Teacher, dog lover, volleyball player About me I am a director at the Montessori School at Lone Tree. In Montessori, in order to be a lead teacher, you have to go through training. I did my training in Boulder. I do everything here. I work with the parents and teachers and deal with licensing and the health department, the whole nine yards. I played basketball on a scholarship at Regis University and when I graduated I started working with troubled youth. I decided I wanted to work with children in a different capacity, so I found the Montessori School at Lone Tree and fell in love with it. I loved the Montessori school materials since I saw them. I became the director about six years ago. I still love teaching, but now I feel like I am drawn to teachers and helping them in the classroom. A generational thing We have such a great school. It has been here for 31 years. In December, we did a huge remodel. We had our open house a couple weeks ago and now we are settled back in. Children come here at about three years old and they remain here for three years. We now have moms who are second generation here. It is unbelieveable to think that some people came here and now their children are here. Dogs ‘have my heart’ I have two labs who have my heart. I have
a black lab named Sophie and a black lab named Daphne. Sophie is an alpha. She is really, really dominant. We had to get a trainer. We have to have the dogs taking turns playing fetch or else Sophie will tear the ball away. They are both so loving that it is hard to sleep sometimes —they take up the whole king-size bed. About my family My daughter did Montessori training. She is a nanny right now and wants to find a school next year. My son manages a fast-food restaurant and is looking into getting into the military. My husband and I met playing volleyball. We used to play every weekend. We would do these doubles tournaments in Wash Park together. We still play. If you have suggestions for My Name Is… contact Stephanie Mason at smason@coloradocommunitymedia.com
CDOT holds C-470 open house Colorado Department of Transportation will host an open house April 26 on the progress of the C-470 express lane project. The project, which began late last year, will add toll lanes, with two of them westbound between Interstate 25 and Colorado Boulevard and one from Colorado to Wadsworth boulevards, and one eastbound toll lane from Platte Canyon Road to I-25. Upgrades will include pavement reconstruction, auxiliary lanes at certain locations, curve realignment, widening or replacement of bridges and grade separations for the C-470 multi-use trail that runs parallel to the freeway. Work is expected to be completed in 2019. The event will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Highlands Ranch at 1050 Plaza Drive. CU South seeks input University of Colorado South Denver is seeking responses to an online questionnaire about how they can best innovate and incubate new educational programs. The survey can be found
at surveymonkey.com/r/CUSouth and is open through April 24. The goal is to gather information from local community members to inform future programming and offerings from CU South Denver and ensure community needs are being met. CU South Denver will also hold an open forum where members of the community can provide input and feedback in person at 6:30 p.m. on May 1. The forum will be held in the Great Hall on the CU South campus at 10035 S. Peoria St., Lone Tree. Local schools help charity Students and faculty from Merryhill Preschools in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Parker partnered with Riverstone Education Preschool in Lone Tree to host a “sweetheart dance” fundraiser for local charity Bags of Fun. Bags of Fun, part of the Gabby Krause Foundation, provides personalized toys and activities for children with life-threatening illnesses during long hospital stays. The schools raised more than $2,100 for the organization during the dance with a silent auction and individual donations.

‘Every tree ... needs a little more tender love and care’ Lone Tree wraps up annual tree sale to residents — with some tips on proper care BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Thirty-nine Lone Tree homeowners are laying down some new roots this spring now that Lone Tree’s annual tree sale has concluded. Julius Zsako, Lone Tree’s city forester, was at the Lone Tree Hub parking lot the morning of April 8 where residents picked up the trees, offering advice for people on how to care for them. “Every community in the Front Range needs more trees,” Zsako said. “Every tree in the Front Range needs a little more tender love and care. We have a harsh environment.” At Lone Tree’s annual tree sale, residents can purchase a tree at a reduced price. The city partners with Alameda Wholesale Nursery. Allissa Dailey, events manager at the Lone Tree Arts Center, said the city covers half the cost of the trees. This year’s trees — Colorado spruce, Japanese lilac and spring snow crab being the most popular — ranged in price from $55 to $80. Because spring is a better time to plant trees than summer, the sale was moved from summertime to now. That probably accounted for the drop in total sales — 39 compared to last year’s 60, Dailey said. “We had typically done the pickup in June,” Dailey said. “We tried our best to connect with people on all our marketing channels, but I’m sure there are going to be people who are going to be frustrated when they see they missed the tree sale.” Dry seasons, inconsistent weather and diseases make Colorado a difficult place for trees to thrive, Zsako said. Resident Tom Bell picked up four trees, for himself, his neighbors and
HOW TO HELP YOUR TREE GROW Trees in the area typically live 12 years, according to the City of Lone Tree’s website. The best time to plant trees are the last few weeks in April and the first few weeks in May. Julius Zsako, Lone Tree’s city forrester, said that as a general rule, a tree needs 10 gallons of water for each diameter inch of the tree. The trees located in a sprinkler system recieve 80 percent of needed water and still need additional watering. Mulch is also important to maintaining a tree’s health, Zsako said. Mulch should be around the tree, but not up against the trunk. Mulch preserves soil moisture, moderates the temperature for the soil and root system and enchances organic composition of the soil. For more information regarding the care of trees, Lone Tree links its residents to the CSU Extension website, extension.colostate. edu/publications-2. grown kids. The inconsistent weather several years back killed many of their trees in the neighborhood, he said. “We had two really nice crab trees in our front yard that died a couple of years ago,” Bell said. “Having trees is really nice — they add to property value.” When planting a tree, Zsako suggests planning ahead — finding the right location, estimating the tree’s potential future size and planting a reasonable distance from buildings or structures. Overall, Zsako was excited Lone Tree will have 39 new trees this spring. “Trees do more than add shade, beauty and comfort,” Zsako said. “They make our lives better. They enhance the value of our property and make fun places to hang out.”

Assessor cites downside to falling property tax rates Rising home values, decreasing taxes may not be a good thing BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rising home equity and decreasing property tax rates sound like a winwin for Colorado homeowners. But Douglas County Assessor Lisa Frizell warns there is a downside. “It’s kind of a nice thing because our taxes won’t increase,” she said. “But there are some underlying problems with it.” Those underlying problems, she said, are adding up. “What we’re going to see is this perfect storm that’s been 27 years in the making,” Frizell said. “It’s always been expected that the growth would pay for itself, but that’s not the case.” Gallagher sets the stage Property tax assessment rates have been falling despite increasing property values. The reason, in short, is an amendment to the state Constitution that limits the amount of revenue that can be collected from homeowners. Lower assessment rates mean the local districts collect less revenue to fund schools and other government services. As the population and demand for those services increase, mill levies for schools and fees for other services like water and sanitation will have to increase to cover the shortfall, Frizell said. A report from the Legislative Council, released April 17, sets the assessment rate for 2017-18 at 7.2 percent. While the rate is not as low as economists predicted, localities across the state will still miss out on more than $5.4 billion that could be used for schools and other services. The Gallagher Amendment, a littleknown provision passed in 1982, set a system for establishing tax assessment rates for residential and nonresidential properties, such as farms and commercial space, every two years. The amendment also provides that the amount of revenue collected from residential property taxes must always be lower than the amount from nonresidential property taxes at an approximate ratio of 45 percent to 55 percent. A home’s market value is multiplied by the assessment rate to calculate how much of the property’s value is taxed. For example, the owner of a $350,000 home pays taxes on $27,860 of the home’s value, based on the current assessment rate of 7.96 percent. Enter TABOR Property values have been increasing since the housing market’s recovery, so assessment rates should be on the rise as well. But rates continue to drop because of another amendment to the Colorado Constitution, the Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Passed in 1992, TABOR mandates that any tax increase be approved by voters. So far, no state legislator has
been willing to introduce a bill to increase assessment rates, and thereby increase taxes on homeowners. “It was not seen as a particularly positive thing,” Frizell said. “We did hit a time frame, beginning in 2005, where the calculated rate actually increased, but because TABOR restricts increasFrizell ing (rates), the Legislature opted not to take that to a vote of the people.” In 2003, the residential tax assessment rate fell to 7.96 percent, where it stood until April 17, when it was set at 7.2 percent to prevent collecting more revenues than needed to maintain the 45-55 split. The conflict between TABOR and Gallagher, and the revenue shortage it’s created, are a lot to decipher, and state Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, said voters aren’t to blame if they don’t fully grasp the predicament. “The math doesn’t make sense,” Pettersen said. “Our economy in Colorado is doing very well, yet we’re seeing cuts to our budget like we’re in a recession... It’s just such a complicated confusing mess.” Pettersen added that cuts to the education budget affect availability of programs in elementary and secondary schools, as well as how much the state covers for college tuition. Colorado Senate Majority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said he approved TABOR and Gallagher, believing they were intended to give voters more control over how their tax dollars are spent. But he said that since most homeowners pay their property taxes through an escrow account at their bank, they may not think twice about the issue. “People probably say ‘Yay! Less taxes,’ but these are the primary funding sources for our schools,” Holbert said. “People may not put those two together.” ‘What are you doing?’ Frizell believes the issue requires citizen engagement, and added that she’s seen more involvement from the electorate since the 2016 election. “I would love for them to ask the question of their state legislators: `What are you doing?’ “ Holbert and Pettersen agreed that any change in the state Constitution will have to start at the grassroots level. Pettersen said she has some hope that legislators can reach across the aisle to work on a solution, provided voters initiate the process. “We need enough pressure from our constituents to do something,” Pettersen said. “Anything that’s solved at the state Capitol comes from our constituents.” Holbert said he thinks voters would reject any legislation perceived as a simple tax increase, but added that they may feel differently if they understood how paying less in property taxes can lead to higher mill levies. “If a school district needs more money,” Holbert said, “the residents of that district need to understand

that they could increase the mill or they can go back and work toward increasing the property tax assessment rate... It might be a question people would say yes to if they understood it.” Frizell said it may seem unlikely that Coloradans will ask the Legisla-
ture to raise their taxes, but it may be the only way out of the conundrum. “I don’t like paying taxes any more than anyone else, but at the same time you have to pay for the services you’re getting,” Frizell said. “Sometimes, if something seems too good to be true, it is.”

Banquet shows bond between students, teachers Church hosts 18th annual Teacher Appreciation Banquet BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Austin Harris, a senior at Mountain Vista High School, stood on stage next to his beloved teacher, Mary DeBolt. A presenter read aloud a speech that Harris prepared for DeBolt that described their relationship. “She got me a $5 gift card for Valentine’s Day for being her teacher assistant,” the speech read. The crowd of more than 100 high school seniors, teachers and family members chuckled as Harris and DeBolt hugged and left the stage. Another teacher-student pair took the spotlight, followed by about 50 more. The accolades from high school seniors were part of the 18th annual Teacher Appreciation Banquet, hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Highlands Ranch Stake building, 9800 Foothills Canyon Blvd. The Mormon church has 11 congregations in Highlands Ranch with about 4,000 mem-
bers. The Teacher Appreciation Banquet started in 1999, shortly after the Foothills Canyon Boulevard church was built, as a way to recognize educators in the community. “As a church, we have such a strong focus on education,” said Brandon Wilcox, a counselor of the Highlands Ranch Stake, or division, of the church. “You can’t do enough for teachers — they give and give.” The goal of the annual event is for a senior who is in the church to honor a teacher — from any high school in Highlands Ranch — who has had a significant impact on his or her life. Teachers receive a framed picture with the student’s tribute and a photograph. The students’ remarks, which are read to the crowd, include everything from compliments to amusing memories to struggles and hardships. “You helped me see my selfworth,” one student said at the April 12 event. “You have become one of the most trusted individuals in my life,” another said. “I’m really going to miss you,” multiple students said. Laughter and tears followed the emotional tributes as
students embraced or shook hands with their mentors. Shannon Vance, an English teacher at Mountain Vista High School, was recognized for helping a student with dyslexia. Highlands Ranch is filled with supportive and caring families, the teacher of six years said. “It felt nice to hear the accolades,” Vance said. “I felt very valued.” Though the high school seniors are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, many guests and teachers in attendance at the April 12 banquet were not. Among them was Wendy Vogel, a Douglas County School District Board of Education director. Vogel has attended the event for the past two years, since she was elected to the board. She has two children in high school. “Education can be a thankless career,” Vogel said. “It is so important to let teachers know that they are valued — I encourage my kids to thank and appreciate their teachers.” Rock Canyon High School Principal Andy Abner, who has been in education for 20 years, thanked the church for its continued effort to organize the banquet. He challenged seniors to reach out to

Local ice show reaches 45-year milestone ‘Tale As Old As Time’ is this year’s Showtime on Ice theme BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Celebrating 45 consecutive years of twirling, jumping and gliding on ice, Showtime on Ice will this year stage three of the show’s most popular performances throughout its history: “Grease,” “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Four performances of this year’s show, titled “Tales As Old As Time,” take place at the South Suburban Ice Arena, 6580 S. Vine St. in Centennial, April 28-30. Tickets range from $10 to $20. Professional skaters Ryan Bradley, Starr Andrews and Max Aaron are featured this year. About 150 performers of all levels from across metro Denver, ranging in age from 3 to 65, take to the ice. “What I hear from people year after year is that they had no idea there were this many talented skaters in the area,” said Sally Smith, the show’s style coach and theatrical

She said the event is a highlight of her year. “This is something that I have been doing so long that I fell in love with performing,” Ochitwa said. “It is awesome that the show has gone on for this long.” Daniel Arsenault, 22, plays Danny in “Grease.” “I think this is something that has given a lot of us a love for performing,” Arsenault said. “It has really sparked a love for the sport... A lot of skaters out here live all year for it.” In 1973, Peggy DeLio created the show to expose figure skaters and their communities to Broadway musicals and classics. The goal was to give figure skaters a way to come together as a team. “When she started this, Peggy felt that what the skaters could get from the show is more than what they could get from a competition,” Smith said. “This is a lonely sport.
This is a chance for the kids to get a team feeling. They come together as skaters.” Smith started her career in musical theater. After a vocal cord injury, she decided to go into teaching theater and taught at Ponderosa High School in Parker for 20 years. After retiring from teaching, she started working with Showtime on Ice. The show is an annual event in Centennial. While most ice shows have an opening and ending number with several individual performances, Showtime on Ice is an entire production. “There is always something to watch,” Smith said. “People can see the story unfold in front of them and see national and world competitors who come out and skate. It is not a recital.” Smith, who has worked at Showtime on Ice for 22 years, admires the camaraderie, commitment and dedication that the young skaters demonstrate. She said the parents, volunteers and staff commit their time to the show for the kids. “For all of us it is an investment in children,” Smith said. “There is no better investment than the investment in children and helping them make a memory.”

Colleges brew up a new degree BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sales of craft beer rose 6.2 percent in the United States in 2016, according to the Brewers Association, a craft beer industry trade group. Colorado has long been at the forefront of the brewing industry, and the state boasts about 300 craft breweries, says the Colorado Brewers Guild. While many pioneers in the craft beer industry started out homebrewing as a hobby while working in other careers, a new academic specialty has begun popping up at colleges and universities. “There is a huge demand for people who are coming into the industry with specific fermentation knowledge,” said Jessica Blatecky, a biology instructor at Arapahoe Community College who is coordinating the school’s new fermentation sciences program. The program, launching this fall, is
ACC’s second attempt at a fermentation sciences degree. Last fall, only seven people enrolled for the first class and it was canceled. The associate of science program includes two fermentation classes — craft beer brewing and fermented foods sciences — in a curriculum that also includes microbiology. Students must be 21 or older in order to take the craft beer class. Scott Kerkmans, who heads up the brewing program at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said that industryspecific degrees have become increasingly important in the beer world in the past few years. “It’s turned from a trade into a profession,” Kerkmans said. “And because of that, you need specific knowledge.” Jeff Callaway, associate director of fermentation science and technology at SEE CLASSES, P11

Fertilizer: arch enemy of waterways. Streams, lakes and reservoirs don’t need it. Your lawn may not need it, either. Fertilizer, like other products that serve a necessary purpose, can become a problem if misused. Most lawn fertilizers contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, represented by a three-number string on the front of the bag. Nutrient needs vary from lawn to lawn and can only be determined by testing the soil. If over-applied, rain carries away excess nutrients not needed by plants and washes them to the nearest waterway, causing excess algae growth that uses up vital oxygen for fish. Please take the time to have your soil tested to determine your lawn’s needs. This simple, small change in your lawn care makes a huge difference, not only to the health of your lawn but also to your nearby rivers, creeks and lakes.

HOPE Online gets improvement plan from state board School faced hearing after years of low ratings by state BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
HOPE Online and the Colorado State Board of Education have agreed on an improvement program that will see the school’s board of directors expand from five to seven members and will include a management partnership to support teacher and leadership development. HOPE Online, a K-12 multidistrict online charter school that has been authorized by the Douglas County School district since 2008, went before the state board April 13 in a first-of-its kind hearing after being marked in the bottom two tiers of the state accountability ratings for more than five years. “This is the first time we’ve reached the end of the accountability clock,” said Brenda Bautsch, head of the Colorado Department of Education’s accountability, performance and support division.
The CDE found that “persistent challenges with student performance are present at both the elementary and middle level, in English language arts and math achievement and growth.” Hope Online Learning Academy Elementary School earned a Turnaround rating from 201014. In 2016, the school earned a Priority Improvement rating for the first time. Hope Online Learning Academy Middle School has fluctuated between “Priority Improvement” and “Turnaround” over the past six years. HOPE also offers a high school program, which was not under review. Districts and schools assigned to a Priority Improvement or Turnaround plan have the lowest performing student outcomes of all districts and schools in Colorado, according to the state’s primary accountability tool, the District and School Performance Framework. The ratings are based on academic achievement, growth and post-secondary and workforce readiness. Districts and schools on Priority Improvement or Turnaround plans tend to be falling short of state expectations for students in each of these areas. “We think that with the improvement plan we will see
changes and are optimistic that they will be heading in the right direction,” Bautsch said. The process will take several years, Bautsch said. The worse-case scenario for the hearing would have been for the board to direct DCSD to revoke the HOPE charter, which would have effectively closed the school. State law is silent on what happens if the school fails to improve under the new plan, CDE said. There will be no financial penalties for HOPE. HOPE Online first opened in 2005-06 and was authorized by the Vilas School District in southeast Colorado until it transferred to Douglas County in 2008. The majority of HOPE Students come from outside the Douglas County School District. “The Douglas County School District is the authorizer of HOPE Online Learning Academy, and will monitor and provide ongoing support as HOPE implements their plan with the involvement of an external management team,” the district said in an email. “It is important to note Douglas County School District will also be evaluating HOPE’s application for renewal of its charter in the spring of 2018. We believe HOPE is
committed to improving learning environments for students in all of their learning centers across the state.” The model HOPE Online uses differs from the fully virtual model in which students receive instruction remotely. Students enrolled in HOPE Online attend brick-and-mortar learning centers every day on a set, full-day schedule. HOPE Online has 26 learning centers in 11 school districts in Colorado. The Douglas County center is in Castle Rock. The elementary and middle schools enroll 1,788 students, according to the CDE. In a letter of support to the state board, DCSD Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn expressed her support for HOPE. “As the president of the Board of Education of HOPE’s authorizer, the Douglas County School District, I am proud of all that HOPE brings to a special population of children across the state,” she wrote. “DCSD supports HOPE in its mission to provide a quality academic alternative to parents and students. We take our role very seriously and we will continue to work with HOPE as it implements appropriate improvement actions.”

Colorado State University, said fermentation-specific education can help students get hands-on experience. “It’s certainly not required but it is getting more helpful,” he said of the value of degrees in the field. Littleton’s St. Patrick’s Brewing Co. will help add a practical component to Blatecky’s coursework. St. Patrick’s founder and brewmaster Chris Phelps, who describes himself as a self-taught brewer who learned the principles of fermentation through reading and experimentation, said he believes there is value in a fermentation science degree. “More and more brewers ask for it as a requirement on a resume,” he said. ACC has arranged transfer agreements with Metro State and CSU, both of which offer related bachelor’s degrees. Metro has brewery operations and craft brewing and pub operations offerings.

department, is designed to educate students not just on beer but on the myriad other beverages and foods that are fermented. Non-beer fermented products, of course, include other alcoholic beverages, but also foods such as sausage, cheese, yogurt and pickles, as well as kombucha, an increasingly trendy fermented tea. “Fermentation is taking any type of sugar and converting it to alcohol, gas or acid,” Blatecky said. Kombucha and other fermented products are popular in the health food industry, and she sees potential for graduates entering that line of work as well as brewing. But the biggest area of demand for people with fermentation expertise may be quality control at breweries, she said. Callaway said that most CSU fermentation students are hoping to find jobs in brewing or distilling. Blatecky said that while people with more generalized science backgrounds certainly work in the field, they may require significant on-the-job training. “You are working with a delicate science,” she said.

QUIET DESPERATION

utside of a dog,” Groucho Marx said, “a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark too read.” I thought about becoming a veterinarian. But I don’t have what it takes, and it takes a lot. Your veterinarian knows everything there is to know about the maintenance and repair of all kinds and ages of dogs and cats. But that’s not enough. A veterinarian has to be able to tell a 6-yearold or a 60-year-old that their best friend didn’t make it through surgery. I couldn’t do it. Most of us have outlived a number of pets. I have purchased, adopted, rescued, fed,
housed and named chameleons, gerbils, turtles, fish, a cockatiel, a conure (parrot), a pigeon (bad idea) and two dachshunds. There have been cremations, funerals and flushes, and it’s always a Bad Day at Black Rock. The expiration of a goldfish is one thing, and perhaps it’s a beneficial learning experience about life and death when you are young. However, the death of a dog or a cat is much more than that. On the bright side of pet ownership, there are men and women who are trained and willing to help with the well-being of our pets. And to do it with compassion. My dachshund has a veterinarian exactly
like that. His name is Dr. Bruce Bowman. He opened his Highlands Ranch clinic in 1985, when Highlands Ranch was one of Denver’s distant neighbors. The pet care profession requires sacrifices that most of us would be unable to make. The around-the-clock operations of one (great) boarding kennel in Watkins have essentially curtailed the free time of its owners. At least my college students went home at night. I think that 20 or 30 sleepover Smittys would be endearing in its way, but approximating a Tim Burton nightmare as well. SEE SMITH, P13

ig Ziglar, one of the world’s greatest and most recognizable faces, voices, and names in the history of motivation WINNING and personal development, WORDS was from Yazoo City, Mississippi. Zig used to love to talk about his hometown and share just how small of a place Yazoo City was. And then he would tie that Michael Norton story to a really relevant point to connect the end of his funny description. Zig would share with the audience that he could prove that Yazoo City was indeed the center of the universe, and then he would go on to explain and rationalize his statement by saying that because you can get anywhere and go anywhere you wanted from his small town, that must mean that you can go anywhere in life you wanted to go from wherever you are. The choice was always up to the listener. I am remembering this now story because the other day I was on a conference call and one
of the participants was actually in Yazoo City. And when I shared with her that I had heard Yazoo City was the center of the universe and you can go anywhere you want to go from there, she quickly replied, “Oh no you cannot.” As I tried to share Zig’s story, she continued to argue against the point and it was obvious to see how she may be somewhat representative of many of us who have become jaded in some way, or maybe even lost our own center of the universe. So that got me to thinking about the situation here in our very own country. Every day the Republicans are pointing at the Democrats and the Democrats are pointing back at the Republicans. It seems like the truth can be really elusive. And we all know the truth can always be found somewhere in the middle. This is not an article meant to fix a broken political system, but rather to remind us all that perhaps we have gotten a little too far from center. The taboo used to be, and maybe still is in some places, that we should never discuss money, politics, or religion in certain situations, or maybe even never at all. Well

now we have taken this philosophy to an extreme. I know couples who cannot discuss politics or it erupts in a terrible argument. I have heard of couples becoming separated and possibly divorced as they cannot find their way back to center. And this lack of center when it comes to the state of money, politics and religion has even caused tremendous strife and chasm between siblings, friends, and the closest of partners or co-workers. We have become so focused on the extreme far side of a problem that we have lost sight of the center right in front of us, our spouses, our children and our family and friends.

to trim the profits and weed out the dead weight to prepare for opportunities. The old adage of buy low and sell high sounds simple, but most investors do not take the time to take profits at these record highs. Buying low requires some research to determine what categories are expected to perform in the future that may be undervalued currently. Knowing the difference between a buying opportunity and a lost cause is tricky. Review your taxes and determine how you can improve your situation for the remaining eight months of the year. Maximize your 401(k) plan or fund your IRA to reduce your taxable income. Update your withholding at work to avoid getting too much money back or owing. Take a look at your investments. Are they spinning off too much taxable income such as dividends and interest? Is there a way to convert some investments to more tax efficient positions? Take a hard look at your investment statements. Do you see large profits that pushed some positions beyond your original guidelines for risk? What are the chances that a high performer can continue at that same pace all year? Many investors already earned more than half what they did during all of 2016. Do you hold positions where that level of return is sustainable? If not, it is time to rebalance. Evaluate your financial goals. Make certain your investment portfolio still matches your goals. Confirm you are on track to meet your financial obligations. We have been given a freebie with nice
could be somewhere, anywhere for that matter, and if I knew I could go anywhere I wanted to go, and that the choice was up to me, I would choose to get back to the center of my universe, and in front of the person or people most important to me. They could be from the left side or from the right side, it doesn’t matter because my focus is and should be on the relationship that is the center of my universe. So how about you, do prefer the extreme periphery or do you enjoy the center of your universe?

returns for the last 14 months. See if it makes sense to re-allocate some of your holdings to protect gains and be ready to take advantage of a market downturn. Be aware of the political situation worldwide and understand this can impact your investments going forward. Strained relations with Russia and Syria could create an unexpected downturn in economies across the globe. Elections in France and later this year in Germany could impact the Eurozone, especially after the British exit. How will this affect the strength of the dollar, trading and foreign holdings? What is happening in Washington that would cause the economy to slow down or the markets to take a rest here? There is a lot going on that we can’t predict the outcome of very well. There is always opportunity in uncertainty. But in order to be ready to take advantage of that, you need to get your financial house in order. Review your goals, strategy and holdings. Trim the profits and weed out the dead weight to make room for new possibilities for growth. Perhaps it is time for a plan update or second opinion of your accounts. Then when you file everything away you are ready to enjoy the springtime.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12
Dr. Bowman is always direct and thorough when he informs me about Smitty’s conditions. The most impressive thing might be how well he communicates what needs to be done, and what my options are. “Communication,” he said, “can be the hardest part in medicine. We weren’t trained in compassion. “Sometimes the best surgeon is the worst in translating doctorspeak to humans.” Smitty had his teeth cleaned recently. It’s a big deal for a dog, and I had to sign off on it. He had some other work done at the same time. A growth was removed from one upper eyelid, along with a couple of benign bumps that belied his handsome exterior.
Of course, as the father, I worried about the dear fellow all day, until I picked him up. He was fine. He ate some homework, drank a beverage, and took a long nap. Business as usual. The day will come, because the day has come before, when I won’t bring my friend back home. Maybe he will take it upon himself, or I might have to rely upon Dr. Bowman. Or, better, one of those in-home services. If I have the opportunity, that’s what I will do. We’ll listen to Saint-Saëns’ “The Carnival of the Animals,” Smitty’s favorite, and I will read Dickens to him, like I do every night. World Veterinary Day is Saturday, April 29.

LIFE
Finding faith in unique ways Churches get personal, interactive with new approaches to Bible study BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
hen Amanda Horvath moved from Boston to the Denver area for school, she was looking for a place where she could find a sense of community. “I immediately felt at home when I started attending South Fellowship’s Summit group for young adults,” she said. “Not only did it provide me a community and support system, I met my roommate there.” The Summit is one example of new approaches to one of the classic pieces of church culture — Bible study. Instead of meeting in a church basement over coffee and snacks, many of today’s churches are taking the study of scripture into the community — and into people’s lives. For some churches, that means going to members’ homes, meeting in a bar or restaurant, and even fitting discussion into fitness routines. No matter where or when the study happens, it’s all about intertwining faith and daily life. “We have our meetings at our members’ homes every week,” said Yvonne Biel, director of Young Adults Ministry in Littleton’s South Fellowship church. “We talk about life decisions and who we are as people. Our members know they’re loved by God and our community.” The Mile High Vineyard church, which has locations in Arvada, Lakewood and Westminster, also employes a lifestyle-based approach to its Bible study groups, called Circles. “We believe life is lived not in rows, but in circles,” said Corey Garris, pastor of the Arvada Vineyard location. “We don’t have a prescription for how the groups have to go or what they have to cover. Because of this, we can have one group that focuses on marriage issues, another that does a more traditional Bible study approach, and another that is more community focused.” In both The Summit and Circles, the Bible is used as a touchstone and starting point for the meetings. Sometimes, the chapter or verse complements a Sunday sermon, and other times the meetings follow their own path or curriculum. “All our groups have the basic elements of community and connection, and we make sure there is some kind of content, as well,”
Bible study in the gym. Members of Faith Rx’d take a break during training to discuss Scripture. Garris said. “We want to energize people’s intellects, and we follow that with prayer time.” For Horvath, one of the best parts of The Summit is how it connects people to each other’s lives, and the comfort that comes from digging deep into life and spirituality. “Our meetings usually include dinner, and we rotate on who is cooking for the night,” she said. “We go through the reading and ask some of the bigger questions — things like what is your image of God, and how does it impact our lives.” These approaches seems downright traditional to new interactive approaches to Bible study, like that of Faith Rx’d, which blends faith and fitness. “Our program started out of the experiences of my wife, Becky, who competed in cycling and in CrossFit,” explained Jim Conzelman, co-founder and operations director of Faith Rx’d. “As she competed, we started building a fellowship of Christian athletes, and we built our program around that idea.” Since its creation, Faith Rx’d has expanded to about 63 area chapters around the world, with the Conzelmans running the operation out of its Littleton headquarters. The Denver chapter meets about three times a month for sessions that feature biblical discussion and high octane workouts. “Our camps always have some kind of focal point, perhaps a chapter or a devotional,” Conzelman said. “It’s an opportunity to step away from your daily life. It’s an opportunity to put faith in a fitness context.” One thing all these approaches have in common is discussion — and fellowship rarely stops when

Members of Faith Rx’d go through fitness activities as part of the group’s approach to Bible study.
FINDING THE RIGHT BIBLE STUDY FOR YOU Many of today’s churches offer members a variety of options when it comes to Bible and small group studies. Churches like Mile High Vineyard and South Fellowship offer groups that focus on particular age ranges, or time of life, like marriage. “Different groups scratch different itches,” the meeting is over. Small groups will often gather after the meeting, sometimes at a bar or restaurant. “As leaders, we’re just here to provide feedback and ideas for the group leaders,” Garris said. “This is about transforming lives and fostering growth in our members.”
said Corey Garris, pastor of the Arvada Vineyard location. “We have people coming who are new to faith, and others have followed Jesus for years.” Reaching out to pastors for recommendations is a good way to find a study or group that is a good fit. But with social media and websites, people also can use the internet to find the perfect match. Through her group, Horvath has made some of the most important connections of her life. “I’ve found people I can trust and be vulnerable with,” she said. “We celebrate life’s big moments together and support each other in the hard times.”

Photographer to present world made of small objects Andy Marquez’s new book will be presented in area readings BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Gustavo’s nose broke twice and he fell into the bushes,” local photographer Andy Marquez reported, as he recounted the process of creating a story with little objects he had collected during 30-plus years of world travel. Gustavo, a mini Viking from Norway, and Vilhelm, a similar little character from Sweden, are described as “Journeymen from a Different Time” on the cover of Marquez’s new book, “The Adventures of Vilhelm and Gustavo.”
He will introduce the book in a series of readings at area locations, beginning April 29 at Solid Grounds Coffee Shop, 2-5 p.m., 6504 S. Broadway, Littleton. After a conversation with a friend, Marquez, with help on 10 shots from his 20-year-old daughter Nikki, imagined a search sort of storyline and composed items from the collection in close-up outdoor Marquez locations — 30 of 59 images are within 50 yards of his Roxborough condo, he said. He calls these objects “overseas characters,” and smiles as he talks about the fun he had, imaging each image. Other scenes were shot near C-470 and Santa Fe Drive, along the South Platte River and at Cheesman Park.
Some shots involved as many as five visits to get the light right. “Reach within for a child within,” he said. The 40-page book is a contemporary fairy tale, which will entertain adults and kids. Father Fine (France) sets out into the forest seeking Little Fish (China), who can heal. The little priest travels widely, assisted by his helpers. Some magic berries are needed and finally, Gustavo finds them. On the way, there will be a lizard from Spain, a camel from India, little Greek figures and more … Marquez first exhibited his images in Houston in 1984. He and his wife, Teresa, moved to Colorado the following year, with galleries in several Littleton locations. He also displayed and sold work at more than 800 art festivals across the country and published five books.
From 1993 to 2005, he traveled to 32 countries, photographing scenes and people. Dates set as of press time (we will update): • April 29 (2-5 p.m.) at Solid Grounds Coffee Shop, 6504 S. Broadway, Littleton. • May 5 (4-7 p.m.) and May 6 (noon-4 p.m.) in Safeway Center at Roxborough, 8351 N. Rampart Range Road. • May 7 at Pavilion at the Lake at Trailmark (contact andymarquezimages@gmail.com for time) • May 20, Englewood Library, Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. • May 31, Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. • June 7 and 10, Romancing the Bean coffee shop at the Downtown Littleton Light Rail Station.

ThunderRidge’s Brody Perkins upends Highlands Ranch third baseman Zac Dammel trying to get safely to base. The April 14 game was designated Jackie Robinson Day and all players and coaches wore No. 42 as a tribute to the late hall of famer, who was the first African-American to play Major League baseball in the modern era. The ThunderRidge announcing team shared facts and trivia on Robinson between innings. The home-team Grizzlies ended up on top by the score of 8-1. PAUL DISALVO
Jaguars pile up points at Pomona meet Rock Canyon boys fifth, girls 10th at invitational BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rock Canyon’s track teams continued exhibiting the quality of its talented athletes as the boys were fifth among 40 teams and the
girls were 10th among 28 teams at the April 14-15 Pomona Invitational Track Meet at Jefferson County Stadium. “We have a very talented team, particularly on the boys side,” Jaguars coach Dave Davies said. “We were second at the Thomas Jefferson meet last week and third at the Lyons meet the week before that. We finished behind Vista Ridge both weeks and that is not bad
because they are a team expected to win the 4A state title.” He said he had 105 athletes come out for track and more than 60 percent of the turnout was boys. “One of the strengths of our boys team is our distance runners. These guys won the league in cross country and were third at state. Another strong point is the fact our

Tommy Mott, lacrosse, senior, Highlands Ranch: Mott tallied six goals to improve his Continental League-leading points totals to 37 goals and 64 points in the Falcons’ 16-9 win over Douglas County on April 11. Tim Wink, baseball, junior, Douglas
County: He went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and four RBI in the Huskies’ 13-4 victory over Chaparral. Sam Beecher, baseball, senior, Ponderosa: Beecher drove in five runs while going 2-for-4 in the Mustangs’ 14-3 win over Castle View as Ponderosa overcame a 3-1 deficit to scored 13 runs in the top of the seventh inning.

ruce Wright doesn’t take anything for granted, so he is retiring following the current school year after 21 years as the Highlands Ranch High School athletic director. “My wife has been retired for a few years and has kind been waiting for me to retire,” Wright OVERTIME said. “There are no guarantees in life, and when you can do something, do it because you don’t want to wait, because if something happens then you can’t do what you want to do. When you can do something and have the opportunity, do it. “It is hard to leave. I love Jim Benton what I do. It’s difficult, but it’s time to move on. What stands out for me was working with the kids and coaches we have had.” Wright and his wife Sue are moving to Oro Valley, six miles north of Tucson, Arizona. “We’re going to do a lot of traveling, enjoy the grandkids and just enjoy life,” Wright said. Preston Davis, Littleton High’s athletic director and former Smoky Hill AD, will replace Wright at Highlands Ranch. Davis also was a football, lacrosse and girls basketball coach in the Cherry Creek school district. “He’s going to do a great job,” Wright said. “I’ve known him for a while and he’s a class act. We really have a good coaching staff here and with him being a former coach helps. We’re really set for some really good things to come in the next couple years. The table is set really well and he just needs to continue to nurture those coaches.” This seems like a small thing, but it’s a big reason Wright will be missed: Waiting is something we all do, whether it is waiting in line, waiting for a stoplight or just waiting for the days, hours and minutes to pass. But I never had to wait long for Wright to return a call or email, and he was always helpful for any request I might have made. Baseball state leaders In no game are statistics used as much as in baseball to allow fans and managers/ coaches to compare the performances of players to one another. So here’s a look at some area players who are state leaders through games of April 15: • JD Wadleigh, a Green Mountain junior who played as a freshman at Faith Christian, leads Class 4A with a 1.242 slugging percentage in addition to leading the Class 4A Jefferson County League in five categories. • Skyview sophomore Corey Musch is tied for the 4A stolen base lead with 19 steals. • Brock Johnson, a Douglas County junior catcher, leads Class 5A with a .304 caughtstealing percentage. He has thrown out seven runners on 23 stolen base attempts in 11 games. • Cody Schultz, a senior at Cherry Creek, is tops in runs scored in 5A with 24 in 11 games. SEE BENTON, P24

shot and discus guys are throwing well,” the coach said. “Our girls team really doesn’t have a lot of depth. We do have some good sprinters, a good hurdler and one of our distance girls is running well.” Fountain Fort Carson scored 113 points to finish first in the field of 34 teams while the Jaguars finished fifth with 45 points, just a half point behind fourth-place Pomona. Rock Canyon senior Bailey Timmons won the 3,200-meter run and teammate Chris Theodore was second. They also competed in the 1,600-meter run as Timmons finished second, Theodore was third and teammate Easton Allred was seventh. Blake Williams scored points for the Jaguars as he was fifth in the high jump. A host of other area teams competed in the boys division. Moun-

In the girls division, Cherokee Trail took top honors with 78 points while Rock Canyon was 10th with 38 points. The team finish for other area schools in the meet included Mountain Vista at fifth, Cherry Creek at sixth, Douglas County at seventh, Castle View at 11th, Arapahoe at 13th, ThunderRidge at 15th, Legend at 17th and Littleton at 26th. Emily Sloan was Rock Canyon’s only event winner as she ran faster than 54 other competitors to win the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.01. Riley Masten was second in the high jump. Emma Goble, Randi Higashi, Tanner Riker and Emily Stillwell joined forces for the Jaguars to finish third in the 800-meter spring medley relay. Riker also finished fourth in the 400-meter run.

Falcons push past Huskies in boys lacrosse Highlands Ranch has strong fourth quarter against Douglas County BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The April 11 Highlands Ranch-Douglas County boys lacrosse game lived up to expectations. It was a fast-paced, hard-hitting contest with players from both teams frequently getting knocked to the turf as a result of collisions
T.K. Hammond fires a shot on goal for Highlands Ranch during an April 11 boys league soccer game played at Shea Stadium. This shot was deflected but Hammond had a goal and an assist as the Falcons offense broke open a close game in the fourth quarter to post a 16-9 win.
and checks. The game developed into a back-and-forth contest for three periods, but the Falcons exploded for eight fourth-quarter goals to win the game 16-9. “We have a decent amount of depth, which helps now that we are dealing with some injuries,” Falcons coach Matt Bocklet said after the game. “We are a pretty balanced team and I am happy with the way we stepped up, particularly in the fourth quarter as we outscored them 8 to 2 to get the win.” SEE LACROSSE, P32

Key moments The Falcons took a 2-0 lead in the first quarter but Douglas County rallied to keep the game close. Highlands Ranch led 4-3 at halftime and scored the first four goals of the third period. But the Huskies came back and trailed 8-7 going into the final 12 minutes of the game. That was when the Falcons offense took control as they scored two goals in less than 15 seconds and went on to win, 16-9. Key players/statistics The Falcons took 36 shots on goal and seven players scored goals for the team. Tommy Mott led the scoring with six goals and teammate Jimmy Pettet scored four goals. Three players, Joe Bertsch, Nick Gallegos and T.K. Hammond each scored a goal and had an assist, while Jake Lyon and Kobe Eller each scored a goal. Hunter Heaston was in goal for Highlands Ranch and he made 10 saves. On the field, Brock Taylor took a total of 18 faceoffs and won nine of them. They said it Tommy Mott plays attack, and the six goals he scored against Douglas
County raises his season total to 37 goals and four assists. “My dad was a pro lacrosse player and he taught me the sport. I played basketball for a while but I was good at lacrosse, so I dropped basketball to focus on my favorite sport,” the Falcons senior said after the game. “My dad was a lefty attackman like I am and he taught me a lot of tricks of the trade to help me put good shots on goal.” He said it feels great to take the ball deep in his own territory and maneuver the length of the field to get in position for a good shot. “You have to know where to go,” he said. “The other team’s guys are playing defense so they will try to keep you away from the goal and they will try to take the ball away from you. You have to be smart, look for openings and, if they aren’t there, pass the ball to a teammate to keep the attack going” He smiled and said his lacrosse career will continue after graduation because earlier that day he had signed to play Division I lacrosse for the Air Force Academy. Going forward The win raises the Falcons’ overall record to 6-4 and they are now 1-1 in league, tied for third place with Rock Canyon in the standings. Highlands Ranch will close out the regular season April 28 against Mountain Vista.
