular eluding and three counts of aggravated car theft. He also faces

charges of child abuse, theft, vehicular assault and six counts of leaving the scene of an accident.

Hee was laying down a spike strip moments before being struck on E-470 near Chambers Road. He escaped more serious injuries by leaping out of the direct path of the van Stone was allegedly driving. Footage of the dramatic chase was captured by a KOA news helicopter and played out on live television.

Stone, of Centennial, was kept in the hospital overnight for observation. Officials say he sustained minor injuries from a series of crashes during the pursuit.

Stone was charged with kidnapping because the first vehicle he allegedly stole in

Longmont was occupied by Allan Chavarria-Rodriguez, 4, who was left in a running red 2008 Ford Edge. Officers backed off the chase several times because Stone was reportedly driving erratically with the toddler inside.

Prosecutors say he stole two more vehicles by force. No one else was injured.

Trooper Nate Reid, public information officer for the state patrol, said authorities were relieved that the pursuit, which reached speeds of more than 100 mph, did not result in more injuries or deaths.

Stone’s next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. May 29 at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock.

Kiowa man killed following Douglas County plane crash Wreck kills pilot, ignites twoacre grass fire near home Staff report The Douglas County coroner identified a Kiowa man as the pilot killed in a small plane crash in northeastern Douglas County.

Gregory Dirk Pelley, 53, died after his twin-engine plane crashed in a field, about 100 feet from a home near Otero Drive and Phillips Place, shortly before 5 p.m. March 19. Coroner Lora Thomas said Pelley died from multiple blunt-force in-

juries.

The fiery wreckage sparked a grass fire that grew to two acres before being contained by four different fire agencies.

Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration were at the scene March 20 combing through the pieces of the plane. The tail of the aircraft, with a registration number clearly visible, was the largest intact part of the plane.

The crash occurred near Inspiration Drive and Piney Lake Road, about a mile away from the site where another small plane hit the ground in August 2012. The pilot of that plane survived.

First-grade teacher hooked on change Sand Creek educator gives kids more control

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 what you’re doing.”

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

“I love teaching,” Schumacher said.

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

Coffman talks small business at chamber Representative brings House committee chair to roundtable

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-and-wait 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 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

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 environment,” said Graves.

“The abuse of power seems to be getting worse.”

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 industry, which he said is more concentrated in the south-metro region than anywhere else in the country.

Coffman noted he’s working with Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet on a bill that would do away with limits on exporting satellite technology.

“We assume we have such a competitive edge and always will that we don’t want to export any technology that could be used against us,” he said.

“And any component part falls under that regulation.”

Suicides spur alumni to act

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Kate Muus was a 16-yearold Douglas County High School student when she lost one of her friends to suicide. The Castle Rock

resident now is the mother of a 2-year-old, but her heart is still with the students at DCHS. Four Douglas County teens were lost to suicide between Jan. 31 and Feb. 11 — a number 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 Butter-

“As alumni, there was this feeling that we need to help these kids,” Muus said.

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.”

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.

Civil Rights struggles discussed in Littleton Monthly events combine historic film clips and conversation

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle” is a series of four monthly meetings on Tuesday evenings intended to discuss a particular aspect of the nation’s civil rights history.

Each session is preceded by a Sunday screening of a related film and clips from that film are repeated on Tuesdays for those (the majority) who have not seen the entire film. Discussion in the two-hour session is led by Patricia L. Richard, Ph.D., Associate Professor of History at Metropolitan State University.

About 30 have attended the first two meetings: “The Abolitionists” and “Slavery

By Another Name.”

Registration is requested for those who may choose to join in midway. Each unit is complete in its presentation, so that should be possible.

Call 303-795-3961 if interested. The next time the group meets, at 7 p.m. April 2, will bring a focus on Littleton and its Littleton Human Relations Council, an organization that urged fairness in housing in the 1960s, arranged interracial meetings and potlucks and hosted Dr. Martin Luther King on one special day.

Retired pediatrician Dr. Charles Fraser will be a special guest to talk about the organization his wife and he, with others in the community, founded.

The film referenced in this meeting, which will be shown at the Bemis Library at 2 p.m. the preceding Sunday, March 31, is “The Loving Story,” a documentary pieced

together by Nancy Buiriski from film found after the incident plus related interviews.

Mildred and Richard Loving were married in Washington D.C. and then moved to their home state of Virginia. Late at night in July 1958, they were arrested in their bedroom and sentenced to one-year prison sentences because Virginia had an anti-miscegenation law, forbidding mixed marriages. (She was Black and American Indian. He was white.) They were allowed to move to Washington D.C instead of serving the sentence, but were unable to make family trips to visit parents and friends in Virginia.

When Mildred talked to a cousin about her frustration with being exiled, she was

advised to write to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who in turn referred her to the American Civil Liberties Union, where a pair of young lawyers took on the case and eventually appealed to the U.S Supreme Court — which ruled unanimously in 1967 that a ban on interracial marriage interfered with Federal rights guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.

(Readers can find a 20-minute excerpt from the Oscar-nominated film online.)

The final meeting in the series will be on May 7, with the topic of “Freedom Riders” and guest Carlotta Walls LaNier, one of the “Little Rock Nine” who started integration of that school under a national spotlight.

The series is free, but pre-registration is required.

It is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, with support from the Colorado Humanities Council to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Readers will remember the story about the miller (Brian Landis Folkins) who tells the king that his pampered daughter (Adrian Egolf) knows how to spin gold from straw.

When the king finds his treasury is

pretty much depleted, he takes the miller up on his boast and leads the daughter to a room filled with piles of straw, which makes her frantic.

The elfish little man Rumpelstiltskin (Rachel Graham) appears and offers to spin the straw into gold in exchange for her firstborn child after she becomes the princess who marries the prince.

Also in the cast: Lindsey Pierce as the queen and Missy Moore as Mess.

Nothing homey in hometown tale ‘Good People’ plays at Curious Theatre

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Scene I of David Lindsay-Abaire’s “Good People” opens in a trashy South Boston alley behind the Dollar Store — the only private office space that store manager Stevie (John Juracheck) can find to tell Margie (Dee Covington) that he’s letting her go. Seems she’s late every day — always with an excuse that she can’t leave her disabled adult daughter alone — and Stevie’s boss has said “enough!”

“How about trying Gillette?” (a large manufacturing plant for razors). Stevie says he’ll ask his brother who works there.

Margie rages and whines, claims it’s because she’s paid above minimum wage and in no way takes any blame. There’s a disconnect

from the start with any sort of work ethic — she talks about luck, or lack of it. This is a play about class differences, with wry twists by Lindsay-Abaire, who grew up in South Boston and understands the territory.

Dee Covington has the speech and mannerisms of her character, Margaret, nailed. As do her neighbors Jeanie (Leslie O’Carroll) and plain-spoken landlord Dottie (Kathryn Gray). They commiserate with her and try to think about a solution to her dilemma. They are “good people.”

Jeanie has just seen Mike (Michael McNeil), an old boyfriend of Margaret’s, at a dinner where she was serving. He is now a doctor. She suggests: “Why don’t you go ask him for a job?”

Savvy director Christy Montour Larson keeps the focus intense throughout. It’s not a comfortable/ cozy night for the audience — but then Pulitzer winner Lindsay-Abaire doesn’t

Margaret pushes her way into Mike’s office and he too suggests Gillette, and she accuses him of being “Lace Curtain” (not a kind thing to say). He suggests she come to a party he and his wife are having in their Chest-

nut Hill home — a wealthy neighborhood.

There are underlying issues at play here and he asks “Did you get mean, Margie?

You’re good people.”

Act II opens at Mike’s impressive house with discord between the doctor and his

wife, Kate (Betty Hart), a literature professor at Boston University — and black. He had called Margie to say the party was canceled and she appears anyhow — hearing what she wants to hear.

The staging and lighting are impressive for this production, with massive set pieces that wheel and turn and change magically from alley to classy home, with a shove from the cast and crew.

Company’s growth based on precision Brown’s Compounding finds new home near E-470 and Peoria

WHAT IS COMPOUNDING? Compounding involves the mixing of raw ingredients of medications deemed appropriate by a physician or prescriber to meet a patient’s specific needs. The raw chemicals are mixed into final dosage form and given based on the recommendations of the prescriber.

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Television viewers have probably noticed in recent years that ads for prescription drugs contain more warnings about side effects than information about the product.

Darby Brown, meanwhile, has built a team of pharmacy technicians, patient-care specialists and other experts whose job it is to find ways to avoid the disadvantages of taking traditional pharmaceuticals. Brown’s Compounding Center is a company that grew out of its two Parker locations over the last nine years and recently moved into a 38,000-square-foot building on Compark Boulevard in unincorporated northern Douglas County.

It’s riding a groundswell of interest and expanding by leaps and bounds. That’s because more attention has been turned to precise dosing and alternative delivery methods.

“We try to figure out how we can work around the issues and how we want it delivered without causing those symptoms or side effects,” Brown says.

The staff gets “creative” when crafting, for example, medications that are transdermal (absorbed through the skin) or sublingual (applied under the tongue).

There’s an increasing number of ways to administer prescribed drugs that don’t compromise any benefits to the patient. Topical

A pharmacy technician carefully measures out the components of a medication at Brown’s Compounding March 17. The company has moved from Parker to a 38,000-square-foot facility off Compark Boulevard in northern Douglas County. Photo by Chris Michlewicz pain management meds that are rubbed on the wrist are becoming a popular alternative to narcotic therapy, avoiding the risk of abuse and illicit trade, Brown said.

While still being regulated by the Colorado State Board of Pharmacy and using wholesalers that are vetted and overseen by the Food and Drug Administration and Drug Enforcement Administration, Brown’s Compounding’s

independence and diminutive size relative to big pharmaceutical companies affords it the opportunity to shift with trends and demands.

“We’re a little more nimble being a small company, versus a major player in the pharma industry that has to go through the FDA approval process and spend millions of dollars without getting anything on the market,” Brown said.

Emerging band to help creative district Unlikely Candidates to play April 25 at PACE Center

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s an apropos name for the main attraction at an upcoming show at Parker’s top performing arts venue.

The Unlikely Candidates, an up-andcoming indie-rock band enjoying increasing airplay and exposure at large festivals, is stopping by the Parker Arts, Culture and Events — or PACE — Center April 25. And it’s not just younger generations reaping the benefits of the visit.

Some of the proceeds from the concert will go toward Parker’s creative arts district, which is headed by a motivated steering committee of residents, business professionals and elected officials. Organizers hope to raise about $8,000 in funding to later be used to match grants, said Elaine Mariner, Parker was named as an “emerging creative district” in 2012, but the group is applying to the state for official certification as a creative district, which requires it to raise money to pay for things like marketing, website maintenance and new special events. The designation would amplify the town’s presence in the Colorado arts community and qualify it for state funding.

The PACE Center has traditionally booked music acts long past their heyday, but still touring and able to draw a nostalgic crowd — acts like Air Supply and Spyro Gyra. It has yet to host a band with a young following. Mariner characterized the book-

FIVE W’S AND ONE H Who: Unlikely Candidates, Viretta What: Music concert When: 7:30 p.m.

Where: PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave. Why: Fun, raise money for creative district How much: $25 per ticket

At the rate business is going, however, Brown might soon count the big players as competition.

When the company was featured

by Colorado Community Media in early 2005, Brown had one employee. The staff has since grown to more than 100, and Brown predicts that number will balloon to 250-300 within five years.

The company celebrated its new location near E-470 and Peo-

ria Street with a ribbon cutting and reception March 18.

There is 20,000 square feet of shelled space in the Brown’s Compounding building to allow for future expansion. Being in 38 states and counting, it will probably be put to use sooner rather than later.

Brown’s Compounding is involved in everything from hormone replacement to pediatric formulations to veterinary medications. It also prepares compounds in a sterile environment to create drugs that are injected and administered via eye or ear drops.

The company brought in the latest technological equipment in part to protect patients against some of the more common issues in compounding, such as miscalculations and cross-contamination. Brown’s Compounding uses sophisticated software and barcoding systems to track every bit of the chemicals.

With exact dosage adjustments and unconventional forms of application comes a slightly higher cost, but it’s often worth it to those who want to circumvent the risk of trial-and-error to get their health back on track.

“There’s a lot of need and a lot of demand out there for customized medications,” Brown says.

ing as a “fun risk.”

“It’s a younger audience we know, but they’re a very popular band right now,” Mariner said.

The timing lined up perfectly, with schedules for both the band and the PACE Center surprisingly being open April 25. The show has been orchestrated by Don Mack, a longtime Parker resident and member of the creative district’s executive committee.

“It was Don’s idea. He’s a very active volunteer,” Mariner said. “The executive committee is really kind of grabbing hold and moving (the district) forward in a giant leap this year.”

Mack says he’s hoping to help create a “real sustaining vision” to raise capital and develop the downtown area into an arts mecca. If successful, he says the Unlikely Candidates show could be a “stepping stone” to a larger annual festival that builds recognition and draws people to Parker.

Viretta, a four-piece alternative-rock band whose members attended Chaparral High School, will be the opener, Mack said.

The Town of Parker is donating the use of the facility to benefit the creative district.

The district steering committee is having a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. March 26 at the PACE Center to recruit new members and discuss projects and plans.

Jaguars off to stellar start Rock Canyon’s Chris Givin

at om using arm, bat to propel team m. tive By Jim Benton f 25 jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com l.

-662Junior Chris Givin made his first start for the Rock Canyon varsity baseball team and it was unforgettable.

Givin, the Jaguars’ shortstop, will be The given some starting assignments on the at ed mound this season after making a few relief tes, appearances during the 2013 season.

He pitched well in his three-inning demal VP to but as a starter in a 16-2, five-inning romp over Rampart on March 21 in a non-league game played at Rock Canyon.

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.”

Snow shortens Sabercat Invitational Late-afternoon flakes halt track and field competition

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Mother Nature brought the snow as officials prepared for the high hurdles and they made the decision to halt competition at the Sabercats Invitational Track Meet held March 22 at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker.

Temperatures hovered in the mid-30s during the meet and the arrival of snow led to the decision to close the event down.

During the meet, every athlete focused on winning plus every athlete and spectator focused on staying warm as temperatures hovered just above freezing.

Groups huddled together for warmth, individuals wrapped themselves in blankets and some even crawled into sleeping bags in efforts to keep warm in the stands and around the track.

“This meet was in question and we had a few teams decide not to come today,” Ryan Whitenack, meet director and Castle View track coach, said while competition was still underway. “It is chilly but, since there was no snow, we went ahead with the meet to provide a chance for the teams and athletes to compete. Snow, along with these temperatures, may mean we cut things short. ” Ponderosa runner Sarah Lark smiled and said she was glad to be running against other teams.

“It is chilly but I think it is good weather to run,” she said after competing in the 4x200 relay. “Today was fun. Our team didn’t do as well as we can do but this is my

event and it was a good race.”

Twenty-five teams registered for the event and 17 took part in the meet. Bill Knipmeyer, a Littleton assistant coach, said the invitational was a good opportunity for Lion athletes to match their talents against top-caliber competition.

“The weather hasn’t been good to us this spring so I am glad this meet went on as scheduled,” he said. “I think this is the first chance for some of our young kids to see what they can do at this level of competition.”

Trey Smith, who ran the 100-meter dash for Douglas County, said the cold temperatures made his muscles tight and he didn’t feel as good as he would have if it had been warmer.

“Still, everyone facing the competing in the same weather conditions so it was still fun to run today,” he said. “I knew going in that, in this weather, I wouldn’t have a great time but I did run pretty well I think.”

He did run well as he won the event with a time of 11.06 seconds.

The results posted online were limited and didn’t include boys team scores. In the girls division, Cherry Creek finished first with 68 points, Fountain-Fort Carson was second with 54 points and Castle View was third with 51 points.

Arapahoe was eighth, Douglas County was 11th, Elizabeth was 12th and Littleton was 17th.

Fountain-Fort Carson won the boys team title with 82 points and Cherry Creek scored 65 points to finish second.

Chaparral and Douglas County tied for fourth place with 30 points each while Castle View, Elizabeth and Arapahoe each scored 27 points and were tied for seventh place. Littleton finished 14th and Ponderosa was 15th.

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.
