Breaking down Parker’s 2015 budget By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com With so many revenue sources and annual expenses, making sense of the figures presented in a municipal budget can be daunting. With explanation from the Town of Parker’s finance director, Don Warn, the following provides a small snapshot of the 2015 budget, which was approved by town council Dec. 1. The 312-page document is available for viewing online at www.parkeronline.org.
Revenue
• Projected sales-tax revenue for 2015: $33.1 million Sales tax, the town’s largest revenue source, increased 6.8 percent in 2013 compared to 2012, which in turn was 10.2 percent greater
than 2011. When the budget was put together last September, the sales-tax forecast anticipated an increase of 4 percent for 2014 and 4 percent growth in 2015, accounting for the $33.1 million budgeted. Actual sales tax for 2014 is coming in at 7 percent or $32.9 million. The revenue is generated by Parker’s 3 percent sales-tax rate and accounts for more than one-third of the $96.8 million in estimated revenue for 2015. • Lottery funds: $431,000 Lottery proceeds are collected from retail merchants selling lottery products by the State of Colorado. Municipal lottery proceeds are distributed to municipalities based on current population estimates prepared by the State Division of Local Governments. As participation in the lottery fluctuates, the revenues that filter down to the municipalities vary as Budget continues on Page 9

First neighborhood coffee shop to open Second Fika Coffee House to open in Idyllwilde By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com The first neighborhood coffee shop in Parker will be based in a former home sales office in Idyllwilde. Josh and Anna Rivero, the owners of Fika Coffee House in downtown Parker, have had their eyes on the charming, cabinlike structure since moving to the eastern Parker subdivision eight years ago. Village Homes, which developed Idyllwilde over the last decade, always planned to turn the sales office into a business that would be useful to nearby homeowners. A general store was considered, but in today’s on-the-go society, a coffee shop seemed like a logical choice. “This is the first time a commercial aspect has been outside of the commercial core. Village Homes thought ahead and they looked at the Denver model with urban cores in the center of neighborhoods,” said Josh Rivero, who cited the South Gaylord and Pearl Street districts as successful examples. The Riveros repeatedly inquired about the availability of the 1,350-square-foot building, and once the neighborhood was built out, Village Homes decided to sell. The new owners closed Fika continues on Page 9

Shannon Korth knows firsthand the “helpless” feeling that comes from having a child with a life-threatening illness. There were no warning signs before her son Noah, then 2, had a seizure while playing with his toys in 2007. “I wasn’t sure what had happened. I thought he had fallen and hit his head,” the Parker mom said. “I picked him up and he was lifeless.” Doctors initially chalked up the seizure as a normal childhood occurrence, but when Noah had another seizure three days later, tests were ordered. During the 20-minute period that Noah was under observation at the hospital, he had eight Noah Korth seizures. They would end up being the first of hundreds, perhaps thousands, over the next few years. Most happened without any noticeable symptoms. Noah was diagnosed with epilepsy and put on medication. One year later, doctors discovered a heart defect completely unrelated to the epilepsy. Several small holes were found on an echocardiogram and Noah underwent heart surgery. The trauma to his body, however, triggered a series of violent seizures. Within one month, Noah had brain surgery at The Children’s Hospital and was put into a weeks-long coma to calm his brainwaves. It was the only option to help him. The surgeons removed the top of Noah’s skull and placed about 150 electrodes on the left side of his brain to pinpoint the epicenter of the seizures. They removed a portion of his brain the size of a baseball. “They told us that he may not be able to walk, or he would walk with a limp, or not be able to throw a ball again,” Korth said. Noah’s resilience in the face of adversity has shined through on numerous occasions, and he has gone through occupational, speech and physical therapy, relearning how to walk, talk and eat. Now almost 10 years old, he has not had a seizure in more than five years, much to the delight of his family. Noah continues on Page 9

What’s in a name? The Motsenbocker family revealed By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com
Motsenbocker Road was named for a farming and ranching family that moved to the Parker area in the 1920s. The road cuts through what was once the Motsenbocker property. Photo by Chris Michlewicz
The name can be a stumbling block for those either giving or following driving directions. Motsenbocker Road, which runs from the Clarke Farms neighborhood on the north to Stroh Road on the south, is named for the Motsenbocker family. The Motsenbockers farmed and ranched along what is now Parker’s southern border and the road runs through what was once their property. Patriarch John Motsenbocker was born in Idalia, Colo., in 1917, and moved with his parents to the Parker area in search of good farming and ranching land in the 1920s. The family lived along the western banks of Cherry Creek, roughly where Stroh Road bridges the tributary today. When the Castlewood Dam broke in August 1933, 16-year-old John helped his mother move the family to a hill west of their home. The water was about 4 feet high before they managed to get the family to high ground. The family lost its cattle because there was not enough forewarning to move them. The Motsenbockers remained on the hill until morning as a 30-foot wall of water swept down Cherry Creek.
John Motsenbocker served in WWII and was trained in vehicle repair. He served in Africa and Italy until the end of the war. His training enabled him to work at Don’s Garage on Mainstreet in Parker upon his return. After the war, Motsenbocker enjoyed going to dances at the Pikes Peak Grange, Hilltop and Elizabeth. At the dances, he renewed his friendship with Ellen Larsen, whom he knew from his high school days in Parker. They were married three months after his return from World War II. John and Ellen Motsenbocker had three sons—Harvey, Lynn and Bryan. John Motsenbocker was stacking hay on land he had purchased from his uncle when he had a heart attack and died in 1967. Ellen Motsenbocker lived in the Hilltop area until her death in 2009. Source: The Parker Area Historical Society

Inspiration Colorado, an 1,800-home master-planned community under development in northeast Douglas County, will open in mid-2015 with Toll Brothers and Standard Pacific Homes as its first ins, two home builders. uhFormerly known as Rockinghorse, the ed to new neighborhood was recently renamed ona Inspiration Colorado partly because of its proximity to Inspiration Drive, a twoof lane road that borders the development ter’s on the south and connects Parker with eastern Douglas County. nWheelock Communities and local development partner Oread Capital acker, quired the partially developed 1,036-acre an’s property in January 2014. Jeff Handlin, president of Oread Capigis tal and Development, said Inspiration Colorado is designed as a “true intergenerational community,” with a choice of homes and amenities specifically designed to meet the needs and interests of
buyers at all life stages. Roughly half of the development is designated as an enclave for residents 55 and older. Known as Hilltop at Inspiration, the age-restricted portion of the community will include customizable ranch homes from the mid-$300,000s to the $800,000s, a private clubhouse, cafe, fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools, sports areas and event lawns. Toll Brothers was selected as the exclusive builder of Hilltop at Inspiration and sales will begin in fall 2015. Standard Pacific Homes will offer eight ranch-style plans designed exclusively for Inspiration’s Vistas neighborhood, with prices expected to start in the mid $300,000s. Homes will range from 1,750 to 2,700 square feet and will offer options such as finished basements and four-car garages. Additional builders for future neighborhoods will be announced later this year.

As the real estate market continues to rebound from the recession, it will likely mean increased property values in Douglas County and around Colorado. According to recent data by the Douglas Elbert Realtor Association, the median price of a single-family home in Douglas County in 2014 was $375,000 and the median sale price of a townhouse or condo was $224,000. In Douglas County, there are more people looking for homes than there are homes to buy. “Right now, if no other houses came on the market, we’d have no houses left under $300,000 in less than a month and in less than two months we’d have no homes period,” said Steve Thayer, of Keller Williams Realty. According to Thayer, a home taking on average five to seven months to sell would be an indicator of a balanced market. This upswing in the market will likely impact county property values, which are due to be assessed this year. Colorado state law requires that each county reappraise property values every two years, and 2015 is a reappraisal year. Douglas County is currently in the process of doing appraisals. Each property owner in Douglas County will receive a postcard in the mail showing the appraised value of their homes. These notices will be mailed out by the county May.1. The state requires that appraisals by the county examine data from a specif-
ic two-year period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2014. “Mass appraisal methodology is really statistics. We create models that predict the contributory value of different characteristics of the property like square footage, basement square footage, if there’s a fireplace, things like that,” Douglas County Assessor Lisa Frizell said. “Essentially we’re emulating the buyer’s decision-making process. What’s important to them? What are they willing to pay for?” For example, in Colorado, swimming pools really don’t contribute much value. Also, properties in the county are only compared to other properties in similar locations. “We do not use sales from Highlands Ranch to value property in Castle Rock,” Frizell said. “They’re just different markets.” According to Frizell, the biggest drivers of value are square footage, location and the construction quality of the house. County data shows the population of Douglas County is about 308,000 and is projected to reach 418,000 by 2030, according to the county’s 2035 Comprehensive Master Plan. “We have people moving here to Douglas County. They’re not leaving. They’re migrating in,” Frizell said. “So, that is also adding to the low inventory and driving up the demand.” The change in property values will also likely have an impact on taxes. Douglas County plans to look at its mill levy rates in December, but how exactly a homeowner will be affected will depend greatly on individual factors and in which municipality or other area the homeowner lives. Changes to assessed property values will go into effect in 2016. For more information, visit douglas. co.us/assessor.

House Dems vote down proposed gun laws Parties divided over legislation By Amy Woodward
awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com There was a fervor for gun legislation at the State Capitol last week with seven proposed measures going through House and Senate committees. Republicans and Democrats dished out party-line votes that left both groups at an impasse on many of those bills. Five gun bills that concern permits, background checks and private firearm transfers were some of the measures heard in the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs committee. The measures predictably failed while the Senate Judiciary committee passed two gun measures with a Republican majority vote, 3-2. A House bill proposed by Rep. Janak Joshi, R-Colorado Springs, which repeals the state’s requirement for criminal background checks prior to a private gun transfer, garnered a duplicate measure in the Senate. With the House version failing, the Senate bill is expected to die as well, once it reaches the Democratic controlled House. Attempts by Republicans to reverse contentious gun laws was anticipated for this year’s legislative session, but some lawmakers were left scratching their heads at bills that have received past bipartisan support. One of the Senate bills heard in committee last week aimed to lift restrictions on the carrying of a concealed handgun by getting rid of the permit requirement which was passed into law in 2003. The bill would not change existing prohibitions from carrying concealed guns in certain public places such as school grounds. Sen. Michael Merrifield, D-Colorado Springs, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee inquired about the changes to the 2003 law he helped to establish. “It was a bipartisan bill,” Merrifield said. “I’m curious as to what’s wrong with what we did 14 years ago … what’s broken?” Proponents for the bill argued that the
Supporters and opponents alike turned out in large numbers to testify on the numerous gun laws proposed by Republicans. In the Senate Judiciary Committee, staff used remote testimony for the first time, allowing voters such as Janet Johnson of Grand Junction (pictured) to speak on proposed measures. Photo by Amy Woodward state’s mandatory criminal background check for gun purchases should be all that is needed to carry a concealed handgun. “This bill really doesn’t change anything except decriminalize the right to carry a concealed without a permit,” said Dudley Brown, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and president of the National Association for Gun Rights. The measure passed the Senate 3-2 and moved to appropriations. But if last week’s division is any indicator, the bill will not travel very far before it is voted down in the House.

School foundation chief touts innovation Christensen first permanent DCEF director since 2012 By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County Educational Foundation executive director Jason Christensen’s career path has been highlighted by stories of dramatic change. Most recently, he worked for Step 13, a transitional housing facility for homeless men recovering from addiction. Before that, he spent more than a decade working for Catholic Charities in Colorado Springs and Rockford, Ill. “For most of my career, I have worked with vulnerable populations; it’s nice to see
transformation in people’s lives,” said the Highlands Ranch father of two. As the head of the Douglas County School District’s nonprofit fundraising arm, Christensen now will see transformation among a very different population. “There are some needs here — no question about it — but it’s certainly a whole different scope,” he said. Christensen joined the DCEF in September 2014. Cinamon Watson had served as the foundation’s interim director since late 2012. Watson, who also was the district’s community relations officer, left DCSD in September 2014. Christensen had some insight into the district before accepting the position — his 10- and 12-year-old daughters are DCSD students.
“Their educational experience has been outstanding here,” he said. “I know that Douglas County schools are certainly on an upward trajectory; there are a lot of good things happening here.” The 25-year-old nonprofit foundation helps develop private resources aimed at enriching education within Douglas County schools and the community. DCEF grants support schools, teachers and classroom programs; and help fund Career Connect, field trips, scholarships, outdoor education and school-supplies drives and distribution. DCEF also helps manage individual school parent organizations and booster clubs. Christensen is impressed with what he’s seen during his first few months on the job. “There’s a high level of parental involvement I found with the schools here; that’s what makes it successful,” he said. The foundation’s biggest annual event is right around the corner. The Apple Awards program recognizes DCSD staff and teachers nominated by their school communities in a Hollywood-style awards ceremony on Feb. 21.
“We glorify people because of their roles in movies or outlandish reality shows,” Christensen said. “When you look at real reality — what teachers are doing every day — those are the folks we should be lifting up as good models.” In December, the DCEF also began working on a strategic plan, identifying its values and crafting new mission and vision statements. “The one thread though this is innovation,” Christensen said. “We provide matching dollars to schools, or the district for district-wide events, to fill the gap from that end. While we certainly want to continue that, we want to shift the focus to innovation, preparing students for 21st-century careers.” DCEF board chairwoman Amy Sherman is excited about Christensen and other changes under way within the foundation. “We are happy to have a permanent leader on staff, and he is taking DCEF to new levels of organization, excitement and participation,” she said. “From new school chapters to new business relationships, Jason is a great connector and we are fortunate to have him.”

Under his direction and a newly created strategic plan, the DCEF has no intention of following a similar path. “We don’t have any plans for speakers; we’re classroom-focused,” Christensen said. The DCEF paid $50,000 to former U.S. Secretary of Education Bill Bennett for a September 2013 speech and white paper in which he praised the reform efforts. The speech was given just weeks before the contentious election during which a slate of four reformfriendly candidates were elected to the board. Additionally, a judge ruled in December 2014 that the Douglas County School District violated the state’s Fair Campaign Practices Act by using district funds to pay for a September 2013 report complimenting its reforms. Half of the money used to pay for Rick Hess’ white paper — “The Most Interesting School District in America?” — came from DCSD, the other half from the DCEF. The school district is appealing the ruling. Oral arguments are scheduled for March 10. The 2013 pre-election activities also prompted three Douglas County residents to file complaints with the Internal Revenue Service alleging improper behavior by the DCEF. Because the IRS cannot disclose the results of an investigation, or even whether it’s initiated an investigation, Susan Arnold, Meg Masten and Bob Kaser never learned the outcome of their complaints. Former DCSD community relations officer Cinamon Watson, formerly a Republican political campaign consultant, was then acting as the foundation’s interim director. She left the district in September 2014 “to pursue new
opportunities,” according to DCSD. Christensen wants to ensure the foundation’s good work stays center stage. “I believe what gets lost in this so-called controversy is the fact that the Douglas County Educational Foundation has provided tens of thousands of dollars on classroom technology and experiential learning,” he said. The foundation board decided during a recent strategic planning session to focus on classroom innovation, private/public sector partnerships, and the impact on the future workforce. “As we’ve transitioned into an information age and economy, the nature of education is evolving,” Christensen said. “In order to remain competitive in a global economy we have to not just keep up, we must be progressively ahead. “Our funding priorities in the coming years will have an emphasis on STEM-related items (science, technology, engineering, and math). Douglas County is home to major technology/manufacturing firms, and DCEF wants to be a community partner in developing an educated and prepared workforce.” Arnold believes the impact of those alleged improprieties lingers. “There is clear evidence that the district had a political operative leading the DCEF and used the foundation as a political slush fund,” she said. “It is going to take more than new leadership at DCEF to restore public trust. “At a time when the district is being more vocal about their capital needs, it’s truly a shame that the foundation’s credibility is so tarnished, because it could play a vital role in offsetting some of those needs.” DCEF legal counsel Jon Anderson said his firm reviewed the foundation’s activities regarding Bennett’s report, and concluded it didn’t meet the IRS definition for political activity. Kaser — a former DCEF chairman — said his concerns have largely been addressed. Those included production of an annual report and conflict-of-interest policy. Masten declined to comment.

Lynette Roff is stepping down, a spokesal re-man for the VA said Feb. 3. No other details were immediately released. Former VA employee Tommy Belinski obtained a paper waiting list — separate from the official computerized list — that could have been used to hide lengthy waits for appointments at the sleep clinic, KUSATV in Denver reported. The list had more than 500 names on it, Belinski said. The VA has said officials discovered an “unofficial list” in 2012 and abolished it. Dan Warvi, a spokesman for the VA in Denver, said in an email to The Associated Press that no secret list exists. Roff didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment made through a spokesman. Investigators following up on whistleblower complaints have discovered largescale improprieties in the way hospitals and clinics around the country scheduled

veterans for appointments. Eight months ago, an audit found that 1,600 new patients had to wait 90 days or longer for appointments at eastern Colorado VA medical facilities. It wasn’t clear if the sleep clinic was included in the audit. The Colorado facilities were included in a nationwide audit on a single day in May. All told, more than 57,000 patients faced delays of 90 days or longer. The review also indicated that 13 percent of schedulers reported being told by supervisors to falsify appointment schedules to make patient waits appear shorter. In July, the VA announced it planned to fire two supervisors and discipline four others in Colorado and Wyoming after they were accused of falsifying health care data. A veterans hospital under construction in Aurora has encountered massive cost overruns and delays, but it wasn’t clear if Roff had any role in planning or supervising the project. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo., welcomed Roff’s departure, saying veterans deserve better leadership. “She did the right thing by leaving,” he said. Coffman has asked the VA to investigate the Denver-based eastern Colorado system. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., described Roff’s departure as an opportunity and urged the VA to find a leader to push for better care for veterans.

Needing a ‘sorry’ may hold you back Sometimes when we hold out for an apology we become trapped in the event or episode that caused a hurt in our lives instead of freeing ourselves from the burden of carrying it around with us forever. We have all been hurt or disappointed at some point in our lives. And it has either been because of someone else, an event or situation, or something we have done to ourselves that brings on those feelings of hurt and maybe even anger. As we approach Valentine’s Day we are reminded of love. We are encouraged to remember those we love the most through cards, candy, flowers, gifts, romantic dinners and affection. And I think one of the very best ways we can demonstrate love is through forgiveness. Even though there is that old saying about love means that we never have to say we are sorry, I believe that love and forgiveness are the best way to overcome the need for an apology. Does it feel good when someone apologizes? For some it feels really good, and for others it is an uncomfortable moment, maybe even awkward. The apology may serve to ease the tension and stress that have been building and escalating over time and open up the doors of communication again. Then again, the apology could create a weird kind of “now what?” moment, leaving both parties wondering, “Where do we go from here?” If love means never having to say you’re
sorry, does that mean we just live our lives through the spirit of forgiveness? Unconditional forgiveness for those who have hurt us, events that have occurred, and ultimately and most importantly for ourselves for the mistakes, missteps, and choices we have made could trump the need for any apology. I don’t know about you, maybe you are someone who really needs to hear the apology, I know I used to be that way too. I used to use the words or phrases like, “I need an apology,” “I want an apology,” or “I expect an apology.” I am not sure what I was really looking to gain. I came to realize it was either one of two things; I either wanted to other person to show remorse and feel bad for what they had done, or I needed to feed my own ego by being the one who deserved and received the apology. Both were extremely unhealthy for me as I never felt good with either outcome, as a matter of fact, sometimes I even felt
worse. Freedom is birthed through forgiveness as we learn to absolutely forgive others and ourselves at the very core of who we are. There is nothing that anyone can do to me or that I can do to myself where I will allow that situation to hold me hostage from my happiness. Does this mean I will forget the event or circumstance? Absolutely not, but forgiving is very different than forgetting. By not forgetting I can learn from the experience and make decisions about my future where I can potentially avoid the same kind of hurt. And by forgiving, completely and unconditionally forgiving, I am free to enjoy every other aspect of my life. So for Valentine’s Day my hope is that you will all enjoy the flowers, candy, cards and romantic gestures and that your ultimate demonstration of love this year will be the spirit of true forgiveness. How about you, are you enjoying the many benefits and freedom of forgiveness? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we allow forgiveness to trump apologies, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Something a little unsettling about applause Please hold your applause. On the final day of the term at my alma mater, professors were applauded at the end of the lecture. The enthusiasm in the applause, and the duration of it, were directly related to the appreciation the students wanted to express for the quality of the professor as an educator. Sometimes there was polite applause and sometimes there were standing ovations. One near-legendary philosophy professor invariably got a standing ovation. It went on and on. Remembering that this morning made me wonder where applause, applauding and clapping come from. Why not some other expression of approval, like grunting? I can answer the first part, but not the second part, although I have a pretty good idea. Applause, generally, is a pleasant sound. Grunting admirers may have worked after Moog brought down a pterodactyl. But it wouldn’t work after the Colorado Symphony performed Mozart. Like so many things, it all began with ancient Romans. They had a “set ritual” of applause for public performances, which expressed “degrees of approval.” It included waving the flap of the toga, which sounds like Groucho, Chico and Harpo. There are countless variations, and applauding can be accompanied, with foot stomping, for example. Applause can precede, interrupt, or follow an appearance or performance — or all three. Robin Williams would be introduced on
Letterman, and the applause was loud and long. Then he would say something unbelievably witty, and there would be more applause. When his segment ended, there would be more of the same. That wouldn’t go over so well in church. Or in a classical music concert. You’re supposed to wait until the end of the entire work. But if you haven’t been to a classical music concert before, you might not know that, and make a boob out of yourself. Is applause ever annoying? Yes. It’s one of the reasons why I can’t watch the State of the Union address. Someone always keeps score, and the number of times the President is interrupted with applause is in the papers the next day. Half the time, the applause seems insincere. Perhaps because half of the audience is playing for the other team. Slow clapping can mean two things. The audience is displeased, for one, or in films, it can be a crescendo from slow to furious, to signal a dramatic turning point (“Napoleon
Time for feds to reimburse Colorado Coloradans, perhaps more than anyone else, appreciate the beauty and adventure of the great outdoors, the innovation and job creation that come with a $600 billion recreation economy, and the importance of preserving our national treasures. Nearly onethird of our state is federal land, and we have more national parks than 46 other states. This year we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of one of those parks. Whether you’re climbing Longs Peak, watching the elk during the fall rut, or just driving Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park offers some of the best hiking, scenery and wildlife viewing that Colorado has to offer. It’s no wonder almost 3 million people visited the park in 2013. And Colorado’s national parks are serious business. In Colorado, more than 5 million
Dynamite”). Can applause be derisive? Yes. Earlier this basketball season, my alma mater fell behind to Kentucky, 24-0, before finally scoring. I knew exactly what was coming. Derisive applause. Some of us are applauded more than others, and some perhaps never at all. I have been, and it always makes me a little uncomfortable. For others, it would be uncomfortable if there were no applause. I took a few classes with dud professors, and I almost cringed when the time came to give our approval rating. The sound of one hand clapping. One of the most interesting after effects of sustained applause is the encore. I have been to concerts — Fleetwood Mac in Phoenix — that have had three or four encores. You needed hand lotion afterwards. I can tell you right now that this column is not going to get a standing ovation. It’s informative, but there is very little amusement in it, or unusual insights. But for once, there is no sarcasm, no facetiousness, no borderline nonsense. However, I am not above pandering. Don’t we live in the greatest state in the country? You bet we do. The purplish mountains and the sunny sunshine, not to mention the babbling Platte. It really is heaven on earth. (Columnist exits to polite applause.)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Rethink sledding hill
people visited our parks spending more than $330 million and supporting nearly 5,000 jobs in 2013 alone. Nationwide, more than 273 million visitors spent about $14.6 billion in the surrounding communities.
As reports of communities across the country closing sledding hills as result of having to pay out large sums of taxpayer money due to individuals not taking responsibility for their own actions, should the Town of Parker reconsider its position on the expansion of Salisbury Park North? The concept of a sledding hill is admirable to have a place for families to enjoy some winter fun. As a kid, enjoying a place to go with friends in the winter was a norm but we took responsibility for our actions and our parents didn’t point figures. We no longer live in that environment where individual responsibility was the norm but one in which individuals push blame for their irresponsible behavior and look for the quick dollar. I came from a community where the city installed new playground equipment for kids to enjoy but had to dismantle parts of it due to it being an attractive

well, Warn said. From 2008-10, revenues decreased due to declining participation in the lottery and from the impacts of the recession. Beginning in 2011, participation in the lottery was on the rise and the town saw the number increase from a low of $323,000 in 2010 to $431,000 in 2013.

other funds that are used to pay for those projects,” Warn said. • Parks, Recreation and Culture: $31.6 million The $17 million in capital improvements accounts for the majority of the expenditures and “transfers out” accounts for another $4.5 million. The operation of the PACE Center accounts for $3.2
million, operation of the recreation center accounts for $6.4 million, operations of the Mainstreet Center accounts for $300,000 and $250,000 in operating costs in the parks and recreation fund. • General government: $13.2 million General government expenditures are estimated to be nearly $3 million more than in 2014. The main reason for the increase is due to the creation of a new “internal service fund” to account for the town staff’s medical benefits since Parker’s government moved from fully insured to partially self-funded. In prior years, fully insured premium costs were allocated to every department with employees and the town paid an insurance company to administer and pay medical claims for employees. Be-
Fika will also attract students who might need a study getaway and retirees who can take a leisurely stroll down the street for a cup of coffee. Wyatt Hornsby, who moved to Idyllwilde more than four years ago, said he is eager to have a coffee shop so close by. “What’s most exciting is it’s a place where neighbors can gather and connect and really feel like a part of the community,” said Hornsby, who is a regular at Fika Coffee House’s original location. Hornsby’s father-in-law, who often visits from the Pittsburgh area, has become such a fan of
the downtown location that Fika is part of his vacation itinerary. He even has walked the seven miles roundtrip that it takes to get there and back. With good java and an expanded menu to include lunch options, it’s easy to see why the adults might be excited. But the kids have much to look forward to. The old sales office happens to be next to the community pool, and ice cream is one of Fika’s add-ons. “That’s the icing on the cake. My son is very excited,” Hornsby said. “We always go to the pool in the summer.”

Unfortunately, the national park system was caught up in the dysfunction of Washington. When Congress shut down the federal government in 2013, the national parks closed along with almost everything else. More than 400 parks and monuments across the nation, employing more than 20,000 Americans, were forced to close their gates. Fortunately, six states — Arizona, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and our own home state — advanced the National Park Service $2 million to temporarily reopen iconic parks like Rocky Mountain National Park, the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty. After 16 days, Congress managed to end the manufactured crisis. However, the states that stepped up to foot the bill were never repaid. That’s why we are teaming up with Republican senators including Cory Gardner, Jeff Flake, John McCain, Lamar Alexander and others to sponsor the National Park Access Act. This bipartisan bill will ensure that states are reimbursed for the funds they spent to temporarily reopen national parks during the shutdown. For Colorado, the shutdown couldn’t have come at worse time. It fell during one of Rocky Mountain National Park’s peak seasons, as vis-

itors flocked to see the changing aspen leaves. Worse, communities like Estes Park, which rely on the tourism, were still reeling from devastating flooding. While Congress was wasting time in endless debates, Coloradans were dealing with an unprecedented natural disaster. An entire year of rain fell in one day, damaging more than 18,000 homes, forcing tens of thousands of Coloradans to evacuate, and tragically killing 10 people. The revenue generated by the visitors to the legendary park was crucial in helping Estes Park rebuild following the catastrophic destruction. Thankfully, Colorado intervened to keep the gates open when Congress couldn’t get their act together to pass a funding bill for the year. From the Great Sand Dunes to Mesa Verde to Rocky Mountain, our national parks are not only one of the most valuable legacies we can pass on to the next generation, but are also key economic drivers for towns and cities throughout Colorado and the nation. Thankfully in a time of crisis, our state took the necessary steps to keep the park gates open and support recovering communities. It’s about time that the federal government kept its promise and reimbursed Colorado and other states, and our bill will make certain that happens.
ginning in 2015, every department with employees pays into the “internal service fund” and then the town pays the medical claims directly, up to a maximum amount of $75,000 per claim; any excess is paid by a secondary stop loss policy. The Town of Parker made the switch after analyzing the last four years of claims history compared to the amount paid in insurance premiums. It was discovered that if the town had been self-funded, it could have saved $571,000 “instead of it going to the insurance companies’ bottom line,” Warn said. • Fund transfers Roughly $5.9 million will be transferred out of the general fund. That includes $3.5 million to the parks and recreation fund for the rec center expansion project; $1.5
million to the PACE Center fund to support ongoing operations; $191,000 to the public improvement fund for the completion of the new public works facility at Hess Road and Tammy Lane; and $755,000 to the debt-service fund for the general fund’s portion of the principal and interest payments for the certificates of participation issued in 2014 to fund the rec center expansion and public works building. The excise tax fund “transfers out” is $3.95 million, which includes $3.7 million to the parks and recreation fund for the East/ Main Civic Plaza project adjacent to the new Parker Library, and $250,000 to the rehabilitation project on the Mainstreet Center.
WHERE THE NAME COMES FROM Fika (pronounced fee-KAH) Coffee House opened on Mainstreet in April 2008 and was named after the Swedish custom of “fika,” a verb which, loosely translated, means “to meet over coffee.” Fika serves “organic, fair trade” Kaladi Coffee and a variety of organic and herbal teas from Two Leaves Tea Company. Although Hornsby doesn’t know the Riveros personally, he is glad that the coffee shop will be owned and operated by someone who lives in the neighborhood.

Zip line course going up Fun begins March 14 at Castle Rock park By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando @coloradocommunitymedia.com Zip lines are swinging into Castle Rock’s new Philip S. Miller Park. Castle Rock Zip Line Tours will be hosting its grand opening March 14. The 1.5-mile course will soar along at speeds of 50 mph on what the company describes as some of the state’s longest and fastest cables. The towers and lines are already going up in the park. “It’s really coming together now. We’re finishing off the last few touches and making it pretty,” said owner Ty Seufer. “The course is awesome. I think people are really going to like it.” Zip line course are set up similar to golf courses with a “tee box” and final destination for each zip. According to Seufer, the lines will be increasingly adventurous as you make your way through the course. “The first couple are to get you used to everything and ease you in,” Seufer said. “By 10, the dual line, you’ll be going 50 miles per hour and racing your friends.” In addition to the traditional zip lines, the “Head Rush” Epic Adventure Tower will be opening in May. The Epic Adventure tower will consist of a 42-foot climbing wall, four rappelling stations and a 70-foot eagle’s nest platform. The tower also includes a 45-degree cable drop and will combine a zip line and auto belay line to provide an exciting drop to the

The full guided zip line tours last up to three hours. Participants under the age of 18 must have a signed waiver by a parent. The cost for is $59 for Castle Rock residents and $89 for non-residents. The town hopes the park will become a re-
gional attraction for the area, and the zip lines are likely to be a big part of that draw. “It’s a beautiful course. You’re going to be able to get high up on the ridges and have a great view of the whole park and the Front Range,” Seufer said.

Wizards wow crowd Harlem team featured as a fund-raiser for Douglas County schools By Jim Benton
jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com There’s no doubt that DeWayne “Swoop” Simpson would have loved to play in the National Basketball Association. However, he’s found something more rewarding as a member of the Harlem Wizards. Simpson and five of his Wizard teammates entertained young observers, older spectators and those in between for four nights with magical hoops shows at Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon, Castle View and Douglas County high schools to help raise funds. Simpson and his showboating teammates were at The Jungle at Rock Canyon on Feb. 4. An overflow crowd jammed into the gym and had smiles on their faces watching the Wizards display amazing basketball skills along with entertaining antics. The Wizards played against the Canyon Crew made up of teachers, coaches and administrators from Rock Canyon, Rocky Heights Middle School, Redstone Elementary, Wildcat Mountain Elementary and Buffalo Ridge Elementary. “It’s much more important than competing for an NBA championship,” said the 37-year-old Simpson, who played at Southern Connecticut University and was a former Harlem Globetrotter. “You play for that love, joy and happiness inside all these families and put a smile on their faces and to bring communities together. “That’s what it’s all about for us. And, we’re helping raise money in the process. When you look out into the crowd and know you are responsible for smiles and that great stuff, it’s the best thing ever. Yeah, there are lots of dunks, fancy passes and we have guys that are jumping out of the gym doing 360s. So it’s a lot of what you’ll see in the NBA with a more entertaining twist to

Photo by Jim Benton it.” Robert Vathalek, a student at Rocky Heights, agreed. “It was really cool,” he said. “It was different than traditional basketball. I didn’t expect to buy a ball. I’m going to get a couple signatures.” Fans were part of the show and 4-yearold Elia Pyeatte never shied away as the final participant in a ball catching drill and she wound up being a co-star along with Simpson.
Proceeds from the event at Rock Canyon will go to help the Rock Canyon boys basketball program. “It went well,” said Meg Masten who helped organize the Rock Canyon show. “I don’t know the profits yet but I feel like it was a huge success. “Castle View High school did this a couple years ago and the women who did that contacted all the schools to see if we could coordinate it as a whole Wizards week. That way we could put together some of the
costs to get them here.” There were 2,000 tickets sold for the Rock Canyon event, but spectators were also standing in the corners with some sitting on the floor behind the baskets. “We pay them a fee to come here, we fly them here and put them up in a hotel,” said Masten. “They get a cut of the ticket sales and we get a little bit of their souvenir sales. We’re hoping it was profitable.” Profits aside, it was enjoyable for those who attended.

Lawmakers deny death with dignity bill Concerns over reaction from state health care system By Amy Woodward
awoodward @coloradocommunitymedia.com
After 10 hours of emotional testimony from more than 100 witnesses, Colorado state representatives rejected the “death with dignity” bill, which would have allowed terminally ill patients to end their lives with the help of medical practitioners. Lawmakers on the Public Health Care and Human Services committee voted down the bill 8-5 on Feb. 6. “The principal of personal choice is something I have worked for my entire career,” said Rep. Jessie Danielson, D-Wheat Ridge. “...this bill has honor in it its intent, and this was a struggle for me but right now this bill today is not the solution.” Testimony received from people living with disabilities who stated the bill lacked any safeguards for discrimination from the state’s health care system that already provides obstacles for treatment options underscored some lawmakers votes for denial. “There just aren’t enough safeguards, especially for our most vulnerable population,” said Rep. Justin Everett, RtheJefferson County. “We have wereto make sure that everyone is e sit-protected.” Carrie Ann Lucas, a resiwe flydent of Windsor who has saidmultiple disabilities, includsalesing a progressive neuromusales.cular disease, said the passing of the Colorado Death hoseWith Dignity Act would drive insurance companies to help disabled people to die instead of getting them the help they need. “I’ve had to fight insurance denials that refuse to pay for my dental aid and other equipment to live, and I’ve had to fight efforts to keep doctors from putting a do not resuscitate order in my medical file,” Lucas said. “I don’t want to die, I’m not ready to die and I don’t want to be driven towards death by a system that devalues my life.” Several attorneys and other representatives from advocacy groups for persons living with disabilities echoed
Lucas’ statements. Colorado’s bill was modeled after Oregon’s. The bill would have required dying patients who have six months left to live to receive approval from two doctors for lethal medication. In the U.S., three states — Oregon, Washington and Vermont — have adopted similar right-to die legislation. States such as New Mexico and Montana have either ruled that it’s a patient’s constitutional right to obtain aid in dying, or, as the case in Montana, doctors are protected from writing a lethal dose prescription. Some proponents for the bill testified on behalf of religious views, but supporters argued the choice to end one’s live is a personal freedom. David Hibbard, a 77-yearold hospice physician who has Parkinson’s disease and lymphocytic leukemia, testified in support of the bill. Through his medical experience and education, Hibbard knows all to well what lies ahead as his illnesses progress. “I will be hunched-over, either bed bound or in a wheelchair unable to emulate because my muscles no longer work because of the Parkinson’s,” he said, his hands shaking. He will be unable to feed himself, swallow or speak. “I don’t want to endure this scenario and I certainly don’t want to have my family, my wife and three children, have to endure watching me grow through this rapid deterioration,” he said. “There are so many patients of mine that feel the same way I do, who want to have the ability

Joann Ginal, right, D-Fort Collins, hugs Carol Stork of Delta after her testimony about the death of her terminally-ill husband, Albert, on Jan. 2, during a Colorado legislative hearing on a bill proposal by Ginal that would give dying patients the option to seek help ending their lives Friday, Feb. 6, 2015, in Denver. Dozens of people with serious illnesses and others who have seen relatives suffer were on hand for the first public hearing on the measure, which would put Colorado among a handful of states currently considering laws to allow the terminally ill to get doctor-prescribed medication to die.

Castle Rock urges change in construction law By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock has publicly endorsed changes to a law that opponents say has increased lawsuits and liability for builders and developers. At the Feb. 3 town council meeting, Castle Rock passed a resolution officially urging state lawmakers to pass legislation amending a constructiondefects law during the 2015 session. The 2005 law has been cited as a reason for the state’s shrinking condominium market, and some say the legislation has forced the price of insurance for builders and developers so high that building condominiums is not worth the risk. They also say the law has made it easy for homeowners and homeowner boards and associations to sue over even minor defects. According to Town Manager Mark Stevens, Castle Rock met with the Partnership of Douglas County Governments on the issue recently. “The partnership suggested that
all of the municipalities in the county adopt a resolution encouraging the state Legislature to take action on this issue,” Stevens said. Some municipalities, including Parker and Lone Tree, have introduced ordinances to combat the issue. Castle Rock agreed to explore the possibility of its own rules similar to Lone Tree’s if the state does not act, but did not set forth or pass a specific proposal. “We’re at risk of creating a patchwork regulatory environment across the state, and how could that be in anybody’s best interest?” Stevens said. Many builders and opponents of the law advocate for the builder’s “right to repair” defects before having to face litigation. Members of the Douglas County state legislative delegation have indicated their intent to pursue legislation this session to try to address issues and concerns with current state law. State Sen. Mark Scheffel, R- Parker, has prepared a bill that is scheduled for introduction in the coming weeks. Legislators from Douglas County
have urged like-minded local officials to support changes to the construction-defects law to show it is a critical issue and spur action at the state level. Last year, a coalition made up of the business community, the Colorado Municipal League and affordable housing advocates attempted to move CN forward legislation to ease the liability # borne by developers.

Bang-up year for museum Many gifts were received through successful 2014 By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com As the Denver Art Museum begins a new year, it has issued a report on important acquisitions in the past year — most of them gifts. • The largest gift ever given to the museum leads the list. On Jan. 13, 2014, the announcement was made that Denver philanthropist Frederic C. Hamilton, the museum’s chairman emeritus for whom the new building is named, made a bequest of 22 impressionist masterworks from his own collection. Included: Van Gogh’s “Edge of a Wheat Field with Poppies,” the first Van Gogh in the collection. There are also four works by Monet, three paintings by Boudin — also a first in the DAM collection — and one by Cezanne — another first. Works by Manet, Moriset, Pissaro, Renoir, Sisley, Chase and Hassam are included. • The Architecture, Design and Graphics Department acquired furniture by British designer Faye Toogood — the first museum to acquire her work. It also was given floor tiles and flatware by Gio Ponti, who designed the North Building. • The Asian Art Department acquired three Japanese woodblock prints, including “Today’s Special” by Masami Teraoka. Curator Ronald Otsuka retired at the end of 2013 and this print was in his final exhibition: “At the Mirror: Reflections of Japan in 20th Century Prints.” Other Asian artworks were acquired or given in his honor. • The Modern and Contemporary Art Department received “A Beautiful Fall” by Joseph Stashkevetch and “White Rose” by Agnes Martin, which will be exhibited in May in “Showing Off: Recent Contemporary Acquisitions.” • The Native Arts Department added to all three collecting areas: American Indian, Africa and Oceania, including 25 katsina figures, four Micmac quilled boxes, 12 contemporary ceramic works and seven west African textiles.
Elitch Lanes owner Cal Eichinger is striking out to Arvada after the original bowling alley on Tennyson Street closes on May 17. When I spoke to Eichinger about the popular bowling spot’s closing after losing its lease, he told me that he was zoning in on a new location (sadly) outside of Denver’s city limits. “We’re going to take a bunch of our equipment, paint the inside just like Elitch Lanes,” Eichinger told Westword. “We’re going to make it feel as much like Elitch Lanes as we can and operate it with our philosophy — which is F.U.N. We don’t take it seriously.” The new Elitch Lanes will open at 10000 Ralston Road in Arvada, in the former Western Bowl. Eichinger — who has been in the bowling business for 40 years and has spent well over a decade as Elitch Lanes’ owner — says his new place is going to look and feel just like the old spot. “Most bowling centers still have some core business, based on traditional league bowlers that take bowling too seriously,” Eichinger said. “They treat it like a ‘win at all costs’ game and it’s like, really? We’re all amateurs. We like fun.” To honor the good times at the old location, Elitch Lanes will be having a weekend blowout celebration before its May 18 opening in the new spot. The original Elitch Lanes at 3825 Tennyson St. is open through May 17. The closing celebration will be from May 15 through May 17 with a $40 per person rate for all you can eat, drink and bowl from 6 to 9 p.m. or 9 p.m. to midnight daily. The new Elitch Lanes at 10000 Ralston Road in Arvada will open for business May 18. For more information, visit www.elitchbowling. com or call 303-477-1633.

School of Art and acquired additional ones from the Peck collection. • The Photography Department was given 10 photographs from Neil Winokur’s “Self Portrait” series in a style derived from his mentor, Andy Warhol. • The Textile Department received a family heirloom “Princess Feather” quilt, Japanese embroidery and an American tapestry.

Town Hall exhibits four artists’ work Littleton show is good fit with theme of play By Sonya Ellingboe

With the musical “Next to Normal,” about a family struggling to stay focused, running on stage, “The Art of Focus” would seem an appropriate title for a related art show. The exhibit runs through March 25 at the Stanton Gallery in Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center. Artists Jean Caggiano, Ugljesa Janjic, Sherry Sherman and Jam Wong exhibit their work at Town Hall, with a public meetthe-artists reception planned for Feb. 20 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Caggiano, a Colorado resident for more than 25 years, worked with color and composition as a graphic artist and has studied painting and color theory at the Art Students League of Denver. She has exhibited in ASL’s annual Summer Art Market for the past five years, as well in juried and invitational shows at Republic Plaza in downtown Denver, Lone Tree Arts Center, Curtis Arts and Humanities Center and Madden Museum in Greenwood Village, and Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora. s on Her oil paintings “capture the humble beauty of the vegetable,” she writes. “I’ll ofe ten go to the produce section searching for ing the next subject to paint … quite often the in subject chooses me.” She blurs the distincntion between realism and abstraction. Her titles illustrate a sense of humor: “Beets Me” or “Kindred Spears.” tch Janjic’s story begins with his birth in Bele grade, Serbia in 1958 and his arrival in the h U.S. to attend the University of Washingr ton’s architectural program in Seattle. “At take that time, watercolor was the preferred medium for architectural illustration because 0000 of its rapid application and efficiency.” WestHe writes that he has “meandered the through many jobs — from urban planning pent to graphic design, architecture and interior er — design — and through three continents and feel multiple cultures …” nters

Buntport offers its take on Colorado history ‘Yesterado’ is treat for schoolchildren By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com The always-imaginative Buntport Theater members have an education division, as
well as the basic playwriting/producing core members. Actors take fine-tuned productions about history, mythology and language out into the community for schoolchildren. “Yesterado,” a Buntport take on Colorado history, will be presented at 10 a.m. Feb. 23 to 26 at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Buntport writers combed through pulp newspapers from the 1890s for interesting characters and gossipy tales.
Charming Jack “Father of Colorado Theater” Langrishe and tightrope walker Marietta Ravel, performers who destroy con man Soapy Smith’s scam, usher children through their unique version of Colorado History. Margaret “Molly” Brown had a rocky trip from the Colorado mines into Denver’s social scene, where she was snubbed by the “sacred 36” and campaigned for women’s rights. Denver cyclist Dora Roberts, who set national bicycling records in the 1890s, fueled
a controversy over whether women should wear pants. Two Longmont folks had a front page faceoff over who had rights to do what in the new state of Colorado. Westward migration, different cultures and a start-up government will be addressed in this 55-minute production, suitable for grades K-6. For ticket information, call 720-509-1000 or visit lonetreeartscenter.org.

Ponderosa wins another league title Mustangs extend streak to 21 wrestling crowns in a row By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Remember in 1994 when O.J. Simpson captured attention as he tried to elude police in a nationally televised chase in his white Ford Bronco? Or when Brazil won the FIFA World Cup that was held in the United States, Major League Baseball canceled its season and the average cost of a gallon of gas was $1.09? That’s the same year Ponderosa High School’s wrestling team started its remarkable run of Continental League championships. The Mustangs won their 21st consecutive league championship Feb. 5 with a 4819 dual meet victory over Chaparral in the Wolverines’ gym. Ponderosa has compiled a 185-0 Continental League dual meet record over the past 21 seasons. “It’s a cool feeling for me personally because I was on the team when it started back in the 90s,” said Ponderosa coach Corey McNeills. “To come back and still be part of a string that has been going on for so long is a real cool thing.” Chaparral almost snapped the Ponderosa winning streak in 2009 when the Wolverines and Mustangs wound up their dual meet tied. However, the Mustangs Title continues on Page 20
It’s become an annual event to see Ponderosa posing for a photo after winning a league wrestling title. The Mustangs defeated Chaparral 48-19 on Feb. 5 to win their 21st consecutive Continental League wrestling championship. Ponderosa has not lost a dual meet since joining the Continental League in 1994 and has a 185-0 streak over the 21-year span. Photo by Jim Benton
Chaparral fourth at league meet Legend seventh, Ponderosa ninth in Continental League standings Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com League and pool records fell during the Feb. 7 Continental League swimming meet finals at Heritage High School. Local athletes took home awards for their efforts in the A finals. Chaparral’s Hannah Paris took top honors in the 100 freestyle, Danielle Fournier was third in the 500 freestyle and Lauren Moden was third in the 100 backstroke. The Legend team captured third place in the 200 medley relay. The day was devoted to league water sports. Earlier, the league diving championships were held at Littleton High School. Regis took the top three spots in the finals. Swimming meets are individual and team competitions at the same time. A swimmer is awarded team points according to where she finishes in an event. At the Continental League meet, the times posted in the Feb. 5 preliminaries determined placement in the Feb. 6 finals.
There are eight individual events and three relays in a swim meet. At the league meet, individual meet competition was held in the A, B and C finals with A and B finals for relays. League scoring awarded 27 team points for the first-place finisher in the A finals with lesser points for each finisher to one point for the sixth-place finisher in the C finals. Regis won the league team title with 487 and Rock Canyon was second with 469 points. Chaparral finishes fourth with 355 points, Legend was seventh with 292 points and Ponderosa was ninth with 121 points. Ponderosa coach Sheli Hemming said she has a small roster and a young team this year. “We have worked hard and I am proud of what the girls have accomplished,” she said before the start of the meet. Danielle Fournier, a Mustang senior, said she has been swimming for almost 13 years and loves it. “I have a passion for swimming and I have such a competitive drive. Once I get in the water I just go and have fun with it,” she said. “I swim the 500 freestyle and I am in the water a long time. My motivation is to beat the girl next to me, work past the pain and reach the end of the event first. I really don’t have anything on my mind. I am in
Chaparral’s Hannah Paris, left, winner of the 100 freestyle, congratulates Jamie Nats of Mountain Vista on her secondplace finish during the Feb. 7 Continental League Swimming Championships. Paris and her teammates amassed 355 points to finish fourth in the team standings. Photo by Tom Munds the zone and just go for it.” Swimming used a different system to determine state qualifiers. The state established two qualifying times for each event, one for pools with lanes measured in meters and one for pools measured in yards. The league meet was the final opportunity for those who were close to adding their names to the state-qualifier lists, and
it was the final meet of the year for those who didn’t reach the qualifying standards. However, those individuals and relay teams equaling or surpassing state-established qualifying standards move on to next week’s state championships. The 4A state meet will be held in Thornton Feb. 13 and 14 while the Class 5A state championships will be held at EPIC in Fort Collins.

Chaparral 45, Heritage 40: The Wolverines evened their Continental League record at 3-3 and improved to 10-9 overall with a Feb. 5 win. Sophomore Haily Cechini was the leading scoring for the Eagles with 11 points. ThunderRidge 53, Legend 33: The Grizzlies, the No. 1 team in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, led by 28 points after three quarters and cruised to a Feb. 8 Continental League triumph.

Ponderosa 59, Chaparral 47: Taylor Saunders scored 24 points and Ashleigh Ellis had 11 as the Mustangs notched a Feb. 3
Continental League win. Castle View 52, Ponderosa 43: The Sabercats remained in contention for the Continental League title with a Feb. 6 conquest of the Mustangs. The win left Castle View with a 5-1 record, trailing 6-0 ThunderRidge and 5-1 Highlands Ranch. The Sabercats play at Highlands Ranch Feb. 13 but have already lost, 62-45, to ThunderRidge on Jan.15.

won based on the number of wins criteria. Ponderosa won eight matches to Chaparral’s six. After the first five matches on Feb. 5, Chaparral held a 10-9 lead but Mustang wrestlers got five pins, a forfeit and Tyler Turco’s win by decision in next nine matches to secure the win. Tanner Olson, AJ Puga, Anthony Verdicchio, Parker Benekas and Jayden Woodruff earned six points each with Ponderosa pins. The only points garnered by the Wolverines were a decision by 113-pounder Frank Martinez and a forfeit win by heavyweight Dane Drimmer who concluded his Continental League dual meet career undefeated with a 28-0 record. “Bonus points are big,” pointed out McNellis. “In a dual if you get a pin, it’s twice as many points as a regular win. The guys are aware of that and they are also aware not to give up the bonus points. I’m just as proud that none of our guys got pinned. “I’ve got to hand it to the guys year after year because there is a little bit of pressure. We just wanted to focus on this year and
February 13, 2015 what this team wants to accomplish.” All the Ponderosa wrestlers were aware and focused on keeping alive the string league titles. “It feels great to win the league championship,” said Olson who pinned AJ David in 50 seconds of his 182-pound match. “The whole family of the Ponderosa wrestling team contributes to it. “The past 21 years we’ve won it, so it’s a big accomplishment. I would have felt real bad to be the captain of a losing team. I thought we were going to struggle this year, but we’ve done good overall and have a pretty good team.” Next up for Ponderosa and Chaparral are regional qualifying tournaments. The Mustangs will compete in Region 3 Feb. 14 at Westminster High School while the Wolverines will be in Region 2 Feb. 14 at Smoky Hill High School. The state tournament is scheduled for Feb. 19-21 at the Pepsi Center. “We’re fine with regionals,” said Chaparral coach Rod Padilla. “To me the league championship is not the most important thing in wrestling. Getting kids downtown and placing in state is much more important. I would have liked to beat Ponderosa, but it must not have been in the cards so we’ll get ready for regionals.”
Mustang grapples with grief Ponderosa had a little extra incentive for the Feb. 5 match against Chaparral because 126-pounder Eli Schwartz was visiting with his critically ill father, Mark, in the hospital but decided to wrestle against the Wolverines. “His dad was diagnosed with cancer a couple years back,” said teammate Tanner Olson. “We got news that his dad wasn’t doing too well in the hospital. So we all went and saw him. Eli decided to come back. He actually had to lose 2 1/2 pounds to wres-
tle.” Schwartz said it was tough to leave the hospital. “It was kind of hard and upsetting,” said Schwartz, who dropped a decision in his match. “I’ve got a lot of support from the team. They’re all really helping me out. I’ve talked with my family and everything.” Mark Schwartz lost his battle the next morning. The Ponderosa wrestling team planned to go to his funeral Feb. 9. — Jim Benton
Local athletes sign letters of intent By Jim Benton
jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Rock Canyon senior Emily Taylor did something a little different on Feb. 4. While athletes from south Metro schools were signing letters of intent to attend colleges and universities to play such wellknown sports such as football, basketball and lacrosse on the spring national signing day, Taylor was different. She signed a rowing letter of intent with the University of Oklahoma — and she has never before rowed. “It’s a funny story,” admitted Taylor. “I’m actually a swimmer. The University of Oklahoma is trying to build by recruiting swimmers of a certain height and a couple other things that would relate to good rowers. “I’ll be on the novice team next year. Usually when I tell people that I will be rowing next year, they look at me funny and say, `I didn’t know you rowed.’ I don’t row.” Rowing is one of the oldest intercollegiate sports in the United States, but rowers comprise a low percentage of total college athletes. “I will be rowing at Oklahoma,” said Taylor. “I’m a preferred walk-on. I won’t be on scholarship. Every morning we’ll be rowing on the river and just doing dry land kind of things. I’m really excited to learn about it. It’s going to be something completely new and something I’ve never done before, but it will cool to be at the Division I level for that.” Taylor was one of three south Metro athletes to sign rowing letters of intent. Regan McComb of Cherry Creek will be rowing at Kansas while Creek’s Adam Tavel will be attending Cornell and will be row-
ing. The following is a list of athletes provided by each school who have signed letters of intent. Some schools included names of athletes who committed last fall with the ones who signed on Feb. 4. Chaparral: Jessica Chappa, track/cross country, Metro State University; Chase Coon, basketball, Morningside; Grace Ditzenberger, volleyball, Hope College; Charlotte Hume, soccer, Wyoming; Bailey Taylor, softball, Otero Junior College ; Jesse Clark, lacrosse, Hendrix College. Legend: Joey Sale, basketball, University of Colorado Colorado Springs; Anna Kennedy, golf, BYU; Alex Ausmus, football, Illinois College; Madison Roberts, soccer, Northern Colorado; Alexis Nunn, soccer, Morehead; Cassi VanDeventer, soccer, Colorado School of Mines; Peyton Remy, baseball, New Mexico; Jordan Stephens, baseball; Greg Pickett, baseball, Mississippi State; Mathew Aguayo-Shannon, baseball, Eastern Arizona CC; Jared Case, baseball, Garden City CC; Kyle Morse, baseball, Monterrey Peninsula College; Lauren Moden, swimming, Denver University; Austin Hayes, soccer, Colorado School of Mines; Katherine Smith, track, Adams State; Austin Gilbert, football, Simpson College; Kaitlyn Royal, golf, North Central College. Lutheran: Josh Clausen, football, Wyoming; Alex Nemmers, football, Western State; Jake Vieira, baseball, Midland; Jamil Bond, football, Black Hills State; James Willis, basketball, Western State; Chandler Sturms, basketball, Colorado Christian; Kaleigh Paplow, basketball, Northern Arizona.
