Board ends mandatory expulsions of students for drug sales Revision to allow options is an effort to align with other disciplinary policy BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District principals and school leaders are no longer automatically required to expel a student who is caught selling or distributing illegal drugs or alcohol in a school building or on school property. The policy revision — unanimously approved by the school board Feb. 5 — is part of the board’s ongoing effort to update and align district policies. In the fall, the board revised its existing expulsion and suspension policy to comply with state law. DCSD’s mandatory expulsion is still in place in cases of possession of weapons. Passed in 2012, HB12-1345, the School Finance Act, eliminated mandatory expulsions for drugs, weapons, assaults and robbery. Under the law, grounds for suspension and expulsions changed from “shall” be grounds to “may” be grounds, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

The bill, signed into law by former Gov. John Hickenlooper, was an effort to prevent overly harsh penalties and allow school administrators and local school boards, at their discretion, to determine appropriate disciplinary responses to incidents on a case-bycase basis, the Colorado Department of Education reports. Douglas County School District staff presented the first reading of revised policy JICH, Student Involvement Regarding Drugs and Alcohol, at a Jan. 24 school board meeting. Under the policy, principals and school leaders can still expel a student, under appropriate circumstances. Under the revised policy, disciplinary actions could also include completing an approved drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation program. “I think this is a really good step in the correct direction,” board member Wendy Vogel said of the revision at the Jan. 24 board meeting. “If kids are afraid of getting expelled, they are not going to ask for help. I just think this is a good move.” School board President David Ray reassured district staff and community members that the district is not getting “soft” in its policies. “We want to be real clear that this does not provide leniency in terms of encouraging students that now

it’s OK to bring drugs to school,” Ray said at the Feb. 5 meeting. Some parents are concered with the board’s decision. Laura Jensen, of Parker, fears the change will do more harm than good. “Just one issue with this is that studies have shown that substance abuse increases the suicide rate among teens — which is absurdly high in Douglas County,” Jensen wrote on a Facebook post. “Even with these very high rates of suicide and teen drug use impacting kids in this district every day, this BOE is now choosing to look the other way instead of doing everything they can to protect students?” But other parents support the decision, emphasizing that mandatory expulsion takes away a student’s due process. Under the policy, the superin-

tendent is required to implement age-appropriate, developmentally based drug and alcohol education and prevention programs for all students in the district’s schools. The district currently has such programs in place. The seven-person Team Universal Prevention teaches seminars on such topics as resiliency and kindness for elementary school students and healthy boundaries, healthy relationships and substanceabuse prevention for middle school and high school students. Board members suggested implementing a regulatory policy, which would require ongoing training and provide resources for principals and school leaders, who would ultimately make the decision in cases of suspension or expulsion. The policy will be addressed again in the near future, district staff said.

Last week’s article “Parker police short 10 officers for several months” said the shortage was due to the long process it takes to become an officer and the town’s recent budget shortages. While the town’s budget shortages have affected the department’s ability to grow, it is not a direct reason for the most recent

shortage of officers, according to public information coordinator Josh Hans. The long process it takes to become an officer coupled with the higher standards to which the Parker Police Department holds its recruits are the two main reasons for the recent shortage of 10 officers, Hans said.

Special-needs students learn in coffee-shop setting The Stable at Ponderosa raises money for charity

Amelia Shah, 17, makes a latte at the Stable, a new coffee shop recently opened in January at Ponderosa High School. The Stable is run by special education students to prepare them for work after high school.

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Trinity Stultz has the recipe down pat: Mix the milk and cream, pour coffee in a cup and pour the froth on top. To the 14-year-old Ponderosa High School student, making the coffee is the easy part. It’s not until the early morning rush when things start to get a little difficult. Stultz is one of 14 Ponderosa special needs students who helps run the school’s newest attraction — The Stable, a small coffee shop run out of the school’s cafeteria. The shop opened Jan. 14 and has already helped students involved in the Significant Support Needs program to learn job skills to serve them after they graduate. Stultz’s favorite part is working the cash register because she likes handling the money. “I really like working here because it’s a fun place and I really enjoy it,” Stultz said. The Stable is one way teachers at Ponderosa are trying to prepare their students for life after high school. Alli Fabrizio, the SSN teacher in charge of the Stable, said many of the students will immediately enter the workforce upon graduation, and the coffee shop serves as a transition into working full-time. “Our focus for this year was on relevance,” said Ponderosa Principal Tim Ottmann. “It fit perfectly because there’s nothing more relevant than actually doing a job. It’s a great example to other departments that we want to give something to kids they can actually use after high school.” Fabrizio said she hopes to eventually implement a concession cart for winter sports. Rock Canyon, Castle View and Chaparral high schools have already come to Ponderosa looking to install a similar program in their schools. The shop is tied into Fabrizio’s Life Skills Math and Life Skills Science

courses. The Stable is open during one 90-minute period a day. Two SSN students will work 45-minute shifts, half of one class period, along with an adult supervisor and a peer intern. The students working the shop are paid in “Monopoly money,” Fabrizio said, and can save up money to earn prizes like gift cards. Thirty

percent of the money goes to charity and the rest goes to operational costs and back to the school. Fabrizio came up with the idea when she started at Ponderosa in 2016. Former students of hers continued having trouble transitioning into the workforce after high school. Currently most of Fabrizio’s students

enter the Douglas County School District Bridge Program, a program designed to help students build independence in life after high school. “I hate hearing that previous students are struggling,” Fabrizio said. “The Bridge Program…is phenomenal what they offer, and I want my kids to go in there with more confidence than what I’m hearing. I was hoping this could help bridge that gap.” Fabrizio said that the shop has already been a hit among students on both sides of the counter. For $3, the students can buy a latte on their way to class. One volunteer supervisor said it’s better than Starbucks. Stultz said she likes being able to make friends with her co-workers and the students frequenting the shop — even if it does get hectic when students line up out the door. “It’s been a learning curve, talking them through everything and the steps,” Fabrizio said. “We’re trying to make it concrete for them, so that when they eventually get used to it, it’s like riding a bike. But for now we’re still with training wheels.”

DCSD sells bonds; funds to go toward capital needs BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District has announced the sale of $249.975 million in general-obligation bonds, approved by voters in last November’s election. The Jan. 29 sale provides one-time funds for pressing capital needs, including security upgrades, facility repairs, classroom furnishings, buses and technology, according to a news release. For critical building repairs alone, the district estimates

it will need between $152 million and $200 million over the next five years. The bond sale is a “huge” step in the right direction for Douglas County, DCSD Chief Financial Officer Scott Smith said in the release. “There was high demand in the marketplace for the school district’s bonds,” Smith said. “That, along with our strong credit rating, allowed us to secure a low interest rate and begin to move forward with much-needed improvements in our district.” Total proceeds from the sale will

be approximately $289 million, the release says. Because of DCSD’s credit strength and the current interest rate environment, the district’s bonds generated a premium, resulting in more funds for the district’s capital needs. The result of the sale does not impact DCSD’s pledge of a nonew-taxes bond, the school district assures. Jason Simmons, DCSD’s financial adviser and the managing director at Hilltop Securities, said: “The structure of the bonds, combined

with the high credit ratings of the Douglas County School District, generated significant interest from a broad group of investors, helping the school district achieve very favorable results that provide benefits to the district taxpayers.” The bonds carry an “Aa1” rating from Moody’s and an “AA+” from Fitch. The district’s high credit quality is a result of “strong financial management practices and a robust tax base,” the release says. DCSD was set to have access to the funds from the sale on Feb. 7.

Pesch sentenced to probation Man who had been accused of killing teacher released after more than a year in jail BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dan Pesch — who in 2017 confessed to killing Kiowa High School teacher Randy Wilson in 2010, only to later say he didn’t do it and have murder charges dropped — was sentenced to three years’ probation on Feb. 4 after pleading guilty to a charge of attempted escape. Pesch, 35, was scheduled to be released from the Elbert County Jail on Feb. 5, 414 days after he was arrested in December 2017 and charged with Wilson’s murder. Pesch’s arrest followed months of increasingly frantic confessions to Elbert County investigators. The murder charge against Pesch was dropped in December 2018, after prosecutors said they were unlikely to convince a jury of Pesch’s guilt. Pesch pleaded guilty, however, to a charge of attempted escape, a felony, incurred when he broke free

and an alibi placed him hundreds of miles from the scene of Wilson’s death, according to testimony. “Mr. Pesch was in the midst of a mental health crisis” when he broke free from arresting officers in the jail parking lot, said Pesch’s defense attorney, Elizabeth Orton, during his sentencing hearing. “I don’t think his actions truly hit him until this charge, the attempted escape. It was in that moment where reality hit him that he was being arrested for a crime he didn’t commit.” Pesch, who smiled throughout the hearing, said he was sorry for the trouble he caused. “I apologize for my actions to law enforcement and to the Wilson family for what occurred in 2017,” Pesch said. “I feel horrible about what I put them through.” As part of his probation, Pesch will be required to complete a full psychiatric evaluation and comply with any recommended treatment, complete a substance abuse treatment program, attend cognitive behavioral therapy, submit to random drug tests and maintain employment of at least 40 hours a week. Pesch has no permanent address, Orton said, and planned to move into a sober-living facility in Denver after his release.

Company’s new Lone Tree campus will bring more than 1,000 jobs STAFF REPORT

A large construction and engineering company will open a regional headquarters, with 1,100 employees, in the RidgeGate area of Lone Tree. Over the next year, Kiewit expects to hire about 200 additional employees for the campus, which will be adjacent to the Sky Ridge Light Rail station that is scheduled to open in May, according to a city news release. “This project is an exciting addition to our vibrant business community, and validates the city’s investments in our multimodal transportation network and arts, recreation and openspace amenities,” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said in the news release. Kiewit hopes to open in Lone Tree by 2021. Kiewit’s home office is in Omaha, Nebraska. The company has roots dating to 1884, and it has projects and

offices in Canada, Mexico and Australia, in addition to the United States, according to Kiewit’s website. The company had $8.6 billion in revenue in 2016, the site says. The move is a product of collaboration between the following entities, the release says: the state office of economic development and international trade, the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp., the city, Douglas County, the Denver South Economic Development Partnership and RidgeGate Investments. “Kiewit’s project is exactly the kind of corporate campus and partner for which we have been holding out this premier transit-oriented site, and we believe Kiewit will benefit from RidgeGate’s mixed-use walkable environment and transportation accessibility,” said Keith Simon, executive vice president of RidgeGate’s developer, Coventry Development Corp.

he 16th president came to Centennial for an afternoon — or, at least, that’s what the audience saw when John Voehl put on a presentation as Abraham Lincoln at the South Suburban Family Sports Center. “I was sitting in Springfield,” Voehl said in front of an audience of about 100 at 6901 S. Peoria St. “While the country is falling apart, and Buchanan was doing nothing.” Voehl spoke as Lincoln describing the history that led up to his presidency, the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. He took the audience on a journey, with lots of laughs along the way, through the early decades of the country. “I need to cut this short — I get so inspired,” Voehl said, opening the floor to audience questions. “You know what happens when a politician gets started.” Voehl is turning 67 this month — or “210 on Feb. 12,” he joked, referencing Lincoln’s birthday. He lives in the Littleton area, and his wife portrays Lincoln’s wife with him in plays. He’s presented nearly 1,350 times in 45 states since 1996, he said. “The Q-and-A session is what

Poll finds support for public lands protections Colorado voters back clean water, wildlife habitat

BY THE NUMBERS

percent of Coloradans consider themselves outdoor recreation enthusiasts

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado residents continue to support efforts to keep public lands protected and accessible, according to the ninth annual Colorado College State of the Rockies Project Conservation in the West Poll, which was released Jan. 31 and presented at the Outdoor Retailer Snow Show in Denver. The poll surveyed the views of voters in Colorado and seven other Mountain West states — Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming — on policies impacting the use and protection of public lands. The role of public lands and the outdoor way of life continued to be of deep importance to Colorado voters, with 73 percent of Coloradans viewing themselves as “outdoor recreation enthusiasts” and 69 percent labeling themselves as “conservationists.” For 73 percent of respondents in Colorado, the ability to live near, recreate on and enjoy public lands like national forests, parks and trails is a factor in why they live in the West. An overwhelming majority — 90 percent — believe the outdoor economy is important to the future of Colorado. “Our state’s mountains, rivers and prairies are the foundation of the

The highest disapproval came when asked about removing national monument protections from lands in the West that contain archaeological and Native American sites, but also have oil, gas and mineral deposits. In Colorado, 72 percent of those polled said this was a bad change. Additionally, 63 percent said removing Clean Water Act protections from smaller streams and seasonal wetlands was also a bad change.

In addition, 80 percent of Colorado respondents said they support Congress restoring the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which expired last September.

Water, wildfires and wildlife Impacts of uncontrollable wildfires and water issues topped the list of voter concerns this year. Those concerns are associated with the impacts of climate change, which 62 percent of those polled view as a very serious or extremely serious problem in the state. This number has been steadily increasing each year of the poll’s history. When asked about wildfires, 69 percent of those surveyed in Colorado believe they are more of a problem than 10 years ago, with changes in climate and drought being the top reasons given for the shift.

ABOUT THE POLL

This is the ninth consecutive year Colorado College has gauged the public’s sentiment on public lands and conservation issues. The 2019 Colorado College Conservation in the West Poll is a bipartisan survey conducted by Republican pollster Lori Weigel, of New Bridge Strategy, and Democratic pollster Dave Metz, of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates. The poll surveyed at least 400 registered voters in each of eight Western states for a total 3,204-person sample. The survey was conducted between Jan. 2-9, 2019 and has a margin of error of ±2.65 percent nationwide and ±4.9 percent statewide. The full survey and individual state surveys are available on the State of the Rockies website. tunities for outdoor recreation. “The poll underscores that people living in the West are overwhelmingly outdoor recreationists,” said Amy Roberts, executive director of Outdoor Industry Association, a trade organization for the outdoor industry. “Whether they enjoy the outdoors through hiking, biking, fishing or camping … our outdoor recreation lifestyle translates to healthy communities and healthy economies across the West. The poll also shows that most of us want our elected officials to support policies that protect and maintain access to our public lands and waters. We hope they now take an opportunity to build bipartisan support on these issues.”

Her name is Newsha Syeh, and she has 238,000 followers. Yahoo Lifestyles reported, “She wore

However, over 3 billion people worldwide actively use social media, and they are regarded as a perfect audience for influencers, who guide their followers at decision-making time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A big-picture fix needed DCSD Superintendent Tucker’s recommendation to fire Michelle Grissom can be expected, but it’s a narrowly focused reaction that doesn’t address the root cause of the problem, which is the liberal culture. Firing Ms. Grissom provides the appearance of a message, but the downside is the suppression of teachers’ freedom of expression. I care about effectively clearing house of all radical agendas, and Superintendent Tucker’s recommendation doesn’t do it. As a substitute teacher in Douglas County for over 20 years, I’ve seen it all, and the controversy surrounding Ms. Grissom is merely about treating symptoms. The problem is that she was totally comfortable speaking out loud as a liberal falsely accusing a student who opposed her agenda. Asking this school board to fire Ms. Grissom now is like asking the fox to guard the hen house. There’s very little daylight between this school board and liberal teachers. As a substitute teacher, my first task is to review teacher notes and settle into the teacher’s desk. I don’t appreciate having to sit at desks promoting Bernie Sanders, supporting socialism and influencing so many impressionable minds. I don’t recall seeing any desks supporting Donald Trump during the election, but many teachers have told me privately how much they do. I don’t want any suppression of free speech, I want debate and for it to be balanced. Is firing Ms. Grissom the only remedy for fixing the problem? How about a recommendation for a package of solutions? Rita Young Parker Just the facts, please It was disappointing to read Ellis Arnold’s account of certain bills currently being discussed in

the Colorado Legislature. “Democrats wasted no time in taking up liberal causes” is the first sentence leading the reader with the author’s apparent bias. I am hopeful that our Colorado Legislature will continue to be an example of bipartisan leadership, representing the best interests of its constituency. That goal is greatly undermined by a media (and therefore individual journalists) who report with a personal bias and agenda along party lines. Please contribute to a healthy, intelligent voting populace by providing straightforward reporting. Kerry Workman Parker A vote against bill If Mike Foote’s bill in the Colorado Legislature to make the popular vote count becomes law it will have exactly the opposite effect. Your vote won’t count, instead it will likely be overruled by the more populous states of our country. Imagine that Colorado votes for Candidate A and A wins the popular vote in our state, say 55 percent over Candidate B’s 45 percent. But Candidate B won the popular vote in the overall USA so because of this new law our voters are overruled and candidate B gets Colorado’s electoral college votes despite how the state’s popular vote went. So much for the will of the voter — that is ignored. While this may seem like a great idea if you disliked the outcome of the last presidential election, consider that it may not always go the way you want it to. Moreover, whichever way it does go, it minimizes the will of our Colorado voters and very likely makes their votes not matter. If that’s the case, why bother to vote? William A.

During my research, I kept seeing some of the same words and phrases over and over. Influencers strive to “grow their channel.” Influences should “look at analytics” in order to “grow their channel.” Influencers should post “on a consistent schedule” to “grow their channel.” I want to marry a lighthouse keeper, and keep her company. This all sounds like a laugh track to me: a device that tells you when to laugh, even when something isn’t funny. It turns out, after years of (my) scrutiny, that people actually want to be told what to do, wear, buy, think and believe.

Noticing what we notice and looking for the good

ave you ever noticed what it is that you are actually paying attention to? For me, I recently realized that I was focusing on what was right in front of me and had lost a little of my peripheral vision and even a little of my peripheral perception.

An update on how schools are spending voter-approved funds

ast November, members of the Douglas County community voted yes on ballot measures 5A (mill levy override) and 5B (bond) in a show of support for the 68,000 students and 8,100 staff members in the Douglas County School District. As promised, here is an update on how your tax dollars are being spent. 5A — Mill levy override ($40 million) Mill levy override (MLO) funding is generally used for operational needs such as salaries, staffing and student programming. Douglas County will collect the $40 million through property taxes each year. Did you know that this tax increase is slightly lower than what was estimated and communicated prior to the election? DCSD was conservative in estimating assessed valuation across the county, as we would rather see a lower tax impact to individual homeowners than what they expected. The passage of 5A will result in a property tax increase amounting to an additional $43 per $100,000 of assessed home value for Douglas County homeowners. Here is a look at how MLO funds have been utilized since the election: • Compensation There will be $17 million used for staff compensation and benefits (excluding superintendent and cabinet). DCSD is using these funds to make a positive impact on our employees regarding compensation. This helps begin to narrow the gap between our school district and neighboring districts, but we know there is still work to do and this process is ongoing.

That’s why we have kings and gurus and prophets and motivational speakers, and it’s also why we have people who pretend to be kings, gurus, prophets and motivational speakers, to take advantage of our wills and wallets. Maybe I have a calling for it and don’t know it. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough followers to be an influencer. Influencers are required to have hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of followers. But there may be hope. There is something called a “micro-influencer.” Of course there is. Micro-influencers can start to influence with as few as 10,000 followers. My problem is my channel. I don’t

GUEST COLUMN

It is important to note that some DCSD staff also received pay increases in the months leading up to the passage of 5A. In addition, DCSD’s licensed staff (including teachers) who were continuously employed by DCSD since 2008 also received Thomas Tucker increases to compensate them for years in which they may have experienced a pay freeze. These adjustments were paid out at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year. Each of these increases was taken into consideration when creating the compensation plan to be paid with MLO dollars. • Mental health resources There will be $3.5 million used to add counselors at the elementary school level. There will be $2.5 million used to reduce the middle and high school counselor-to-student ratio in DCSD. • Career and technical education There will be $2 million used to increase career and trade-focused student programming, and to hire certified staff members for Career and Technical Education courses. • School-level funding There will be $7 million going toward school-level funding. These funds will be distributed depending on individual school needs. This includes increasing funding for students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, and adding money for small schools. • Charter schools

have one. And I don’t know what my niche is. But once I do, it will be just a matter of time before the saps come out. As Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) says in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” “Hard times bring out the saps.” And these are hard times. It’s not easy making up your own mind anymore. That’s where influencers come in. Meanwhile on Instagram: Newsha Syeh said, “Angels run naked in my veins.” Right, and mixed metaphors run naked in mine, where thin gruel always has something to hang its hat on. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Approximately $8 million of the MLO was passed through to DCSD charter schools on an equal, per-pupil basis. 5B — Bond ($250 million) As 5B was a no-new-taxes bond, homeowners will not see increased taxes for that ballot measure. 5B allows DCSD to sell $250 million in bonds to generate onetime funds for capital needs such as security upgrades, facility repairs, classroom furnishings, buses and technology. DCSD set a budget that addresses a portion of Master Capital Plan needs at all schools built before 2008 (including charter schools), in addition to technology, furniture, support facilities, transportation and many other district-wide improvements. DCSD will soon identify contractors to help with pre-construction efforts. Additionally, DCSD is identifying vendors for roof replacements, carpet replacements, athletic field improvements, bleacher replacements, fire alarm system upgrades,

door hardware security upgrades and mechanical control upgrades. Much of this work will take place this summer, when schools are mostly empty.

Mill Bond Oversight Committee DCSD is in the process of forming a community Mill Bond Oversight Ad-Hoc Committee (MBOC). The committee will be made up of community members who will ensure MLO/bond expenditures are in alignment with ballot language approved by voters and periodically report to the Board of Education the status of expenditures. We are committed to keeping you updated on how mill levy override and bond funds are being used in DCSD. Please continue to visit www.dcsdk12. org/funding for the latest information. Again, thank you for your support of our students and staff! Thomas S. Tucker, Ph.D., is the superintendent of the Douglas County School District.

Performer interprets American treasure Maya Angelou

start to finish in Colorado, rather than shipping part of the production to Asia, like many companies in the industry. “That’s important both in terms of the factory here and the environment in which we operate, versus a factory in Southeast Asia, where theres a lot less in the way of restriction,” Eynon said. “The energy is not produced in nearly as clean of a fashion as it is here.”

ne of the great AfricanAmerican figures of the 20th and 21st centuries is Maya Angelou, a poet, writer and speaker of quiet dignity and power. Though we lost her in 2014, her voice lives on in her work and the people she influenced. One of those people is actor and scholar Becky Stone, who will be bringing Angelou to audiences with her Chautauqua presentations around the metro area as part of COMING HumaniATTRACTIONS Colorado ties’ Black History Live tour. “The focus of my presentation will be on the power of words,” Stone, who lives in North Carolina, explained. “Reading and writing was such an important Clarke Reader part of her life, and I’m connecting her life stories to her writings.” Stone will be presenting at four locations: 2 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21, at Bemis Public Library, 6014 Datura St. in Littleton; 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23 at Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Branch Library, 1498, N. Irving St.; 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at Metropolitan State University Denver, 890 Aurora Parkway; and 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28 at the Community College of Aurora, 16000 E. CentreTech Parkway. Being a Chautauqua scholar means that Stone will perform as Angelou — she’ll even take audience questions as the poet, only answering with information that is historically accurate and based on textual evidence. The research is one of Stone’s — who also performs as Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks — favorite parts of being a Chautauqua Scholar. And there was plenty to learn about Angelou. “As a performer I have to be honest with what I learned about her, and I’ve really grown to love her,” Stone said. Stone’s main goal with these performances is to bring as full of a person as she can to life in front of the audience and allow them to connect with her. “So many people loved her and I can feel that when I perform as her,” she said.

Meier Skis, located in Denver, manufactures skis and snowboards handcrafted from locally harvested aspen and beetle-kill pine trees. “We picked the trees largely because of the number of them that are here in Colorado,” said Ted Eynon, owner of Meier. “They are the native species and there is sustainability around them.” By not shipping trees in from other countries, it increases the sustainability of Meier’s skis, while the dryness of Colorado-grown aspens and pines also give the skis a light, poppy core. “The wood core is really the heart and soul of the board,”Eynon said. “We like to put it front and center.” This is why Meier uses a clear top sheet on their boards — to show off

WHY: There’s a bar made out of Meier skis cores where you can sit and enjoy a local brew, and watch skis be pressed through large glass windows. Look, touch and flex Meier skis that are hot out of the press at the Denver factory. Meier skis are made start to finish in Denver, starting with Colorado trees. COURTESY PHOTO

the grains and color of the wood and the workmanship. This also allows Meier to use less ink in their production process. “Ink is not the most environmentally friendly product in the world, so we use a lot less ink because we show more wood,” Eynon said. “Generally speaking, making skis is not an ecofriendly process, so we’re just trying to do what we can to help make them a bit more eco-friendly and a bit more sustainable.” Meier is also reducing its carbon footprint by making the entire ski

Woman’s writing gives insight into world of combat service Kristine Otero is Army veteran who was deployed twice as machine gunner in Iraq BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A slim volume called “Still Coming Home,” an anthology of written works by local military veterans, grew out of the Denver Veterans Writing Workshop, which started in 2014. It was inspired by former Chairman Will Adams of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a Vietnam veteran and philosophy scholar. “Explore the experience of war through the lens of the humanities,” he suggested. Can a veteran truly come home? Writing can help, Adams said. Veterans Jason Arment and Stephen Dunn asked Colorado Humanities for assistance with starting the Denver workshop in 2016. Because Colorado Humanities had recently been awarded an Arts in Society grant, funded by the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Colorado Creative Industries and the Hemera Foundation (Boulder), it was able to say yes, and the workshop started in

2016. Centennial resident Kristine Otero has regularly attended the once-a-month Sunday afternoon sessions and plans to continue. Her memory piece in “Still Coming Home” is called “Out of Death: The Birth of a Combat Veteran.” It pushes into a reader’s mind and stays there. We met for coffee and conversation recently. Writing is what Otero needs to do, and a memoir of her war experiences is in process. She also is submitting short pieces regularly to 0-Dark-Thirty, an online magazine for the military, and elsewhere. Otero served on active duty with the Army from 2003-07, then in the Texas National Guard until 2010, when she was honorably discharged. She has an undergraduate degree in psychology from Liberty University and has started on a master’s degree in public administration through American Military University. Her piece begins: “Prior to joining the Army, I existed as an extroverted, irresponsible girl of 22. I will refer to her as `she’ because we don’t have much in common except our shell … She was desperate, grasping at anything that would hold her long enough to trap her and save her from her life. A contractual obligation to the Army did just that.” And more …

Kristine Otero is a member of the Denver Veterans Writing Workshop. COURTESY PHOTO “To be able to hide in the middle of a group only made me stronger.” The articulate Otero, who is 5 feet tall and very slender — but all muscle — lived in Germany for a couple years and was deployed to Iraq twice as a machine gunner. A machine gun fortunately broke down into three pieces so she was able to get it mounted without assistance. “By the time we deployed to Iraq, my world was so small that all I could see were the front and rear gun trucks — of the convoy. Nothing else mattered.” “Misogyny, sexism, gender inequality — it all exists in the military, but I tried not to let it affect me. For females, for me, this meant I had to try harder at everything. I had to prove I was big enough, strong enough and tough enough mentally … My NCOs joked about selling me to the local nationals for a goat and two tomatoes. I only wanted one of the tomatoes …

“My battle buddy Joey Otero and I decided we loved each other enough f c to get married so that we could at S least be together for the next few 1 years, versus being stationed in separate places. Knowing I was les- d bian, we agreed our marriage would i be a partnership of two best friends, y willing to try their hardest for each s p other.” She credits him with saving her c life. (They are no longer married, M but remain close friends.) “Having each other made the transition into the civilian world t less shocking … Although I don’t d i know for sure where problems begin for veterans, I do know that i f very little of our thinking transr lates over to mundane life after w combat. Almost immediately, I realized I operated in a fight-orflight mode all the time. I operate p in crisis mode all the time, but to d the outside world it comes across asB neurotic, a little obsessive-compul- b sive... In my PTSD brain, if every- s t thing is life or death, there is no room for error, no in-between. Days L p must be regimented and follow a routine, a predetermined plan, and fi executed as if my survival depends s f on it …” To her family, it seems “dramatic t and unreasonable …” As we spoke, Otero would periodim cally relax a bit, smile and speak happily of her fiancée and upcom- c ing marriage — a wedding celebra- g tion at the beautiful Arvada Center C is planned, and focus on that brings i a change in her face and eyes. Close r Army friends from across the coun- p try plan to be here with her — and b Joey Otero will be her bridesmaid! Contributors to the anthology have appeared at several locations in the area to share stories with an audience, including The Bookbar in Berkley. Also included is the Colorado Photographic Arts Center at 1070 Bannock St., where those who completed a 2018 Veterans Photographic Workshop series have exhibited work. Otero and others will appear at March 2 at Ross Branch Library, 305 Milwaukee St., in Cherry Creek.

Meier was one of over 900 retailers from throughout the world to showcase at the Outdoor Retailer Snow Show in Denver from Jan. 30 to Feb. 1. Outdoor Retailer, the largest outdoor recreation expo and conference in the country, moved to Denver last year after ending its 20-year partnership with Salt Lake City due to Utah politicians’ policies toward land conservation and U.S. public lands. Making clothes from recycled materials Another brand making waves through sustainability in the outdoor space is PrimaLoft Inc., which is known for two of their three insulation products being made from a percentage of post-consumer recycled product. Over 500 brands worldwide partner with them. Last month, PrimaLoft announced partnership with five iconic outdoor brands to introduce PrimaLoft Bio, the first 100 percent recycled, biodegradable synthetic apparel insulation and performance fabric. In tandem with Helly Hansen, Houdini, L.L.Bean, Norrøna and Vaude, apparel featuring PrimaLoft Bio will first debut at retail in fall 2020, with some brands debuting styles in the following seasons. They showed off concept styles at the Snow Show. “We’ve collaborated with a community of brands that share our common sustainability values and goals,” said PrimaLoft president and CEO Mike Joyce. “It is a privilege to introduce PrimaLoft Bio with these respected companies — all of whom provided invaluable insight and feedback on this technology.

are establishing a new industry standard for environmentally conscious product design, sustainability best practices and transparency, to meet consumer demand.” Made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled material, PrimaLoft Bio fibers break down when exposed to specific environments — such as a landfill or the ocean. PrimaLoft has enhanced the fibers to be more attractive to the naturally occurring microbes found in these environments so that they eat away at the fibers at a faster rate, returning the fabric or insulation to natural elements. Fibers will only biodegrade when exposed to these naturally occurring microbes in landfills or bodies of water, thus, the insulation or fabric remains highly durable throughout its usable life cycle in a garment. To date, PrimaLoft has saved 95 million plastic bottles from landfills and transformed them into

premium insulation technologies. The company’s goal is that by 2020, 90 percent of PrimaLoft insulation products will have at least 50 percent post-consumer recycled content, without compromising performance. Shoes lock up carbon Increased sustainability and decreased environmental impact is something Canadian shoe company SOLE is aiming for as well. Researching new ways to increase the recycled content in their products led SOLE to natural cork. Cork pulls carbon out of the atmosphere and locks it away, and is also an excellent replacement for petroleum-based components.

Inspired by the potential of cork, SOLE launched the ReCORK program in 2008 and grew it into North America’s largest natural cork wine closure recycling program. The recycled wine corks are used as the primary material in a new footwear line, as well as a growing line of other consumer products. Since launching, they have collected and recycled close to 100 million corks from more than 3,000 cork-collection partners and planted more than 8,000 cork oak trees. At Snow Snow, the company debuted its fall/winter 2019 line, which includes 12 new footwear styles that prioritize sustainability with the ReCORK recycled cork midsole, which is entirely biodegradable and sustainable. The line also uses algae-based Bloom Foam to partially replace petroleum-based materials. The alternative reduces environmental impact, while also removing harmful algal blooms from natural waterways. Natural rubber, rice rubber, merino wool and bison fur insulation are also used in the new line. “We believe we have a responsibility to each other and future generations to consider the impact our actions have on our environment,’ SOLE’s website reads. “We measure the impact we have on the earth and offset accordingly, eliminating our carbon footprint beyond carbon neutral, all the way to carbon negative.” In the Denver metro area, there are about a dozen ReCORK cork drop-off locations.

on time more often and not so rushed. To manage my calendar and my events and my customers so that I am fair to everyone. But I am doing it mostly so that I can get back to noticing what it is that I actually notice. And not just in an airport but everywhere in my life. I love to look for the good things, the inspiring people, the loving couples or families, the sunrise or sunset, the ocean, and someone who happens to be helping another person, especially when it is a perfect stranger. It’s like walking through the supermarket and seeing a shorter person trying to reach the top shelf to get a specific item and noticing when a much taller young man or woman stops by and asks if they could help them. You see, those are the things I want to notice, those are the things I choose to notice. Now I am not saying turn a blind eye to everything else, If we see injustice we need to do something about it. Even if it means we just go find help or call 911. What I am saying is that if we allow ourselves to focus on the bad things it can become addictive and the next thing we know, that is all we are noticing. We are the ones choosing to notice the negativity in the news or on the internet, the arguing, the barriers

to success instead of the opportunities. I am simply making the choice not to allow my peripheral perception or vision to be corrupted. I would rather it be intentional about looking for the good. Think about this question for just a moment, and ask yourself, “What is it that I am noticing these days?” Are you noticing more good than bad, or are you noticing more bad than good? It’s like asking the age-old question, “Is the glass half full or half empty?” But you see, it’s more than that. It’s knowing what gives you energy and enjoyment and what drives your passion and purpose. And when we know what those things are, we plan on seeking them out and noticing them more and more. And likewise, when we know what drags us down and takes the wind out of or sales and drains us emotionally, we stop paying any attention to any of those at all. So how about you? Are you choosing to allow yourself to focus on what your eyes see, what your ears hear, and what brings you positive energy? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we pay attention to the good stuff, and pay more attention to noticing what we notice, it really will be a better than good week.

Wrestling moves ahead as basics stay the same

om Beeson played football and wrestled at Denver’s Abraham Lincoln High School. I ventured to the state wrestling tournament held at Englewood High School when my classmate Beeson captured the heavyweight title. Regional state qualifying tournaments will be held Feb. 14-16 and large OVERTIME crowds will gather at the Pepsi Center for the Colorado High School Activities Association’s State Wrestling Championships on Feb. 21-23. There have been some changes in the sport over the years Jim Benton but the basic sport of wrestling is the same. “Wrestling is wrestling,” said former Ponderosa wrestling coach Tim Ottmann. “It’s the oldest sport in the world so I don’t think a whole lot of technical, practice drills or skills have change that much. The basics are still what you need to get you where you want to be along with being in shape and being strong. I don’t see a lot of techniques differences.” Beeson agreed. “It is basically the same sport,” he

said. I also asked Columbine wrestling coach Ray Barron to join the State of Wrestling discussion and between Beeson, Ottmann and Barron I got opinions from three coaches whose names dot the CHSAA wrestling record book. Beeson went from Lincoln to play football and wrestle and won a Division II national title at Western State. He was a head wrestling coach for 35 years, including 29 seasons at Pomona as the school’s first wrestling coach. The 2019 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Hall of Fame inductee is listed among the state’s top coaches with 15 state individual champions and two state titles. Ottmann is now the Ponderosa principal after coaching wrestling for 18 years and serving as the school’s athletic director for nine years. The Mustangs won eight state titles under Ottmann and he coached 13 individual state champions at Pondo. He coached for seven seasons at Burges, Texas. Barron has been at Columbine for five seasons after leaving Heritage after a 33-year stint. He also coached in Worland, Wyoming and Fort Lupton in his 44-year coaching and teaching career which is the most for coaches in Colorado. He has won over 400 dual meets in his career for a .742 win-

On campus: Chaparral • Andrew O’Connor had a hat trick, while Simon Herz, Alex Harlan and Dylan Florit each had two goals in a 10-0 hockey win over Summit on Feb. 8. Evan Crawford made 16 saves for the fourth-ranked Wolverines. Michael Gaudio scored two goals and Florit had three assists in an 8-1 victory over Castle View on Feb. 9. • The top-ranked boys basketball team used 19 points from senior Bryce Matthews, 14 from Dalton Waldron and 10 from Tanner Giles to spark a 60-49 win over fourthranked ThunderRidge on Feb. 8. The regular season ends Feb. 15 with a road game against rival Legend. Chaparral holds a 6-3 advantage in the series against Legend and has won the past two games. • The following athletes on Feb. 7 signed letters of intent, according to a report from the school: Bryce Matthews, baseball, Arkansas; Nolan Ackerman, baseball, College of San Mateo; Iain Isdale, baseball, Northern Colorado; Preston Tenney, baseball, Northeast Community College; Tyler Mulligan, golf, Oregon Institute of Technology; Jonas Graham, Colorado

ning percentage, which ranks behind Ottmann’s top record of .923 percent (170-22). All three of the wrestling icons noted there have been a few changes in the sport but not much that includes basic wrestling skills. Athletes have started wrestling at younger ages, and feeder youth programs are important to the success of high school teams. And wrestling has joined other sports in becoming a year-round activity. “The kids are getting so much better so much younger,” said Ottmann. “The youth programs are really preparing kids for high school. You pretty much have to have four or five years under your belt going into high school to have a chance. It also takes a little bit more year-round than back in the day. You really don’t feel like you can take much of a break, you go from high school to freestyle to summer camp.” Wrestlers with experience entering a program make a difference. “You have to have that interest,” said Beeson. “Coaches are only as good as the athletes who walk in the door. I know that the years I had good athletes I was a great coach. The years when I had just young kids, I was mediocre.” Rules modifications and changes

Legend • Senior Payton Lincavage scored 12 points in the girls basketball team’s 40-36 victory over Mountain Vista on Feb. 5. Freshman Kinzie Whitehead led the team with 11 points in a 31-29 triumph over Rock Canyon on Feb. 8. The team ends the regular season Feb. 15 with a game against crosstown Parker rival Chaparral. • Sufyan Elkannan had 14 points and Caleb Tamminga tossed in 10 but the boys basketball team dropped a 69-58 contest to Mountain Vista on Feb. 5. A

fourth-quarter rally fell short in a 5450 loss to Rock Canyon on Feb. 8. • CHSAANow.com reported the following athletes signed letters of intent on Feb. 6: Hank Bard, baseball, Kentucky; Justin Boyd, baseball, Oregon State; Jake Greiving, baseball, Air Force; Kian Manmano, baseball, Colorado Mesa; Cale Stubbings, baseball, Colorado Colorado Springs; Olivia Bradley, softball, Bradley; Zoey Lecompte, softball, Memphis; Payton Lincavage, softball, Rutgers; Cailey Oldemyer, softball, Washurn; Hannah Nelson, track/xc, South Dakota State; Erin Case, track/xc, CSU Pueblo; Lia Beyer, soccer, Kansas; Kassie Rembisz, soccer, Texas A&M; Corpus Christi; Logan Walters, soccer, Friends; Bella Sunahara, volleyball, New Jersey City; Colin Lavell, football, North Dakota; Trustin Oliver, football, Colorado; Caden Meis, football, Drake; Ethan Vlchek, football, Fort Lewis. Lutheran • Matt Thompson, a 6-foot-5 senior, scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in a 65-62 win for the boys basketball team over Colorado Academy on Feb. 8. • Sophomore Stephanie Schultz scored a

C T

regarding illegal holds, health and weight management is another change that has made the sport safer. Recalling those days eating lunch around wrestlers at Lincoln, I was amazed by the wrestlers either not eating much or pigging out prior to weigh-in sessions, but apparently those situations are not seen as much. And, girls wrestling could become a Colorado sanctioned sport if the pilot 2 program gains CHSAA approval in April. “The days are over when girls have to be wrestling boys,” said Ottmann. “It’s time for girls to wrestle girls.” After the weekend regionals, the wrestlers who qualify for state will be at the Pepsi Center for the all classification state tournament. “The Pepsi Center is an amazing experience,” said Barron. “It is a 10-ring circus. There is always something 2 going on as you look across the mats on the floor. To watch these phenomenal athletes no matter the class is an experience you have to see to believe. It is the funnest state meet there is to watch.” 2

Do you have a home? Thank God for it. Several people do not have one after the fire at the Windermere Apartments in Littleton. Some have found a new home but all have not. May they do so soon. A grace provision that all Christians have is a home, both present & future. Eph 2:6 tells us that “God raised us up with Christ & seated us with Him in the heavenly realms”. God sees us as now in His presence & gives us “every spiritual blessing” from there (Eph 1:3). Of course our future eternal home is heaven itself with its “many mansions” (John 14:2). When we die we are instantly “at home with the Lord” (2 Cor 5:8). It is a home that is secure, joyous, holy, beautiful and available to all. Will you be there thru faith in Jesus Christ? hfsmail@basicisp.net
