Sherlocks bring animals home Missing Mutt Detectives come together to locate pets By Chris Michlewicz Special to Colorado Community Media While Deb Nabb explains her ways of rehabilitating neglected dogs, Canello sneakily applies a few affectionate licks to her cheek. The boxer mix’s face says so much when he looks at his foster mom, namely that he’s grateful to have found someone he can finally trust. Canello achieved a measure of notoriety when he went missing from a different foster parent’s home on Christmas Eve, only to show up on a doorstep miles away two weeks later with a face and shoulder full of porcupine quills. Canello quickly became known in media reports as “the porcupine dog.” Since his brush with both the agitated porcupine and fleeting fame, things have been a bit calmer. Missing continues on Page 8

Parker Town Council approved a resolution to waive parts of the municipal code, allowing further negotiation between Public Service Company of Colorado/Xcel Energy and the council on the contentious Pawnee-Daniels Park Transmission Line project. Town Attorney Jim Maloney said he pushed for the resolution in order to allow more time for public review and negotiation of the project. Another benefit for the waiver, according to Maloney, is that environmental standards for evaluating the project will be in line with 2020 standards rather than current ones. According to state law, he said, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission automatically considers any pending agreement between a municipality and Xcel to be agreed upon after a 90-day period. Current law states that any proposal sent by the council to Xcel could then be returned at Xcel’s discretion, possibly eating away at the 90-day threshold and forcing an automatic approval of the project by the PUC. The resolution, unanimously approved by the council, says that any time spent by Xcel internally debating any council proposals would be added to the 90-day limit. Maloney said this extra time Council continues on Page 11

How will Colorado meet workforce demand? A special report by Colorado Community Media Staff report With the fourth-lowest unemployment rate in the nation, 3 percent, Colorado has made mountainous gains when it comes to economic development following the recession that struck in December 2007 and lingered for years. Businesses are flocking to the Centennial State, and Coloradans are finding work. But employers increasingly are finding it difficult to find the right workers to fill their jobs.

Metro North Chamber of Commerce President Angela Habben said, at least in her organization’s part of the Denver area, the workforce isn’t meeting the market demand. “Either employers can’t find workers willing to do the job or they can’t find prospects with the training required to meet position qualifications,” she said. Simon Fox, deputy director of Business and Funding Initiatives for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, said the demand is great for wokers in the fields of information technology and skilled trades. “There aren’t enough welders or carpenters,” he said. Democratic and Repbulican state

lawmakers are working together to address this. The 10 bills comprising a bipartisan package called Colorado Ready to Work are making their way through the Legislature. The overriding theme is creating partnerships between the business and education communities, with the goal of developing a workforce that can meet Colorado’s growing and changing demands. For many business leaders, measures like these can’t be passed soon enough, given the massive growth the Denver metro area figures to see in coming years. “That’s a real supply-and-demand dilemma if we don’t act soon,” Habben said.

Conditional teacher turnover data reﬂects internal promotions

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com A more detailed state report on teacher turnover revealed that 186 teachers in the Douglas County School District were promoted or took other positions within the district during the 2015-16 school year. The Colorado Department of Education released “conditional turnover” figures on April 7. Conditional turnover excludes teachers or other personnel who left a job for another one within the same school district. Douglas County’s overall teacher turnover rate is 19.7 percent, but the percentage of teachers who left the district is lower, 14.4 percent. Of the 687 DCSD teachers who changed jobs during the reporting period, 501 teachers left both their job position and the district, while 186 stayed in the district but switched positions or were promoted to a different job category. This is a change in reporting methodology for the state from years past. “I’m so appreciative to CDE for taking the time to expand upon the data,” Superintendent Elizabeth Fagen said. “For a long time that set of data has been confusing to our community. It was not an accurate representation of turnover in our district.” School board member David Ray said the new figures do not change the fact that too many teachers are leaving the district. “We need to stop playing the game of ‘is the glass half full or is it half empty?’ and focus on what it will take to reverse this unacceptable trend of teacher turnover,” Ray said. “There is no greater

impact on our students’ education than the teachers we place in their classrooms. Retaining these teachers should be our number one focus.” Cherry Creek School District had a conditional turnover rate of 9.5 percent and an overall turnover rate of 10.4 percent. Littleton School District had a conditional turnover rate of 8.7 percent and an overall turnover rate of 9.3 percent. In the Jefferson County school district, the conditional turnover rate is 13.5 percent and the overall turnover

rate is 16.3 percent. CDE does not list a state average for conditional turnover. The annual teacher turnover report had been released April 1 without the new category. But new department of education Commissioner Richard Crandall “saw the report and asked us to break out a new category that shows teachers who left their job to take on new roles within the district,” said Dana Smith, chief communications officer for CDE. “We realized the formula for turnover

actually punished school districts with strong internal leadership development programs,” Crandall said in a news release. “For example, if a district hired an in-house teacher to fill a vacant principal position, the formula would actually count that as two vacancies – one for the principal position and then a second one when you promoted the teacher. We have worked with districts over time on the report to be clearer about what retention data means.” DCSD has been tracking its own turnover in this manner for several years. Fagen said the data shows how much value the district places on promotion from within. She said she spoke to Crandall about the need for a more detailed report. “It’s something we have followed closely in the district. It’s important to us,” Fagen said. “I can’t say that we led the way because I don’t know what concerns other districts have shared with CDE, but we have been looking at these numbers for a while.” Fagen said the more detailed report is “a huge step forward.” “We believe that in many cases our employees are the best suited to take on new roles and opportunities within the district,” Fagen said. “We believe in our teachers and administrators. I’m very proud of the way we value promotion within the district.”

Douglas County readies aerial assault on wildfires PREVENTING FIRES Some tips and guidelines from South Metro Fire Rescue for preventing fires and wildfires: • All recreational fires must be no more than 3 feet in diameter, and must be at least 25 feet from any combustible items such as utility poles, decks or sheds.

• Keep grass watered and mowed, and trim shrubs and trees to keep them outside of the 25-foot zone. • Never start a recreational fire or use a portable fireplace when the Fire Weather Outlook is listed as “Elevated,” Critical” or “Extreme.” To check the outlook for the day, go to: http://www. spc.noaa.gov/products/fire_wx/ fwdy1.html.

Commissioners renew pacts with four operators for upcoming season By Tom Skelley tomskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Douglas County commissioners renewed contracts with four aerial-based firefighting companies to prepare for the upcoming wildfire season. In a March 29 news release, the board announced new agreements with Heliqwest International Inc. and Trans Aero Ltd. for up to $50,000 in helicopter services, and 10 Tanker Air Carrier LLC for up to $100,000 in fixed-wing apparatus services. Rampart Helicopter Services LLC, which has helped fight fires in Douglas County in the past, will continue its arrangement as a “call when needed” provider for the county. The cost of services authorized with Rampart does not exceed $404,000

over a 12-month period. Actual cost to the county will depend on how often Rampart’s services are used. In the release, David Weaver, chair of the commissioners, said several fires in the last few years contributed to the decision. “Given the number of fires we have seen in recent years throughout Colorado, we understand the importance of having every precaution in place to protect our communities,” Weaver said. “That includes having as much wildland fire air support as possible.” Jeff Armstrong, owner of Castle Rockbased Rampart, said it is important for the county to have resources close to home in the event of a fire. “We pushed for this because typically the federal assets are not around when we need them,” Armstrong said. “It never seems to fail that when we get hit with a big fire the assets are gone.” Armstrong also praised Douglas County officials for their cooperation and making ground forces available to train with his

helicopter crews. In addition to the renewals, the board also approved an Annual Operating Plan. The plan explains how cooperating fire departments will work together to battle fires, including authorization for the closest department to begin fighting a fire even if it is inside another department’s jurisdiction. The plan also stipulates that costs of services will be considered during a response to a fire, but protecting firefighters and property will come first. John Gould, business development manager for 10 Tanker, an Albuquerque, New Mexico company, said the contract renewal is a good option for the county because no money changes hands unless needed. “I think this was a really good agreement (the board) made,” Gould said. “If the folks in Douglas County have a fire… we’ll show up within 24 hours. When the chips are down, they’ll have quick and efficient access to a valuable firefighting asset.”

• Always call 720-258-8911 to alert South Metro Fire before and after utilizing a recreational fire or portable fireplace. This prevents false alarm calls. • Keep a fire extinguisher, 5-gallon bucket of water or sand, or a garden hose at the ready at all times. Never leave a fire unattended. • If the fire extends outside of the designated area or fireplace, call 911 immediately. • More information about wildfire prevention can be found in the South Metro Fire and Rescue Community Wildfire Prevention Plan online at: http://www.southmetro.org/DocumentCenter/ View/175. • Homeowners and gardeners can find information on wildfireresistant landscaping techniques at: http://www.southmetro.org/ DocumentCenter/View/529.

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

purposes other than legitimate medical reasons. Littleford and his co-defendants face several charges, and the charges against Littleford include money laundering and distributing or dispensing a controlled substance from which death results. Littleford, 70, now lives in Manhattan, Kansas, and was arrested there. He owned and operated the Pain and Injury Clinic in Parker. While there, Littleford allegedly prescribed drugs such as oxycodone, morphine, methadone and amphetamines in quantities and dosages that would allow patients to abuse and become addicted to the drugs. His prescription of the painkiller oxycodone to two of his patients resulted in their deaths, the indictment states.

Smithling, 39, was arrested in Michigan, where she currently resides. She was Littleford’s office manager at the Pain and Injury Clinic in 2011-12. Callas, 63, and Eskanos, 61, are co-owners of Crown Point Pharmacy in Parker and Sky Ridge Pharmacy in Lone Tree, and were arrested in Douglas County. All four defendants were scheduled to appear April 12 in U.S. District Court to be advised of the charges against them. The indictment is the result of an investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Internal Revenue Service. It alleges that Littleford routinely wrote new prescriptions for patients when they should have had opioids remaining from previous prescriptions. The “early refill” prescriptions were then filled

at Crown Point Pharmacy and Sky Ridge Pharmacy, allegedly with the knowledge of Callas and Eskanos. The indictment also states the defendants engaged in money laundering to promote and continue the illegal drug distribution. “The prescription drug problem in Colorado and the U.S., specifically opioid drug abuse, is at epidemic proportions,” said Barbra Roach, a special agent with the DEA. “Those in special positions of trust and responsibility in our community, such as our medical professionals, must be held accountable when they cross the line into criminal behavior for their own profit.” A telephone message at Crown Point Pharmacy said the store was closed for a family emergency April 12.

Colorado students prep for job market More high schoolers could earn career certifications under bill

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Aliyah Martinez of Lakewood is earning an associate’s degree in precision machining this May, just before her high school graduation. She wants to become a mechanical engineer and believes having a base of knowledge in machining will help her in her career. “I really like the idea of a technical high school because I’m more of a hands-on person,” Martinez said. Martinez is a senior at Lakewood High School. She takes daily classes at Warren Tech, a Jefferson County Public Schools campus in Lakewood that offers a variety of programs offering certifications, realworld work experience and concurrent enrollment credit at Red Rocks Community College. “I think the whole country is starting to talk about career and technical education because of the shortage of skilled labor,” said Joe Shaw, principal at Warren Tech. Colorado legislators are among those taking notice. A package of 10 bills, labeled Colorado Ready to Work, introduced this legislative session is aimed at boosting workforce development. State Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver, is a sponsor of several of the measures. She said the goal of the package is to involve more businesses in helping produce graduates with the skills needed to step into good jobs. “Let’s encourage Colorado’s companies to take a larger role in the development of the next generation of Colorado

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT WARREN TECH “A lot of (Warren Tech students) are very sophisticated in their approach to learning.” — Warren Tech Principal Joe Shaw “At first, I wanted to learn welding just for fun. I ended up really liking it, now I want to make a career out of it.” — Warren Tech student Melissa Larkee “Here, you really get the tangible learning” — Warren Tech student Marcus Bowen

workers,” she said. The measures have bipartisan support. “The goal is to provide better tools and expanded experiential training programs for students as they confront a changing economy and a constantly

changing mix of possible careers,” said state Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker. One bill introduced in February, and sponsored by Duran, incentivizes career and technical education for high school students. House Bill 1289 would create a pilot program awarding school districts $1,000 for each student who: • Earns a certificate in an in-demand industry, such as plumbing, masonry and web devolopment. • Finishes a workplace training program. • Completes an AP computer science course. Shaw is encouraged by what he sees as a renewed focus on career education at the high school level, though he noted it is difficult for state agencies to predict in advance what fields will be in demand in the years to come. “Hopefully, we’ll see more funding for career and technical education,” he said. Littleton Public School officials have concerns about the legislation. Mimi Leonard, the district’s coordinator of

ABOUT WARREN TECH Warren Tech is the career and technical high school for Jefferson County Public Schools, though enrollment is not limited to Jefferson County students.

Erickson was inspired to go to school while pregnant with her daughter out of a desire to provide a better life for the child. She worked several jobs in the retail, service and restaurant industries. “I’d been stuck in positions within organizations, and surrounded by people that hated their jobs, but stayed because of their limited skill set,” Erickson said.

campus. Erickson is working on a further degree. What brought you to Red Rocks Community College? Knowing that I Erickson would be a single parent, I knew right away that I would not be able to work many of the types of jobs that I had in the past, as the typical hours in these industries relied heavily on nights and weekends. I wouldn’t have anyone to watch my kid while working those hours. There are no childcare centers that operate nights and weekends to my knowledge. I wasn’t sure what path I would take professionally, so I decided to take a generic route and go for business. In my last semester of working toward my AAS (Associate of

Applied Science) in business, I took an Intro to Programming class and decided that I liked the challenge that it brought. I added a second AAS degree with emphasis in Programming Specialist. I was exposed to a variety of different opportunities when I became more involved on campus. I tried several different clubs, I talked to different people to understand more about the careers that they were aiming for and the degrees that they were seeking. I learned what I liked and what I didn’t like. How did you search for jobs? What resources did you use? My job came through networking. My previous employer referred me for the job. I had used the career center at Red Rocks to talk through pain points in the interview process,

to update my resume to include skills that I had acquired as a student and to complete an internship. I have also established a network that I can communicate with about tips for getting a job, what the industry is like, resources for professional and personal use, etc. What is the job market like now? My industry falls under the science-technology-engineering-math (STEM) category. The outlook for positions within this industry is very good as the demand for these employees is high. This industry typically pays well, too. It seems that the method in which employees are looking to recruit and hire talent has changed, as they are using sites like LinkedIn more. There are different approaches and schools of thought in the hiring and interview processes

for STEM. It doesn’t seem to have a prescribed process, but there are several methods that are used to interview the candidate. Many companies are looking for experience. If you are able to complete an internship to gain some knowledgeable experience and for a chance to apply some of your recently acquired skills, this would be a great service to your job search. An internship can also lead the way to a permanent position and is another form of networking. What was the most difficult part of the job-seeking process? There are so many interviewing pain points for me, this is certainly my struggle area. Especially when it comes to having confidence in an area that I have only had experience within a classroom.

Workforce development

Job measures aim to work wonders Package of legislation could help Coloradans clear hurdles, make career transitions, gain entry to trades By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s economy has had one of the best recoveries from the 2008 recession in the country, with an unemployment rate almost 2 percentage points lower than the national average. But that’s difficult to believe when one is still looking for a job. Ernie Navarette experienced that firsthand when he found himself changing careers after years in the technical arena. “I sort of fell into that industry because of the training I received in my time in the Navy,” Navarette said. “My career in that field ran its course, and I had an epiphany that it was time to change careers.” The situation has improved for a large number of job seekers in Colorado. The state’s unemployment rate was 3 percent in February, the most recent month data was available. That was the lowest figure since March 2001, according to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. The national jobless rate in February was 4.9 percent. Despite the numbers, it can be extremely frustrating for those still searching. Navarette is one of many who found themselves seeking employment in uncertain times. “We deal with anger and tears every day,” said Joel Parroitt, business services supervisor at the Adams County Workforce and Business Center. “So often, I think people are just looking for the wrong job — they’re looking at jobs that need more experience or have different background requirements.” With Colorado’s economic improvement, more people aren’t looking for just any job — they’re looking for better jobs. “I was pregnant with my daughter and aspired to be able to provide for her. I felt that I needed a career, not just a job in order to do this,” wrote Rita Erickson, a former Red Rocks Community College student and now employee, in an email interview. “I have worked several jobs in the retail, service and restaurant indus-

Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, and Sen.

This program provides job training to help seekers find employment and transition off government assistance. “Within the next five years, we’re going to lose employees at places like Xcel and the oil and gas industry because of age, and that’s going to affect all of us,” Kraft-Tharp said. “There’s been so much encouraging kids to go to a four-year

They also help seekers with everything from their resumes and interview skills to workshops and job fairs. “Part of our message is there’s no ‘onesize-fits-all’ candidate,” said Timothy Galloway, supervisor of business services at the American Job Center. “Every position has unique qualifications, and you have to match that with their personal skills and attributes.” Both Erickson and Navarette opted to expand their career options by attending classes at Red Rocks Community College, and eventually found work at the college.

For kids in technical programs, job training and higher education are not mutually exclusive. Leonard said that 90 percent of career and technical education students in Littleton Public Schools go on to college.

At Warren Tech, Shaw said some are looking for a good job to pay their way through college, while others are exploring careers that might interest them. Jake Howard of Arvada, who is earning a welding certification, said the prospect of a good career played into his decision to attend Warren Tech, as well as learning outside of a classroom environment. “In high school,” he said, “it’s just sitting in front of a board.”

on further degrees. “While I was attending Red Rocks, I was working a primarily full-time job and on my days off I would attend classes and work my part-time job on campus,” Erickson said. “I had a busy life and Red Rocks’ flexible schedule options allowed me to attend school when I could fit it into my schedule.” For job seekers who don’t need as much schooling and are close to obtaining the schooling or certifications they need, there is the national Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, signed into law in 2014.

necessary, like members of the special forces. “Whitney and I and Deb have been known to lay in the middle of the asphalt and people are like, `What?’” Ruiz said of an attempt to sneak up on a dog without startling it. Ultimately, Murphy was done in by his love for pizza. Through some sleuthing and a hunger craving during the search for Murphy, the group found out from employees at a nearby Little Caesars that something was eating from their trash bin at night. Pizza was used as bait in the trap that caught Murphy after 40 days on the lam.

One year ago, life was different for Canello, who was dropped off at a Denver Dumb Friends League shelter with two other dogs when his original “parents” no longer wished to care for them. Canello had been relegated to the backyard as a puppy, and he came with zero structure and a fear of men he doesn’t know. He ended up with a foster parent in Aurora, but bolted within 24 hours of his arrival. Nabb, of Castle Rock, is his newest foster mom. She’s still pulling porcupine quills from his face and body, but Canello is slowly regaining his health and his trust in people. Missing Mutt Detectives work case Canello’s story recalls scenes from the 1993 movie “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey,” in which one of the family film’s canine stars becomes curious about a porcupine only to learn the hard way that it’s best to steer clear of the oddlooking waddlers. The film follows two dogs and a cat that trek hundreds of miles through the wilderness to get home. Canello didn’t go quite that far, but Nabb says he meandered a distance of at least 20 miles — and that’s as the crow flies, not as the dog sniffs. Canello was spotted near Aurora Reservoir shortly after going missing and ended up on a porch in Anthology, a neighborhood west of Stroh Ranch, on Jan. 6.

Canello, a boxer mix who lost a tussle with a porcupine earlier this year, is slowly improving. His foster mom is still pulling quills from his face and shoulder. Photo by Chris Michlewicz Meanwhile, there was a group of dedicated volunteers that worked doggedly to find Canello. He eventually gave up on his own, but has been cared for by members of the Missing Mutt Detectives, including Nabb, a dog behaviorist known as “The Mutt Master.” The Missing Mutt Detectives started out as a loose-knit crew of neighbors who collectively looked for missing animals, and it soon grew to a Facebook community with nearly 300 followers. The group has found between 75 and 100 animals (including one prairie

dog) since its inception last year; its core members distinctly remember the three animals they weren’t able to locate. “They’re the ones that really keep us up at night,” says Parker resident Sabrina Ruiz, one of the co-founders of the Missing Mutt Detectives. The lengths that the volunteers have gone to for dogs and cats they’ve never met is astonishing. Case in point: the hunt for an Australian shepherd mix named Murphy. He was the one that helped the group coalesce, although they admit now they didn’t know what they were doing at the time. However, they did what they could, and because Murphy was so skittish, the group had to adopt some military tactics. Without chasing the dog, they cornered him while he was sleeping with the intent of netting him, only to get the slip at the last moment. Another time, a Parker police officer stopped traffic near Mainstreet and Jordan Road to prevent anyone from getting hurt. The doggie detectives also communicate through hand signals when

Seeking the happy endings Missing Mutt Detectives got its start when one of its core members, Parker resident Whitney Olson, realized that her cat had gone missing. She was driving around the neighborhood and was frantic. “She had mascara running down her face. I didn’t know her (but) I dropped everything I was doing — I was out in the yard — and I just helped because I thought, `Gosh, what if it were my animal?’” Ruiz said. Olson, who found her cat, says the success of the Missing Mutt Detectives is due to the mobilization of well-organized volunteers who hang fliers, talk to neighbors, share Facebook posts by the group, and place lost-and-found ads on Craigslist. The efforts have saved dozens of lives and resulted in some emotional reunions. “That’s the drive in us and that’s the drive in the community: We’re all suckers for a happy ending,” Ruiz says. After Murphy was taken into custody, the group put two leashes on him to make sure he stayed put. Murphy was nonchalant when he exited the trap. Then, he looked at his owner with a sudden jolt of recognition, and his tail began to wag. Murphy climbed into his owner’s lap, curled up, and heaved a massive sigh that said “I’m home.” The adventure was over. “We were all crying,” Olson said.

Knock the stuffing out of ‘stuff ’ You know that box of “stuff” that has come with you everywhere you have lived? Or maybe it’s that same box or boxes of “stuff” that just keeps getting moved around from the attic, the crawl space, the basement, and then to the garage and then back to the basement again. Then eventually some of us even rent storage space to keep all those boxes and all of that “stuff” sacredly preserved. Then one day, maybe that day is today, we wake up and decide we are actually going to open the boxes of “stuff” and let go of what we really don’t need or want. But what happens? We open the boxes and we see all of these things that remind us of our childhood or our children or our favorite sport or hobby and there is just no way we could ever let it go. So back in the box it goes, neatly wrapped, and ready to take its rightful position back in the basement alongside the stacks of National Geographic magazines that have been saved since 1979. “Stuff,” “stuff,” and more “stuff” accumulates until there is simply no more room for it, or we have decided that the Third Place swimming trophy we received in sixth grade just doesn’t motivate us any longer and our friends and family just aren’t that impressed by our accomplishment anymore. I mean, Grandma still tells the story, but other than

that, it’s just one more thing, one more part of the “stuff” that we have carried around for years, even decades. Aside from convincing myself that I would make a great minimalist, I did decide to evaluate the “stuff” I was carrying around and moving with me Michael Norton wherever I decided to go. And I finally WINNING learned to let go of the WORDS “stuff” that mattered at one point and that I realized really didn’t really matter so much any longer. And I am not just talking about material “stuff,” I am talking about the mental “stuff,” burdens, worries, anger, and withholding of forgiveness that seemed to have crept into the attic, basement, crawl space, and storage locker of my mind and heart. And a funny thing happened as I learned to let go of such things, the more I let go of, the more room I created for other things. The boxes and crates of material “stuff” found their way to Goodwill or other donation locations so the actual physical space

I created in my home was amazing for a newly self-proclaimed minimalist. And even better was the space that was created in my head and heart as I made room for more love, forgiveness, lightheartedness, kindness, and focus on my family. Now don’t get me wrong, I practiced these positive virtues and they were very much a part of my life, but as I really cleaned out the clutter, I found a new way to act upon those virtues and I discovered a new way to focus and become more passionate about my business and how I can better serve my customers. But in order to get here, I had to learn to let go, let go of the material “stuff” and the mental “stuff” that was holding me back. And let me share with you, this whole experience has been freeing. So how about you? Are you holding on to “stuff” or are you learning to let go and make room for the things you really want in life? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we do learn to make room for love, kindness, forgiveness, passion, and focus in our lives, it really will be a better than good week.

A salute to a friend who doesn’t see the end It crossed my mind the other day that my dog does not know that this isn’t going to last forever. He thinks that our days together will never end. Animals do know fear. I don’t want to think about what my dinner went through, in the moments before he died. The rabbits in the neighborhood, hundreds of them, are constantly on guard. Smitty, unfortunately, is kind of fearless when it comes to other dogs, even when they compare favorably to horses. He is slowing down, but not much. He sleeps 18 hours a day. Each walk we take, and we take three or four a day when the weather suits him, is like a sleeping pill. When he is no longer in it, the house will seem much larger. It’s happened before, when he spends the night at the Craig Marshall Smith Mountainview Animal Hospital and QUIET Pet Lodge. DESPERATION He was kept for almost a week after his back operation. I know about dying. I don’t know when I first learned about it. Probably it was a bird in the yard or a pet. My family is almost all gone. As I have said before, I have a (great) sister. I counted nine funerals. I am nearly an orphan in the storm. You might know about this. When both your mother and your father are gone, things are very different. The gyroscope is gone. How many times was I in the back seat, being driven somewhere? There was nothing to worry about — yet.

Working public health programs deserve support As a local public health official, it is my job to worry about my community’s health. It’s also my job to create the greatest access I can to programs that improve our health and enhance all our lives. At the Tri-County Health Department, we strive for this every day for every citizen in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. So when an extraordinarily effective family planning program comes along, like the one we’ve been part of for the last six years, it’s incumbent on us to stand up and speak out in favor of its continuation. Colorado lawmakers are currently considering a state budget that includes a modest amount of money to keep the program going statewide. The program I am referring to is one that has been going on across our state since 2009. Its simple goal is to provide the most effective contraception now available — long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and hormonal implants — to women in Colorado who would not otherwise be able to afford the high up-front costs of these methods. Dubbed the Colorado Family Planning Initiative, it has produced real benefits for women, their families and each

community served by the initiative. I know it GUEST has in our community. No matter how you COLUMN look at it, this program has been a success. From 2009 when the program first began until 2014, we have seen the overall teen birth rate in Colorado drop by 48 percent, the largest decrease in the entire country. In Adams County, the teen birth rate has dropped by 50 percent. When we think about public health programs that support better outcomes in the lives of our young people, this program has to be at the very top of that list. It’s very important to remember that fewer unplanned pregnancies mean fewer abortions. During this same period, the abortion rate for women ages 15 to 19 fell by 48 percent statewide and it fell by 20 percent for women ages 20 to 24. All of these impressive numbers are also important to our state’s resources. Fewer unplanned pregnancies also means less need for women and families to use state programs for support. The math on this is

would allow the council to hold two public meetings to discuss the project. Councilmember Josh Martin expressed skepticism that Xcel would agree to the extension. “If I’m Xcel, why would I sign this?” he asked Maloney. Mark Stutz, spokesperson for Xcel, said in an email the company is fine with the extension. “The extension actually benefits both sides, in that the Town of Parker may possibly need additional time as well,” Stutz said. “We would note that working with the Town of Parker has been excellent in our experience.” The plan would install 345 kilovolt (kV) power lines over a 125-mile area from the Daniels Park substation in Castle Pines to the Pawnee substation in northeastern Colorado. Xcel has said the current transmission lines, installed in the 1960s, are out of date. Xcel’s plan includes three possible routes for the transmission lines. Plan A would have the lines going through the town from the north between Pine Drive and Tomahawk Road, then turning

A map shows the alternate routes proposed for the Pawnee-Daniels Park transmission line, a planned project that has upset homeowners in several neighborhoods. Courtesy image west along a route just south of Main Street for approximately five miles, then heading directly west to Daniels Park. Route B follows the same basic path while looping farther south of the Main Street area, and Route C would be even farther west, traveling south along the border of Douglas County and

Elbert County and cutting west along a path approximately four miles south of Main Street. Five Parker residents, all from the Rowley Downs subdivision, came to the meeting. Four of the residents are involved with the group Halt the Power Lines, started in 2014 when the project first came to light.

Stephanie Lundgren, a 20-year resident of Parker, said the project goes against the goals of the Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Business Alliance and the Town Council to attract people and businesses to Parker. “None of these plans, Route A, B or C, is acceptable,” Lundgren said, claiming that prop-

erty values, quality of life and tax revenues would decrease if the power lines were constructed. “People will want to leave, and it won’t matter how hard the chamber or the council works.” Another Rowley Downs resident voiced disapproval of the project. David Prok, who said he gave up watching “Dancing with the Stars” to attend the meeting, expressed his fear that the project will divide the community. Prok reminded the council members he had written them each a letter and said he hoped they would take a stand for the citizens by not approving the project. Mayor Mike Waid assured Prok that council members had read the letters and explained that the council doesn’t get to choose which route to approve. Waid also expressed his hope that passage of Maloney’s resolution would bring Xcel to the negotiating table more readily and possibly encourage them to agree to more mitigation proposals from the council. Councilmember John Diak agreed with Waid’s sentiment, reiterating that ultimately, Xcel can appeal any decision made by the council to the PUC. Diak said there is a high probability that the PUC will overrule the council’s decision if it votes against approving the project.

Broken pipe forces temporary closing at King Soopers By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com A broken water main shut down a Parker King Soopers on April 5, leaving shoppers in the lurch.

common sense. Take, for example, the fact that it costs about $404 to provide access to family planning counseling, medical support and contraceptives to each woman who chooses to use the program. Conversely, each Medicaid birth alone costs about $11,000. That number doesn’t account for additional supports that a young mother and her family will likely need going forward. And while all these numbers and dollar amounts taken together are important, this program is about much more than

I was a kid. I didn’t have a job or a mortgage, or an unhappy girlfriend. I had a perfect, softened leather mitt and a 26-inch bicycle.

The sound of a jackhammer emanated from inside as restoration crews opened the floor to get at the damaged pipe and dumped wheelbarrows full of broken concrete outside the building’s front door. Kelli McGannon, spokesperson for King Soopers, said the store was lucky to money or statistics. It’s about the lives they represent and the quality of those lives.

It improves the likelihood that children will not grow up in poverty and that all families can make the choices they want for their future.

I was in a market in New York, near the new Whitney Museum. The place was full of lower Manhattan exotica, including the house cat. The house cat decided that I was the one.

Some appeared upset to have to alter their shopping plans, and others who had come to pick up prescriptions asked pharmacists

outside the store where to go for their medication. McGannon said any other store location would be made aware of the situation and would be available for those customers. Parker resident Joanne Speicher came to the store to do some shopping but wasn’t concerned about the inconvenience. “Oh. I’ll just go to the other one,” she said. The store reopened the following day.

Jerky goes gourmet Littleton company joins the high-end trend

nies, La Vaca has stuck with beef, mostly sourced from its own ranches and feedlots throughout Colorado. “We just started with a couple flavors,” Smelker said.

“

It’s becoming, it seems like, a little bit more popular with the push for higherprotein snacks.”

JERKY MARKET SEGMENTATION Beef is still king in the jerky industry, but turkey and other meats make up a portion of the market share. Beef: 79 percent Poultry: 8 percent Game (includes deer, elk and bison): 7 percent Pork: 6 percent Source: IBISworld.com La Vaca jerky is also the basis for a newer trend in Littleton: chocolatecovered jerky. Last year, The Chocolate Therapist, another Main Street store, experimented with the idea as a creative Father’s Day gift idea, using the original and hot flavors. Smelker said she hadn’t expected the idea to take off, but it’s proved popular. “It sold really well, and they’ve been selling it ever since,” she said. “I actually really like it,” Smelker added. Chocolate Therapist manager Erin Beffa said she knew some candy stores sell chocolate-covered bacon, but jerky would be more unique to Colorado, and a high-end jerky provider was just down the street.

“It’s a fantastic treat,” she said, noting the product sold out and the store continues to make it on special order. Smelker said jerky also sells well around Christmas. According to business research firm IBISWorld, the $1.1 billion jerky industry grew 4.5 percent from 2009-14, while slightly slower growth is expected through 2019. Though the biggest players in the industry are Jack Link’s and Oberto, a significant number of smaller companies, like La Vaca, have entered the market, selling at specialty stores and farmer’s markets. IBISWorld says companies are battling a traditional perception of the product as unhealthy by marketing it as a source of lean protein, and emphasizing natural ingredients and a minimal level of processing in order to attract health-conscious and physically active consumers. A 1-ounce serving of La Vaca’s Sweet Hot Chipotle product provides 11 grams of protein and just a single gram of fat. One of these is Krave Jerky, a large producer owned by Hershey’s, that has taken to sponsoring athletic events and giving out samples to marathon runners at the end of races. Smelker sees the premium jerky trend continuing to grow in the future. “We’ve got people that come back and load up regularly,” she said. “It’s definitely slowly but surely picked up.”

THE RISE OF JERKY The website jerky.com offers the following on the history of jerky: • “Ch’arki,” a name derived from the Quechuan language of the Incas (which literally translates into “dried meat”), later evolved into what we now call jerky. The development of jerky allowed humans to both store food for long periods of time and have an easily carried, dense source of nutrition to take with them on journeys. Some

say Native Americans made the first jerky (bison jerky) thousands of years ago; other sources say an Inca tribe called the Quechua made jerky as early as the 1500s. • When the first Europeans arrived in the New World, they found that the natives were making a dried meat product that did not need to be consumed immediately and they instantly knew that jerky would be beneficial to them. What the

Native American tribes called “pemmican” was jerky meat added to either crushed dried fruit or animal fat. The Native Americans taught the settlers how to cut and prepare the meat into long strips and later shared with them the entire jerky-making process and some variations of seasonings to make different recipes. • Jerky reached its height of popularity during the expansion into North America, where traders

and explorers prized it as an essential source of nutrition as they traveled to new areas with limited accessibility to fresh food and supplies along the way. The fact that meat could be hunted anywhere along the trails that the settlers were following to the West made this method of preparing meat an extremely valuable skill. This was also the introduction of other jerky meat types such as turkey, goose and other wild game.

Musical roots still flower on stage

I grew up surrounded by music, and I have my parents to thank for that. They raised me on a healthy diet of the classics — my dad handling the rock stuff like Led Zeppelin, The Who and The Allman Brothers, my mom the folk side with artists like Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, and Joni Mitchell. Not to say there was no overlap between their tastes — dad loves Springsteen just like everyone, and mom is a fan of Zeppelin — but there were certainly demarcation points on their musical spectrums. So many childhood memories feature a soundtrack by these artists in my mind, and there is still tremendous comfort when I hear the first notes of “Baba O’Riley” or “Badlands” today. Two weeks ago, I saw firsthand that The Who and Springsteen are still capable of rocking me back harder than bands half their age, even though they’re both old enough to have AARP cards. Both bands played the Pepsi Center just two days apart, and provided master classes in musicianship, demonstrating why they’re all-time greats. Almost better — I was able to share both concerts with my parents, and be reminded how important music is as a memory trigger. The Who were in Denver for a rescheduled date on their The Who Hits 50 tour (which may or may not be their last big tour ever), but any notions that this was just some nostalgia trip were blown away when they tore into “The Seeker”

as just their second song. For a band whose remaining two original members are 70 or older, The Who showed a musical vibrancy over two hours that I have a hard time imagining most new bands being Clarke Reader capable of. Guitarist and LINER songwriter Pete NOTES Townshend is still capable of incendiary guitar work (on “Won’t Get Fooled Again”) and incredibly nuanced melody (on “Join Together”). Lead vocalist Roger Daltrey was in incredible form, particularly when you remember the band’s original December date was canceled due to illness. Somehow he can still do the kind of howl that makes your head stand on end, and his delivery on “Baba O’Riley” still packs a punch. But my favorite moments might have been before the show even started, when my dad and I counted up the number of times we’d seen The Who, what year and where the concert was. Or after, when we talked about what our favorite Who songs were and whether or not we’d seen them all performed live. Springsteen puts on a very different show than The Who, but no less impres-

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Gallant’s “Ology” released on Mind of A Genius records. Review: Christopher Gallant’s debut album “Ology” is so luminous and otherworldly in its vocals and melding of R&B, rock and trip-hop that you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s the work of an artist with decades to perfect his craft. In reality, Gallant is just 24, and has crafted an album that deﬁes gender and simply sweeps the listener away. Favorite song: “Weight in Gold” Best display of Gallant’s earth-shattering vocal range: “Open Up” sive. Whereas The Who’s music had more in the way of subtlety, Springsteen’s is like a wall of joyous sound that just buries you. And he and his bandmates put a lot into their three-and-a-half hour performance that included the 1980 album “The River” in its entirety. Unlike The Who, there were no wild lighting or computer graphics to back up Springsteen’s performance. Just three screens so those in the cheap seats could see, and the muscular poetry of the music. Songs like “Thunder Road,” “Born to Run” and “Dancing in the Dark” didn’t even need Springsteen to sing, the tunes

are so ingrained in listeners. But the more delicate numbers like “The River” and “Drive All Night” are equally powerful for their restraint. The Boss himself is a machine, leading his band without taking a break or flagging in enthusiasm. He belted out gems like “Because the Night” like it was the first time he was singing them live, and there’s no way to be awash in that kind of generosity and not be moved. It also gave my mom a chance to talk about the importance of “The River” when she and my dad were dating, how she saw The Boss on the original album tour, and for us to compare notes on our favorite Springsteen albums. Sneaking glances at my parents during both concerts, I was able to see them as they were when they first came upon these artists that had such a profound impact on their lives. That’s what the best music does. It takes you out of your current self and back to the time you pressed play and fell in love. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he thinks “Quadrophenia” is better than “Tommy,” and “Darkness on the Edge of Town” is better than “Born to Run.” Check out his music blog at calmacil20.blogspot.com.

Art on the Edge Gallery nears end of the road

Castle Rock facility will close doors after April 17

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Saddened members of the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild will be closing the group’s Art on the Edge Gallery at 314 Wilcox St. after April 17. Member Fritz Anders writes that “the recent situation limiting our manpower and finances has forced us to close Art on the Edge at its present location … it has stayed open three years ...” It seems the owner of the historic building wants to sell and raise the rent. With members dealing with illness and other problems, there isn’t the man/ woman power needed, nor

financial ability, to stay open. For the final weekend, the gallery will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on April 16 and 17 and many artists will offer discounts on specific items, plus there is some donated art for sale. “GCRAG and the artists are already researching and planning to find a new location in the Castle Rock area that will work for us long into the future,” Anders wrote, adding that the organization will continue as before the gallery opened: holding monthly meetings and classes from its “awesome” instructors in various locations. The current Art Around Town program will continue, as well as the guild’s annual shows: Court the Arts, The Front Range Art Program and Romancing the Arts.

‘Cyrano’ adaptation coming to Lone Tree New translation offered by Boulder company By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree Arts Center has partnered with Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company to present a new adaptation of a treasured classic play, “Cyrano de Bergerac” written by Edmond Rostand in 1897 and first produced in Paris. Producing ensemble director Stephen Weitz was looking for a temporary change in venue as his usual theater, Dairy Center in Boulder, undergoes renovations, and he “wanted to reach a creative solution that enabled us to do different work and reach a different audience.” A partnership with Lone Tree Arts Center was formed and the company will bring a new translation of Rostand’s

beloved play by contemporary playwright Michael Hollinger. Aaron Posner, who directed it first in Philadelphia in 2012, also assisted in writing it for today’s audiences and it was an Weitz immediate hit. Weitz says the new translation is not in verse, but is not modernized in terms of original time period and story. “Theatricalized convention,” he said. He first saw the play as a 19-year-old student in London and hoped to play in it someday. The “big sprawling play with seven scenes offers different challenges — exploring characters,” Weitz said. “There are nine in the cast (20-30 originally). It’s streamlined in this version ...

Castle Rock art show will help preservation Welch’s watercolors include painting of Sedalia landmark By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Castle Rock artist Cindy Welch is featured in April at Cherokee Ranch and Castle in Sedalia. Her artwork will be displayed through the month and a special “Meet the Artist” reception will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. on April 24. (Reservations are requested.) She will release her new painting of the castle, and a limited edition of prints, presumably, as she has with other paintings of local historical buildings. (To see the entire collection, visit cindywelchdesign.com.) Welch is a member of a newly-formed Art Committee at Cherokee and participates in the “Arts Afield” program. It will allow artists and photographers access to the Ranch and Castle for the purpose of creating art. Program director Cynthia Edwards has a vision to share the beauty of the property, while also preserving the 1920s landmark. Welch writes of a growing artistic community at Cherokee. She is a Colorado native and has lived in Castle Rock for 25 years. Her medium is watercolor and she is technically skilled with that difficult medium. She recently showed her paintings in a Commissioner’s Choice Exhibit at the Lone Tree Art Center and will have a solo show in the Healing Arts program at Castle Rock Adventist Hospital in September.

IF YOU GO Reservations for the April 24 reception include a Cherokee Ranch and Castle minitour, live acoustic music and a meeting with Welch. A cash bar will be available. Tickets are $20, and proceeds will go into funds used to maintain and preserve the castle. For a reception reservation or information about visiting the exhibit at another time, go to cherokeeranch.org/arts.

Attendees will find resources for housing, home care, insurance, estate planning, assistance and services, transportation, government programs, adult day care, rehab facilities, health care providers, hospice providers, funeral planning, and activities for socializing and keeping busy.

Disability grant applications now being accepted With a focus on better meeting the needs of residents with developmental disabilities, Douglas County is accepting grant applications through May 3 for projects or programs that address some of the unmet needs of the population. The grant program, a result of the 2001 voter-approved Douglas County mill levy, has resulted in more than $3 million awarded to local programs supporting individuals with developmental disabilities since 2002. About 95 percent of the mill levy funds support the county’s community-centered board, Developmental Pathways, while the remaining 5 percent goes toward grant funds. Grants typically range between $1,000 and $25,000 per program or organization, and are awarded to projects and services that demonstrate innovative and collaborative efforts, as well as best practice in serving those with developmental disabilities. Applications are available online. For more information, contact Maureen Waller at mwaller@douglas.co.us or 303660-7424.

‘Café’ brings music, good times to Town Hall stage By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The entrance and front windows of Smokey Joe’s Café are illuminated and open for business on Town Hall’s stage as a half-dozen band members take their places inside. The animated musicians, led by Donna Kolpan Debreceni, begin a non-stop joyous revue of 39 pop standards, including “Yakety Yak,” “Love Potion # 9,” “On Broadway,” “I’m a Woman” “Hound Dog,” (remember the Elvis version?) and more, written for various vocal stars during the long careers of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. The two songwriters met as very young musicians in California, hit it off and worked with soloists, bands, promoters and other composers for many years —

The Broadway production of “Smokey Joe’s Café” was the longest-running musical in Broadway history and it’s easy to understand why after an evening at Town Hall Arts Center with the band and high-energy cast, directed by Matthew Peters, who also was the choreographer. Members of the diverse ensemble first wander on-stage singing a low-key number about “The Neighborhood,” and aside from a brief intermission, they entertain nonstop with two hours of song and dance. No storyline, no dialogue — although most individual songs tell a story of one sort or another: “Young Blood,” Kansas City,” Yakety Yak, “Baby, That is Rock & Roll,” “Teach Me How to Shimmy,” “Jailhouse Rock” … The audience will recognize many songs, made popular over the years by

Costumes, designed by Linda Morken, resident designer for BDT Stage, were especially pleasing, playing with black and white in different fabrics and textures, with occasional dashes of bright pink or silver. Sound designer Curt Behm kept the balance between instruments and voices almost all the time, which had to be a bit tricky with the great variety of vocal styles, from belt-it-out to soft and sweet.

Chaparral falls against Arapahoe Pitching strands Wolverines’ tying runs on base in 4-2 setback By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Chaparral’s baseball team still has a few things to learn after a 4-2 non-league loss to Arapahoe April 8 at the Warriors’ diamond. Arapahoe scored four runs in the second inning and made them stand up as the Wolverines failed to come up with big hits against the Warriors’ sophomore pitcher Drew Hayes. “That game was a significant step backwards as far as I’m concerned,” said Chaparral

coach Alan DiGiosio, who also coaches the Wolverines girls softball team. “We’ve had some good days and bad days. We’re still learning how to play baseball the right way at this level. We’re still learning what team baseball is all about. We start league play so we don’t have too much time to figure all that stuff out.” Key moments Chaparral had runners on second and third with one out in the top of the seventh but the Wolverines couldn’t score the tying runs. Hayes induced a pop out and a fly out to end the game. “I had to stay focused, determined and I had to finish the game,” said Hayes. “At the

end of the game, you just have to do your best. You can’t let things get into your head that one bad pitch will give up two runs. I just wanted to stick with my fastball.” Key players/statistics Hayes allowed eight hits but walked only one and made pitches to strand five runners in scoring position, including three in the last two innings. He threw 82 pitches. Arapahoe scored all their runs in the second inning with Justin Kuhl, Tyler Aikens and Hunter Rynders getting RBI hits. The fourth run scored on an error. Chaparral senior starter Brad Weems pitched seven innings, allowing only four

hits and two earned runs. Four walks were costly as two of those runners scored. Alec Ackerman and Aaron Hammann collected the Wolverines’ RBI. Jonah Jenkins had two of the Wolverines’ eight hits. They said it “There were not very good at-bats,” said DiGiosio. “We had five at-bats in hitters’ counts and we got ourselves out swinging at pitches we shouldn’t be swinging at in those situations. A popup there in the seventh was a great example. We got a great outing from Brad, we outhit them but they made the plays they needed to and we didn’t make one play or two plays and it cost us four runs.”

“He’s on varsity as a sophomore because we knew he was going to be able to pitch,” explained Arapahoe coach Luke Muller about Hayes, “All of our games kind of got back up. He was scheduled to throw last week but it got pushed back. He’s got a lot of ability, a lot of talent, he’s got a cool head and keeps that same temperament. I wasn’t surprised at all by how he pitched.” Going forward Arapahoe, 2-4 after the Chaparral victory, plays Cherokee Trail in the second game of Centennial League back-toback games April 18. Chaparral (3-5) faces Castle View in a Continental League game April 18.

Veteran coach takes on new job at Legend Monte Thelen planned to step away from football when he announced his retirement as Cherokee Trail football coach last November. But it took only a few months for the 55-year-old veteran coach to reconsider. Jim Benton After taking a call Legend Athletic OVERTIME from Director Kevin Boley, Thelen accepted the position as the Titans’ new head football coach. “It’s funny how that has worked out,” Thelen said. “Yeah, taking some time off was kind of the plan for me, but that changed three weeks ago when Kevin got in touch with me and we started discussing this.” Thelen was Cherokee Trail’s first coach and spent 13 seasons at the Aurora school after also coaching at Rangeview, Strasburg and out of state. Cherokee Trail lost to Valor Christian in the 2012 state championship game. “When you look at his reputation and

success at Rangeview and Cherokee Trail and what everybody said about him about what a quality person he is, it was exciting for us,” said Boley, who also is the basketball coach at the school. “Any time you have a chance to hire a coach with that kind of success and experience, you have to jump on it.” Thelen takes over a program from Robert Doyle that went 4-6 last season and has only had one winning season in its eight-year history. However, the Titans do have starting quarterback Marc Muma returning, plus a promising freshman class ready to contribute. “There are a lot of positives,” said Thelen. “I don’t have any specific plans until I start meeting the kids, the coaches and the talent we have coming back. We definitely want to play hard-nosed football, be good on defense, solid in the kicking game and it would be very nice if we could be explosive and have big play potential on offense.” Green Mountain grad gains honors Green Mountain graduate Ryan Stephan, a 6-foot-10 senior at Mesa State University in Grand Junction, was named the Division II Player of the Year.

Stephan, who averaged 25.6 points and 11.4 rebounds a game in addition to leading Division II with 23 double doubles this season, was also the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Player of the Year, the South Central Region Player of the Year, a Division II Bulletin first team All-American choice and recently played in the 2016 Reese’s NABC Division II All-Star game. He is also one of 25 finalists for the Bevo Francis Award, which is presented to the best small college player in the country. Pitch-count scoreboard Douglas County and Prairie View played a 12-inning baseball game April 9 and it was nice to see a pitch-count scoreboard to track the number of pitches thrown by the teams. Eliot Hardy, an assistant softball coach for Douglas County and the baseball team’s statistician, knew the pitch-count limitations would be put into effect this year by the Colorado High School Activities Association and looked ahead. He formed a company, Ontraksports, and has pitch-count scoreboards available for Colorado high schools. CHSAA assistant commissioner Bert Borgmann is hoping to have the scoreboards available

for all state playoff games next month. The scoreboards, with 6-inch or 8-inch displays, cost either $950 or $1,100 and are portable. They can be mounted near a dugout and controlled by a remote from the dugout or press box. There is a 500foot radio frequency. “If there is a dispute that might arise during a game, it is better to catch it during the inning where the discrepancy arises rather than waiting until the seventh or eighth inning of a tight game,” said Hardy. Sixth national title for Hundley Maria Hundley, a Seattle Pacific senior from Heritage High School, won the vault event at the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championships in St. Charles, Missouri, on April 9. Hundley had a winning score of 9.850 to capture her second national vault title, which gave her six national gold medals in her collegiate career.

Vista boys lacrosase team all about family

Players do best to honor memory of former coach By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mountain Vista’s boys lacrosse team huddles prior to the start of each game and chants, “We are family. You can count on me, I can count on you.” “We are family” is a team motto introduced two years ago by Jake Herman when the Mountain Vista science teacher took over as head coach. Herman died in January at the age of 38, leaving behind his wife Erin and two children, Erin Herman 5-year-old Paul and 3-year-old Tobi. Mountain Vista has been playing and practicing this season with Herman on their mind. “You never want to lose a guy like coach Herman,” said senior goalie Paxton Boyer. “It was tough. We had to make something good out of it because that’s what he would have wanted us to do. We have come together. “He instilled `We are family’ when he came in my sophomore year. We keep doing that in remembrance of him.” Erin Herman now understands why her husband embraced the team motto. “The team motto `We are family’ is truer to me now than it ever has been,” she said. “The truth is these kids have always been a part of our family. They were the center of all of Jake and my conversations. Now, the stories are not secondhand from Jake. “I am part of these players’ lives and they are part of mine. We depend on each other to get through the grieving process. I promised the team that I would be with them all season. I am not

Mountain Vista’s Landon Nolta talks with 3-year-old Tobi Herman after the Golden Eagles’ 18-4 win over Kent Denver on April 6 at Shea Stadium. Photo by Jim Benton coach but I will love and support them as much as he did. They are my family and I am very proud of each and every one of them.” Mountain Vista players have become caretakers of sorts for the Hermans’ children. “They are two great kids,” said senior Noah Hirshorn. “They are awesome to be around. They are smiling, running around and having fun. With the whole thing that happened, we needed to find each other.” Erin Herman, who often hugs coaches and players, can feel the togetherness. There are decals on the back of the team’s helmets, one that says “We Are

Family” and another with Herman’s initials, “JH.” Many supporters continue to wear long-sleeve T-shirts that say “Herman Strong,” which surrounds a Vista logo, and “Strictly Business” is printed on the back. “The players have always had a special relationship with my children but there is something extra special now,” she said. “Pauly is like a team mascot. Pauly makes the team smile and they make him feel included and important. I asked the team to help me raise Pauly to be a good man and a cool kid. “Tobi worships the players and thrives on the attention that they shower her with. I feel like I have an entire team of bodyguards for her.”

Players recently organized a birthday celebration. “Pauly turned 5 two weeks after Jake’s passing,” said Herman. “Colin Munro and Ryan Nunes share the same birthday with Pauly, so we try to have a joint celebration each year. I didn’t have the strength to throw a party this year. “The team organized a birthday party for Pauly at Jump Street, including cake and presents. They played with Pauly and Tobi like they were 5-year-olds. It meant so much to me to have them help Pauly celebrate and forget some of the sadness for a little while.” Junior Colin Munro, the team’s leading scorer who has committed to North Carolina, helped set up the party. “Last year we kind of did something too,” he said. “I texted Erin and we decided to do something fun for all of us. We all went to Jump Street went back to her house, had some cake and had a good time. “Coach Herman’s death has given everyone the drive to work harder and harder and not take days off.” Jamie Munro, Colin’s father and an assistant coach the past two seasons under Jake Herman and a former Vista and University of Denver head coach, is the Golden Eagles’ head coach this season. Mountain Vista was 4-0 after a victory April 6 over Kent Denver and ranked second in the Class 5A in the CHSAANow.com poll. “This team loved coach Herman,” said coach Munro. “This team loves each other, they really do. And they love lacrosse. They lost one of those things but those other two are probably stronger because of it. These kids love to play. They play all the time. That’s why they are so skilled. This team is a really special group of kids.” It appears Mountain Vista has adopted another familiar motto this season: Family is the best team you could ever have.

Several awards go to Douglas County teens

Rock Canyon High School student Ethan Zehender shows off his second place winning painting, titled “Surreal Reality.” Photo by Shanna Fortier

Student art honored at congressional contest By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Rock Canyon High School art student Ethan Zehender, winning second place in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District Art Competition means he’s improving at his craft. “Last year, I got a jury award, so this is one up,” he said with a huge smile. He glanced back at his painting, which was created from a photograph of him as a little boy, but with a modern twist. “I had this concept where I turn realistic things into geometric forms,” Zehender said. “It shows that a lot of things in reality might not be real. The painting shows me as a little kid, but I’m turning into something artificial.” The Congressional Art Competition started in 1987, and 700,000 students have participated over the years. The 4th Congressional District’s contest included 131 entries this year; up from 91 last year. The district includes Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Parker, Lone Tree, Elbert County and a huge swath of Colorado’s Eastern Plains, stretching all the way to the state’s northern, southern and eastern borders. “There are few things that give me more hope in the future of our country than competitions like this — to see young people and their talent,” said Congressman Ken Buck, R- Windsor, who represents the 4th District in Washington and hosts the competition. “When you see young people display their talent and maturity like this, it is really a wonderful thing to see.” The grand prize winner was Jessica Perez, of Fort Morgan High School. She will represent the Colorado’s 4th District at a reception in U.S. Capitol with winners from other districts around the country. Her work will also hang in the tunnel between the congressional offices. The contest was judged by local artists

Cindy Welch and Lucia McConnell. Lutheran High School student Abi Budnack won first place and Rock Canyon High School senior Ashley Bradley took third place. “I’m super happy for all of the other winners,” said Bradley, who won grand

prize in the competition last year. Her third-place painting this year was a play on a photograph taken in Boulder. “I played around with the colors a little more because I wanted it to kind of have a dreamlike sense to it with all the bright saturated colors,” she said, adding that is

something she tends to do in all her paintings. “But I guess I really made it dramatic in that one.” Awards were also given to Douglas County students from Ponderosa High School, Douglas County High School and Legend High School.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 11, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It isn’t always easy for the rambunctious Aries to give a second thought to their often spur-of-the-moment choices. But aspects favor rechecking a decision before declaring it final. TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Information emerges for the business-driven Bovine who feels ready to restart a stalled project. Be prepared to make adjustments as needed at any time during the process. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Part of you wants to complete plans for an upcoming event, while your other self wants to see how things develop first. Compromise by moving ahead with your plans while being open to change. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An unexpected change in a relationship could open up a problem or could lead to a much-needed and toolong-delayed reassessment of a number of matters. The choice is yours to make. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Time for the Lion to total the plusses and minuses resulting from recent personal and/or professional decisions. See what worked, what didn’t and why, and base your next big move on the results.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The clever Virgo can make persuasion work by presenting a case built on hard facts. Sentiment might touch the heart, but it’s good, solid information that invariably wins the day.

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) You usually can win over the most stubborn skeptics on your own. But this time you can benefit from supporters who have been there, done that and are willing to speak up on your behalf. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You win admiration for your determination to do the right thing. Don’t be distracted from that course, despite the offer of tempting alternatives that might suddenly turn up. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While you still need to maintain control of a dominant situation, a new development emerges, making the task easier and the outcome potentially more rewarding.

Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) New factors might have a positive effect on a still-pending matter, but only if the information proves to be credible. Trusted colleagues might be able to offer needed advice. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The week favors moderation, especially if a health problem is involved. Resist the impulse to do more than might be good for you at this time. You can catch up later. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You could feel more than a mite upset by someone or some people who might be creating problems for you. Find out why they won’t change their ways. Their reasons might surprise you. BORN THIS WEEK: You know how to inspire others to do their best by setting a persuasive example of your own. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
