School board members face intimidation probe Ponderosa protest organizer recorded meeting with pair

By Mike DiFerdinando mferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com The Douglas County School Board agreed April 19 to launch an independent investigation

into board President Meghann Silverthorn and Vice President Judith Reynolds after 16-year-old Ponderosa student Grace Davis said she was intimidated and bullied by the pair in a private meeting about the March protest she organized at the school. The three newest school board members, who said they had listened to a recording Davis made of that meeting, also called

unsuccessfully for Silverthorn’s and Reynolds’ resignations. “There is no excuse for two adults to intimidate a … student on school grounds,” board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said. Davis was one of about 100 students at Ponderosa who held a peaceful protest March 9 to ask why teachers were leaving their school and district. Board continues on Page 16

Son follows in firefighting footsteps 14 students take part in fire science program By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Evan Davros and his father Tom got the chance to ﬁght a simulated ﬁre together April 11.

For ThunderRidge High School senior Evan Davros, walking into a burning building with his father has always been a dream. He got his chance April 11 as part of the culmination of his time in the Douglas County Fire Science Program. Davros and other students fought a simulated fire at the South Metro Fire Rescue Training Center in Parker. “It’s cool having my dad there,” Davros said. “It’s kind of surreal really. I grew up in the firehouse. I would see him go on calls and stuff, and now to actually be there is fantastic.” Davros’ father, Tom, is a firefighter for South Metro. He has worked as a

firefighter for 18 years and as an EMT for 20. “The firehouse is all he’s ever known since he was an infant,” said Evan’s mom, Tina. “We would do the kid swap at the firehouse. My husband would be getting off and I would be going to work. That’s where he grew up.” Davros was part of the year-long course run through Rock Canyon High School and in conjunction with South Metro Fire, Littleton Fire Rescue and the Douglas County School District. This year’s program consisted of 14 students from six different high schools: Rock Canyon, ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista, Douglas County and Legend. There were also two students from Arapahoe High School in Littleton. Students learn emergency medical care, hazmat and ice rescue, as well as traditional firefighting skills.

Lone Tree voters expecting to receive ballots for the city council and mayoral election scheduled for May 3 should not plan a long wait by the mailbox for ballots this month. The city posted a notice on its website on April 6 announcing that it is canceling the election, citing that each of the three candidates, one for mayor and two for city council were all running unopposed. “They’re declared elected,” said Jennifer Pettinger, city clerk. Despite the canceled election, there will be a significant turnover in the makeup of the council when the new mayor and the two new council members are sworn in on May 17. Mayor Jim Gunning, who is termlimited this year and is not eligible for reelection, will hand off the gavel to Mayor Pro Tem and District 1 Councilmember Jackie Millet. Millet will vacate her council seat with two years remaining on her second term to take over the center seat. Election continues on Page 11

Take a journey back in time A pair of free tours at 9:30 a.m. May 14 will give area history buffs the opportunity to learn about some of Douglas County’s first inhabitants — from the mammoths of prehistoric times to the pioneering homesteaders of the 1860s. The guided tours — in celebration of National Historic Preservation Month — will pay a visit to the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve as well as the oldest standing structure in the Chatfield region, the Miksch-Helmer Cabin. Those interested in attending the tours are required to RSVP in advance, as space is limited. Visit lambspring.org to sign up or call 303-6607460 for more information. The tours are sponsored by the Douglas County Historical Preservation Board, the Roxborough Area Historical Society and the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve.

Loving it here Colorado is the best state out there. I live in Aurora, and I’ve worked here for 2 1/2 years. I want to eventually get experience in managing a restaurant and eventually open my own bar and grill. My passions I’m actually very passionate about whatever other people are passionate about. I like seeing people perform their art and do what makes them happy. I really get enjoyment out of that. Nobody that I know personally — just like artists performing music. Really, just being able to watch people perform their passions is what I get passionate about. I’m also passionate about my relationship with friends. My hobbies Besides listening to music, I like throwing the Frisbee around with my friends, playing hacky sack. Being able to forget the hustle and bustle you have to be in to pay all these bills and to really thrive in society. It’s really just nice to not have to worry about that stuff and laugh with your friends. And, really I hang out here with my friends. This is kind of the spot.

Rocky Vista addresses students’ mental health The Student Government Association at Rocky Vista University in Parker conducted Mental Health Awareness Week at the campus April 4-8. Surveys at the university revealed that one of four students feared they would never graduate and 84 percent of students frequently felt emotionally exhausted. “Our goal is to help students combat these statistics and learn lifelong wellness habits in their journey to becoming physicians,” said Dr. Laura Mohr, director of counseling services at Rocky Vista. During the week, speakers addressed issues like substance abuse among physicians and finding a balance between caring for patients and physician self-care.

Active-shooter training center opens at gun club Five-day program is the ﬁrst of its kind in Colorado By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com After the Paris terrorist attacks that left at least 130 dead and hundreds wounded last November, Centennial Gun Club’s general manager, Dick Abramson, was prompted to act. “I got calls from people saying, `Wow, this could happen in my business — what do I do?’” Abramson partnered with veteran U.S. Navy SEAL Jimmy Graham in opening the new Active Shooter Response Training Center at the Centennial Gun Club, 11800 E. Peakview Ave., on April 15. The five-day training program teaches defense skills and tactics, including de-escalation, physical contact and lethal force. Graham, of Castle Rock, earned the rank of chief petty officer (E7) during his 15 years as a Navy SEAL. He’s a certified federal firearms instructor and has trained law enforcement officers, corporate personnel and citizens across the nation, according to a news release. Graham, director and lead instructor of the center, trains participants in how to protect themselves from a terrorist threat, active shooter and other aggressive encounters. Participants learn how to react quickly in dangerous scenarios through simulated experience and role playing. The handson training program is open to everybody, Abramson said, but primary contacts are from corporations, schools and churches. ASRTC is the first in the state and third in the nation to use the military’s “Close Quarters Defense,” developed by tactical trainer Duane Dieter and used by Navy SEALs. The program “provides the highestquality tactical training services and personal development skills to security professionals and vetted citizens of our nation,” according to the Close Quarters Defense website.

In the center’s five-day training program, participants acquire unarmed defense skills, de-escalation techniques, pistol safety, armed responsibility, situational awareness, live-fire safety and training in moving with a firearm, among others. Participants must complete a final training exercise where the situation is as real as possible, said Graham. “One of the most important things people need to know about situations like this is that response time is about nine minutes,” he said. “Active-shooter scenarios have about a two- to three-minute time frame.” The program offers sustainment training — two-hour, quarterly sessions for the following year so participants can maintain skills. The goal isn’t to transform individuals

into soldiers or Navy SEALS, Graham said, but to teach Coloradans how to protect themselves and others.

“When it’s a very dynamic, dangerous situation, we need to act right away,” he said.

Noah Leonard, 9, has been going to Children’s Hospital Colorado Therapy Care in Littleton since he was 2. The facility moved from Littleton to Highlands Ranch on April 4, and Noah will continue going twice a week for learning therapy. He and his parents are pleased with the new location, which has “supersized” rooms, playful wall décor and patterned floors. “It’s a lot roomier and more cheerful,” said Noah’s mother, Amy. “He loves everything about it.” Therapy Care, Highlands Ranch, at 9139 Ridgeline Blvd., is part of Children’s Hospital Colorado Pediatric Mental Health Institute. The 27,600-square-foot facility is significantly larger and nicer than its previous location, said senior vice president Suzy Jaeger, chief patient experience and access officer. “It has outpatient behavioral and developmental health services,” she said. “We see it as an extension of South Campus.” Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus, at 1811 Plaza Drive, offers ur-

gent, hospital and specialist care among other services. It’s minutes away from Therapy Care, Highlands Ranch. Therapy Care expanded its psychiatry and psychology services and added developmental pediatrics and neuropsychology. It also offers audiology, learning services, occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology. Pediatric providers and therapists evaluate infants, toddlers and adolescents and “recommend individualized treatment goals and plans” according to Children’s Hospital Colorado. The facility’s quiet side has private observation rooms, audiology booths and family counseling rooms. One room is equipped with Telehealth — a large screen that’s used to videoconference outside clinics. “We are using technology to support our kids as much as possible,” said Beth Hutchinson, physical therapy program manager of Children’s Hospital Colorado. The adjacent side has sensory gyms for playful activity. A few larger rooms are equipped with tables and kitchens. The group-like setting teaches typical routines and activities, such as cooking, said Hutchinson. The additional space in Children’s Hospital Colorado Therapy Care, Highlands Ranch makes all the difference, said Jaeger. “We are excited to see the services it offers the community,” she said.

Survivors, advocates honored Awards ceremony was ﬁrst for the 18th Judicial District

AWARD WINNERS Business Innovation Award — Embassy Suites Denver Tech Center

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Courage was the theme at the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office’s first Distinguished Crime Victim Service Awards, held at Two Penguins Tap and Grill in Centennial. “These are phenomenal people, “ said District Attorney George Brauchler. “There’s no way we could do what we do without them.” Many awards given at the April 14 ceremony were centered around the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. James Holmes was sentenced last year to life in prison for murdering 12 people. Among those recognized for their efforts during the tragedy and the trial: Embassy Suites Denver Tech, Aurora Police Department victim advocate Rusty Cain, the Aurora Police Department first responders, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office court services deputies and court facility dog volunteers Alyce Blevins and Kateri Nelson. “We were in hell,” said Maria Carbonell, a theater-shooting survivor. “I remember having a conversation with a victim advocate from (the Aurora Police Department) and she had a way about her. Just the way she would talk to me — she wasn’t afraid, she was strong. And for me, I really needed that at that time.” Four survivors of various crimes, whose names were withheld for safety reasons, were also recognized at the ceremony for their courage. One young survivor of child sexual assault was praised for her resilience and courage in revisiting a tragedy from her youth. Her testimony helped put the predator in prison after he became a repeat offender. The awards ceremony was held in conjunction with National Crime

County continues motorsports discussion Staff was directed to provide further regulations for the accessory-use category By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com County commissioners will decide later this month whether to implement permanent regulations regarding motorsport activities on rural land. A three-hour discussion at the April 12 Douglas County Land Use Meeting and Public Hearing was focused on zoning resolutions for rural residential motorsport uses. After hearing 55 public speakers, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, who were hearing the item for the first time, voted to continue the discussion to

the April 26 meeting. “I think this is a great beginning, but I think we need to look at other issues,” said Commissioner Dave Weaver, board chairman. The main issue brought up by residents in public comment was the need for more regulation on smaller properties — the accessory use category. Accessory use is the operation of offhighway vehicles for recreational purposes, where the activity does not require moving more than 50 cubic yards of dirt. This activity would be allowed on lots of at least 4.5 acres, with a residence established. This type of activity is personal use only. “Right now there is nothing to protect us,” Sedalia resident Chris Kennedy told the commissioners, speaking about residents who live next to tracks on small lots. While it was reported by county staff

at the March 25 planning commission meeting that the majority of the accessorylevel motorsport tracks operate without incident, Sedalia resident Jeff Berends expressed his concerns that this is not the case. “The reality is that in many cases, the incident goes unreported because residents don’t know where to report, or because of fear of retribution and retaliation,” Berends told commissioners. Other residents spoke about the noise motorcycles give off and how they disrupt their quality of life and the equine community. Kathy Coming, who lives next to a private motorsport facility in the Cherry Creek Highlands, spoke about having to move her horse to a training facility because the noise from the nearby motorcycles makes the horse unridable.

But for some residents, like Russ Ullerich, the stricter regulations on smaller tracks could prevent him from teaching his children to ride in a safe environment. “Teaching my children to ride on public tracks is very dangerous,” he said. “I want them to practice in a safe, controlled environment.” That’s why Ullerich bought a home with a track on the property when his family moved to Sedalia. At their home, his children ride four to six hours a week. He teaches them how to ride, but also how to be respectful of their neighbors, he said. “I don’t want to disrupt community,” Ullerich told commissioners, adding that he has open communication with his neighbors. “I get that more rules might need to go into place, but we moved here thinking

Cross-fit idea not just about fitness So I have several buddies of mine who have really gotten into cross-fit training over the past few years. They range in age from their early 20s to a couple of my close friends who are in their 50s. And research tells me there are people of all ages and generations who have adopted some form of cross-fit. including teenagers and people well beyond their 50s. If you are unfamiliar with cross-fit training you can look up the definition on Wikipedia just like I did and you will find that it is a physical fitness workout system that incorporates multiple forms of exercises and techniques. It can include high-intensive interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, kettlebell lifting, calisthenics, strongman and other exercises. Now one of my buddies, Mark Foley, who hails from Boston, is one of those guys who has really gotten into this form of training. He trains at a “box,” the cross-fit term for a gym, that his nephew owns near Boston. Mark is in phenomenal shape for a man at any age. But the best thing about Mark’s phenomenal shape is not his physical conditioning, it is his philosophy and approach toward cross-fit in all areas of life. A cross-fit WOD, or Workout of the Day, could take up to an hour of committed time. There are 23 more hours in each day that are

typically filled with activities and tasks that sometimes consume us and rob us of the opportunity to spend time working on all facets and areas of our lives. You see, just like cross-fit includes multiple forms of exercise and movements, our lives are made up of a Michael Norton multitude of roles and activities such as famWINNING ily life, careers, social, WORDS recreation, financial, spiritual, health, community, and things that educate and motivate us. My buddy Mark has tried to get me to join the cross-fit craze for the past few years, and I have resisted. That is, I have resisted the physical fitness form of cross-fit. I completely subscribe to being cross-fit for life and in all areas of life. And although it takes time, commitment, and dedication to make the time for all areas of life, it is well worth the investment in yourself, your family, your friends, and your future. The all-too-familiar phrase, “I would do it if I only had more time,” is just an excuse. Because we all have the same amount of

minutes and hours in each day, it’s about how we choose to use them. Easier said than done? Maybe, but if we start somewhere and find just a few minutes each day to focus on some part of our lives that have been neglected or compromised, I can assure you that the outcome and result will far outweighs effort and time that you will invest. And here’s the other thing: Maybe we can’t do something each and every day of our lives that supports each and every aspect of our lives, but on balance, if we looked back over the course of a week and could see where we spent pockets of time working on our mind, body, and spirit, and where we spent precious time focused on our family and friends, and how we used our time most productively at work, we will begin to see all of the benefits of being cross-fit for life. How about you? Are you working too much, traveling too much, consumed with too many distractions and not enough time for yourself and your family? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we start spending just a little bit more time on and in all aspects of life, it really will be a better than good week.

Column only tells half the story Ann Healey’s column on the Republican presidential campaign may indeed have a lesson for us in how not to run a campaign. But in all fairness, I would look forward to a companion column on the Democratic campaign and those candidates in order to provide a fair and balanced portrayal of the current campaign. For example, she should cover the illegal dealings and numerous lies conducted by Hillary Clinton. The article should cover her gross misuse and illegal use of classified emails, her misuse of foreign countries “donations” and her extremely vulgar language. I agree that this has been an extremely horrible presidential campaign, but this includes actions and speeches from both parties. Jim Young Parker Employers have upper hand in process A day hardly goes by without a news story of how great the jobs market is in Colorado. I agree it’s great — for the employers. For the average “good paying” job (definition: substantially more than minimum wage), many employers are receiving anywhere from 100-150 resumes. I know this because I have asked them. To me at least, those numbers indicate there are many people looking for good jobs, and the employers have a lot of choices. For those who have not had to seek new employment for many years, it can come as a shock how time consuming and cumbersome this process has become. Employers (mostly the large corporations) now require you to “register” with their employment database, which includes repeating information that is on a resume, then hopefully an over-the-phone interview, and then an in-person interview. This entire process can take up a total of three or four hours, or more, per application. This is a lot of time to end up just being rejected. Perhaps it’s time that corporate employers realize that job seekers’ time is valuable too — and streamline their process to respect candidates’ time as well as their own. Barb Adams Parker

Collection could end from collecting dust A raccoon named Teddy sat on a rare copy of “Stormy Weather” by the Five Sharps. Teddy cracked the record. Apparently it’s a lousy version of a great song, but the fact that it’s rare has made it highly valued. That makes no sense to me. There may be only four copies of the record in existence. But if it’s bad, all the better. But some collectors don’t think like I do. A copy of the record that Teddy did not sit on might go for $10,000 at auction. Help me with the logic, if you can. I watch a show called “Pawn Stars.” People bring in some pretty odd items that fetch a lot of money. Someone brought in the record that Teddy sat on. People bring in autographs. The autographs of famous people, like Abraham Lincoln and Babe Ruth, can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Be honest. Do you have any autographs in

Wealth of uncertainty as election year unfolds The first quarter of the 2016 election year is complete. But, I can’t say much was accomplished. The stock market remains flat, economic growth is on hold and we still don’t know who will be on the ballot come November. I always think it helps to understand the reasons behind why things are the way they are. Maybe if we can find some logic in the situation, it will help us deal with the uncertainty. And that is the key word … uncertainty. Investments are down because the markets don’t like ambiguity. We expect our jobs, pocketbooks and nest eggs to improve over time. But for that to happen, something bigger has to take place. The world economy also has to increase. We can see the pattern now. Our credit markets collapsed in 2008, Europe’s credit crisis hit in 2011 and China’s attempt to avoid a crisis curbed their growth in 2015. Now that our financial world includes the entire globe, these things matter more than they used to. The reasons are many but we can start with earnings in honor of first-quarter

Lincoln. My favorite Lincoln story was his response to someone who said he was two-faced. “If I were, would I have chosen this one?” I can promise you that there will not be any intentional humor in the next White House. There will be plenty of unintended humor. David Letterman may want to come out of retirement. Have you seen him lately? Full, scraggly beard. He looks like a bum, and he probably loves it. He was expected to be a sharp dresser every night for years.

“It’s an amazing experience, especially to see the youth have such passion for this line of work. Right here we are breeding the next generation of firefighters,” Tom Davros said. “Every other professional firefighter I talk to says the same thing: ‘Why wasn’t this around when I was coming up?’” Former firefighter George Piccone is the instructor of the fire science program and an employee of the school district.. “They spend a year with me before they get to this point,” Piccone said. “Before they get into this building, they’re ready for it. They’re ready to fight a fire.” Fire students earn dual credit and are enrolled as students at Red Rocks Community College during the program.

reporting season. A company reports earnings based on product sales and revenue. Ideally, these will not only outpace their overhead, but improve over time and increase the company’s value. That’s Patricia Kummer where you come in, as a stockFINANCIAL you want STRATEGIES holder, appreciation. When two-thirds of the world is in an economic dearth, it is hard to sell more to those who have less. As a result, earnings have gone south the last two quarters and are expected to be low again this quarter. It feels like we have been in limbo for nine years. The meaning of “long-term” just got even longer. We got spoiled a bit in 2012 and 2013 when Quantitative Eas-

ing fueled the potential for growth that has not yet occurred. Now the markets are adjusting prices for what stocks are really worth in this environment. This makes us unhappy and unhappy people want something to change. That’s where the election comes in. Voters cannot make up their minds what they want or who they want to solve our wealth of problems. Usually when change is needed, the pendulum swings wide to overcompensate. Hence we have significant differences between the extreme left and right, depending on the issues. This creates more uncertainty (and a lot of terrible ads in the media). Jerry Webman, chief economist for Oppenheimer Funds, states that it is the economy that dictates the election, not the other way around. He also said, “Hating the government is not an investment strategy.” Statistics show that you would have lost money trying to vote with your investment dollars in previous election years. The economic engine worldwide is what dictates growth and returns. The amount of debt global economies are

carrying will need to be reduced through future growth and higher demands over time. Meanwhile, watch for opportunities: Improvement in China and progress in Europe through support from their Central Bank. If their growth is anywhere close to what happened in the United States during our easy money policy years, they (and we as investors) could be in for nice advances in stock prices around the world. In turn this should help fuel our home-based companies for stronger earnings in future quarters.

He probably goes unrecognized in New York now. I don’t own many rarities. I do have a very early Crickets album. Before they became Buddy Holly and the Crickets. But I don’t have anything to play it on. So what good is it doing me? And it’s in the basement. That’s where my archives are. The Some Day Archives, I call them. Someday I am going to look at them. Will someday ever come? Our homes are full of souvenirs and mementos and scrapbooks. Computers have made it possible to save a lot of things very conveniently. But I have files on my screen that I rarely open. Now and then I will get sentimental, and open a file, like Jennifer’s, and reminisce. (We are no longer together.)

I open my father’s file at least once a month. And Badger’s. She was the dachshund ahead of Smitty, and the first individual who ever depended upon me. When I see that a natural disaster or a fire has destroyed a home, I always wonder about the possessions that were lost. The keepsakes. My basement flooded in 2003 when I was out of town. Half of my archives were lost. For a while, I was heartbroken.

Now I cannot remember exactly what I lost. I started over, but I no longer keep as much. Because I know that someday may never come. “Can’t go on, everything I had is gone. Stormy weather.” It’s not true.

vote on a replacement to serve out the remaining two years of Millet’s District 1 seat in May or June. Lone Tree is currently accepting applications from interested candidates for the position. The prospective councilmember must be 25 years old by May 17, a registered voter in the City of Lone Tree, and must have lived in District 1 for at least a year. Lone Tree is divided into two districts with two councilmembers representing each district. Members serve staggered four-year terms. Councilmembers are selected from individual districts and the mayor is elected at large. All are limited to two terms each. Though the city had not finalized a contract with vendors for the election, Pettinger estimated that the canceled election saved city taxpayers around $20,000.

Piccone said the students who graduate from the program have an advantage when it comes to getting jobs in the field. “In one of the most competitive fields there is right now, fire, they really get a major leg up on everyone when they graduate,” Piccone said. “These days if you don’t have an advanced education, you’re not going to get hired.” Piccone said nearly 100 percent of the programs graduates are able to find a full-time job in the field. Evan Davros said he will be attending the University of Colorado in Boulder next year. He plans to major in biology. He would like to go into the military and then become a firefighter when he is done serving. “(Working with my dad) would be awesome. That’s my dream,” he said. Tom Davros said he was proud of his son. “It’s an incredibly gratifying experience to watch him grow,” he said. “Working together would be great. I’d have to be pretty old, though.”

Doctor, pharmacy owners accused of drug scheme Charges against physician include death allegations Staff report Four people, including a doctor who previously lived in Parker, have been arrested in connection with the deaths of at least two people as a result of unlawful distribution of prescription drugs. A federal grand jury indicted Dr. John Alan Littleford, Dianna L. Smithling, Stanley G. Callas and Scott Alan Eskanos, and they were arrested April 12, according to a news release by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Court records allege the four conspired to distribute controlled substances for purposes other than legitimate medical reasons. Littleford and his co-defendants face several charges, and the charges against Littleford include money laundering and distributing or dispensing a controlled substance from which death

results. Littleford, 70, now lives in Manhattan, Kansas, and was arrested there. He owned and operated the Pain and Injury Clinic in Parker. While there, Littleford allegedly prescribed drugs such as oxycodone, morphine, methadone and amphetamines in quantities and dosages that would allow patients to abuse and become addicted to the drugs. His prescription of the painkiller oxycodone to two of his patients resulted in their deaths, the indictment states.

Smithling, 39, was arrested in Michigan, where she currently resides. She was Littleford’s office manager at the Pain and Injury Clinic in 2011-12. Callas, 63, and Eskanos, 61, are co-owners of Crown Point Pharmacy in Parker and Sky Ridge Pharmacy in Lone Tree, and were arrested in Douglas County. All four defendants were scheduled to appear April 12 in U.S. District Court to be advised of the charges against them. The indictment is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement

Administration and the Internal Revenue Service. It alleges that Littleford routinely wrote new prescriptions for patients when they should have had opioids remaining from previous prescriptions. The “early refill” prescriptions were then filled at Crown Point Pharmacy and Sky Ridge Pharmacy, allegedly with the knowledge of Callas and Eskanos. The indictment also states the defendants engaged in money laundering to promote and continue the illegal drug distribution. “The prescription drug problem in Colorado and the U.S., specifically opioid drug abuse, is at epidemic proportions,” said Barbra Roach, a special agent with the DEA. “Those in special positions of trust and responsibility in our community, such as our medical professionals, must be held accountable when they cross the line into criminal behavior for their own profit.” A telephone message at Crown Point Pharmacy said the store was closed for a family emergency April 12.

“Some people love the megachurches, other people like the smaller churches. We get to know each other quickly.” — The Rev. Marilyn Lewis, Ruth Memorial Chapel

Church offers wide path to God Center for Spiritual Living breathes new life into historic building

MORE ON THE RUTH MEMORIAL CHAPEL Location: 19650 E. Mainstreet, Parker

By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com

History: Construction on the church began in February 1912 and the building held its first gathering on June 14, 1912. A formal dedication followed on May 25, 1913. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized by the Town of Parker as a landmark. It is the first church built in Parker.

he sun streamed through the windows of Ruth Memorial Chapel in Parker on a warm spring morning, casting beams of light across the sanctuary as people hugged, talked and greeted each other. As two men picked up the instruments and played a soft call to worship, the congregants took their seats in the pews, bobbing and swaying to the tune. As a woman began singing and the congregation joined in, the old, historic space came alive, like a photograph changing from black and white to color. After the song and applause ended, the Rev. Marilyn Lewis of the Center for Spiritual Living greeted members and newcomers alike. “We honor you no matter what spiritual path you are on,” she said, inviting first-time visitors to raise their hands so they could receive flowers, a welcome packet and another round of applause. To some it may seem odd to hear Buddhist singing bowls or readings from the “Tao of Pooh” in a church designed by Protestants more than a century ago. To Lewis and her congregation, the chapel is home. “We like to say that we believe in new thought with ancient wisdom,” Lewis said. “It’s wonderful to be in a historic church. It’s all God.” The Center for Spiritual Living, or CSL, is a nondenominational church that combines the tenets of many faiths. The church follows the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and other spiritual leaders as well as philosophers such as Plato and Deepak Chopra. Lewis said CSL believes in a common thread running through all

The name: The church is named after Dr. Walter Heath’s daughter, Ruth, who died young. Dr. Heath donated land for the construction of the church and died suddenly just after construction began.

The Ruth Memorial Chapel sits at 19650 East Mainstreet in Parker. The chapel hosts the Center for Spiritual Living’s Sunday services each week. major religions. “We honor all faiths, all paths to God,” Lewis said. “Instead of seeing God as an old man in the sky who decides what some people should have and what others shouldn’t have, we believe that God created a world of good, beauty and love … He wants us to enjoy the beauty in the world.” A special space Suzanne Velasquez is charged with preserving the beauty of the chapel for the Parker Area Historical Society, which is responsible for the building’s upkeep. On a tour of the building a few days before a recent Sunday service, she pulled a rope hanging from the ceiling to ring the church’s bell. The sound that has announced church services and weddings since 1912 still rings clearly

over a century later. Velasquez smiled and described the ambience of the iconic building in the heart of the town. “There’s definitely something special about anyone who chooses this space,” Velasquez said. “Just the number of people who’ve come through here and worshipped here over the last 100 plus years... This is a special little gem. A lot of the people who I see come through here… appreciate the feeling such an old building gives.” Evonne Levy, who has has been with CSL for 10 years, appreciates that feeling. As a practicioner, she leads meditation and prayers during CSL services. “It’s a sacred space,” Levy said. “There’s something very spiritual about (the chapel), a feeling of home. I hear people all the time saying that they love it.” The small building and its congrega-

tion of approximately 73 worshippers draw a sharp contrast to the so-called “megachurches” throughout the south metro area. Lewis said large churches, particularly the ones in Parker, do many wonderful things. Her “spiritual family” simply seeks a more intimate experience “Some people love the megachurches, other people like the smaller churches” like CSL, Lewis said. “We get to know each other quickly.” All seekers welcome One might expect a church with such a modern approach to attract only young, “New Age” types, decked out in Church continues on Page 15

MORE ON THE CENTER FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING Founder: Ernest Holmes. Holmes, born in 1887, grew up in Maine and was a lover of the outdoors. In 1926 he wrote “The Science of the Mind,” which contains foundational principles of the CSL. Holmes formed the Religious Science church, the precursor to the CSL. Beliefs: The CSL promotes a belief in “new thought combined with ancient wisdom.” Simply put, church members believe that science and faith work together to create the world around us and scientific principles prove spiritual beliefs. Members believe in prayer, positive thinking and many of the beliefs taught in Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and other major religions. Locations: The church has 400 locations around the world in more than 30 countries in Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. Home office: 573 Park Point Drive, Golden Parker office: 19731 Pikes Peak Ave., Suite G-2 Services: Every Sunday at 10 a.m. at Ruth Memorial Chapel

Birkenstocks and tie-dye. In fact, the worshippers at CSL reflect a variety of ages, backgrounds and prior religious affiliations. Other than the possible exception of a member in a Colorado Rockies jersey, they look the same as any other church’s congregation. Levy said many of the group’s mem-

bers practiced Judaism and Christianity before joining a church that celebrates aspects of all of those faiths. She appreciates that CSL respects all religions and faiths, and that the church takes a modern approach to seeking God. “We’re not wearing sandals anymore,” Levy said. “We do things to make (God) real for us today.” Bob Collins, a board member at CSL, was one of the members who helped select Ruth Memorial Chapel as the CSL’s place of worship. He said in an email that the building’s traditional ap-

pearance helps new members make the transition to a new way of worship. “Our faith welcomes all spiritual seekers,” Collins said. “The backdrop of a traditional chapel comforts many who arrive … There is a comfort that we are seeking a stronger, personal relationship with God in the same place of many who came before us.” Velasquez said maintenance issues at the chapel don’t arise often. The most common problem is air conditioning breaking down during summer weddings. New stairs are needed to con-

tinue to welcome wedding parties and worshippers. The chapel’s foundation is sturdy, but it will need some restoration to remain so. The CSL’s foundation is strong too, Lewis said, and as the congregation grows it will eventually need a larger space to accommodate them. “At some point we’re going to outgrow it,” she said. But for now, Lewis and her fellow worshippers like Collins are grateful to be where they are each Sunday. “We always say ‘welcome home,’” he said. “We’ve been waiting for you.”

Board Continued from Page 1

Before the rally, Silverthorn and Reynolds, noting concern about student safety and wanting to hear students’ views, met with Davis at the school. Davis’ parents said they did not know about, nor give consent to, the meeting. Davis said she received a call from Silverthorn March 3 and was asked to meet somewhere off campus. Davis declined. Silverthorn and Reynolds then showed up March 4 at the school unannounced, Davis said. “The board members were very harsh with their tones, especially Judith,” she told the school board during the April 19 public comment session. “They made me feel little and basically told me that since I am a student, I am not properly educated to

express my First Amendment rights as an American.” “They said that holding my protest would result in another malice act happening toward a police officer on or near the property and that it would be my fault, that my family would be responsible for paying the police for showing up and any injury or accidents that could occur,” Davis said. After the meeting, Davis said, she and her family sent an email to the district and board voicing their concerns and asking for the pair’s resignation because of Davis’ treatment. The family asked for a response before the April 19 school-board meeting but said it did not receive one. Davis, accompanied on April 19 by her father, had recorded the 1½-hour meeting and said she sent that recording to all seven board members. “When I think about it now,” said Davis, who at one point teared up, “it makes me uncomfortable and angry that I was treated

in such a fashion by our school district’s leaders.” Community members in attendance at the meeting cheered Davis, who reiterated her call for the two board members’ resignations. Silverthorn and Reynolds, who appeared taken aback by the requests for their resignations, disagreed with Davis’ interpretation of the meeting. “I thought we had a robust discussion,” Silverthorn said. “I was not there to intimidate,” Reynolds said. “I was there to understand.” Upset by what they heard on the recording, Lemieux, along with board members David Ray and Wendy Vogel, also asked for Silverthorn’s and Reynolds’ resignations. “I listened to the whole recording and I was appalled,” Vogel said. Under board regulations, Silverthorn and Reynolds were under no obligation to resign and did not. After more than 1½ hours of debate

over proper parliamentary procedure in relation to the matter, board member Doug Benevento called for an independent third party investigation of the matter. “I believe we should have an investigation to see if any laws or policies were broken,” said Benevento, who said he had not listened to the entire recording. Ray disagreed. “You’re looking at a child who was bullied by board members,” he said. “What more facts do you need?” Silverthorn said she was “happy to subject us to that investigation.” Although the board did not formally vote on the independent investigation, members agreed to have board attorney Rob Ross organize and conduct it as soon as possible. Ross said it could be done relatively quickly. Board member Jim Geddes was not present at the meeting. The next school board meeting is scheduled for May 10.

Goalie gets a kick out of success

Junior starting pitcher Quincy Ulrich gave up two runs in the first inning but settled down, pitched five innings and was the winning pitcher in ThunderRidge’s 11-4 Continental League win over Castle View on April 15 in Castle Rock. Photo by Jim Benton

ThunderRidge storms back Grizzlies overcome early deficit and rally for 11-4 win By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com April 15 was a busy day for ThunderRidge’s senior baseball players but it ended with an 11-4 Continental League victory over Castle View in a game played in Castle Rock just before the spring snowstorm arrived. “Our seniors had senior project day so they were running trying to get here for the game,” said ThunderRidge coach Joe White. “Our sophomores and juniors picked them up to start the game and our seniors came on at the end of the game and finished it off.” ThunderRidge improved to 9-1 overall and 3-0 in the league after the win. The Sabercats fell to 3-8 and 1-2

in the Continental League. “In this league, anybody can beat anybody,” White said. “Any time you get a win in this league, it’s a good day.” Key moments Castle View led 2-0 after the first inning but ThunderRidge scored in five consecutive innings to build an 11-4 lead heading into the seventh inning. The Grizzlies plated three runs on two hits in the fourth and scored three times in the sixth on four hits. Key players/statistics Juniors Jason Hall and Will Smith, hitting seventh and eighth in the ThunderRidge lineup, combined for six of the Grizzlies’ 13 hits. Hall went 3-for-4, scored twice and had two runs batted in. Smith was also 3-for-4 with two RBIs and one

run scored. Sophomore Jake Haze was 2-for-2, scored twice and had a pair of RBIs, while senior Jake Eissler also had two hits and two RBIs. Junior Quincy Ulrich was the winning pitcher with relief help from Eissler and Cole Butler. They said it “He struggled a little bit in the first inning and was kind of getting underneath the ball and kind of leaving it up a little bit, “ White said of Ulrich, who allowed eight hits and four runs. “We made a couple adjustments. He’s a competitor. He’s a football kid and loves to compete. He’s going to be good.” Going forward Depending on rescheduled games, ThunderRidge plays Legend April 22. Castle View plays Rock Canyon April 25.

Caela McCartney, a sophomore at Ralston Valley, plays the mellophone in the marching band and is a black belt in taekwondo. And she’s one of the Jefferson County League’s leading lacrosse goalies — after only playing in goal for nine games. As a youngster, I tried taekwondo, but for only two weeks. McCartney has been a fixture at the Colorado Taekwondo Institute and it has helped her become a standout goalie. McCartney went out for the team as a freshman. She played in the field until volunteering to play goalie for the final two games of the 2015 junior varsity season. That was a position she liked and with hard Jim Benton work, she has excelled in OVERTIME seven varsity games this season. She leads the league with a 5.7 goals against average and is tied for first with a .500 saves percentage. “Taekwondo has helped,” she said. “In taekwondo, we work on reaction. Like in sparring… you are supposed to react back, and that kind of helps with finding the ball and reacting to it. Goalies have like a crouch position and we use that a lot in taekwondo. That helps with the positioning.” McCartney said her success as a goalie is a little surprising but also credits other players for helping the Mustangs get off to a 6-1 start. “All field players have importance and goalies are more of a backup,” she said. “In my case the defense is really good. If my defense doesn’t block the ball or stop the girl from shooting, then I’m the backup. It’s kind of like being a quarterback in football. I’m there to help direct the defense.” State’s best swimming times Prepswimco.com released its team and individual rankings for high school boys swimmers on April 12. Cherry Creek was the second-ranked team in Class 5A behind Fossil Ridge. Arapahoe was fifth, Heritage sixth, Highlands Ranch eighth and Ponderosa ninth. Valor Christian was third in the 4A rankings, with Golden fourth and Wheat Ridge seventh. Several swimmers from the area have turned in the state’s best times. Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber has the best Class 5A times of 21.12 seconds in the 50yard freestyle and 46.02 in the 100 freestyle. Michael Hinton, a Heritage senior who will be swimming at Boston College next season, has recorded the top times in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events with 1:42.22 and 4:43.03 performances. Gabriele Sasia, a senior who swims for Highlands Ranch, has the best 5A 100—yard backstroke time of 50.70 while the 1:54.52 by Heritage senior Patrick Kelly in the 200-yard individual medley is the state’s best time so far. Golden junior Daric Sundeen swam a 54.62 in the 100 backstroke which is the leading time in Class 4A and Valor Christian freshman Casey Fellow racked up 498.45 points in diving to top the 4A charts. Schultz unbeaten in national tournament Ponderosa freshman Cohlton Schultz, Colorado’s 220-pound state champion in 5A, went 7-0 at the National Wrestling Coaches Association National Scholastic Dual, which concluded April 16 in Crawfordsville, Indiana. He was selected as the co-outstanding wrestler of the meet. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver metro area since 1968.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 18, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whether a waiting period is taking longer than expected, or just seems that way, the anxious Lamb would do well to create a center of calm within her- or himself, and not do anything rash. TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Practical matters dominate the week, but cultural activities also are favored, especially those that can be shared with someone special in the Bovine’s life. Some important news might be forthcoming. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You need to know more about a possible career move in order to see if it offers a real opportunity or just a change. You’re sure to get lots of advice -- some of it good -- but the decision must be yours. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The arrival of hoped-for good news about a loved one dominates most of the week and provides a great excuse for the party-loving Moon Child to plan a special event to celebrate. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Leos and Leonas rushing to finalize their plans might want to think about slowing down the pace, or risk overlooking an important consideration that could become a sore point down the line. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week’s challenges call for logical approaches. But sentiment also has its place. Sharing memories with a special someone, for example, strengthens the bond between you.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A brandnew approach to a problem could have a good chance of succeeding if it’s based on a solid foundation of fact to strengthen its potential for standing up to scrutiny. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A favorable report should give your optimism an important boost as you confront another phase of a challenge. Don’t be timid about accepting advice from someone you trust. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might want to target another goal if your current aim is continually being deflected. But stay with it until you find that first sign of an opening, and then follow through.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although offers of advice might not always please the usually sure-footed Goat, good counsel is always worth considering, especially from those whose experience can be invaluable. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t rush to make up for lost time. Your productivity can be measured not only by what you do, but how you do it. Move carefully until the job is done the way you like it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Emerging facts about someone you know might cause you to rethink your relationship. But remember to make judgments in context of a full situation, not just on scraps of data. BORN THIS WEEK: You are known both for your love of acquiring beautiful things as well as for your generosity to others. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Heritage leads way in Continental League Eagles, Rock Canyon, Regis Jesuit dominate league tournaments By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three teams are dominating the Continental League girls golf leaderboard after the three tournaments that have been held so far this season. Heritage has won two of those league tourneys. Defending Class 5A state champion Regis Jesuit won the other event, and Rock Canyon, last season’s runner-up in the rain-shortened, one-day state tournament, has been a contender, finishing third.

All three teams should be contenders at regional tournaments that will be held May 9-13 and at the Class 5A state tourney at Aurora’s Common Ground Golf Course on May 23 and 24. Heritage, led by sophoEsquibel more Gabby Esquibel, who fashioned a 4-over-par 76, captured the team title April 14 at the Highlands Ranch Golf course during the Heather Cho Memorial Tournament. The Eagles, with rounds of 77 from Joanna Kempton and Delaney Benson, finished with an aggregate of 311 followed by Regis at 318 and Rock Canyon at 340. “My round went really well,” Esquibel said. “I felt I was striking it well and my

short game was definitely on. So far, this was my best round of the season. “If we are all on our games, we can definitely play with any team out there. All of us can shoot in the 70s. Going against Regis is a big task to take on. I’m so proud of my team.” Regis seems to have the depth needed to be strong in the regional and state tournaments. Heritage and Rock Canyon need to get contributions from fourth and fifth golfers to be in the hunt for state honors. Besides Esquibel, Kempton and Benson, Heritage will be looking for Kendra George and Hattie Poole shoot scores to help in the team standings. Rock Canyon’s Alexis Chan and Amelia Lee have been consistent leaderboard contenders and the Jaguars have a good third player in Brandy McClain with Naura

Tagiya, Brooklyn Murphy and Rachel Mellett also working hard to be factors in the team scoring. “Right now in most of our tournaments we’ve been missing one of our top players,” said Rock Canyon coach Dave Vahling. “In the Cho tournament we were missing our number three player (McClain). When we had them all with us, we won the Valor Invitational. “With Heritage and Regis being real solid teams, it will be real close with us three in the league. All three schools have three top-notch players and the fourth you never know what you are going to get each week. Last year we kind of jelled the last two weeks of the season. Hopefully we will jell this season. There’s a lot of competition. Grandview also has a real solid team.’’
