School board votes for revised voucher policy
Change removes religious facilities from Douglas County program
By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com The Douglas County School Board has passed a revised version of the school district’s
voucher program that removes religiously affiliated schools as an option. The 4-3 vote on March 15 to approve the Benevento revision to the Choice Scholarship Program comes nine months after the Colorado
Supreme Court ruled the original version of the program was illegal. No public funds can be used to aid or support any “sectarian” institution, the court ruled. The school district appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. A decision has not been made on whether the court will hear the case, but the appeal will continue, a district spokeswman said.
School board member Doug Benevento said the district now has a clear direction from the courts about what is allowable under state law and should proceed with the new program. “They made the decision that you cannot have a voucher program that includes religious schools — therefore, we won’t,” he said. Cindy Barnard — president of
the group that filed the original lawsuit against the district to stop the voucher program — said the revised policy is illegal and unconstitutional since public money would be leaving the district for private schools in violation of the Public School Finance Act. “Every dollar taken in the Board continues on Page 4

Here’s looking at you, Kid Parker boy’s dog enjoys early success at show By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com Dog owners know that when it comes to getting their furry friends to obey a command, treats can be a powerful thing. Ryan Miller, 12, of Parker, has firsthand experience in the magical influence of treats. He’s
known to carry chicken breast, raw venison and even Cheerios in his pocket for his star pupil, a 1-year-old miniature schnauzer named Kid. So powerful are these delicacies — along with Miller’s gentle coaxing — that Kid placed second out of 30 entries at the 21st annual Rocky Mountain Cluster Dog Show at the National Western Complex in February.

The last vacant corner at Parker’s busiest intersection is one step closer to being developed. Parker Town Council unanimously approved the annexation and rezoning of what’s known as the Alcorn property during a meeting at town hall March 21. The property, made up of a handful of lots on the southeast corner of South Parker Road and Lincoln Avenue, had been in unincorporated Douglas County and was previously designated for suburban residential development. The rezoning resulted in a “Modified C-Commercial” designation for the combined lots. The commercial zoning allows for such uses as shopping centers, drive-in eating and drinking establishments, bakeries and auto parts stores. The developer, Armstrong Development Co., has said it intends to construct Parker Keystone, which would include two buildings totaling between 10,000 square feet and 15,000 square feet.

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
RHONDA SIMMONS Outdoor enthusiast, humorist About me I moved to Colorado from California in 1982. I grew up in Littleton and moved to Parker about 17 years ago. When I moved to Parker there was not very much here and I liked the idea of it being so rural. It was also close to my job so that was another plus. A typical weekday I retired from my job as a civilian in law enforcement after 26 years, so I have been exploring my options of going to a new department or going into something completely new. I think I would love to work for Douglas County government, as any experience I have had with them has always been positive and professional. I spend time looking into these options and hang out with my 4-year-old purebred boxer, Jordyn. Just for fun I enjoy riding my bike and spend a lot
of time riding at Waterton Canyon. I enjoy photography and have taken some wonderful photos there of the bighorn sheep. I have even had the joy of seeing quite a few bears up there — some a little too close by accident — but I don’t try to take selfies with them like I have heard others do. I also enjoy taking Jordyn to Castlewood Canyon for hikes and taking her for walks around Mainstreet. Since Jordyn always has to be playing with two toys at once, she keeps me very busy. Time to relax Riding my bike and taking little hikes is very relaxing for me. I love being out in those surroundings, anything around water. I also enjoy reading and keeping up with my California friends on Facebook.

A long-lost friend I really wish I still had my 1968 Dodge Coronet. It was my first car and I’d love to have that back. Quirky hobbies and habits I used to collect pigs when I was younger so I think it’s interesting that I chose the field of law enforcement. I think most people that work in that field tend to have a quirky sense of humor. I was always told I would make a good standup comic, but since I am afraid of public speaking I don’t think that would work for me.

The 25 second- and third-graders circled on the rug around their teacher, Judy Racine, punch their arms excitedly into the air to answer the question she poses: “Who can tell me what our learning target is today?” Jasmine: “I can practice using different tools safely.” “So what would that look like if you’re successful?” Judy asks. Dawson: “Not cutting off your hand with a saw.”

County’s first Habitat project begins Two Castle Rock condos are undergoing renovation By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Habitat for Humanity is helping to address a need for affordable housing with its first two projects in Douglas County. “More people are starting to understand the importance of affordable housing in growing and thriving communities,” said Heather Lafferty, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver. The Habitat affiliate was founded in 1979 — the first west of the Mississippi — and has served more than 700 families in the area. But renovations begun on two condos in Castle Rock on March 16 will be the first Habitat housing project in the history of Douglas County. Former Castle Rock Town Councilmember Clark Hammelman reached out to Habitat 18 months ago after acknowledging that Douglas County was booming because of development but had a shortage of affordable housing. “One of the key elements to the success of a town on the economic side is having a 1wide range of workers, and we need to have

The affiliate is also in need of donations to fund current and future projects. “Longer term, we would love to talk to anyone who has land in Douglas County who would like to partner with us,” said Heather Lafferty, CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver. Those willing to donate should visit habitatmetrodenver.org. housing for those people,” Hammelman said while taking a break from uninstalling a kitchen sink at the renovation site March 16. “(Habitat) seemed to make sense from an economic-development perspective as well as a good thing to do for those people who want to be a part of our community but can’t afford the housing here.” A pair of two-bedroom condos on Gilbert Way in Castle Rock are undergoing renovations, including installation of new Habitat continues on Page 9

private school voucher program is a dollar taken away from our public schools,” said Barnard, head of Taxpayers for Public Education, a nonprofit, Colorado-based group that advocates for “a strong public education system.” Before it was halted, the original voucher program, designed to accommodate 500 students, allowed students’ parents to use state-provided, per-pupil money toward tuition at private schools, including
Council Continued from Page 1
Residents living in the Parker Heights subdivision, on the southern boundary of the proposed development, have raised concerns about the potential negative impacts of having commercial buildings next door to them. Pat Williams, who lives on Alcorn Street and whose backyard faces a traffic signal leading into a commercial development on the northeast corner of South Parker Road and Lincoln Avenue, is particularly worried about an access road that is proposed on a narrow strip of land between her yard and Lincoln Avenue. The construction of

Aside from treats, however, Kid seems to genuinely enjoy the spotlight. The judges took notice when he presented a noble “stack” — a stance with precise angulation — in the ring, and they admired his stately gait. Plus, the miniature schnauzer avoided breaking one of the cardinal rules: no barking. Miller and Kid started out by attending confirmation classes for show training in
religiously affiliated institutions. On March 10, Benevento told Chalkbeat — an education-news website — the district would amend the program again and open it back up to religious schools if the U.S. Supreme Court were to rule in the district’s favor. The voucher dispute dates to 2011, when the program was given the green light by the school board, and then Taxpayers for Public Education filed a lawsuit against the district to stop it. A Denver judge halted the program that same year, but in 2013, a state appeals court reversed that decision. Another reversal came with the ruling from the state’s top court in 2015. Board members David Ray, Anne-Marie
Lemieux and Wendy Vogel — who were elected in November and have opposed many of the district’s reform polices adopted in recent years — voted against the revision. The four board members who voted for it each have supported the reforms. “This voucher isn’t based on financial need or special needs — this voucher will go to anybody,” Lemieux said. “So basically you are saying you want to give public school money to a family that quite possibly could be making $1 million a year so they can get a discount basically on their private school education.” Ray said he was concerned how vouchers would affect district charter schools. He said families may decide to leave charters
to take advantage of the voucher at a private school. “To me, it does not expand choice because I have yet to hear what it is our kids aren’t getting, because our district is incredible with choice right now,” Ray said. Vogel said she was concerned relaunching the voucher program could lead to more legal challenges. “We are going to be opening ourselves up again to yet another lawsuit if we put this forward,” Vogel said. School district legal counsel Rob Ross said he believed the previous court ruling had outlined what is acceptable under state law and that the revised policy would stand up to legal challenge.
the road will require the removal of trees that were planted to provide a buffer and mitigate impacts, including light and noise, from the existing commercial property to the north. Williams said the road would result in an “intrusion” on her residential community and said she is concerned about a decrease in home values. Greg Armstrong, owner of Armstrong Development Co., said “our goal is to relocate those mature trees to the extent possible,” moving them closer to the neighborhood’s fences. Armstrong also addressed a concern from homeowner Michael Barnell, who said it has been suggested that the development of commercial buildings on the fourth and final corner is inevitable. The existence of commercial development on the other three corners at South Parker Road and Lin-
coln Avenue “doesn’t necessarily mean this corner has to be” built out, Barnell said. Barnell and Williams were the only residents to speak against the project at the March 21 meeting, although about a dozen homeowners from Parker Heights attended. Some also met with Armstrong during a community outreach meeting in December. A site plan is still being created and the specific uses have not been disclosed; however, there are two drive-through lanes in the conceptual renderings of Parker Keystone. One of the lanes follows the property line between the commercial and residential lots. Armstrong said he plans to build a 6- to 8-foot wall to reduce impacts and install a landscaped buffer. Town planner Patrick Mulready acknowledged “issues of potential conflict” between residential and commercial
components during his presentation to town council, but said the Parker Keystone proposal “meets, or can meet” the nine criteria required for rezoning. Mulready recommended approval of the annexation and rezoning. Mayor Mike Waid pointed out to residents at the March 21 meeting that there would be other public hearings in which they could comment on the proposal. Armstrong Development Co., has built “small niche, class-A commercial retail space” in Castle Rock, Centennial and Lakewood. Armstrong said “we don’t build and leave” and said his company’s goal is to own real estate assets for the long term and “become committed to the communities in which we do development.” For more information about the Alcorn property proposal and future meetings, go to www.parkeronline.org.
Littleton. The partners would attend multiple times per week. “First, you have to get them used to being up on the tables,” Miller said. Most schoolkids wouldn’t have the opportunity to put so much work into what many consider to be a weekend hobby. But Miller is able to attend confirmation classes and four-day shows because he’s a student at Colorado Connections Academy, an online school that affords some flexibility. The sixth-grader has, for example, worked ahead in social studies, health and art, enabling him to dedicate more time to a worthwhile passion he can share with his family.
Miller attended traditional school through fourth grade, but was getting left behind. “He had, like, 30 kids in his kindergarten and first-grade class, which when you’re first setting that foundation for learning, that’s just too many kids,” said his mom, Machelle. Later, when he transferred to a school with smaller class sizes, Miller wanted to move forward and conduct research, but was held back because the rest of the class wasn’t moving fast enough. Now, he has the ability to more forward at his own pace, and has even put in the time and effort to become a second-degree
black belt in taekwondo on the side. He also teaches the martial art to younger kids two nights per week and gains much-needed socialization from the activity. Taking Kid to dog shows has become just as important and has given Miller a purposeful responsibility. His early success has provided further motivation. His first dog show was in September and the secondplace finish is impressive by all standards. Miller loves miniature schnauzers, but has taken more interest in Havanese Pomeranians and Japanese Chins. His ultimate goal is to enter a dog in the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.

Republicans pick candidates at assembly Wasden, Thomas both make ballot in county commissioner race
Douglas County Republicans gather at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch for the county assembly on March 19. Photo by Alex DeWind
By Alex DeWind adewind@colorado communitymedia.com The Douglas County Republican Assembly drew hundreds to Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch for speakers, discussion and voting. Candidates were chosen for several county and state Legislature races at the March 19 assembly. Those who received more than 30 percent of the vote at the assembly will appear on the June 28 primary ballot, with the goal of moving on to the general Wasden election in November. Candidates may also try to petition on to the primary ballot by April 4. In one of the most competitive races, District 3 county commissioner, Monica Wasden and Lora Thomas both made the Thomas Republican primary ballot. Wasden, a businesswoman, received 66.5 percent of the votes and Thomas, the former county coroner, received 33.5 percent. The district includes Highlands Ranch and some nearby unincorporated portions of the county.
Among those endorsing Wasden were Jill Repella, the current District 3 commissioner who is term limited, and state Sen. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. Wasden said she plans to continue Repella’s dedication to economic development. “I want Douglas County to be an example that the nation wants to follow,” she said. Thomas said she neither sought nor accepted endorsements. She compared the county to her beloved young granddaughter. “Sometimes I wish it (Douglas County)
would never change,” she said. “But it is going to grow.” In a race that featured five Republican contenders, state Senate District 4, two candidates were given the nod to appear on the primary ballot, but neither of them was Douglas County School Board President Meghann Silverthorn. Jess Loban (43 percent of the delegates) and Benjamin Lyng (35 percent), both military veterans, emerged as the winners in the field that included Silverthorn (22 percent). The district — which has been represented by term-limited Mark Scheffel, R-
Parker, for the past eight years — includes Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Parker, Franktown and Larkspur. The following candidates also were chosen to appear on the primary ballot: • County commissioner, District 2 (Castle Rock, Castle Pines, nearby areas): Roger Partridge, incumbent • State House District 43 (Highlands Ranch): Kevin Van Winkle, incumbent • State House District 44 (Parker, Lone Tree): Kim Ransom, incumbent • State House District 45 (Castle Rock, Castle Pines, nearby areas): Patrick Neville, incumbent

NEWS IN A HURRY .38 Special to play Parker Days The Parker Area Chamber of Commerce will bring .38 Special to the opening night of the 2016 Parker Days Festival. The band .38 Special was formed by neighborhood friends Don Barnes and Donnie VanZant in 1975 has been rocking venues across the country with hits like “Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up in You.” “So many of their songs continue to be played on radio stations year-round, we know that the crowd will be singing and dancing to the music presented by these wonderful musicians,” said Dennis Houston, Parker Area Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. Opening for .38 Special is Face, a nationally recognized vocal rock band based out of Boulder that brings a new edge and attitude to the human voice. Using just five singers and a vocal drummer, Face creates a rock-music phenomenon that the audience must see to believe. The band, which played last year’s Parker Days festival, was featured on the NBC show “The Sing Off.” Easter egg hunt on for March 26 The annual egg hunt at O’Brien Park, sponsored by Parker-area churches, is scheduled for March 26, the day before Easter. The free hunt allows kids to gather candy-filled plastic eggs and prizes from 9:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at O’Brien Park, 10795 Victorian Drive, on the northeast corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet.

prosper,” said County Commissioner Jill Repella. “Our business-friendly attitude as well as our significant investment in transportation, public safety and other foundational infrastructure has had much to do with this success.” Douglas’ January unemployment figures are the lowest in the 10-county Metropolitan Statistical Area. Douglas is trailed most closely by Broomfield (2.7 percent), Jefferson (2.8), Arapahoe (3.0) and Denver (3.1). Nominate an outstanding youth Do you know a Douglas County special teenager between the ages of 13 and 19 who has overcome adversity and created positive change in their lives and the lives of others? Nominations for the 2016 Douglas County Outstanding Youth Awards are now being accepted. Ten award recipients will share their special night with family members, adult supporters and elected officials at an April reception hosted by the Douglas County Youth Initiative in Castle Rock. “The young people who are recognized with these awards are people who very often have not received public recognition for their personal achievements,” said Douglas County Commissioner David Weaver. The award encompasses all youth, including teens who have not finished their K-12 education, as well as those in traditional classroom settings, group homes, alternative schools and foster homes. The award “calls attention to the untold stories of achievement by our community’s youth,” Weaver said. Nominators will be invited to speak at the ceremony about the obstacles the individual they nominated overcame and how those individuals have inspired change. For more information on the Douglas County Outstanding Youth Awards, contact Marsha Alston at malston@douglas. co.us or 303-688-4825. Nomination forms may be filled out online or downloaded from the website and must be filled out no later than March 31.
Of the 343 delegates who voted in the March 19 preference poll, 178 voted for Hillary Clinton and 165 for Bernie Sanders for president, according to the website. That result represents a swing from the March 1 state caucus, in which Sand-
ers emerged with nearly 60 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 40 percent among participating registered Democrats. The results of the delegate elections will be published later this week, said Douglas County Democratic Party Chairman Mike Jones.

Area doctors address public concerns over the Zika virus Mosquitoes in Colorado are unable to carry, transmit virus By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Medical professionals throughout the Denver metro area are fielding an increasing number of questions from those concerned about the spread of the Zika virus. The virus, which the World Health Organization says originated in West Africa, spread to dozens of countries in South America and Central America before making its way to the United States. The 2015-16 timeframe marked the highest number of confirmed cases in the U.S. to date, with 258 travel-associated cases as of March 16, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eighteen of them involved pregnant women. The Zika virus is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, an insect that thrives in warm climates, said Bernadette Albanese, medical epidemiologist at the Tri-County Health Department, which serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The Aedes aegypti mosquito does not live in Colorado, but can be found in states like Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona and California. Health professionals are warning that Zika can also be sexually transmitted,
The Zika virus can be transmitted by mosquitoes, but the mosquitoes in Colorado are unable to transmit the virus. Shutterstock image generating concern among those who are pregnant or could become pregnant, as well as their male partners. Albanese said Tri-County Health is deferring to protocols established by the CDC. The health department has received phone calls in recent months from medical professionals — especially obstetricians — who want to be sure they are passing the correct information to their patients, she said. Some believe that the Zika virus is to blame for the rapid increase in cases of microcephaly, a rare condition in which infants are born with smaller heads and neurological impairments, according to the Mayo Clinic. Brazil, in particular, has experienced a surge in the number
of microcephaly cases. However, the correlation between Zika and microcephaly is “still being evaluated,” said Albanese, who noted that doctors are urging an abundance of caution for would-be mothers and their partners just in case. Although the level of concern is not as elevated in Colorado as in southern states, there have been two confirmed travelassociated Zika cases among Colorado residents. There are nevertheless secondary impacts to Colorado residents from the virus, including the cancellation of vacations to areas affected by Zika. Parker resident Cori Miracle, who became a first-time mother last year, says she and her husband decided to forgo separate trips in March and April to Puerto Rico and Cancun, respectively, after consulting with four separate doctors and hearing different recommendations from each. “It’s the unknown,” she said. “It’s just not worth it and it’s better to be safe than sorry.” The couple had to provide an obstetrician’s note to their travel agent before receiving a full refund for their Puerto Rico trip. The Miracles are still waiting to hear whether they will get a full refund for their canceled trip to Mexico.
Symptoms and precautions Dr. Sandhya Ayyar, the medical director of infection control for Parker Adventist Hospital and Castle Rock Adventist Hospital, said couples of child-bearing age should avoid getting pregnant for 12 weeks after traveling to affected areas. Roughly 80 percent of the time, patients are asymptomatic, she said. Ayyar is among the medical professionals who recommend avoiding travel to Zikaaffected countries unless it’s absolutely necessary. “For women considering getting pregnant, I would say definitely postpone,” Ayyar said. Those who have traveled to affected areas and live in states where the Aedes aegypti mosquito is present should educate themselves and avoid sexual contact and mosquito bites for several weeks after returning from their trip. That includes both women and men because doctors are still uncertain how long the virus can live in semen. Mosquitoes in Colorado are unable to transmit the virus, even if they bite those who have Zika, Ayyar and Albanese say. The virus typically stays in a woman’s system for one week. The Aedes aegypti mosquito has the ability to carry and transmit dengue and the chikungunya virus, the CDC says. The 20 percent of Zika patients who do exhibit symptoms have reported fever, rashes, joint pain and conjunctivitis. Doctors recommend using Tylenol and avoiding aspirin and ibuprofen. States that anticipate the potential spread of Zika through Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are taking measures to control mosquito populations and eliminate pools of water where the mosquitoes lay their larvae. They also are educating the public on ways to prevent the spread of the virus. “The way they’re gearing up in those southern regions is going to be different,” Ayyar said. “(Colorado residents) should worry more about West Nile.” For more information, go to www.cdc. gov/zika.

Suspect pleads not guilty in death of state trooper
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com The man suspected of driving drunk and killing a state trooper in November pleaded not guilty March 21 in a Douglas County courtroom to charges of vehicular homicide and DUI. Eric Peter Henderson, a 52-yearold retired Army colonel from Peyton, a small town near Colorado
Springs, is charged in connection with the death of Colorado State Trooper Jaimie Jursevics. Despite the defense attorney’s request for a continuance, a five-day trial has been scheduled to begin July 25. Henderson is next scheduled to appear in court June 30. “For the victim’s family, we want to get this case moving forward,” said Deputy District Attorney Christopher Opfer.

Henderson was apprehended on Spruce Mountain Road and taken into custody by the Palmer Lake Police Department on Nov. 15 on suspicion of committing a hit and run on I-25 in Castle Rock. Jursevics, 33, was parked on the right shoulder of I-25 near mile marker 175 in Castle Rock investigating a crash. While outside her vehicle, she was hit and suffered fatal injuries.

appliances, flooring, paint, cabinets, countertops and sinks. The project is expected to be complete at the end of April. Habitat has historically focused on acquiring land to buy and build new single-family homes, but with real estate prices surging, Lafferty said Habitat has been looking for new solutions to bring affordable housing to Douglas County. “As the market has gotten more and more challenging to find affordable land, we have expanded how we service families by acquiring existing homes, doing renovations and then selling them to low-income families,” Lafferty said. No other projects are presently scheduled for Douglas County, but Lafferty said Habitat is looking for future opportunities. New Hope Presbyterian Church in Castle Rock jumped at the chance

for its volunteers to work on a building project close to home. The church has been partnering with the Denverbased Habitat group for a number of years to work on projects throughout the metro area. “We’ve talked about trying to get this kind of housing, these kinds of projects in the Castle Rock area because we know there’s a need for that down here,” said Castle Rock resident Glenn Greene, who has been volunteering with Habitat for more than 10 years. Greene said that with the development of the Promenade at Castle Rock
— a 166-acre project under construction that will feature retail, dining and more — there will “be people who work here and would love to live down here, but can’t afford it.” The retired engineer got involved with Habitat because he was looking for a way to give back to the community. He said it’s just one of those things he keeps coming back to. “It’s a blast,” he said. “It’s really good to do this kind of work and know that you’re helping people that really need help and that you’re giving them that foot up so they can really progress forward in life.”

Don’t let madness lead to sadness Who are you voting for? That is the question that we are all being asked. The other question is: “What are you voting for?” Now here is my question for you: “How have you been responding?” As you all know, this is not a politically motivated column; its intent is to share a positive and encouraging message of some kind each week. And consistent with my weekly theme, I will attempt to shed a positive and encouraging point of view in contrast to the “Yikes” response that most people have been giving when responding to the question about who and what they are voting for. In my line of work I travel quite a bit domestically and also engage with many international associates and clients. It is one thing to engage in a conversation with folks right here in the United States about the candidates and potential outcomes, but it is even more interesting to have a discussion with people outside of the United States and their view and line of questioning when it comes to the perceived lunacy of what is taking place with our presidential election. The fact is, we will never all agree on the same party, nor will we ever endorse the same candidate, and most likely we will be unable to come to an agreement on the issues that are being debated and challenged by both sides. But here is where we can get our head around the chaos and start thinking about the reality of the situation in a positive
and encouraging way. You see, it’s not just the candidates and the campaigns that are misaligned, it is the system that is broken. And that is the good news. Good news? Yes, good news. It is good news because the United Michael Norton States will still be the greatest nation on WINNING earth. The president WORDS is really just the voice and face of our nation, and whoever is in office will surround himself or herself with smart advisers who should and will help guide the country, continue to defend our shores and borders, and help us maintain our prominence in the world while adhering to our benevolent nature in support of our allies and all people around the globe. Some of you will point to the candidate’s position on taxation, others will focus on immigration, our economy, education, health care, our military and hundreds of other issues. And you are all welcome to your opinion and position. And while we stay focused on these issues and the advisers and Cabinet members actually develop the plans and execute the strategy, the president of the United States will meet world leaders, give
well-written speeches, and be seen as the voice and face of our nation. Do some have a better presence than others? Are a few of the candidates a little more “presidential?” Sure, the answer is yes to both of those questions. So for me, my positive outlook and encouragement to go about my day-to-day life is focused on what the people behind the scenes will be doing, not so much on the man or woman voted in as the new POTUS. Technically, of course, he or she will be the commander-in-chief, and will work tireless hours, but in our day and age nothing is ever solely decided by the president. Television and movies help us buy into the concept that the president does actually make those big decisions in dramatic fashion, but the reality is that every decision made is a decision by committee, not one person. Maybe this will strike a nerve with you, maybe you agree with me in this “Yikes” of an election year, and maybe you will completely disagree with me. But it is the system that is broken, not the people. It’s the system that is broken, not you and not me. And I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, because when we realize that we will still be the greatest nation on earth regardless of who wins, it really will be a better than good week.

We need a detailed plan to put an end to the uncertainties that could delay a mission to Mars. NASA and American space companies must focus their engineering and scientific expertise on the great task before them. Americans will feel a renewed sense of pride and curiosity about their space program. And they will be able to celebrate another historic first as we plant the American flag on Mars.

QUIET DESPERATION
Singles were always a dollar. I could afford a dollar. My allowance was 50 cents a week. Albums were more like $4. I rarely bought albums. I just couldn’t afford them. I would rather not tell you about the first single I ever bought. It was a hit, but it was a one-hit wonder, and now I think it’s somewhat humiliating. I think you would immediately move on to another columnist. It could have been Buddy Holly and the Crickets, but it wasn’t. It could have been the Everly Brothers, but it wasn’t. It wasn’t “Old Rivers” by Walter Brennan. It wasn’t that bad. But my first album was and is a gem. At the time a performer or a group generally didn’t
record an album until they had two hits. One would go on side one, and the other one would go on side two. Typically the rest of the songs were junk. Not always. A Buddy Holly and the Crickets album could have four or five hits on it. The same goes for the Everly Brothers. If a performer or a group had a few years of success, out would come a greatest hits album. The first album I ever owned was “Johnny Horton’s Greatest Hits.” Horton had a monster in 1959. It was Billboard’s number one song that year. “The Battle of New Orleans.” Smith continues on Page 11

Jasmine: “Not throwing tools around.” Simon: “Don’t get so panicked you accidentally throw it.” • • • The project, this time, is simple machines. The books on the shelves, the vocabulary words on the walls, the geometry placards on the windows and the questions tacked around the classroom all come back to simple machines. The end product — the meaningful outcome of about six weeks of study — is a wooden pinball machine built by students in groups of three, which will be demonstrated to family and friends in a formal presentation and then given to several charity organizations. Judy Racine, just months away from her last day of teaching after 40 years in the classroom, always thinks about the end result to her lessons. “I really have to make sure everything I do is meaningful and has purpose with the kids . . . so they see the purpose behind what they’re doing,” she says. “Learning has to be meaningful, purposeful and authentic.” In the case of simple machines, that means students are “understanding how force in motion is either a push or pull. . . . They may not see it at that moment. But we bring in the language all the time, keep the end product always in mind.” She knows she’s done a good job when curiosity spurs students to ask questions — probing questions. Or when parents tell her how their children couldn’t stop talking at the dinner table about what they’d done in class that day. “They’re transferring what they’re doing in the classroom to a bigger world,” Judy says. Judy, who turns 65 on April 1, has taught for the past 20 years at the Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning in South Denver. Supported by five school districts — Aurora, Cherry Creek, Denver, Douglas County and Littleton — and the nonprofit Public Education and Business Coalition, the school incorporates principles of Outward Bound into its curriculum. It’s built around multidisciplinary learning expeditions that take students at least once a week on in-depth field trips and culminate in projects that pull all the learning together. Those expeditions into the real world, and the project that is shared with the community — allowing them to be “experts” in that particular area — are key ingredients in a recipe for successful learning, Judy says. “Learning has to be active as well as challenging,” she says. “Students have

It’s inconceivable that it would be a Top 40 hit these days, but in 1959 it was all over the place. Then came “Sink the Bismarck” and “North to Alaska.” Those three songs were why I bought the album. I never listen to them now. But there are two songs on the album that I still listen to, on an iTunes playlist. Horton was only 35 when he died in an auto accident caused by a drunk driver. Not long before his death, Horton, who was a rockabilly and country music star, called Johnny Cash to chat, but Cash refused the call. It was something that Cash regretted for the rest of his life. Cash dedicated one of the songs I am going to tell you about to Horton on his “Personal File” album. Horton’s hits were almost novelty records, and don’t really stand up today. “North to Alaska” was used in a film with the same name. It starred John Wayne. It also featured a teen idol named Fabian, who couldn’t sing and he couldn’t act, but he was cute. That album sure was lonely.
to be pushed out of their comfort zone. And when they know that they’re learning is public — that they have an audience . . . ,” the motivation to learn steps up a notch. Jos can’t wait for exhibition night to show off the pinball machine her group will have built. “We learn how to build simple machines,” she says, as she searches for an explanation of the word axle in a book, then writes her own definition in her dictionary. “The world,” her partner Lucy notes, “is made up of simple machines.” “We are,” Jos adds matter-of-factly, “kind of simple machines.” • • • “Fridays for Judy” started at the beginning of the school year: Tickets to see one of her favorite bands and “The Nutcracker” ballet. A bottle of wine. Flowers. Gift cards for coffee, to restaurants, to the movies. Dinners to bring home. Letters of gratitude. A teacher who worked with Judy but is now at another school suggested the idea as a way for the community to celebrate Judy all year long. The gifts arrive just about every week. “In August, we sent out emails to all families and staff and made an online signup . . . so people could choose how to thank Judy in their own style,” parent Jennifer Eure said. Eure’s son, Gavin, is in Judy’s class now. Her older son also had her as a teacher. She is grateful, Eure says, for that good fortune. “Judy has inspired both of my children to enjoy reading, to ask questions and think more deeply,” she says. “She creates a structured and joyful classroom environment where all of her students feel safe to be themselves, to push themselves and take risks in their learning.” Amy Weisbrot, a learning specialist who has worked with Judy for five years, believes her most important quality as a teacher is her ability to let kids be kids. “She is so passionate about the importance of play in the classroom and letting kids learn through their own self discovery,” Weisbrot said. “She helped me realize how important it is to let kids have time to create, to be creative and really dream big . . . and then to believe in their big dreams.” The education world today sometimes forgets that big dream, Judy says — the recognition that learning shouldn’t be dissected into isolated pieces of standards that should be taught here and objectives that should be met there. Those are important and necessary components to guiding the teaching experience. But in the intense push for performance and evaluative metrics, she
My allowance increased and I was able to begin to build a collection. The collection grew and was alphabetized, until my basement flooded in 2003, and most of it was damaged. It’s hard for me to imagine anyone being sentimental about the hip-hop rubbish that’s prevalent now — in another 40 years. The two songs that I listen to with fondness are “Whispering Pines” and “When It’s Springtime in Alaska.” Horton’s clear, rich voice stands out in both of them. They both tell stories, but not as mundanely as “Battle of New Orleans.” There’s a new station in town that beats KBCO. It’s Open Air at 102.3. Most of the time they play eclectic new music. The playlists are wonderful. It’s a leg of Colorado Public Radio, so there are no commercials. Now and then they play something that is totally unexpected. A song from the past, that wasn’t a big hit, but was nevertheless great. Like “Whispering Pines,” which I heard one night. And went back to junior high with a smile.

tions and exclaim in surprise. A current of purpose and curiosity pulses through the room. “This is really cool,” says Ainsley, a blue cap on her head, as she tries out the pinball machine, a larger version of what she is working on. “I like that we’re going to be building our own. Playing with them is pretty awesome.” Across the room, Judy helps Ryder steady the power drill, then blows away the shavings on the board. “Wow,” she says, rubbing her fingers across the hole, “that’s great.” Over on a rug, Jos is working on her dictionary. She is talking about why she likes her class. “I love Judy,” she says. “I wish she wouldn’t retire. She finds out how to have fun while learning.” Jos pauses. Then: “We are kids.” And, as Judy would say, that’s the most essential ingredient to remember.
Groups of students huddle around the various tables, focused on the task before them. Every 10 minutes they switch to a new station. They hammer nails and turn screws and saw notches into boards. They measure and ask ques-

says, the big picture, the “wholeness” of a child is often overshadowed. Take, for instance, reading. The guiding goal, Judy says, should simply be: “Children should become strong learners who love to read and adore books for a lifetime.” Good teaching is instinctive, too. “You have to know when to turn off the lights and put everything away and have a dance party,” Judy says — “or know when to push it.” Ah, the dance parties. During snack time after recess, it’s not uncommon to walk into Judy’s room and find kids taking turns at deejay and Judy in the middle of the pack, dancing to Bob Marley, String Cheese Incident or the Beatles, which many of her students have come to love. “It’s my favorite time to walk into Judy’s room,” Weisbrot says, “so I can join in on the boogie.”

What about the bunny? By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com For many children in the United States and around the world, Easter is a time for the great white bunny, fancy baskets, and lots of candy and goodies. According to the History Channel website, www.history.com, the origins of a rabbit bringing goodies are vague, but throughout history, the rabbit has been the symbol of fertility and life, and the egg is a symbol of new life associated with spring festivals. Churches and communities hold egg hunts for children, providing the opportunity to scoop up colored eggs, candy and goodies. One of the biggest events in the nation is the annual egg roll at the White House in Washington, D.C. This year’s event will be March 28, and 35,000 are expected to attend. Easter baskets, dye for real eggs, plastic eggs and tons of candy are purchased every year. According to the History Channel, more candy is sold at Easter than for any other holiday except Halloween. Here are some numbers from the website Infoplease.com: • $2.3 billion was spent on Easter candy in 2014. • 90 million chocolate bunnies are sold in a typical year. • 700 million marshmallow Peeps are sold in a typical year. • Just over three-fourths of Americans are in favor of eating the ears of a chocolate bunny first, according to a poll by the Statistical Brain Research Institute.

We all have mountains to climb Taking the long way home
As the last bits of sunlight began to fade behind the foothills on a recent day and my trail friends headed back to their vehicles at the Red Rocks trailhead, I looked at my phone and saw I had nearly two hours left before I needed to pick up our kid from her grandpa’s house in Louisville. So, I dropped off my camera and grabbed my headlamp. After an hourlong trail run that included a semi-technical, 500-foot-plus climb — a run that served as a photo shoot for some of the pictures accompanying the page 12 Life story on trail running — I decided to do the full, 4-mile loop one more time. Now, just what makes a person want to go running in the dark through one of the more technical, ankle-twisting trails along the West Metro Front Range? The “why” of running is one of those spring-loaded questions often asked — not just of runners — but of anyone participating in an endurance sport or activity that carries with it a certain element of danger or risk. Even beyond that, `why?’ is the backdrop for every existential and philosophical debate since the dawn of mankind. And, honestly, the why of it all is something I think of often, and in many regards. This column, a broad project about running and inspiration and how it pertains to life, is something I’ve been considering for the better part of four
years, beginning right after my daughter, Cecilia, was born in June 2012. But I kept coming back to the same question: Why? What’s the purpose? And who will read it? With those Jeremy Johnson questions still looming, a few DADDY ago, I ON THE RUN weeks committed to the Tales from column with my Front Range Trails editor and set a deadline. Days passed, and then a week, and still I continued to procrastinate. Then, late last week, we had a company meeting where we were honored to hear keynote speaker Alan Arnette talk about mountain climbing in the wake of losing his mother to Alzheimer’s disease. Alan’s message was rife with metaphors. Sure, he was talking about an actual mountain, and Mount Everest, the biggest one in the world at that. But the real message was about the mountains we all face. Writing a column every other week shouldn’t be that big of a challenge, compared to the bigger challenge of trail running and the journey that started, for me, in 2011, with a few jaunts through
Easter
Wheat Ridge resident Anna Torres. “It is such a wonderful, inspirational service. Singing and praying as the sun rises reminds us of what Easter and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus means.” The event is sponsored and organized by the Colorado Council of Churches. There are 22 churches joining forces for this year’s event, including Arvada United Methodist Church, First Presbyterian Church of Englewood and St. Luke United Methodist Church of Highlands Ranch. This marks the 69th year for the Red Rocks event. Last year, the sunrise ser-

year’s services as we try to connect people to God in ways they have never experienced before.” One of the largest Easter services is the sunrise service held at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison. “I have attended the sunrise services at Red Rocks the last two years,” said

Pennsylvania’s famous oil region and culminated with not one but two 50-kilometer races through those same rolling hills lined with abandoned oil derricks and dilapidated, rusted well heads. All the same, the idea became a mountain, and I struggled to find the means to summit. In other words, I was still searching for a purpose. Thanks to Alan, I think I finally found it. Now, I won’t say my purpose for this ongoing column is nearly as noble as Alan’s quest to end Alzheimer’s through massive fundraising and awareness. But I do share the common goal of wanting to create lasting memories for myself, for my family and, maybe for you, the reader who’s looking for some inspiration to make change happen in his or her life. I’m no expert trail runner or fitness guru. I’m just a guy who had some decent potential as a runner through high school but fell victim in my 20s and even my 30s to a physically abusive lifestyle that included, at different times, too much drinking, smoking and other unsavory behavior. Family, work and trail running saved my life, and so, for that reason, I want to share my story with you. Because we all have our mountains to climb, even though the actual climb might look different for each of us. Perhaps instead of running, your passion is art, music, mountain biking, yoga, tai chi or dance. It doesn’t really matter.
What matters is that many of us see the mountain as too tall to climb. I’m hoping this column will provide the inspiration to start the trek. If I can do it, if I can run miles and miles and miles on these 41-year-old legs, if I can overcome the obstacles of the impetuousness of youth in favor of finding peace and tranquility in family and friends and trails, so can anyone. This column, while narrowly focusing on aspects of trail running like training, equipment and trail reviews, will aim to have a broader scope about how to achieve goals and chase dreams while balancing life, work and family. Reach out with any questions, comments or thoughts about trail life — or life in general. Or send your own story to jjohnson@coloradocommunitymedia. com, because I want us to go through this adventure together. So, will you run along with me?

Not all Christian churches celebrate Easter this year on March 27. Orthodox congregations like those who attend St. Herman Orthodox Church at 991 W. Prentice Ave., Littleton, will celebrate Easter on May 1. “The Orthodox Church adopted a modified calendar, which includes our way to set the date for Lent, Holy Week
and Easter,” Father John Armstrong of St. Herman explained. Armstrong said the services Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Holy Week are focused on marking the death and resurrection of Jesus. There is a Good Friday service with the church draped in dark colors and the doors to the altar closed. On Saturday at midnight, the congregation gathers to celebrate the resurrection. The nighttime service includes marching three times around the church and, when the worship is over, moving to the fellowship hall for a feast.

5 Unique Ways TO ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE EASTER CANDY The best parts of holiday celebrations are the special traditions that form lasting memories. Make Easter the most egg-cellent holiday by inspiring new traditions and creative activities, crafts and recipes for your family to enjoy for years to come. Sweet Egg Decorating Many people celebrate the Easter holiday with brightly decorated hard-boiled eggs, but why not decorate chocolate eggs, too, for a sweet twist on a traditional favorite holiday craft. You
1
can use frosting and additional candy to decorate chocolate eggs, such as Cadbury Crème Egg Candy, in similar fashion to traditional eggs. Candy Dish Treats Think candy is only reserved for Easter baskets? Try filling a glass vase with your favorite colorful candies to create a colorful, delicious candy dish the whole family can enjoy. Place faux flowers in the candy-filled vase and tie a bow of festive ribbon around it to create a simple, sweet arrangement.
2
Share with the Easter Bunny Santa isn’t the only one who likes sweets; this year, leave candies out for the Easter Bunny, too. Share this “hoppy” new tradition with family and friends using #HersheysEaster and make it part of your annual Easter Eve ritual.
3
Easter Egg Hunt Prep Step up your Easter egg hunt game by setting up prep stations with everything your family will need. Equip them with decorative baskets to put their
4
eggs in, leave clues of where the eggs are hidden on festive note cards and get them started with a sweet treat, such as their favorite candy, to kick it off. Cooking with Candy An Easter basket isn’t the only way you can enjoy sweets. Get creative in the kitchen and find new ways to enjoy your favorite candies, such as this recipe that combines ice cream, cookies and Cadbury Crème Egg Candy for a one-of-a-kind dessert.
5
Candy Egg Ice Cream Sandwiches 2 cups vanilla ice cream 3 Cadbury Crème Egg Candy 8 large sugar cookies 1/4 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs Candy
Serves 4
Set ice cream on counter for 15-20 minutes, or until it begins to thaw and is easy to scoop. Unwrap and chop egg candy into small pieces. Pour candy pieces (including gooey center off knife and cutting board) into medium mixing bowl. Scoop ice cream into bowl with chopped candy. Using plastic spatula, stir candy and ice cream until well combined. Pour ice cream mixture into rectangular or square 2-quart dish and spread into even layer, making sure candy is evenly distributed. Cover with plastic wrap and place dish in freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until ice cream has set again. In food processor, pulse mini egg candies until finely chopped. Remove ice cream from freezer. Place chopped mini candies in shallow bowl wide enough to fit a cookie. Place 4 cookies bottom up on plate. Top each cookie with scoop of ice cream then top ice cream with another cookie (bottom facing ice cream). Press down on sandwich until ice cream reaches cookie edge. Immediately roll ice cream edges of sandwich in chopped mini candies, turning sandwich until all edges are coated. Place sandwich on a dish and return to freezer. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve.

He has long since mastered the techniques for reading water and light, has been a contributing photographer for National Geographic magazine and is among the world’s best-known underwater photographers. In 50 years, he has ranged across the world, from interior Africa to tropical coral reefs, rich temperate seas and in recent years northern and southern ice realms. Doubilet and his underwater partner Jennifer Hayes, an aquatic biologist who is also his wife, will bring a program called “Coral Kingdoms and Empires of Ice” to Lone Tree Arts Center’s Main Stage at 8 p.m. on April 8. Hayes specializes in natural history and marine environments and is an authority on conservation of primitive fishes. She is a member of the Explorers Club (a note for those who saw the recent play by that name at Lone Tree — about the club’s first woman member.)
Underwater photographer David Doubilet and his wife/partner, aquatic biologist Jennifer Hayes, will speak about “Coral Kingdoms and Empires of Ice” in a National Geographic Live program on April 8 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Courtesy photo The two collaborate on photography, story production, feature articles and books. He has published nearly 70 stories in National Geographic over the years and a number of books. The most recent volume focused on waters around Cuba. Recent assignments, to be introduced in the program, include coral-rich Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea, a corner of the
coral triangle that includes the Philippines and Indonesia, where they found pygmy seahorses and 60-foot-tall towers of barracudas … and much more. Travels next took them south and under the Antarctic ice where they found penguins, seals and shipwrecks. And finally they headed north to Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence to find whales,
S1
wolfish, salmon and the harp seal, which is fighting to survive in a sea of shrinking ice. Born in 1946, Doubilet discovered the magic of seeing light under water while at a summer camp (a counselor suggested he go stick his head underwater when he resisted the usual camp activities and games) — and never looked back. He graduated from Boston University and is the winner of many awards and a member of the Royal Photographic Society. Doubilet makes his home in Clayton, New York, a small town near the St. Lawrence River, with a second home in Dekolder, South Africa.

No time for second guessing
“
Second serve is often the difference between winning and losing in tennis
There’s definitely more pressure. Serving is kind of a way to take control of the points, and when the first serve doesn’t go your way, the second serve is your last line of defense.”
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Pete Sampras, the former world No. 1 tennis player, was revered for his accurate and winning serves. He once said a tennis player is only as good as his or her second serve. There is no argument against the importance of second serves by area high school girls tennis players who opened the season March 3. “It’s overall the most important part of the game,” said Cherry Creek senior Kalyssa Hall, who was last season’s Class 5A No. 1 singles runner-up. “If you miss your first serve and you don’t have a second serve, if it’s a weak second serve, they will attack it immediately. Then if you can’t get it in, you are going to automatically lose a point.” Players are more aggressive on first serves, hitting with more power. Second serves are usually hit with a variety of spin in order not to be vulnerable for the opponent’s return. Second serves are more strategic with placement and pace. “Service is probably the most important part of tennis, so second serve is obviously important,” said Mountain Vista junior Casey Zhong, a left-hander who finished third in the No. 1 singles bracket in the 2015 state tournament. “If you can’t serve and start the point, how are you going to win the point? “My second serve is usually more conservative. The goal of the second serve is to get it in … you want to hit a second serve with a lot of spin to throw your opponent off. My second service, believe it or not, has slice and top spin.” Defending state No. 3 singles champion Gloria Son, a senior at Cherry Creek, doesn’t separate her first from her second serve. “The first serve is the most important,” she said. “You can take more chances. It’s just important that your second serve is there when you need it. You need to have a strong backup serve.
Clara Larson, Douglas County senior tennis player
Douglas County senior Clara Larson, who last season was the first player in recent school history to make it to the quarterfinals of the state tournament, says work in practice on second serves helps to build confidence. Photo by Jim Benton “For me my first serve is almost like my second serve. I just have one serve overall. First and second serve are the same for me with a lot of spin and I try to get it on the weaker side with a lot more slice since I am a lefty.” Second serves can test a player’s mental toughness. Many players, especially in a close match, tighten up on crucial second serves. “The second serve is all you, there’s nothing that your opponent controls
about it,” said Mountain Range senior No. 1 singles player Kristen Kirby, who finished fourth in last year’s 5A state tourney. “And on the second serve you are going to have a chance for a point or lose it right off the bat; it’s really easy to tense up and just try to get it in. “The second service is kind of like you have muscle memory and you have to trust that it will come out and you’ll have the top spin and have the
right angle and everything. When I start not really trusting that muscle memory is when I get in trouble.” Douglas County senior Clara Larson agrees that second serves can be pressure-packed. “There’s definitely more pressure,” she said. “Serving is kind of a way to take control of the points, and when the first serve doesn’t go your way, the second serve is your last line of defense. Depending on how well you hit it (second serve), it gives you the advantage of being in an offensive position or giving your opponent the advantage or putting you on defense.” Serving in doubles is different because the return of serve is a key, since there is a player at the net. Service angles are critical and topspin serves usually result in good net rushing opportunities on returns. So the importance of good second serves in doubles doesn’t diminish. “Usually with my second serve, I know it has to go in and I hit it a lot less hard,” said D’Evelyn senior Trinity Payne, who teamed with Cammy Lee to capture the No. 4 doubles title in last season’s Class 4A state tournament.
Retired coach comes back to town, game Ed Montojo wasn’t planning to coach the Bear Creek girls soccer team this season. The retired teacher spent February traveling to places like New York, Florida and Puerto Rico and didn’t get back to the Denver area until Jim Benton March 3. “We thought we OVERTIME had a person in place to take over… but he got a new job and just couldn’t do it,” Montojo said. “So I’m back doing it.” His travels caused Montojo to miss tryouts and the first practices of the season in late February. But he is back on the sideline now for his third campaign with the Bears. Bear Creek went 9-43-3 the past four seasons and this year’s team is young with four freshmen, four sophomores, four juniors and four seniors. The Bears are 1-4 this season with a team com-
posed of mostly recreational players. “We have a young team this season and we’ve had some flashes but we’re lacking the consistency,” Montojo said. “I don’t worry about mistakes so much. That’s part of the game. The mistake is feeling bad and dropping your head. It’s a growing process.” Name change looms for Parker stadium Does anybody remember the original name for the stadium in Parker that opened in 2009? It was Burt.com Stadium but the naming rights for the 5,500-seat venue, located at 11901 Newlin Gulch Blvd., changed to Sports Authority Stadium in 2010 when the sporting goods company signed a three-year contact with Douglas County. Sports Authority is planning to reorganize in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, but didn’t renew the naming rights agreement for the stadium long before its financial troubles surfaced. The Douglas County School District is close to revealing a new naming sponsor and look for signage to go up prior to the
start of the 2016-17 season. “It will remain Sports Authority probably throughout the spring season unless the new people want to get their name up ASAP,” said Derek Chaney, Douglas County School District athletic director. “Then we will make a midseason change, but otherwise we’ll wait until the ‘16-17 year to do it.” Snow can’t strand swimmers One of the best features about boys swimming is the sport is not exposed to Colorado’s spring snowstorms. That was the case March 19 when several scheduled events were postponed because of a storm, but the Dick Rush Coaches Invitational swim meet was held at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. It was a chance for three local athletes to shine. Arapahoe junior Griffin Eiber won the 50-yard freestyle in 21.12 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 46.02. Heritage junior Michael Hinton was first in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:42.22, while teammate Patrick Kelley, also a junior, won the
200 IM in 2:54.52. Cherry Creek finished third in the team standings, with Arapahoe fourth and Ponderosa fifth. Heritage was seventh. Alumni report Zach Braxton, a Highlands Ranch graduate and a redshirt freshman starter at Weber State in Ogden, Utah, scored seven points in the Wildcats’ 71-53 loss to Xavier in the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament Westmont College junior Daniel Butler, a Valor Christian graduate who lives in Lone Tree, tossed a nine-inning no hitter in a 6-0 win over Arizona Christian on March 18. Butler, who hit a batter to lead off the game but faced only 27 hitters in the contest, improved his career record to 17-1 at the Santa Barbara, California, school.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MARCH 21, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The week promises a calmer aspect. Although there might be some lingering effects of a recent job problem, things should continue to ease up. Also expect a change in a home-based situation. TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) If you feel uneasy about a colleague’s suggestion, it might be that your wise inner Taurean guide is alerting you to a potential problem. Stepping away could turn out to be the right thing to do. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family get-together opens up new opportunities for renewing ties. It can be especially effective in dealing with disagreements that should have been, but never were, fully resolved. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be surprised at the response you get to a recent decision. You might be even more surprised by the reasons behind it. In any event, you’ll learn something important. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your aspects favor resolving any tensions left over from a recent incident. You might want to consider having a “clear the air” talk as soon as you can. A call can lead to a change of plans. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid repeating yourself. If your first few efforts fail to connect, maybe it’s because you haven’t found the right way to get your message across. Try changing your approach.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good intentions plus a strong resolve to succeed can take you where you want to go. Don’t give up just because someone suggests you might be pursuing an impossible cause. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected setback can be a blessing in disguise. Use it to recheck your facts and how you’ve presented them. Meanwhile, look for ways to expand your contacts. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should finally be seeing a positive change in a recent personal situation. However, an on-the-job matter might need more attention than you realized. Stay with it.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you should be close to completing an important matter, you still need to focus on being focused. But things ease up in time for weekend fun with family and friends. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A certain matter might take an unexpected turn. Don’t simply accept it; ask for an explanation. What you learn might be helpful in shifting the situation around to your benefit. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Projecting a positive attitude helps restore calm even when you’re confronting some pretty stormy situations. Stay the course. The outcome will be well worth your efforts. BORN THIS WEEK: While you enjoy tradition and stability, you also appreciate the good things that change can bring. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
