Mix-up with keepsake watch leads to painful loss Sentimental piece from father was switched out to customer at Highlands Ranch shop BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A routine trip to a watch-service shop turned into a heart-rending ordeal when an employee handed Kathy Melchior a watch. Problem is, it wasn’t her watch — and by the time they had realized the mix-up, it was too late, and another customer had walked off with Melchior’s watch. The missing watch is an old gift from her father, who died in 1991 at age 61 after a three-month fight with brain cancer. It’s the only possession Melchior has left from her dad, aside from his wedding ring. Her grandson was to have the watch through her son, Melchior said. “I was devastated, needless to say,” said Melchior, 67, who has lived at her house in Centennial for about 40 years. Melchior and another woman waited in the showroom at Right Time International Watch Center at 7110 E. County Line Road for their watches to be serviced — an employee said the other woman was getting a new

PHOTOS COURTESY OF KATHY MELCHIOR battery for her father’s watch too — and Melchior saw what looked like her watch being given to the other customer. “I thought, really, that’s (weird),” because the band looked the same, Melchior said. Two employees tried to walk outside and catch the other woman to correct the mix-up, but she had already pulled away, Melchior said. The store couldn’t give Melchior her name or

phone number because she had paid with a punch card that offers a reward system for repeat customers. In the month since that incident, Melchior has tried to track down the watch, contacting local news outlets and asking the shop for a picture of the woman. She was told the store can’t release an image of the woman because she didn’t do anything wrong. “And I completely agree with them,” Melchior said, noting that Right Time

has been helpful and offered to give her a replacement watch. “They said they reviewed the films.” The other customer didn’t look down at the watch before she left, according to the footage, Melchior said. The other woman’s watch is a Citizen brand watch with “Nikolas” engraved on the back, Melchior said, while Melchior’s missing watch is a two-toned Seiko that’s rounder. The other woman’s watch is at the shop, she added. Monica Barrett, manager at Right Time, said she’s confident the other customer will turn up again. “She’s definitely a return customer because (we) recognized she was in two weeks prior” to the mix-up, said Barrett, who has reached out to check in with Melchior periodically in the past weeks. The shop posted on its Facebook page in hopes the customer would see, but no luck so far. If she comes back to the store, everyone on staff might jump on her the moment she comes to the door, Barrett said with a laugh. “I know it sucks — I feel so bad for Kathy,” she added. Melchior is hopeful that getting the word out will get the watch to turn up, and she still feels positive about the shop. “I would go back,” Melchior said. “I just hope they change their policy, that they take names while people are waiting so that this doesn’t happen again.” Kathy Melchior’s watch was given to her by her father. Melchior is seeking the lost watch after a mix-up at a local watch shop.

STEM students get lessons in using internet safely Educator shares knowledge with children from kindergarten through fifth grade BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Simi Basu stood at the front of a colorful classroom at STEM School Highlands Ranch and asked a group of exuberant first-graders a series of questions. “What personal information should you not share on the internet?” she asked. Hands shot up as kids shouted answers. “Your phone number,” one said. “Address,” said another. “Your age,” said a third. Basu, a middle-school teacher, periodically travels to classrooms ranging from kindergarten through fifth grade to teach students about cyber security, or computer system safety. Her lessons involve a quick lecture on topics like network security, operating systems and future careers. Then she leads an activity, which differs for every class. Kindergartners play bingo and matching games. Fifth-graders practice computer coding. Cyber security can be scary, said Basu, who teaches computer science

First-graders at STEM School Highlands Ranch show off their cyber security certificates after a lesson from Simi Basu. The middle school teacher periodically visits classrooms of grades kindergarten through fifth to teach students about Internet safety. ALEX DEWIND and coaches the school’s cyber security teams. The week of Feb. 12, two of her five teams won first and second place at a statewide competition that involved six hours of fixing viruses, detecting vulnerabilities on the web and improving hardware systems. “When they start young, that fright goes away,” said Basu. “Their minds

take to these things really quick.” The topic is advanced for the young students — some schools don’t start teaching cyber security until middle or high school. For Basu, a former business operations manager at IBM, acquiring internet safety skills at a young age is invaluable. Her goal is to make students aware of the range of

career opportunities in the field. At a recent lesson on Feb. 15, the class of first grade students seemed to be equally as excited about cyber security as their teacher. “I’m going to make sure everything is safe,” said 7-year-old Sebastian Kindrick as he showed off his new certificate.

Freezin’ for a reason Lone Tree officers join Polar Plunge to support Special Olympics BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Despite sub-freezing temperatures, seven members of the Lone Tree Police Department plunged into the Aurora Reservoir on Feb. 10 during the annual Aurora Reservoir Polar Plunge event, which benefits Special Olympics Colorado. Sgt. Joe Deland headed the team of chilly champions, who raised $1,600 for Special Olympics Colorado. “It was freezing. It was about 15 degrees and like swimming in frozen

slush,” said Deland. “The worst part was running out in the cold air.” Deland said he’s been participating in the event since he joined the department in 2009, and although he doesn’t like the freezing part, it’s well worth the sacrifice to support the athletes. “These athletes go through so much just to compete, and every day in their lives. A few minutes of freezing and being uncomfortable is worth it,” said Deland. Officers collected donations from friends and family members, and each paid $75 to participate. Those who didn’t care to jump into the freezing water could “hibernate” and still raise money. The event helps more than 23,000 Special Olympics athletes in Colorado.

Local, national issues loom large in race for governor BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Affordable housing. Crowded highways. Crumbling roads. More money for schools. A safe retirement for public employees. The fate of young immigrants. The issues stretch across rural and urban lines, promising to focus the 2018 governor’s race on what matters most to local residents. But in the eyes of Eric Sondermann, a Colorado commentator who made a name for himself analyzing public opinion, another key element also will affect the outcome: President Donald Trump. Some experts say his hard-line stances on legal immigration and undocumented immigrants who arrived as children — and even his character and behavior — could wind up handing Republicans a handicap and force them to decide how far to the fringe they’ll go. GOP leaders from metro-area coun-

ties, however, see things differently. Some say Trump won’t be a factor and that Coloradans will be focused on local issues. Others maintain he could benefit Republicans’ efforts to get elected. Just how much any issue — local or national — will color the contest remains to be seen. Here’s what political experts and party officials around Colorado have to say about the governor’s race that voters will decide in November. Where budget meets the road “You ever try to get on I-25 on Friday at rush hour?” asked Joe Webb, Jefferson County Republican Party chair. “When it takes people an hour and a half to get from Lakewood to Westminster, they’re gonna want everything fixed.” That concern, along with spending on education and Colorado’s public-

pension program, PERA, will be top state-specific issues in the race, according to party chairs, a state Democratic Party official and political pundits. “Fix the roads without any increase in taxes, and I think that’s very, very doable,” Webb said. State lawmakers have recently pointed to hundreds of millions of dollars in previously unanticipated state revenues that could be divvied up different ways. In a state with a booming population, Eric Walker, spokesman for the Colorado Democratic Party, said his party’s candidates would support an “ambitious infrastructure plan” — Democratic state lawmakers have supported a bill based partly on a sales-and-use-tax increase of less than 1 percent to raise money for transportation spending — and expand affordable-housing tax credits to mitigate rising costs.

On another hand, fracking, energy development and environmental issues have more traction here than in other states, said Sondermann, a political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion. U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, “will clearly be pinned as an environmental extremist with an energy policy that will hurt Colorado,” said Tom Peterson, Elbert County Republican Party chair. The Public Employment Retirement Association, known as PERA, which provides retirement and other benefits to employees of government and public entities in Colorado, is more than $30 billion underfunded, and Republicans and Democrats are likely to fight over how to address the problem. “PERA and making it stable is number 2” in issues that will affect the race, SEE GOVERNOR, P10

Parties look for front-runners to emerge in crowded field Some big names who left the race would have been among the favorites for governor BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo — known for his hardline stance against illegal immigration — was shaping up to be the GOP front-runner for this year’s governor’s race, some pundits believe. Then, Tancredo dropped out of the race Jan. 30 due to lower-than-desired fundraising. On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder — who pushes for Colorado to transition to 100 percent renewable energy use by 2040 — has emerged as a favorite, according to some pundits and polling. Polis and former state Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, are leading the Democrats’ in campaign donations with about $1.5 million each. On the Republican side, state Treasurer Walker Stapleton held the top fundraising spot with about $1 million. But in a packed field, the path to the nomination isn’t plowed clear. Joe Webb, Jefferson County Republican Party chair, said after Tancredo’s exit, Stapleton, a second-cousin of former President George W. Bush, appears to have the top spot on the GOP side. “Followed by Victor Mitchell and maybe (state Attorney General) Cynthia Coffman,” Webb said. In Webb’s analysis, Stapleton, Coffman, former state Rep. Mitchell, who is a businessman from Castle Rock, and Doug Robinson — Mitt Romney’s nephew — would have petitioned to be candidates on the ballot rather than

The following are the gubernatorial candidates who have received the largest amount of campaign donations, according to figures available through the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office as of Feb. 13: • Jared Polis, Boulder, Democrat: $1.5 million • Mike Johnston, Denver, Democrat: $1.5 million

• Walker Stapleton, Denver, Republican: $1 million • Cary Kennedy, Denver, Democrat: $839,835 • Noel Ginsburg, Denver, Democrat: $686,521 • Donna Lynne, Denver, Democrat $673,741 • Doug Robinson, Centennial, Republican: $360,763 • Cynthia Coffman, Denver, Republican: $99,969

try to beat Tancredo for the traditional party assembly vote, the state counterpart to the national party conventions that select presidential nominees. “Everyone expected him to overwhelmingly win the assembly,” Webb said. “The fact that (he dropped out) means the assembly is up for grabs in a big, big way. “Somebody’s gonna have to fill the void that Tancredo supporters had.” Tancredo set up a potential split in the party, according to Webb. That Tancredo was willing to get out of the race when he was a front-runner was a “selfless act” to ensure the nomi-

• Victor Mitchell, Castle Rock, Republican: *$30,589 • Lew Gaiter, Larimer County, Republican: $10,707 • Greg Lopez, Elizabeth, Republican: $9,748 • Stephen Barlock, Denver, Republican: $5,836 *Mitchell is largely financing his own campaign and has $2.2 million on hand.

nee wouldn’t repel some Republican voters in the general election, Webb said, but he also knows 50 or 60 people who left the GOP and came back to the party because Tancredo was the nominee. For Democrats, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Arvada would have been a top contender before he dropped out of the race, said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion. George Brauchler, the 18th Judicial District Attorney in counties south of Denver, could have

been a top GOP name, Sondermann said, but he pulled out too, opting to run for state attorney general. “I’ve never seen a race quite so fluid, in which top-tier candidates literally drop like flies,” Sondermann said. Polis is expected to be a finalist, but former Colorado state Treasurer Cary Kennedy could put up a fight, as well as Johnston, Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne and manufacturing businessman Noel Ginsburg, Sondermann said. On the Republican side, Stapleton won’t win “without a fair degree of sweat,” he added. “Coffman seems to be well positioned,” but she hasn’t surrounded herself with a top-notch campaign team, Sondermann said. “So no one can quite figure out Coffman’s campaign at this time.” Mitchell has the ability to self-fund his campaign, like Polis could, making him a contender, Sondermann said. Robinson is a “very credible businessman, but he may be too moderate in a very conservative party,” he added. The GOP around the nation is currently a staunchly anti-establishment, President Donald Trump-driven group, Sondermann said. “I think Democratic turnout in these primaries is going to be significantly higher than GOP turnout,” Sondermann said. Six of the last 10 governors, dating back to 1951, have been Democrats. The state’s next governor will replace Democrat John Hickenlooper, who has reached his two-term limit. In 2016, Colorado voted for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over Trump by about five points, even as Trump won the country, Sonderman noted. He hasn’t seen anything that suggests it’s more favorable to Trump or those aligned with him than it was in 2016. “Colorado has been becoming a lightblue state,” Sondermann said, “but 2018 could potentially be a deep-blue year.”

Young library patrons explore flight in Lone Tree Slick Science teaches kids about planes, hot-air balloons BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jenna Blinci, 9, knew a lot about paper airplanes before she attended the Slick Science program at the Douglas County Libraries’ Lone Tree branch Feb. 16. She attended the class hoping to get more knowledge about how paper airplanes work, and apply some of her theories to making them work better. “There are actually four different kind of paper planes,” said Blinci. “There is a glider, a jet, a dart and a bug. I don’t know why they call it a bug, but it’s kind of small so I guess it could kind of look like a bug.” Blinci and two dozen other children spent the afternoon at the library experimenting with paper airplanes under the direction of Dana DeJongBoots, a librarian at the Lone Tree branch who presents the Slick Science program. Students were tasked with making four different airplanes, each made of different material. Kids presented a hypothesis about which plane they thought would fly better. Planes were made out of cardstock, paper, aluminum foil and wax paper. “What do you think makes the best airplane?” Asked DeJong-Boots. “Fly straight,” “do tricks” and “not crash,” were responses from the crowd.

Jenna Blinci, 9, gets help building a hot-air balloon from Carol Schlueter, patron services technician at the Douglas County Libraries’ Lone Tree branch, during the Slick Science program.

Brother and sister Gavyn and Kai Moots, both 7, team up during the Slick Science program at the Douglas County Libraries’ Lone Tree branch to build a homemade hot air balloon. PHOTOS BY TABATHA STEWART Ryland Liomin, 8, worked carefully on his airplanes, and predicted the plane made of wax paper would fly best, and noted that working with foil was more difficult than the other materials. “Note—foil is harder to fold and crease,” said Liomin. Turns out Liomin was correct in his hypothesis.

The plane made of wax paper flew straighter, while the plane made of foil curved and crashed. After all the students tested their airplanes, they gathered to make homemade hot-air balloons, using tissue paper and glue sticks. Still encouraged to apply the principles of science, students suggested modifica-

tions they thought would make the balloons fly better. “I want to put a weight on mine,” said Blinci. “I think it would help it.” The class took to the yard outside the library to test their balloons, and determined that some of them flew too well, as they watched the second balloon that was launched fly up and over the roof of the library. Susan Byrne, library branch manager in Lone Tree, said workshops held at the library are a great way to get kids out of the house to learn. “The Slick Science program is a great intersection of two of Douglas County Libraries’ big initiatives—fostering discovery through science and making it fun, too,” said Byrne.

Country music star draws fans to area BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fans of country music star Scotty McCreery got a special chance to meet the singer on Feb. 13 during a meet and greet hosted by the Outlets at Castle Rock. People lined up as early as 10 a.m. for the 3:30 p.m. event, said Andrea Nyquist, spokeswoman for the outlet mall. The meet and greet preceded McCreery’s sold-out show in Denver later that evening. McCreery rose to fame after winning the 10th season of “American Idol” in 2011. His third full-length album, “Seasons Change,” will be released March 16. The first 300 attendees of the meet and greet received a downloadable version of the album ahead of the release. Jackie Herrington, of Castle Rock, her daughter, Katie McClain, and grandson, Gavin McClain, all attended the meet and greet to send a photo to Katie’s sister, a big fan who was unable to attend, they said. “She voted for him on ‘Idol’ and she’s followed him ever since,” Herrington said. Connie Gant, of Centennial, traveled to the Outlets that day for the chance

Bill would prohibit incentives for taking standardized tests Two lawmakers sponsor measure as state wrestles with effects of opt-outs BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT.ORG

It’s already illegal in Colorado for schools to penalize students who don’t take state assessments. Now a bill before the Legislature would make it illegal to reward students who take the tests and would penalize schools who offer such incentives. “The school can’t say you can’t play on the team or go on the field trip,” said Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert, who opted to keep his own sons from taking state assessments. “This bill addresses something that’s come up recently: If you take the

assessment, you get to go to the party or go on the field trip or maybe even get to play on the sports team. It’s the same message, but the other way around.” That’s just as wrong, said Holbert, a Republican from Parker who sponsored the bill with state Sen. Andy Kerr, a Lakewood Democrat. Kerr is a teacher who serves on his school’s accountability committee, and he said another teacher raised this idea — supposedly used at a different school — as they discussed how to get more students to take the tests. “We know that we can’t do negative consequences, but at this school, every student who takes the test gets a raffle ticket and the winner of the raffle gets a wide-screen TV,” Kerr said. “This was given as an example of a positive reinforcement to take the test.” The wide-screen TV in this example was donated; no taxpayer dollars went

to reward test-taking and the luck of the draw. Under the bill, schools could still have parties after testing is over, but they couldn’t exclude students who didn’t take the tests. Colorado has been at the center of the opt-out movement nationally, and its partisans include people on the left and the right — students in conservative Douglas County as well as liberal Boulder County. How Colorado handles accountability for schools with high opt-out rates has been a point of contention with the federal government. The State Board of Education has a policy that the state won’t lower the quality rating of schools who miss the 95 percent participation mark, while the federal Department of Education wants those students counted as “not proficient.” In a compromise, Colorado agreed

to keep two lists of schools, one that complies with state law and one that complies with federal law, but Colorado is still waiting for approval from the federal government of its Every Student Succeeds Act plan. Matt Cook, director of public policy and advocacy for the Colorado Association of School Boards, said his organization doesn’t have a position on the bill, but he does have a few questions: “Who are the bad actors?” and “Does this need to be a law?” “I don’t want to pick on anybody in particular,” Holbert said, declining to name any schools or districts. He characterized the problem as “more than one, but not widespread.” The Colorado PTA, the Colorado Education Association, the Colorado Association of School Executives and the State Board of Education all supSEE TESTS, P11

Webb said. Republicans would likely support moving to a defined-contribution plan, Webb said — like a 401(k), in which the employee chooses to fund the plan, which takes the risk off the employer, which in this case is the state government. Democrats in the state Legislature have indicated they want to keep the definedbenefits plan — in which the employer guarantees a specific retirement amount and bears the risk of promising the investment will be available. But “current retirees have to be protected,” Webb said of a potential shift to a definedcontribution framework. “We have to gradually find a way to modernize the system.” Lori Goldstein, Adams County Democratic Party chair, said the issue of publiceducation funding will also affect the race. “I think voters have been demanding for a long time (that) we need schools to keep pace,” said Walker, noting that Colorado ranks toward the bottom of states nationwide for per-pupil education spending. The Trump factor Drawn-out fights in Washington over the Deferred Action

for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy, building Trump’s proposed Mexican-border wall and his push to cut legal immigration could play a role in Colorado as the race unfolds. “I think we’re in a different age — politics has been turned on its head. Twenty years ago, the old adage was, ‘All politics is local.’ All politics is national (now),” Sondermann said. Trump “and all the emotions he arouses, whether it’s support on one side or resistance on the other,” can influence local fights. With the state’s increasing Latino population, hard-line positions on illegal immigration in the spirit of former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo and a push for what his supporters might call amnesty may make for a clash in Colorado. Even with Tancredo’s recent exit from the race for the GOP nomination for governor, “his supporters still have influence,” and on the Democratic side, to some extent, “it’s an outrage contest — who can be the most outraged,” Sondermann said. “But I do think Democrats (are) energized these days, so animated, so ginned up by Trump being in the White House.” The question is how far the GOP nominee will have to move toward positions like Trump’s or Tancredo’s to court voters, according to Sondermann.

Conducted November 2017 and released in January. Criticisms of Trump will cast a shadow on candidates here to some extent, said John Straayer, a professor of political science at Colorado State University. “How much, I don’t know, but it will, and should be, a concern for all Republican candidates,” Straayer said. “No doubt Democrats will seek to tie the Rs to (Trump) on matters including character and behavior, the environment, pot and surely more issues.”

Some county party chairs see it differently, though. Trump and national politics won’t be a factor, said Anil Mathai, Adams County GOP chair. “Colorado residents are focused on local issues,” Mathai said. Mathai said immigration debates won’t affect the race here either. “We have many people here legally of Mexican descent and/or from Spanish-speaking countries, and they believe in the rule of law,” Mathai said. Immigration issues will have an impact on the election but may not change the results, Peterson said. “It will be interesting to see the response to the president’s four-pillar position that was presented in the State of the Union address,” Peterson said, referencing Trump’s proposal for a path to citizenship for about 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants; $25 billion toward border security, including the border wall; ending the visa lottery; and limiting family-based immigration. “If Congress can pass comprehensive immigration reform this year, this issue may be less of a factor in Colorado come November.” Wild cards Independents may be able to shake things up this November because of two ballot measures voters passed in 2016 allowing unaffiliated voters to partici-

pate in the primary process, which is how parties whittle down the candidates to select one Republican and one Democratic nominee to compete in the general election. “Propositions 107 and 108 will make it more easy for independents to participate — that is the great unknown, how independents are gonna vote,” Sondermann said. Colorado is “in a test tube right now. This is the first election under the 107 and 108 rules, so there’s lots of speculation and conjecture and no knowledge.” If someone like state Attorney General Cynthia Coffman D can organize a strong campaign, Sondermann said, as a more moderate Republican and a woman, she could appeal to independents. “More centrist Democrats like (Noel) Ginsberg and (Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne) are banking on independents more than Cary Kennedy or Polis is,” he added. Personality may play a big role, too, Sondermann added, because governors tend to be more frequent faces in voters’ lives than, say, senators, who garner more party-line votes. “A lot of this election ... is gonna be more dictated by emotion than it is by position papers,” Sondermann said. “Historically, Colorado has really favored governors that voters not only respect, but that they actually like.”

Inmate was likely trying to escape through jail ceiling, authorities say Cody Crocker was first booked into the facility Feb. 5 on felony and misdemeanor charges STAFF REPORT JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An inmate at the Douglas County Detentions Facility was discovered

in the jail’s ceiling after he went missing from his cell for an hour and 40 minutes the morning of Feb. 13 in what authorities believe was an escape attempt. Cody Lauchlin Crocker, 34, was first booked into Crocker the jail in Castle Rock on Feb. 5 on suspicion of two felony charges, the first being an attempt to influence a public servant and the second for forgery, simulation,

port the idea behind the bill. “We certainly believe students who have the family discussion to not take the test should not have any inappropriate hook dangled before them,” Nate Golich, director of government affairs for the teachers union, told the Senate Education Committee. “They should not feel stigmatized or ostracized because there’s a pizza party or a granola bar or orange slices.” But there is a point of dispute: how to enforce such a law. The original version of the bill calls for the Colorado Department of Education to make a note in the performance report of any schools found in

impersonation and related offenses; a misdemeanor for theft; and one petty offense for possession of drug paraphernalia. His bond for those charges was set at $100. The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office set up a perimeter around the jail with assistance from the Castle Rock Police Department once Crocker was discovered missing, although a spokeswoman said there was never a concern about the alleged escape attempt being successful.

Chris Holbert, Colorado Senate Majority Leader violation, and to “impose a significant penalty” on the accreditation rating of any school that violates the law three or more times in a year. Dana Smith, a spokeswoman for the Department of Education, said that provision would be difficult to enforce.

The department collects a lot of data, but it doesn’t know which schools hold pizza parties for kids who take state assessments. Doing enforcement on a complaint basis could create an unfair situation in that schools whose parents complain are punished while schools

The sheriff ’s office did not want to disclose how Crocker got into the ceiling, “so we don’t give anyone else ideas,” said Lauren Lekander, a spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office. Crocker was not harmed during the incident and was assessed by medical staff before being returned to a cell, according to the sheriff ’s office’s Twitter account. Lekander said new charges for the incident were pending. She was not sure what those charges may be. with the same practices whose parents don’t complain go unpunished. Lisa Escárcega, executive director of the Colorado Association of School Executives, called docking a school’s rating over this issue “using the jaws of life to go after a minnow.” “We would not want a school to lose an entire accreditation point if three people call CDE,” Golich said. The Senate Education Committee heard testimony about the bill Feb. 8 but postponed a vote. Holbert and Kerr said they’re open to removing the penalty, but that raises the question of what the law even means. “What happens if we pass a bill that has no particular penalty or enforcement mechanism and parents are frustrated because they’re seeing these consequences?” asked state Sen. Tim Neville, a Jefferson County Republican.

VOICES Knock off the buffering against winter suffering

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

his is the winter of my discontented discontent. You call this winter? How am I going to appreciate spring if winter is spring? I need a few sunless days, and to be closed in by snowbanks. I want the feeling of weather oppression to burnish my soul. My soul is not getting burnished. When I lived in Michigan, we had four months of winter, four months of spring, four months of summer, and four months of autumn.

One reason I love it here is the unpredictability. Winter comingles with spring, and sometimes winter comingles with summer. However, now and then, I want winter to comingle with winter. I want to suffer a little, to slide around on the roads, and fall down on the driveway. I want to see my breath. In the living room. I want Dr. Zhivago to make a house call. You call this winter? Why I oughta. I know I could go find it. Get

in the car and throttle along on I-70 west for a couple of hours. No thanks. I want winter on my doorstep. One blessed winter we had a blizzard. I got out something called a snow blower. I was clearing the driveway when I heard a beautiful sound. I ran over a frozen newspaper. It was chewed and spat. A melody. I see men and women and teenagers in stores in shorts and T-shirts. I saw a shirtless jogger.

I want to be snowed in with nothing left in the cupboard except saltines and bouillon cubes. I want Punxsutawney Phil over for lunch. I want to live like the pioneers, at least for a week or two. Winter is being too polite. Winter is being discreet. This morning winter even apologized to me: “I’m 10 degrees above. I know you want 10 below. I’m trying.”

Metro area schools look to later start times Two of the largest districts consider making schedule shifts BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Research says that a later school start time positively impacts alertness, mental health, wellness and behavior in high school and middle school students, which means students are better prepared to learn. Some area school districts have already implemented later start times. Others, including the Jefferson County and Douglas County districts, are exploring the possibility of making the move. The most recent district to commit to the switch is Littleton Public

Schools, whose board of education voted Dec. 14 for later school start times for middle and high school students beginning with the 2018-19 school year. The decision to change school start times followed months of research analysis, parent presentations and extensive opportunities for parent, student and staff input through public forums, open houses and surveys. “If we truly rely on what we believe is compelling scientific research, the question is: Why wouldn’t we do it?” said Brian Ewert, superintendent of Littleton Public Schools. “The research is pretty clear about how much sleep adolescents should get, and more important is when they sleep.” According to Dr. Lisa Meltzer, National Jewish Health adolescent sleep expert, melatonin is a hormone SEE TIMES, P24

LIFE Dance is one of the key disciplines explored by the women artists who participate in the annual Athena Project. This year’s Athena Project will feature an Evening World of Dance on March 17.

Calling all

Annual festival celebrates creations of women and girls

This year’s Athena Project festival is more diverse and well-rounded than ever before. There will be dance, live music, and several theatrical events, all celebrating and created by women and young girls. PHOTOS COURTESY OF ATHENA PROJECT

IF YOU GO WHAT: Athena Project festival WHEN: March 3 - 31 COST: Free to $50 INFORMATION: AthenaProjectArts.org

Live music has become a dynamic part of the annual Athena Project festival, and this year’s event includes concerts, an open mic, and Cross Pollinations, where musicians are paired with other artists and have 12 hours to create a new piece for performance.

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Athena Project has an inspiring effect on the people and artists who get involved with the annual festival. Just ask Dominique Flores, the events coordinator with Athena. “I started as an actress, but now in this role, I help to feed and help the artists with whatever they need,” she said. “I’m now also a mentor in our Girls Create Program, where I get to work with the next generation of women creators.” SuCh, a Denver-based soul singer, who first performed as part of the festival in 2014, has also taken on new challenges since then. “This year, I’m going to be a part of Cross Pollinations, where I’ll be paired with another artist I’ve never met before, and we’ll have 12

hours to present a new work of art,” she said. “You can’t really plan for it, and that’s really exciting.” Since its creation in 2012, the Athena Project has not only focused on celebrating and making spaces for artistic women in the metro area, but it also has encouraged these performers to grow and tackle new challenges, styles and mediums. “The original goal was to celebrate women artists, especially because women are so underrepresented in the arts world,” said Angela Astle, Athena Project’s founder and executive producer. “A lot of people don’t think it’s that way, because they see women performers a lot. But behind the scenes, it’s not that way. So we wanted to create a space where women can share their stories.” SEE ATHENA, P18

Bringing Malcolm X to life for a new generation

hen future national Chautauqua scholar Charles Everett Pace was a young man, he read a book that changed his life, “The Autobiography of Malcolm X.” Malcolm X’s passionate pursuit of knowledge, justice and self-examination made him one of the most important and controversial figures of the civil rights movements of the 1950s and ‘60s. COMING One of the countless number of ATTRACTIONS people influenced by Malcolm X’s life, Pace channeled that inspiration into a lifelong study of the man who was born Malcolm Little in 1925. Now he’s taking those years of study and bringing Clarke Reader Malcolm X back to life, speaking to audiences all over the metro area as part of the 2018 Black History Live Tour. “Malcolm was a bridge builder when he was alive,” Pace, who lives in Texas, said. “I wish more people knew who he actually was. Most people today just know the name, not the man.” As a Chautauqua scholar and sponsored by Colorado Humanities, Pace will be acting the role of Malcolm X at 3 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Gonzales Library, 1498 N. Irving St. in Denver; at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at Red Rocks Community College, 13300 W. 6th Ave. in Lakewood; at 11 a.m. Feb. 27 at Metropolitan State University, Tivoli No. 329, 890 Auraria Parkway in Denver; and at 7 p.m. Feb. 27 at Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St. in Littleton. All presentations are free and open to the public. Being a Chautauqua scholar means that Pace will perform as Malcolm X — he’ll even take audience questions as the man, answering with information that is historically accurate and based on textual evidence. “I’ve been performing as Malcolm since 1975, and read everything written on him when I first started,” Pace said. “When I was preparing to perform as him again, I reread some of those materials, as well as more recent books written about him.” Over the years, Pace has performed as other visionary African-American leaders, including York (who explored with Lewis and Clark), Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Langston Hughes and Gordon Parks (among his many talents, he was Hollywood’s first major African-American director). SEE READER, P23

Endangered African wild dog puppies make public debut at zoo STAFF REPORT

For three months, the endangered African wild dog puppies have been in their private maternity den with their mother, Tilly. Keepers say the three male puppies and one female puppy are healthy, curious and playful. COURTESY PHOTO

Denver Zoo visitors have a chance to see four endangered African wild dog puppies born in November and released into the Benson Predator Ridge yard Feb. 16. The puppies were in their private maternity den for three months, being cared for by their mother, Tilly, according to a news release from the zoo. Keepers say the three male puppies, Nigel, Theodore Roosevelt, and Livingstone, and one female puppy, Cholula, are healthy, curious and playful. Guests can see the puppies from noon to 2 p.m. every day in the Pahali Ya Mwana yard through February, and

in various habitats throughout Benson Predator Ridge starting March 1, depending on the weather. With a worldwide population estimated at 6,600, African wild dogs — also known as African painted dogs — are classified as endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, according to the news release. Habitat fragmentation, conflict with human activities and infectious disease are among the reasons for the endangerment. Denver Zoo is a leader in the management of African wild dogs within the Association of Zoos & Aquariums and has successfully produced 32 puppies

since 2001, said the release. African wild dogs are native to the open woodlands and plains of sub-Saharan Africa. Full-grown adults weigh between 40 and 80 pounds and stand 30 inches tall at the shoulder. Unique characteristics of these slim, long-legged dogs include distinct yellow, black, brown and white markings, large round ears that contribute to their sharp sense of hearing, and front paws that have only four toes, rather than the typical five found on other canine species. For more information about Denver Zoo, including hours and admissions, daily schedules, events and membership, go to DenverZoo.org or call 720337-1400.

singers and songwriters, a concert headlined by Megan Burtt, who was named the 2015 Best Singer/Songwriter by the Westword Music Awards and has toured nationally and abroad with

acts like Gregory Alan Isakov, Mark Cohen, and Lissie, and emerging artist Nina de Freitas, a Brazilian-born musician and daughter of Academy Award nominee Carlinhos Brown.

And all ages get in on the creativity, with a showcase of plays created by middle school girls during the project’s Girls Create summer camp. This gives these students a chance to see their work as a live performance with actors on stage and a director. On the same day, the girls who participated in the fashion design and visual arts camps will have their creations highlighted in a runway style fashion show and gallery show. “It’s so amazing to see what these young girls are able to come up with, and the stories they’re able to tell,” said Flores, who will work with these young creators. “We want these girls to know they can do anything.” Flores and SuCh encourage people to attend events on multiple weekends, especially since there will be such a variety throughout the month. Children and students are particularly encouraged to see what Athena has to offer. “I didn’t go into music until I was an adult, even though I always knew music was my thing,” SuCh said. “Who knows? If I had been exposed to more music and art earlier, I might’ve started younger.”

This year’s festival runs from March 3-31 and features the artistic talents of women and girls in theatre, dance and music. Events include a weekend of music at Swallow Hill, the music production and concert venue organization; world dance, the Girls Create Celebration, Plays In Progress Series, panel discussions and workshops. “This year, we wanted our programming to be more rounded out, and to offer more for audiences,” Astle said. “Our goal with each discipline is to fill a niche and expand what we can do in the discipline.” The Cross Pollinations program is new this year. As SuCh explained, it will feature a musician paired with a playwright, dancer, visual artist or spoken word artist, and at the end of 12 hours each pair will present a live original work of art around the theme of Fierce Women Thriving. Other highlights from the month include an open mic night for female

Book events are perfect for waning days of winter First-time festival in Denver will bring together exhibitors, speakers BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s an active season in the publishing world as well as a great time of year to curl up with a new book or old favorite — and/or, most especially, to read aloud to children — and each other. • On Feb. 12, readers and writers gathered at Tattered Cover Aspen Grove to hear best-selling author Peter Heller offer a relaxed, humorous talk about “Celine,” a mystery based on his mother, who was a private investigator. He read several passages, including the opening lines that set the scene. It has just been published in paperback, as are his novels, “Dog Star” and “Painter.” He answered questions about his process in storytelling. (“I start with the first line …”) Heller will also be a keynote speaker at the upcoming — and impressive — March 3 Colorado Book Festival, to be held at Denver Central Library, with program chaired by well-known Castle Rock nature writer Mary Taylor Young. (More information below.) • Also tempting for the bookish among us will be the Littleton Friends of the Library/Museum’s 2018 Silent Auction, which runs March 3-31 at Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton. Chairman Sue McNamee comments that this is the “quiet” sale: no tables of holiday books or bags to fill with Western Welcome Week books ••• “Instead,” she says, “we offer 24 `special’ books (and other items) in two glass cases. We display 12 books for the first two weeks, (auction ending March 17) and the next 12 books are displayed through the end of the auction, March 31. Four of the more special items will be exhibited, and bidding will continue, for the entire four weeks.” Also — there’s a 55-book set of “Harvard Classics,” which have been said to offer an education if read for 15 minutes every day. A FOL/M cashier will often be present with a notebook that holds more details about each volume, with photos—and that person will have a key for those who wish to inspect more closely. (Notebook will be at the circulation desk when volunteers are not present.) McNamee encourages bidders to check back frequently to see if someone has outbid you — and of course, she hopes you’ll raise your bid! A partial list of items available: A signed ﬁrst edition of the 25thanniversary edition (1994) of Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five (or The Children’s Crusade).” As new with fine dust jacket. The final two children’s books written by Littleton’s beloved author and storyteller, Caroline Stutson, who passed away in

Part of the selection offered in the Littleton Friends of the Library/Museum live auction. COURTESY PHOTO June 2015. “Blue Corn Soup” and “My Family, Four Floors Up” were published posthumously and donated by Al Stutson, a FOL/M board member. Three oversized photography books, offered separately: “Pilgrimage,” by Annie Liebowitz (1st. ed. 2011). “American Places” with photos by Eliot Porter (1st ed. 1981), with script by Pulitzer Prize winner Wallace Stegner and his son, Page Stegner. Leatherbound copy of “Aftermath: Unseen 911 Photographs By A New York Cop.” (1st ed. 2006). Stop by the cases near the entrance to admire these and other goodies. “Bid early and often!” Proceeds support programs at the Littleton Library and Museum. � Colorado Book Festival — March 3, Denver Central Library 10 W. 14th Ave., Denver. An all-day free festival and exhibit. Program chair Mary Taylor Bradford, Castle Rock nature writer, will moderate a panel about “Communicating Climate Change.” This ﬁrst-time festival, with 100 exhibitors and an all-day schedule of expert speakers, is being put on by the Colorado Authors League and the Denver Public Library, with expectations of becoming a national caliber book festival, comparable to those in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta, according to Bradford, who hopes area readers and authors will support this initial well-organized effort. At the 11 a.m. opening keynote, Peter Heller will be interviewed by journalist Carol McKinley about his creative process and more. Followed by multiple sessions, in multiple rooms: books about food and cooking; children’s lit; cultivating community; history; fiction; “Writing for Chicks”; “Writing for Dudes”; Graphics: reading and writing; Mysteries; Danger, Doom and Destruction — Why do we love them? — and much more. There is a special focus on supporting book clubs, with a session devoted to them — and keeping them on track. The closing keynote session will be by Patricia Limerick, Colorado state historian and faculty director and chair of CU’s Center of the American West, who will be interviewed by historian and author Richard K. Young about her book “The Legacy of Conquest,” on its 30th anniversary. For information and schedule: COBookFestival.com.

Degas exhibit is gem at Denver Art Museum Painter died a century ago and left immense mark on world BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Why a Degas exhibit now? “It’s a celebration of the centenary of Degas’ death in 1917,” said Dr. Timothy Standring, Gates Family Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Denver Art Museum, as he spoke prior to the opening of a special exhibit he had been working on for five years. He spoke of “Degas’ escape — affirming while obliterating his marks on paper,” as he reworked his pieces at times. “Degas: A Passion for Perfection” was sold out on its opening day and will continue as a specially ticketed exhibit through May 20. The exhibit was first organized by Jane Munroe, keeper of paintings and prints at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England and was locally curated by Standring, who added items from other collections to the original selection, offering more than 100 works. As he spoke about the project, he said, “no isn’t in my vocabulary” when it comes to borrowing artworks. (One owner at the Maastricht Art Fair in the Netherlands was reluctant because he wanted to sell a piece instead of

IF YOU GO “Degas: A Passion for Perfection” is at the Hamilton Building of the Denver Art Museum, between 12th and 13th avenues, just west of Broadway. The parking garage entrance is on 12th and there are coinoperated meters in the area. Visitors to the exhibit will enjoy an audio guide, provided with ticket purchase. (Members half-price.) Some of it was recorded by Dr. Timothy Standring, Gates Family Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Denver Art Museum, at Cambridge. There is also an accompanying book, edited by Jane Munro, available at the gift shop. The DAM is now open seven days a week. Information: denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000. loaning. “I’ll find a buyer,” Standring replied — and did!) The curator speaks of this exhibit as “presenting insight into the artist’s journey,” showing many aspects of Degas’ acute awareness of his surroundings and society — and endless curiosity. Born into a somewhat wealthy family, he had a classical education, which would have afforded many ideas for artworks early on — and he did start painting as a teen. Degas’ prolific 60-year career touched on many of his diverse interests, from ballet, dancers as individuals and theater to landscapes and cityscapes of Paris street life, to horse racing. Largely self-trained, he transformed from a portraitist and painter of historic subjects and transitioned

into an interest in the contemporary scene. An interesting turn-of-the-century film clip shows a street scene that looks very familiar, from Degas’ and other Impressionists’ art. (Although Standring said Degas disliked being called an Impressionist.) In his last years, “he was pretty much blind,” and turned to creating clay and wax models, intended to be cast in bronze. Many were found in poor condition in his studio after his death and repaired and cast by a foundry hired by his family. His mother was a Cajun from New Orleans and his father came from Naples. (The Italian grandfather escaped from a revolution on horseback, carrying gold, and started banks.) After an attempt at studying law, at his father’s insistence, he embarked on an artist’s training by copying the earlier masters at the Louvre and elsewhere — the common way to study in the 19th century, as well as attending Le Ecole des Beaux Artes. Exhibits followed with his contemporaries. He learned to emulate the Academic painters and said “One certainly needs courage if one is to approach nature.” He created a new painting technique, recognized as turpentine in the U.S., mixing the pigments with gasoline. It thinned the paint, allowing for precise lines and a flat effect. The painter Corot was an influence in his development of landscapes and he worked on smaller pieces with pastels, some watercolor, some oil. Repetition was an ongoing theme, with numerous versions of a given subject or scene. Standring said Degas’ studio in Paris was reported to be a pigpen because he never wanted to give

anything away — and his eyesight was degenerating. During his productive years, he created many monotypes, where a painting is created on a metal plate and paper is laid on it and pulled off as a print. He made more than one impression from a plate and added in pastels. “It was all about process — making, making, making,” Standring commented. The curator followed Degas’ steps in Paris, including a visit to his tomb in Montmartre, and said “we really wanted to tell the right story” in this exhibit that represents about 20 public and private collection, including that of the Denver Art Museum, which owns three pastels and two sculptures. He said scholars love to talk about Degas’ dysfunctional family, but he did not elaborate on the subject. During a Q&A period following the lecture, Kim Field, Littleton writer and Historic Preservation Board member, commented on Degas’ choice of models. “They were not perfect 10s” — nor did the dancers depicted show perfect ballet form. Standring agreed and spun off into the painters’ many influences, including Japanese prints. And flexibility. “Sometimes, he added strips of paper to a drawing,” to get proportions right. He might be compared to more contemporary Rauschenberg and Richter. A close look will reveal those added strips pasted on the edge of a drawing. He was commercially successful, despite difficult family finances. British and French collectors bought his work, including at an auction following his death. (Fitzwilliam Museum’s collection is an example.) He also accumulated a personal art collection.

Pace refers to these leaders as his “bodacious brothers,” and said his body of work explores how marginal outsiders became influential insiders. “I hope that people who attend go to a local bookstore and buy the books my portrayal is based on and learn more about Malcolm,” Pace said. “I hope people come out, learn and continue the conversation.” Visit www.coloradohumanities.org.

The magic or real life in ‘The Electric Baby’ For most adults, magic isn’t really part of their daily lives, but in the Arvada Center’s second show of its repertory season, magical realism brings hope to individuals dealing with grief and loneliness. “This show is rooted in a layered style that takes a magical approach to vintage storytelling,” said Abner Genece, cast member. The regional premiere of “The Electric Baby” runs through May 4 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. The show, written by Stefanie Zadravec and directed by Rick Barbour, tells the story of a group of people connected by tragedy and a longing for human contact. “The best thing I can tell someone about the show is to come with an open mind and heart,” said Kate Gleason, cast member. “It’s beautiful storytelling and direction, and people will laugh and be moved.” To purchase tickets, call 720-898-7200 or go to www.arvadacenter.org/theelectric-baby.

‘America’s Musical Journey’ at IMAX One of the best gifts a person can give their eyes is to go to a movie screening at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s Phipps IMAX Theater. But the museum’s newest film is also a treat for the ears. “America’s Musical Journey,” the newest IMAX 3D film from MacGillivray Freeman Films, opened Feb. 16 at the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd. The film is narrated by Morgan Freeman and examines America’s

diverse musical history. The film follows Grammy Awardnominated singer and songwriter Aloe Blacc as he explores the roots of the country’s musical styles — ranging from jazz, blues, country, rock and rap — through stops at such cities as New Orleans, Chicago, New York City, Nashville, Memphis, and even a brief look at Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week When R&B crooner Miguel arrived on the music scene in 2010, he seemed like just another silky-voiced Lothario. But over the following two albums, “Kaleidoscope Dream” and “Wildheart,” he developed a progressive blend of funk, Hendrix-esque rock and soul. His most recent album, “War and Leisure,” was released at the end of 2017, and continues this trend. In support of the album, Miguel will stop by the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, at 9 p.m. Feb. 28, along with up-and-coming voices in the genre, SiR and Nonchalant Savant. Go to www.ogdentheatre.com. Joining Miguel on his latest album is an array of collaborators, ranging from Jeff Bhasker and Dave Sitek to Salaam Remi and Raphael Saadiq, and vocal contributions from today’s best and brightest — including Kali Uchis, J. Cole, Travi$ Scott and Rick Ross. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

released by the brain that controls the internal clock and prepares the body for sleeping. But during puberty, the timing of the melatonin release is delayed by up to two hours. This makes it nearly impossible for teens to fall asleep early. This shift is also seen in the morning hours, showing that when a teen wakes at 6 a.m. that is equivalent of an adult waking at 4 a.m. An adolescent’s brain is biologically asleep at that time. A 2014 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools delay start of classes to 8:30 a.m. or later. “Doing so will align school schedules to the biological sleep rhythms of adolescents, whose sleep-wake cycles begin to shift up to two hours later at the start of puberty,” the report reads. A National Sleep Foundation poll found 59 percent of sixth- through eighth-graders and 87 percent of high school students in the U.S. were getting less sleep than the recommended 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep on a school night. “Chronic sleep loss in children and adolescents is one of the most common — and easily flexible — public health issues in the U.S. today,” wrote pediatrician Judith Owens, in a policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics. A 2013 study by the Hanover Research Institute also found that “school districts could increase

student safety and boost adolescent academic success by instituting later start times for middle and high school students.” “It was courageous because it does create hardships,” Ewert said of the Littleton board’s decision. “But I absolutely believe it was the right decision to make and I applaud the board for putting into perspective why we’re doing this.” ‘A game-changer’ While Ewert said the shift will create some challenges, such as additional childcare needed for some elementary students, changes to the athletics schedule and reorganization of the transportation schedule, he thinks these obstacles should not get in the way of “doing the right thing for our adolescents.” “This one absolutely is in the best interest of our kids,” Ewert said. “It wasn’t about adults, it was about kids.” Ewert was involved in shifting the

school start times when he was the superintendent of Englewood Public Schools. Although the shift in Englewood five years ago was less about the research and more about being able to share staff between schools when the new Englewood High campus was built, Ewert said after the first year they saw a positive impact on behavior, an increase in attendance and a decrease in tardiness. “I just think kids are more awake and ready to engage in learning,” said Wendy Rubin, superintendent of Englewood Public Schools. “I think that the research is irrefutable — teenagers need more rest … it impacts brain development, social and emotional health and academics.” Cherry Creek School District implemented later start times for their middle and high school students this school year. While Deputy Superintendent Scott Siegfried said half a year is too early to track performance, the district is participating in a study with National Jewish Health to track changes in their students. Siegfried said his district has seen better first-hour attendance and fewer behavioral problems. “This is truly a game-changer for kids and I would encourage anyone to pay some serious attention to it,” he said.

Pondering the shift Jefferson County Public Schools, Douglas County School District and Westminster Public Schools are all in the process of exploring later school start times for secondary students for future academic years. Westminster is in the early stages with what James Duffy, chief operating officer, referred to as creating draft proposals, policy discussions, internal vetting. Jeffco is a little further along as the district will be hosting a meeting in mid-February to put a community task force together to examine the issue. While Jeffco Superintendent Jason Glass said the brain science concerning sleep patterns for teenagers sparked this discussion, transportation issues offer challenges for a large district like Jeffco. “There is a significant impact on transportation in the district,” Glass said, adding that traffic patterns and buses that run to multiple schools will need to be taken into account when working on a possible shift. “We time out to the minute how long we want buses to run,” Glass explained. “When you change something, it can have a cascading effect. It’s one of those things that we’ll have to look at.” Glass hopes the district can have a thoughtful discussion about the pros and cons of the issue. The final decision would be made by the school board. The research and changes that other districts have made also got Douglas County’s Board of Education to look at making a change. Staff is currently re-examining research and surveying stakeholders. Both the Douglas and Jeffco districts are not looking to make the possible change until the 2019-20 school year. “We want to go slowly, learn from our other districts before we jump in,” Douglas County School Board President David Ray said.

annah Croasdell was burned out on swimming, so her mother Christy suggested she should try to become a triathlete. That’s what the Douglas County senior did, but it wasn’t easy. I can only imagine, since I have OVERTIME never learned to swim and it’s been many years since I have ridden a bike. I do jog but not much running. Croasdell has been a triathlete for less than two years but will be joining Jim Benton the women’s triathlon program next fall at Colorado Mesa University. Yes, Virginia, triathlon is a women’s varsity college sport. “I just wanted to try something new and wondered if I would be good at it,” said Croasdell who was a swimmer on the Douglas County/Castle View team along with her sophomore sister Abigail. It took a while and some coaching to learn the detailed skills required to be a triathlete. She competed in the Elite Draft Legal series last summer and went to both the Junior Elite Nationals and Age Group Nationals. She has earned a spot on Team USA for the ITU Junior Worlds, which will be held in Queensland, Australia in September. “For me the hardest part was learning the bike skills, especially in a pack with the other girls, and the open water swimming was very different because you can’t really see where you are going,” explained Croasdell. “Running was something else I had to learn too because I was never a really natural runner.” For those who might not know, a triathlon is a multiple-stage race that usually involves open water swimming, cycling and running in immediate succession. Athletes compete for the fastest overall course time, including timed transitions where athletes change from swimming, cycling and running gear. Most collegiate courses have a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilometer bike race and a five-kilometer run. Croasdell admits at times to wondering why she dabbled at becoming a triathlete. SEE BENTON, P31

Trio leads Valor Christian’s wrestling efforts Eagles finish 17th as a team in the Class 4A tournament BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jake Welch played golf last fall for Valor Christian and tied for seventh in the Class 4A state tournament. Easton Cecil was a senior running back and defensive end on the Eagles football team. Both ventured into the wrestling room once their respective fall seasons concluded. Welch and Cecil were key contributors as the three-man Eagles team collected 40 points and finished 17th in the team standings at the Class 4A State Wrestling Championships, which concluded Feb. 17 at the Pepsi Center. In the 170-pound bracket, Welch notched three wins in the consolation bracket after opening the tournament with a loss and defeated Mason Repshire of Canon City, 12-1, to capture third place. Cecil advanced to the quarterfinals of the 220-pound

After his victory in the fifthplace Class 4A 220-pound match Valor Christian’s Easton Cecil is all smiles as he greets assistant coach John Sandoval.

Martinez edged Polson, 2-1. PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON championship bracket before losing a close match to eventual state champion Dante Garcia of Pueblo County, 1-0. He lost a semifinal consolation match but edged James Hochanadel of Fort Morgan,

3-1, to finish fifth. Valor junior Payton Polson was fourth at 160 pounds, losing to Marcus Martinez of Pueblo South, 2-1, in the third-place match. Polson had also advanced to the cham-

pionship quarterfinals, and won his semifinal consolation match before losing to Martinez. Welch compiled a 31-4 record this season and already has his sights set on the 201819 wrestling season. “Wrestling is a little different from golf,” he said. “On the golf course you kind of have constant pressure on you to perform well and here you have pressure, get it done, have a little break, get some rest and get back into it. “The state tournament was

a huge success. I’m only a junior and I can come back next year and hopefully do some damage. For sure, I’m going to golf, too.” Cecil was making his fourth trip to the state wrestling tournament. “I came to the tournament wanting to finish as high as possible,” he said. “ My loss in the semis (consolation) was a little rough on me but this is my best finish in four years. “I continued wrestling because of the edge it gave me in football. It gave me the ability to find heart and something deep.” Valor was the lone school from Highlands Ranch in the 4A tournament. ThunderRidge, paced by a fifth-place finish by Jaret Strasheim, was 24th in the Class 5A standings. Mountain Vista was 39th and Highlands Ranch 40th. Vista’s Nico Gonzalez at 285 pounds won two consolation matches but lost in the third round. Dennon Parks, Highlands Ranch’ only wrestler, lost a second-round 145-pound match in the championship draw and was eliminated from medal contention with a loss in the third round of consolation.

At 20, Terry is veteran of international hockey DU junior forward missing four college games to take part in Olympics BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Troy Terry is only 20 years old but can be considered a veteran of international ice hockey play. Terry, a junior forward on the University of Denver team who was a Rock Canyon student for two years, is a member of the United States Olympic team. “It is a tremendous opportunity for Troy and I was really happy for him,” said DU coach Jim Montgomery, who will be without the Pioneers’ third leading scorer for four games while he is with the U.S. Olympic team. “He’s worked hard and deserved the opportunity. It shows the University of Denver recruits elite, great student athletes.” Terry, who hails from Highlands Ranch, was a member of the United States U18 team at the 2015 IIHF World Championships and the 2017 World Junior Championship, where he became an American hero when he went fourfor-four in semifinal and title-game shootouts to help the Americans win the gold medal. In the previous international out-

Troy Terry, a former Rock Canyon High School student and a junior at the University of Denver, is competing at the Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. COURTESY OF SHANNON VALERIO ings, Terry has played at a high level, especially when games have been on the line. He scored three straight shootout goals through the five hole between the goaltender’s legs in the semifinal win over Russia, when he earned the nickname of “Five-hole Terry.” He also got the winning shootout goal in the championship game against

Canada, once again scoring a five-hole goal. “I have always taken pride in wearing the Red, White and Blue and to have the opportunity to do it at the Olympics is incredible,” Terry said in a tweet after he was selected to the team. “I will take pride in representing my family, the University of Denver and the state of Colorado.” Terry is one of four NCAA players on the team. The selection of the college players was helped when the National Hockey League didn’t let their players participate in the Olympics. Since 1988, NHL players were allowed to play for teams in the Olympics and the NHL season was halted for two weeks. Montgomery didn’t talk much to Terry after he was named to the United States team in January. “We knew this was coming and the only thing I spoke to him was that he needed to be playing at a high level before he gets into that tournament so his confidence is high and he is feeling really good about his game,” said Montgomery. Terry played with the Littleton Sprints, Colorado Thunderbirds and U.S. national team development program prior to coming to DU. In 28 games this season for the Pioneers, the 6-foot, 179-pound draft selection of the Anaheim Ducks in 2015 had 11 goals and 21 assists for 32 points.

“I remember my ﬁrst race, that’s what I thought the whole time,” she said. “I was worried about getting lapped out. Sometimes on the bike people start yelling if the pace line gets mess up and I thought: `What am I doing?’ It was a very exhausting, tense situation to be in.” However, it proved to be worth it. She will accept a partial athletic scholarship in April to be on the second-year CMU women’s triathlon team, the only such team in Colorado. Croasdell also has earned a partial academic scholarship, so combined with the triathlon aid she will be on a full ride. “I feel like I have revolved enough to be able to compete with other athletes,” said Croasdell. “I still have a lot more to learn. If you would have asked me a year ago what I would be doing in college, I would have had no idea. I might have said swimming, but that completely changed. “Triathlon is deﬁnitely new, especially on the collegiate level. I don’t think a lot of people know about it yet. It’s not something that everyone does and it’s not offered in high schools here. For me I’m really excited about being about to compete and excited about what they can teach me and be able to compete at the collegiate level.” There are 22 NCAA schools that offer women’s triathlon programs over three divisions. USA Triathlon offers a multi-year grant to assist with the development of women’s varsity programs after triathlon was added to the list of NCAA emerging sports for women in 2014. CMU applied for and was awarded the three-year grant from USA Triathlon.

The ﬁrst year, CMU was given $40,000, of which $18,000 had to go toward scholarships. Funding of the program was to be split 5o-50 with the college, and the USA Triathlon contribution goes down to $20,000 the second year and $10,000 the third year. “One thing that makes Colorado Mesa University unique is we are a little like a trailblazer,” said CMU coAthletic Director Kristin Mort. Most of the athletes on women’s team last year were walk-ons from other programs, but coach Geoff Hanson, who is also CMU’s swimming coach, has had a full year to recruit and hopes to have 10 to 12 women on the team this fall. Under the emerging sport status, triathlon has 10 years to show continued momentum to become a fullﬂedged NCAA women’s sport. It will take at least 40 colleges in Division I, II and III at the varsity level to have an NCAA women’s championship. USA Triathlon is the governing body that organizes the triathlon national championship. “The sport is growing quickly in the U.S.,” said Hanson. “It is getting more and more popular. You have to be a well-rounded athlete. It is important to be a good swimmer, and when you get to cycling you have to learn to ride in a pack and work together. “Then it comes down to running. The athletes have to try to be good at all three disciplines and make the transition between them.” CMU also has a men’s triathlon team, also started in 2017, but it is a club sport and privately funded by the university.
