A doggone fun way to read

hildren who are learning to read, or just want some practice, shared their stories Jan. 21 with some canine friends who sat and listened contentedly at the Anythink Huron Street library in Thornton. Tales to Tails is designed for children who are beginning readers or who may be reluctant readers, library children’s guide Julie Rice said. The library partners with Denver Pet Partners to bring in two dogs the third Saturday of each month at the Huron branch, 9417 Huron St., from 10 a.m. to noon. Rice would like to expand the program to more dogs so that more children can participate. “It is fulfilling to see when a child who is hesitant to even sit near the dogs, after a few months comes running up to the dog with a book in hand, eager to sit down and read,” she said. “This is an important program to our community as we are giving our children another avenue to build on a lifelong foundation of reading.”

Northglenn wants community feedback for athletic complex Improvements coming for 42.4-acre complex at Northwest Open Space

Athletic fields at Northwest Open Space in Northglenn can be glimpsed from a nearby bike and pedestrian path.

BY KEVIN M. SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The city of Northglenn is gathering public feedback for improvements to the 42.4-acre multisport athletic complex at Northwest Open Space on 112th Avenue. The complex — the city’s largest athletic facility — is part of the 83-acre community park that also includes the wooded Oscar Arnold Nature Area. The first of three public meetings took place earlier this month with about 50 people in attendance. The next will be in February on a date still to be determined. City officials are reviewing ideas and feedback regarding parking, ballfield additions, trails, drainage and addition of plumbing to restrooms, among other improvements, that will benefit all users from youth and adult sports teams to trail users. “(We’re) really looking at enhancing the space for its current uses,” said Amanda Peterson, the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services. Thanks to an Adams County Open Spaces grant that will cover half of the estimated $240,000 cost for a master plan and specific construction design,

STEFAN BRODSKY

m n c s the city is moving toward the next step in the design phase, Peterson said. At the recent public meeting, the city showed three concepts with subtle differences. Each concept included a slightly different parking configuration with one placing the bulk of new parking spaces on the south side with a few in the southeast corner, another with a parking lot on the south and northeast edges, and a third with a parking lot on the south side and all along the eastern edge. The proposals also included different configurations of soccer and football/ rugby/lacrosse fields surrounding the existing softball and baseball fields.

Those are the big pieces for public input, while others are almost a given, Peterson said. “There are some basics — we know people would like plumbed restrooms. Who wouldn’t?” Many of the ideas for improvements are based on years of feedback from the park’s users. “As we hear from those users, as staff are maintaining those spaces, we get to understand what improvements people would like to see,” Peterson said. The city also is considering removing some berms between fields and fixing some irrigation issues. “Kind of the behind-the-scenes stuff nobody sees, but they see it if we don’t

have it,” Peterson said. Another potential improvement would be changing the asphalt trail to concrete. Dana Kester, the city’s parks project coordinator, said the meeting in February will help narrow the focus. The design phase would likely start in the summer of this year, Kester said. Peterson said it is difficult to ballpark the cost of the project until the design phase is done, but the city will likely seek grants to help pay for improvements that would begin in subsequent years as funding becomes available.

Legislator aims to protect Colorado’s minorities Salazar working on a bill to challenge federal changes BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During his election campaign, President Donald Trump spoke often about deportation plans for undocumented immigrants and keeping a close eye on the Islamic community. But after Trump’s win in November, police departments in cities like Denver and Aurora said they will not enforce federal immigration laws, and Boulder’s city council unanimously voted to declare itself a sanctuary city. Now state Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, is considering similar legislation for the entire state. “What I’m considering isn’t a sanctuary measure, but rather about protecting the states’ rights,” he said. “I want Colorado to be proactive instead of reactive.” The bill Salazar is proposing is still being finetuned, and he doesn’t have a timeline for when it will be introduced. The measure is tentatively called “The Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act.” In its current form, the bill would stop state, cities, counties and law enforcement agencies from providing information about the race, ethnicity, immigration status or religious affiliation of Colorado residents to the federal government for deportation or tracking purposes. SEE BILL, P6

THE BILL In the Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act’s current form, the bill does the following: • Prohibits a state or political subdivision from providing the race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation of a Colorado resident to the federal government for any illegal or unconstitutional purpose; • Prohibits any assistance to the federal government to create a registry for Colorado residents based on race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation;

• Prohibits assisting the federal government or a federal agency in marking or otherwise placing a physical or electronic identifier on a person based on his or her race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation; • Prohibits aiding or assisting, including using state or local lands or resources, the federal government in interning a person based on his or her race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status or religious affiliation.

Immigration debate hits home Residents, immigrants talk about both sides of the issue BY AMY THOMSON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Motivated by the promise of higher wages to help him give his family a better life, Raul Serrano left Mexico for the United States 27 years ago. After 2 1/2 years, he obtained legal residency. Today, he rents a house in Commerce City, where he lives alone, and works as a car mechanic in Thornton. He sends money home to Mexico City to support his wife and three children. It hasn’t been easy, seeing his family only a couple times a year, he said. But the struggle has been worth it. “My people come to work,” Serrano, 50, said of Mexicans like him who cross the border in search of work. “They support the local economy and want better options for their children.”

Lorraine Quintana thinks differently. A Thornton resident born and raised in San Luis in southern Colorado, she opposes any immigration, whether legal or illegal, into the United States. She believes the number of immigrants living in the U.S. has created an unsafe environment. “It’s none or all, and I’m for none,” said Quintana, as she shopped at the Mi Pueblo Market in Thornton. ‘Protecting the states’ rights’ The immigration debate, always contentious, has become even more so with the election of Donald Trump as president. He campaigned on a promise to complete the wall along the Mexican border. And his 100-day action plan to make America great again includes the deportation of undocumented immigrants and a freeze on federal funding for communities that declare themselves sanctuary cities — which means officials and law enforcement would not help federal agents enforce immigration policies.

Aurora, Denver and Boulder have already done just that. And Rep. Joseph Salazar, a Democrat who represents Thornton’s District 31, wants to make Colorado the nation’s first state to support a policy that reflects similar ideas. “What I’m considering isn’t a sanctuary measure, but rather about protecting the states’ rights,” said Salazar, who began working on the bill last fall in reaction to what he called Trump’s rhetoric on immigration. “I want Colorado to be proactive instead of reactive.” He is holding community meetings across the state to find out what constituents want in the bill, titled the “Ralph Carr Freedom Defense Act” after the late Colorado governor who protected Colorado’s Japanese-Americans from being imprisoned in internment camps during World War II. There is no legal definition for a sanctuary city or state, according to the Colorado Municipal League. Commonly, they are SEE LEGISLATION, P6

Q&A with state Rep. Joe Salazar on the bill

Salazar

What is the genesis of the bill? I started developing the bill before the election results. I started thinking about it in September, after hearing some of the rhetoric from Donald Trump. There is a mosque right by my district, and we also have a large Sikh and immigrant family populations. I have people to protect. What does the bill do? Our residents are not going to be a target and we’re not going to allow the federal government to terrorize our communities. The bill is about the state reserving its power when it comes to law enforcement. If Trump wants to target groups like Muslims or Latinos, we’re not going to use our resources to help.

Where is the bill in the process? Right now I’m still working not only with my constituents, but communities across the state. I’m still taking suggestions and hosting community meetings to hear what people think, or would like to see in the measure. I’ve also spoken with fellow legislators, both Democrats and Republicans, not about becoming a “sanctuary state,” but about protecting our states’ rights. What has the reaction been so far? Unfortunately, there has been a lot of racism coming out, and people are dismissing it without even reading it. Some think just because Trump is president they have the right to be nasty, which is not the case. What this is all about is the 10th Amendment and our state rights.

BILL FROM PAGE 5

Protecting the rights of all citizens, regardless of their background, has gained renewed importance to many minority communities not just in Colorado, but in the entire country. On Jan. 17, the Latino Democratic caucus — which includes Salazar and Senate Democratic Leader Lucia Guzman, Assistant Minority Leader Leroy Garcia, Sen. Irene Aguilar, Sen. Dominick Moreno, Speaker of the House Crisanta Duran, Rep. Adrienne Benavidez, Rep. Dan Pabon and Rep. Donald Valdez

known as government bodies that limit their cooperation with federal immigration authorities — but the city or state decides whether they take on the moniker. San Francisco, for example, calls itself a sanctuary city and prohibits employees from helping federal immigration authorities unless ordered by a court order or state law. Salazar believes his bill would protect from “government overreach” under the Trump administration, according to a draft released last month. Building welcoming communities More than 20 percent of the state’s population is Latino, according to U.S. Census numbers from July 2015. In Thornton and Northglenn, Latinos make up more than 30 percent of the cities’ populations; in Westminster, 22 percent. City spokespeople from Thornton and Northglenn declined to comment on Salazar’s proposed bill, saying it hasn’t been submitted to the Legislature yet. Westminster issued a news release last month saying “officers of the Westminster Police Department do not inquire about one’s immigration status unless it is directly related to an ongoing criminal investigation.” Nor, it said, do they take any action solely related to a person’s legal immigration status, a policy the city said it has

— released a statement about the importance of protection. “Nationally, over 900 suspected hate incidents have been reported, including several in our state,” the statement said. “Many people are also worried about potential changes that would impact people of color, immigrants, Muslims, women, members of the LGBTQ community and the environment.” The statement ends with a pledge that “Colorado does not endorse hate. We will do everything we can to protect the rights of all of our residents and to defend against any efforts that seek to harm our communities.”

Although Karen Zamora, left, and Lorraine Quintana disagree on immigration policy, it doesn’t get in the way of a lifelong friendship. AMY THOMSON practiced for decades. This was a part of a larger resolution titled “Building a welcoming community in Westminster, Colorado” that acknowledges the diversity of the city’s population and pledges to provide “public safety, health and quality of life” to all its residents, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion or other factors. The city is part of Welcoming America’s Cities and Counties Initiative, a national program that commits to implementing strategies to ensure “ongoing inclusion and long-term economic and social integration of newcomers.” “We don’t anticipate becoming a sanctuary city,” Westminster Communication and Outreach Manager Joe

Reid said. “We look at it in the holistic sense of being a welcoming community.” Although the majority of the sevenmember Westminster City Council approved the resolution, Councilmember Bruce Baker opposed it. He disagrees with any type of protections for undocumented immigrants, because he said he considers it a crime to be in the U.S. illegally. “Law enforcement has to have integrity in it,” he said. “Right now there’s no consequence to not following the rules.” Baker said he doesn’t support law officials seeking out immigrants’ legal status without cause. But he also doesn’t believe that that information should be discarded from a case. For

Differing opinions among residents Among local residents, sentiments on immigration also vary. Quintana’s longtime friend and shopping companion, Karen Zamora — who is married to a legal immigrant from Mexico — doesn’t have a problem with immigration, for the most part. “I don’t care who comes,” she said, “as long as they don’t have guns.” A 27-year-old woman from El Salvador, who asked not to be named because she said she’s undocumented, has been cleaning homes and hotels in the U.S. for 10 years. “We didn’t come here to do anything bad,” said the woman. “We came to work.” Dorothy Fernandez, who was shopping recently at a King Soopers in Thornton, fears that making Colorado a sanctuary-type state would create an unreasonable influx of undocumented immigrants. She also believes everyone should have to apply for citizenship. On the flipside, families with undocumented parents should be given priority to stay, she said. “Their parents were just coming here for a better life,” Fernandez said. “Splitting them up would be horrible.” Another Thornton resident, who supported Trump and didn’t want to be named for privacy reasons, is SEE LEGISLATION, P10

Colorado’s four-year high school graduation rate reached a six-year high last year, with some metro Denver districts that serve at-risk students showing marked improvement and others taking steps back. The on-time graduation rate for the class of 2016 was 78.9 percent, according to data released Jan. 19 by the state education department. That’s a 1.6 percentage point jump from the previous year. The state’s dropout rate also improved, falling by 0.2 percentage points. All told, 584 fewer students dropped out in 2015-16 than in the previous school year. The state’s graduation gap between students of color and white students also narrowed slightly for the sixth consecutive year. The four-year graduation rate for students of color was 71.9 percent, an increase of 1.7 percentage points from last year. The graduation rate for white students in 2016 was 84.4 percent. “The news is encouraging for the state and shows the continued dedicated commitment of students, parents, teachers and school staff,” Education Commissioner Katy Anthes said in a statement. “It is motivating that we are moving in the right direction as we all strive to have students graduate prepared for life after high school, whether that is in college or careers.” Around the metro area, some school districts saw significant increases in their graduation rates. Mapleton Public Schools, a district serving more than 8,000 students with schools in Thornton and Denver, had the largest jump, posting a 64.6 percent on-time graduation in 2016, up from 57.1 percent in 2015. w Aurora, a school district that is struggling to improve before potentially facing state sanctions in another year, also made a significant jump — graduating 65 percent of their students in 2016, up

from 59 percent in 2015. The graduation rates in both districts, despite the improvements still lag behind the state average and larger metro school districts like those in Denver and Jefferson counties. Jeffco Public Schools posted a graduation rate of 82.8 percent, virtually unchanged from the 82.9 percent in 2015. Denver’s graduation rate for 2016 is 67.2 percent, t meanwhile, is up from 64.8 percent. w Two metro area school districts, d Sheridan and Westminster saw declines e A in their graduation rates. t Westminster, a school district that after one last appeal could become the l first this year to lose accreditation because of chronic low performance, had o a graduation rate of 56.3 percent, down w f from 59.4 percent in 2015. W Oliver Grenham, chief education officer for Westminster Public Schools o said the district is not concerned with o the four-year rate. Although just 56.3 s percent of students in the district graduated after four years, another 190 n students, or 27 percent, are still enrolled m t in the district. “The number is not a surprise, in fact s s it’s what you would expect to see in a true Competency Based System where o the goal is to ensure that a high school a diploma has real value,” Grenham said n n of the four-year rate. “We are pleased with our five- and six-year graduation rates because they c show that our students who enter high a school behind their peers are staying in t school and learning what they need to c know,” he said. “As a district, we would have a much higher graduation rate if we let students walk across the stage with a D average, but that would be a disservice to them and our community. Yes, more students would graduate in four years, but they would not be prepared for the future. We are not interested in playing the numbers game.” The Sheridan School District just south and west of Denver had a 69.1 percent graduation rate, down from 75.9 percent in 2015.

Gym geared toward kids with autism opens in Arvada We Rock the Spectrum is the ﬁrst of its kind in the state BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the grand opening of We Rock the Spectrum in Arvada, children with autism played alongside children without the disorder. It was the environment that owners Amy and Abe Woszczynski envisioned when they made plans to open the franchise last year. “We’ve always wanted to be business owners, but never found anything that was worth us taking the risk until we found We Rock the Spectrum,” Amy Woszczynski said during the grand opening, Saturday, Jan. 21. We Rock the Spectrum — a franchise out of California — provides sensorysafe play for kids with autism, special needs and neurotypical development. Each gym features 10 pieces of therapeutic equipment specifically designed to work with many of the sensory processing issues that children on the spectrum face, while providing all children with the sensory-diet necessary for improved learning and neurological development. For example, the zipline helps children with vestibular sensations and sensory feedback, while allowing them to better develop upper-arm and core strength.

Almost a year later, their gym opened in Arvada as the first Colorado franchise. Arvada being their hometown, it was the couple’s first choice when opening their business. “We didn’t think we would be able to find anything affordable, but this is our community,” Abe Woszczynski said. They did at 8330 W. 80th Ave. — just behind Buffalo Wild Wings. “I just want a space where families with kids on the spectrum can come and not have to worry about leaving because their kids are acting in a certain way,” Amy Woszczynski said. She adding that the gym is a space for autistic children, but is open to all children, including siblings and friends not on the spectrum. Kate Dran of the Autism Society of

Colorado said this is a wonderful opportunity not just to raise awareness but to raise acceptance in the community. “I’m looking at kids that are developing typically and kids that are developing with autism and they’re all in here playing together,” Dran said. “A place like this has inclusion baked in.” Dran said that in the Jeffco area, she has noticed an increase in acceptance

ABOUT AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. A “spectrum disorder” means it affects each person in different ways and can range from very mild to severe. People with this condition share similar symptoms, such as problems with social interaction, but there are differences in the onset, severity and exact nature of the symptoms. National data show one out of 68 children (14.6 per 1,000) are on the autism spectrum disorder, although prevalence estimates varied widely across the country.

The Colorado monitoring project, a collaborative effort of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and JFK Partners/Developmental Pediatrics at the University of Colorado, found a slight increase over two years when the same geographic area was compared. One in 92 children aged 8 years in the seven-county Denver metropolitan area (10.8 per 1,000) had an autism spectrum disorder in 2012, compared to one in 101 (9.9 per 1,000) in 2010.

A winter run that feeds the hungry

ore than 200 runners showed up at Promenade Open Space in Westminster last weekend for some winter exercise and competition while helping out the needy at the same time. The 2-mile run on Jan. 21 was the second installment in the Six Pack Race Series, which encourages runners of every level — including beginners — to run in the winter and meet new people. The organization partners with Growing Home of Westminster, which feeds hungry families along with offering education, emotional and economical support. All racers are encouraged to bring five canned goods per event to help Growing Home’s mission. The first run took place Jan. 7. The remaining four take place on Saturdays, Feb. 4, Feb. 25, March 18 and April 1. The start point is Westminster Promenade Terrace, 10600 Westminster Blvd., on the south side of Promenade Way, across from the Westin Hotel near the fountain and the stage.

Commissioner Eva Henry elected board chair in Adams County The Adams County Board of Commissioners elected Eva J. Henry as board chair for 2017 during the board’s public hearing on Jan. 17. This election marks Henry’s second term in the role of chair. Henry, who represents District 1, also served in this capacity in 2013. Commissioner Charles “Chaz” Tedesco (District 2) was elected as vice-chair. “I am honored that Henry my peers have once again placed their trust in me to serve in this role as we continue the progress toward increasing service delivery to our residents,”

said Henry. “As a board, we are ready to continue our work with residents and the business community on the important issues across the county.” Henry was elected to the Adams County Board of Commissioners in 2012 after serving as mayor pro tem and city council member for the City of Thornton. She serves on Denver Regional Council of Governments, Adams County Housing Authority, Airport Coordinating Committee, Metro Vision, DRCOG Administrative Committee, Precious Child Committee and Children Outreach Project Board. Henry takes control of the gavel from outgoing board chair, Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio.

He plans to move back to Mexico in a few years when he retires. He has thought about trying to legally bring his family to the U.S., but he said they can’t afford the expense of the process. “I like the United States,” he said, “but I’ll go home in a few years to be with my family.”

DRILLING DOWN ON STATUS OF ADAMS COUNTY OIL WELLS More than 200 residents turned out Jan. 19 to a public meeting in Thornton to learn about the status of oil and gas wells proposed for northern Adams County. The meeting, hosted by several community organizations — LOGIC, North Metro Neighbors and Adams County Communities for Drilling Accountability Now — was held at Rocky Top Middle School. Those attending included three state legislators, two Adams County commissioners and three Thornton City Council members. Concerns ranged from the proximity of wells to homes, the state of abandoned wells in Adams County and the safe disposal of waste fluid. The meeting focused on three sites close to communities in and around Thornton. COURTESY PHOTO

THORNTON NEWS IN A HURRY Public meeting for new graduation guidelines Adams 12 Five Star Schools wants the community’s feedback about graduation requirements that will take effect with next year’s freshman class. The new guidelines are in response to new state graduation requirements. The community meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m. at Thornton High School, 9351 Washington St.

Water supply update Thornton’s water supply comes from mountain snowpack in the South Platte River basin that is captured and stored in city reservoirs in the spring when the snowpack melts. Thornton customers use the stored water throughout the year. With the recent heavy snowfalls, the snowpack increased from 44 percent of average on Dec. 2 to 133 percent of average on Jan. 9. Currently, Thornton’s storage levels are at 79.9 percent of capacity, which is typical for this

time of year. But year-to-date water usage by Thornton customers is 7.41 percent higher than last year, city officials said. Because of unusually dry and warm conditions on the Front Range in 2016, the U.S. Drought Monitor continues to place Thornton and the Front Range in moderate drought conditions. But it’s anticipated conditions will continue to improve over the winter. The city will monitor water supply conditions as well as customer usage throughout the winter.

WESTMINSTER NEWS IN A HURRY New webcam streams eagle activity City staff worked with View into the Blue to purchase a wireless webcam system powered by solar panels. United Power Electric Cooperative donated an electric pole. Installation was done in November. “We really appreciate United Power helping us out,” Open Space Division Manager Rod Larsen said. “The eagles started building a new nest in a nearby tree, so we put the pole between the trees so we could pan between the old and new nest.” A mated pair of bald eagles has nested on the northwest side of Standley Lake since 1993. The eagles, which have had eaglets the past 22 years, stay at the nest year-round. They could previously only be seen at an eagle blind a half-mile walk from the Visitor Center.

The award honors communities throughout the U.S. that demonstrate excellence in long-range planning, fiscal resource management, citizen support systems, environmental stewardship, preservation, technological integration, program planning and assessment, professional development, and agency recognition.

VOICES Retirement marks end of an era in Thornton

ast week, Thornton City Manager Jack Ethredge announced his plans to retire as of March 20 of this year. Jack first came on the scene in Thornton via South Carolina in October 1984. During his 32-year career as city manager and utility director, the City of Thornton and the community have significantly benefitted from Jack’s steady, thorough and forward-thinking leadership and management. First, it needs to be pointed out that Jack’s tenure is definitely an anomaly given the fact that the average tenure of a city manager is about four to five years. Second, he “stayed the course” along the way. At times, Thornton had some rocky political times going back to

the early days of Mayor Margaret Carpenter’s leadership. Jack has quietly, in his own style, brought Thornton to prominence with effective management practices, solid economic development and a much-enhanced image and reputation. Today, Thornton is the sixth largest city in Colorado. I have always respected Jack Ethredge in his approach, ability to communicate and his sense of fairness. I especially remember the intergovernmental agreement we negotiated together in the mid-1980s involving land in both cities divided by I-25. It took away developers being able to play one city against the other in economic development opportunities with master planning the corridor,

revenue sharing, common development codes and other relevant provisions. Kudos to Jack for his stellar career with Thornton and best wishes for a happy, relaxing retirement!! It’s about time Speaking of kudos, Gov. Hickenlooper “stepped up to the plate” with his State of the State pronouncement that he sees the need for a tax increase to provide additional needed funding for highway and bridge construction, as well as repairs. Colorado has been lagging behind for years on generating needed funds for our highway system along with local govSEE CHRISTOPHER, P13

Questions that might make us think just a bit diﬀerently

T What’s good for the Dalai Lama is good for me ALCHEMY

Andrea Doray

n December, the Dalai Lama spoke during the Emory-Tibet Symposium of Scholars and Scientists at the Drepung Monastic University in India. According to Atlanta-based Emory University, “the ultimate goal of the symposium is to build a bridge between two complementary systems of knowledge.” Why am I quoting the Emory-Tibet Symposium? Because of what the Dalai Lama said there, in an interview with CNN. Although His Holiness considers America the “leading nation of the free world,” the Dalai Lama also acknowledged that our country is a democracy where the “power is divided.”

Yes, ours is a country divided — rather than shared — in which a lot of people are angry, a lot of other people are angry at the people getting angry, and civility seems to be a veneer stretched too thin on both sides to conceal the contempt and derision below. His Holiness had offered some advice for finding equilibrium in any situation: self-compassion. As opposed to self-esteem or self-respect, self-compassion is defined by some scholars as open to and touched by our own troubles, worries or fears, and yet not avoiding them or disconSEE DORAY, P13

here are two old proverbs I would like to share with you this week. The first is this, “An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends WINNING and against all sound WORDS judgment starts quarrels.” And the second one is this, “Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airMichael Norton ing their own opinions.” Well since typically I share my opinions way too often in these columns, I thought maybe this week I would shift it up a little bit and ask more questions as opposed to sharing opinions and observations. And is it OK if I ask you to write back and answer or respond to any or all of the questions posed? The first question I would pose would be around another famous thought shared by many authors and experts, “Seek first to understand and then to be understood.” What has happened to us as a nation

as we have endured this past election season and outcome of the election? Have we really forgotten to seek first and then to be understood? The second proverb I quoted above seems to capture this, and unfortunately and rightly so has found us playing the role of the fool and worried more about airing our own opinions than seeking to understand others. Long before the election, leading up to the election, and now post-election, there have been stories of marriages ending, friendships being destroyed, business partners separating, siblings who have stopped communicating, co-workers refusing to work together or even talk. There has been documented violence that speaks to the first proverb I shared, “An unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels.” The questions are just too many to list in a short weekly column, so let’s just start with a few questions, shall we? Is this who we have become? Have we become a society and culture that now relies on the freedom and accessibility that

ernment revenue-sharing. It takes “political guts” to step up and take such a stand involving a tax increase. Such delayed leadership is still appreciated. Now, let’s hope our State Legislature will have the same intestinal fortitude to pass the legislation to place a tax proposition on the November 2017 ballot. Hopefully, this ballot action won’t get road-blocked between the two houses of the Legislature. Recall election coming up The political rhetoric is heating up in Federal Heights.

social media outlets provide to air our own selfish opinions? Have we come to the point where we don’t even form our own opinions or sound judgment because we rely on what we hear or read through the posts of others? Some we know and some we have never met. I mean day in and day out someone invariably shares with me that they have deleted more friends from their Facebook account because they can no longer stand the rhetoric. I wonder if that might be an interesting statistic for Facebook to share, how many people have been unfriended over the past few months? In the continued spirit of asking questions instead of pontificating, when did we stop thinking for ourselves? Now I am not saying that everyone has, but would you

necting from them. An important piece of self-compassion is to be nonjudgmental about what is causing us pain, even when we mess up or are experiencing some other form of emotional pain. In our divided world, we are beyond judgmental with each other. We are vitriolic in our name-calling, our shaming, our senses of entitlement. We are so certain of our own beliefs that anyone — and I mean anyone — who stands for an opposing viewpoint becomes a target of scorn and hate. The divisions are sharp, wide, deep. No wonder so many of us feel a bit battered, bruised. In the interview, His Holiness said that, basically, “nothing exists as it appears,” and I’m reminded of a graphic I saw of an intersection where a car, a bicycle and a pedestrian appear to be on a collision course. Thought bubbles tell us what’s going on for each. To paraphrase, the woman at the wheel of the car is fretting because her child is sick and she had to leave work. The person on the bike is wondering where next

address safe and habitable living conditions in rental housing. In this case, the opposition is special interests and hard-core anti-government advocates. The target in this case is not the direct repeal of Federal Heights’ Rental Inspection Program, which imposes minimum standards on rental property owners, but two key proponents of the program. Mayor Daniel Dick and Mayor Pro Tem John Hamlin are the targets in a recall election which has been set for Feb. 7. I previously wrote back in November about a petition drive to trigger the recall, which concluded in the City Clerk finding the petitions to have sufficient valid signatures. According to City personnel, it will be a mail-in ballot election with the opportunity to drop off your ballot at City Hall. There are plenty of documented

examples where safe and/or habitable living conditions were lacking. Let’s hope the voters will support the merits of retaining the Rental Inspection Program.

agree that there seems to be a lot of jumping on some else’s bandwagon going on? Do you think we should start or maybe just get back to having sound judgment and making our own decisions based on our own true belief systems instead of being held hostage of the belief systems of others? Do you think that if we found our way back to staying true to our belief systems, and if we took the time to listen and seek to understand others first that we may save a few marriages, friendships, working relationships, and heartache? For me the final question is this, “Is it time for change?” And not the “Hope and Change” of a campaign speech, and not the change that a new president may or may not bring about. I am asking if it’s time to change for us? For you? For me? For all of us? Is it time to be reminded that an unfriendly person pursues selfish ends and against all sound judgment starts quarrels? And should we also think about the fact

that it is fools finding no pleasure in understanding, but that they delight in airing their own opinions?

month’s rent will come from, and the pedestrian is preoccupied with his own medical problem. They are unaware, of course, of each other’s struggles. Each of us faces our own battles, every day. So this means that everyone else we meet or interact with or email or text or, or, or … is also fighting some sort of battle, that may or may not have anything to do with political divisions. I’m not sure which needs to come first, though, compassion for self or compassion for others, in which we are touched by someone else’s suffering, we are aware of their pain, and we are not judging them. Clearly, neither is easy, or we’d all be fine all the time! It is possible for us in America to “build a bridge between two complementary systems of knowledge”? Can we practice compassion, including selfcompassion, for better understanding of the other sides of the divide? For my part, starting this weekend — oh, mercy, starting right now! — I’m going to practice self-compassion. If it’s good for the Dalai Lama, it is definitely good for me! Andrea Doray is a writer who finds that it really does take work … and that’s why it’s called practice! Contact her at a.doray@andreadoray.com.

Sadly folding the tent For so many years, what appealed and excited people from ages 3 to 93? What brought us such a variety of entertainment in three arenas all for the price of a single ticket? What was known as the “Greatest Show on Earth”? Sadly, the owner of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has announced the “final curtain” for an institution that brought joy, excitement, anticipation and lots more to Americans all over the country for 146 years. Because of a variety of factors,

including a major drop in attendance after the elephants were removed from the show, rising costs and Americans turning their entertainment interests to electronic media and other sources, the circus finally ran its course. It’s a sad day for our society. As a boy in Springfield, Missouri, I can remember my excitement in seeing the circus acts, wild animals and absorbing the whole hype of something unusual. As grandparents, it was our joy to take our two grandsons to the circus at the Coliseum in Denver to experience that same excitement through them. I will miss the circus as we lose a piece of our American fabric. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Civilians get a taste of

militaryexercise style Carrying weighted packs helps mix up ﬁtness routines BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ruby Herrera has brought an aspect of her military training into her fitness regimen. Rucking — carrying a weighted pack — is a trendy exercise with unglamorous roots in the military, where it is a staple of training. Part of the test for U.S. Army infantry soldiers to earn the coveted Expert Infantryman Badge is to complete a 20-kilometer march carrying a 35-pound rucksack, along with other gear, within three hours. “I love using a variety of training to stay conditioned,” said Herrera, a Colorado Springs resident and security forces specialist in the Air Force Reserve. “Rucking is the perfect addition to any type of programming I might be involved with.” Former Army Special Forces soldier Jason McCarthy of Jacksonville, Florida, brought rucking to the masses in 2008 when he founded GORUCK after leaving the service. There are now hundreds of GORUCK events across the U.S. and in Europe, including several in Colorado. However, ruck march challenges go back long before McCarthy started. One of the most popular events is the annual Bataan Memorial Death March, which dates to 1989 and pays homage to U.S. and Filipino prisoners of war who were forced by the Japanese Imperial Army to march 60 to 70

A Marine Corps veteran carries his rucksack on the Chicago Honor the Fallen Ruck March in 2015. The Memorial Day Weekend event saw 450 people march 22 miles. COURTESY U.S. ARMY

RUCKING EVENTS

Proponents of rucking say that the weighted pack can also be used in alternative workouts. Here are a few movements GORUCK says you can do with a rucksack:

Overhead weighted sit-ups: Hold the pack over your head while doing sit-ups.

miles with little food or water in 1942, during which thousands died. Sponsored by the New Mexico State University ROTC department and the New Mexico National Guard, the memorial march is held at White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico and gives participants an option of a 14.2mile route and a 26.2-mile one, carrying a 35-pound pack.

lenges hosted by GORUCK. He has since started his own organization that hosts ruck events around the Front Range, Burden Operation Company. “Anybody can do it,” Tatham said. “You can throw on a halfway decent backpack.” Obstacle course racing is another fitness trend with close ties to the armed forces, with military installations, including Colorado’s Fort Carson, hosting events for Spartan Race, the largest entity in the young sport. Aaron Varcasio, who coaches Crossfit and high-intensity interval training workouts at FIT Littleton and has taken part in GORUCK events, said that rucking can be an effective cardio alternative to running as well as a form of strength training. “It challenges you because you’re used to hiking without weight,” he said.

Upcoming events: March 3 and 4, Pueblo March 11, Boulder May 5 and 6, Colorado Springs June 2 and 3, Boulder June 30 and July 1, Denver July 28 and 29, Fort Collins Sept. 8 and 9, Colorado Springs

A cardio-strength workout Now, rucking draws servicemembers, veterans and civilians alike who want to bring diversity to their exercise routines. “It’s portable,” James Finch, of Lakewood, said. “You don’t need a gym.” Finch, 39, started rucking about two years ago as a way to challenge himself. It fits neatly with his other fitness passion, obstacle course racing. “When I take the dogs for a walk, I throw the ruck on,” he said. GORUCK says that rucking can burn as many calories as running, while allowing people of different abilities to do it together by carrying different weights. Finch credits fellow obstacle course racing enthusiast David Tatham with introducing him to it. Tatham, of Henderson, said he began rucking in 2012, when he first signed up for one of the chal-

Challenging the mind, too Herrera sees rucking as the perfect way to train both mentally and physically. “Rucking has taught me that my body is capable of so much more than my mind had previously restricted me to,” she said. “I can add a ruck to almost any activity and see huge improvements all around. I love the feeling of pure

He spent 11 days in the intensive care unit and another 20 in inpatient rehab. He recovered from his stroke to go on to complete in several Spartan Race obstacle course events in 2016. From Finch’s point of view, rucking is easier on his knees and ankles than running and carries a lower risk of injury. Finch used to carry nearly 50 pounds in his ruck, but he’s still working on getting back to form following his stroke. “It makes life easier when you’re doing anything else — you take it off and you’re lighter,” he said. “You feel like you can run 100 mph when you’re done rucking.”

Cowboy poetry event channels western spirit Annual state event oﬀers a cultural counterpoint to Stock Show week BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Reciting a poem about the good ol’ cowboy days, Floyd Beard opens the evening’s performances at the VIP Sampler Show of the 2017 Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering on Jan. 19 at Miner’s Alley Playhouse. The 28th annual gathering’s main events took place Jan. 20-22 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden. CHRISTY STEADMAN

It’s not only the stellar performances of cowboy — and cowgirl — poetry and songs that attract folks to the annual Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering. It’s the people. “I love meeting all the great entertainers,” said Jeff Loker, who sits on the board of directors for the gathering. “They’re a lot of unique people you don’t meet in today’s world.” The 28th annual Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering took place Jan. 19-22 in Golden. Kicking off the event was a VIP, family reunion style meet-and-greet reception on Jan. 19 at the Table Mountain Inn, followed by a special sampler show at Miners Alley Playhouse. The gathering’s many performances took place throughout the weekend at the American Mountaineering Center. People come from all over the metro area and beyond to perform, and to listen. This year’s performers included folks from Canada, Australia and across the western states. Spectators enjoyed an entire

weekend filled with stories — in poetry form and song — on horsemanship, cattle drives, campfires and fences, old cowboy hats, ranchers and their wives, neighbors and friends. “A lot of magic comes out of the Colorado Cowboy Gathering,” said cowgirl performer Liz Masterson, a Colorado native. She mentioned this year, everyone was celebrating two marriages that recently occurred among the gathering’s regular performers. R.D. and Barb Melfi, also known as Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley, would normally be quite busy this weekend because of the National Western Stock Show in Denver. But because this year is the 100th anniversary of the famous Wild West showman’s death, they have been too busy with Buffalo Bill stuff, Barb Melfi said. And besides, she added, “these are all our friends. We can’t ignore our friends.” The historical aspect of the gathering can date back to at least the 1800s, said Lindsey Calvert of Denver who works as one of the event’s stage managers — a role she’s had for 11 years. Calvert encourages everyone who enjoys western tradition to come and support the performers at the gathering, she said. “The only way this type of event can continue is for people to attend every year,” she said.

Linda Matthews of Wheat Ridge attended the VIP event and Saturday performances this year. She especially enjoyed cowgirl performer Kristyn Harris’ yodeling. “It was an expression of pure joy,” Matthews said. Matthews, who has been attending the event for 15 years, said he likes that the gathering features a variety of acts, and appreciates that each performer provides a view into traditional Western culture. “I never lived on a ranch,” Matthews said, “so it’s fun to get a little sample of that lifestyle.” Denver is not like New York or some of the other major cities in the U.S., said Fred Powell of Denver, who, along with his wife Dianne, has been attending the gathering since 1995. “Colorado is the west,” he said. “Here we have history. And the gathering is history coming to life.” Rex Rideout of Conifer loves the old cowboy songs, he said, which he and Mark Gardner perform as a duo act at the gathering. He described it as the music of the first American cowboys. And as with any culture, it’s important to preserve the past, Rideout said. “In this country, we tend to race forward and not look back,” he said. “But some of us save what we can.”

This traveling film festival spotlights the work of a diverse array of talented women filmmakers with intelligent, funny and thought-provoking themes. “If there are women in your life or if you are a woman, give Luna Fest a chance,” said Matt Garcia, RRCC Foundation program coordinator. “It’s a phenomenal, empowering event and you’ll leave feeling refreshed.” Garcia said that as a man with four sisters who grew up in a household with strong female choices, he find the films at Luna Fest each year to be relatable and empowering. “They aren’t gender specific,” he said. “Everyone can relate to overcoming a challenge and thats what the Luna Fest films do. They help you make that human connections and move past whatever those challenges are.”

Jeffco teacher pay lags behind surrounding districts School district wrestles with how to retain quality teachers BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In Colorado, the average teacher salary varies from more than $71,500 in Boulder — well above the national average of $36,141 — to just over $23,000 in several rural districts. In Jefferson County Public Schools, the average teacher salary is $54,923. “Our concern is ensuring the district is competitive with surrounding districts and is able to attract and retain high quality, experienced educators,” said Paula Reed, a member of the Jefferson County Education Association board. “Right now, Jeffco is lagging behind surrounding districts and we are losing great educators, which hurts our students.” With the failure of the $33 million mill levy override and $535 million bond package that the Jeffco Board of Education presented to voters Nov. 8, teacher compensation is once again at the forefront of issues concerning the district. The board has named it as a top priority going into next year’s budget. But Amy Weber, the district’s chief human resources officer, said she’s worried any pay increase the district can offer now may be too little, too late. Of five surrounding districts, Jeffco ranks lowest in teacher compensation. “My focus has been really clear on how much other districts can offer midcareer teachers to come work in their districts,” said Weber, adding that her goal is always to get a mix of new and

experienced teachers. First-year teachers in Jeffco earn a base salary of $38,000. While this is higher than Littleton Public Schools, which offers $36,000, and Adams 12 Five Star Schools, which offers $33,000, it falls below Denver Public Schools, Cherry Creek School District and Boulder School District, the other three districts Jeffco compares itself to. Starting salaries for teachers in Denver are $39,850, $38,146 in Cherry Creek and $43,591 in Boulder. For third-year teacher Kendall Bolton, the decision to start her teacher career in Jeffco was easy. She grew up in Arvada, where she took a job teaching second grade at Van Arsdale Elementary. “I was born and raised in Arvada and really loved the education I received here,” Bolton said. “That was one of the big reasons I wanted to teach in Jeffco, to show the opportunities here.” Bolton’s passion for Jeffco and making a difference in her community outweighed the extra dollars she could have made had she started her career in a different district. But as her career progresses and she plans for her future, Bolten is beginning to reconsider. “I’m trying to save money to buy a house,” Bolten said. “With the amount of money I make now, I can barely save a substantial amount of money. I want to have a family, but that won’t work if I stay in Jeffco with the way teacher compensation is going right now.” Thinking about leaving Jeffco is a tough decision for Bolten. “My passion is in Jeffco,” she said. “But when it comes down to my life and starting a family, I don’t know if I will be able to stay if we don’t see some changes soon.” Bolten said competitive compensa-

“My focus has been really clear on how much other districts can offer mid-career teachers to come work in their districts.”

Amy Weber Chief human resources officer, Jeffco Schools

tion could keep teachers like her in the district. But the trouble, Weber said, is that Jeffco’s salary is lower than those surrounding districts across the board with teachers that have seven or eight years experience. “That’s were we’re particularly not competitive in the marketplace,” Weber said. A teacher with a bachelor’s degree and eight years of teaching experience that earns $44,943 in Jeffco would make $55,080 in Cherry Creek. Jeffco is last on the scale with teachers who have prior experience. One of the reasons for this is that Jeffco only honors five years of teaching experience on its salary scale. Weber said this causes mid-career teachers to leave the district. Although the years may differ among districts, many generally honor about 10 years experience. A specific example Weber gave was a teacher with her master’s degree and nine years teaching experience. In Jeffco, her salary is $58,000. If she moved to Littleton Public Schools, Weber said, it would be about the same. But if she moved to the Cherry Creek district, it would be $60,000 and if she moved to Boulder, it would be $75,000. In Adams 12 Five Star Schools and Denver Public Schools, Weber said her salary would improve by $5,000 and $7,000, respectively. “When you’re making $58,000, $5,000 matters,” Weber said. “But more problematic, if she went to Cherry Creek, it would only take nine more years to max out at $80,000. It would take 22 years in Jeffco.” Reed, of the teachers’ union, has taught at Columbine High School for more than 30 years and has seen the ups and downs of teacher compensation in Jeffco.

“A number of years ago, the teachers voted to voluntarily take pay cuts for a while and so we fell way behind in the course of that,” Reed said. “While other districts have caught up, Jeffco has not. So it’s getting a lot harder to keep young teachers because they can get more money elsewhere.” At the end of her career, Reed said she wants to know that she is leaving her program — ACE, an at-risk intervention program — in capable hands. “Not the teachers that are left after other districts have their pick,” she said. Reed said she has seen younger, capable co-workers leave the district to better provide for themselves and their families. “It’s only fair for somebody who is 26 years old to have their own apartment and not have to have roommates,” Reed said. “When you can go work for another district and can afford to live someplace by yourself, or when you are young and starting a family, it would almost be irresponsible to your family if you didn’t.” The board of education has made it clear that having effective teachers in the classroom is the single most important focus. But Weber is clear that if teacher compensation is not competitive with surrounding districts, then effective and experienced teachers will continue to leave for other districts. Reed believes the same. “It may be impossible to completely catch up,” Reed said. “But to make significant strides in that direction show teachers that they’re valued and we really do want to keep them… I think teachers will be patient. But they do need to make significant strides. Teacher compensation needs to be priority spending.”

Young rider the wheel deal

Weston Short, of Standley Lake, looks to turn Spencer Cleavy on his back during a 152-pound Gators dual meet with Fossil Ridge at the Jan. 21 Jaguar Invitational Dual Match Tournament at Rock Canyon High School. Short won the match 14-2 and the Gators finished eighth in the field of 10 teams. TOM MUNDS

Gators take eighth in mat tourney Young Standley Lake wrestlers wins two of ﬁve matches BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Standley Lake wrestlers, wearing the distinctive blue-and-green singlets, made their presence known during a fierce full day of bouts, finishing eighth in the 10-team field at the Jan. 21 Jaguars Invitational Dual Match Wrestling Tournament at Rock Canyon High School. The tournament was run on a dual match pool format with each team wrestling four opponents. The teams were then seeded according to pool records. Valor had three wins and a tie in pool matches to earn a spot against Eaglecrest in the placement match for the meet championship.

Standley Lake finished 2-and-2 in pool matches and advanced to face George Washington for seventh place. The Gators lost to GW 60-12 so they finished eighth. The Gators didn’t cover all 14 weights, so opponents scored points on forfeits in all five dual matches. But coaches adjusted the lineups and 15 Standley Lake wrestlers saw action during the tournament. “We are a very young team fighting through the season. We are taking it day by day and let the kids develop their wrestling skills each and every day,” Gators Coach Eloy Martinez said during the tournament. “We are doing real well and working to encourage the wrestlers to focus on the winning mind set and motivation in practice and in competition.” Martinez said he has coached wrestling at Standley Lake for three years but this is his first season as head coach.

“We have a solid foundation and we are looking to build a strong wrestling program at Standley Lake,” he said. “We are fortunate former head coach Rich Talmich is helping with the youth wrestling program that is starting to be a source of young kids coming to our team who know the fundamentals of wrestling.” Gator wrestler Weston Short, who also plays soccer, decided to wrestle as a way to condition. “Wrestling makes you stronger, particularly the hip muscles, and I feel it helps me when I play soccer,” he said. “I do like wrestling, but I play soccer the rest of the year.” Short said he likes to be on his feet when wrestling. “I am pretty good on my feet,” the junior said. “But there are a lot of things I can do when I am on the mat. I just try to make quick, strong moves whether I am on my feet or we are on the mat.”

She contributed 17 points and six assists in a 62-39 conquest of Adams City on Jan. 20. Kylie Jimenez, basketball, senior, Horizon: Jimenez scored 24 points as the Hawks posted a 57-45 Front Range League win over Fossil Ridge on Jan. 20. Mike Polson, basketball, junior, Mountain Range: Polson did a little bit of everything

in the 70-62 win on Jan. 17 over Legacy. He scored a team-high 16 points, pulled down six rebounds and had six assists. Cipriana Guzman, basketball, senior, Westminster: In a 67-51 loss to Rangeview in the 5A/4A East Metro League on Jan. 20, Guzman scored 15 points, had five of the team’s six steals and led the team with three assists.

STANDOUT PERFORMERS For week of Jan. 16-21 Kyle Helbig, basketball, sophomore, Holy Family: He scored 43 points in two games as the Tigers took over first place in the 4A Tri Valley League.

hen Ashley Zoerner said that she started riding her bike without training wheels when she was 3, I figured she must be a pretty good cyclist. And for a change, I was right. Zoerner, a senior OVERTIME at SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch, won the Junior Women’s 17-18 Cyclocross National Championship, held Jan. 3-8 in Hartford, Connecticut. It took Zoerner 39 minutes, 43 seconds Jim Benton to finish on the course covered with snow, ice and ruts. She was seventh overall in the Women’s U23 division and earned a spot in the 2017 Bieles UCI Cyclocross World Championships Jan. 28 and 29 in Bieles, Luxembourg. Cyclocross is an off-road event in which riders can encounter grass, dirt, mud, gravel, sand, hills and sometimes snow. Courses include barriers no more than 18 inches tall and cyclists often put their bikes on their shoulders to get over barriers and through thick mud. “The toughest part of a race is when I have to do a lot of running,” Zoerner said. “We usually have to get off our bikes and run over barriers. Anything you can’t ride over, you have to get off your bike.” Zoerner, who plans to go to college next year and hopes to get on professional teams for both road cycling and cyclocross, has her sights set on a good finish in the world championships. “I hope to be competitive, ideally in the top 20,” she said. “This is my first year and I’m one of the youngest girls competing in the category. I just want to have a good race and see if I can compete on the international level.”

Drawing attention It’s sometimes hard to get attention while playing on a basketball team that is struggling. Littleton’s Sam Kail and Garrett Martin of Standley Lake are two of those under-publicized players — but they haven’t been overlooked by opposing defenses. Kail, a 5-foot-10 senior, is scoring 18.6 points a game for the 1-12 Lions. Coach Ryan Fletcher points out that Kail is the focus for opposing defenses and he’s had to work hard for shots and been forced to shoot from farther out this season. Still, he has scored 20 or more points in seven games. Martin, a 6-foot junior, is scoring 19.5 points per game for the 2-13 Gators. “He’s a special athlete and a better person,” coach Mike Puccio said. SEE BENTON, P22

CLOSE GAME

Skyview girls lose in upset against Fort Morgan But Hawks notch a league win against Conifer later in the week BY SCOTT STOCKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

THORNTON – Baskets were hard to come by for both the Fort Morgan and the home-standing Skyview girls in their Class 4A Colorado 7 League encounter on Jan. 17. As a result, visiting Fort Morgan was came through with an upset 41-27 victory. The win enabled the Mustangs to gain the league lead, improving to 3-0 in league and 7-7 overall. Skyview dropped to 1-1, 7-3, in the Woverines’ third loss in their last four games. However, Skyview rebounded with a 61-48 non-league win over Manual on Jan. 19 as Monique Esquibel scored 20 points. And the Hawks notched a league win Jan. 20 when they scored an overtime 35-33 win against Conifer. In the Fort Morgan game, the use of a full-court press was effective in keeping the scoring down by both teams. Skyview was held to a single basket in the second quarter and only two from the floor in the third quarter. But Fort Morgan really didn’t do that much better. Fort Morgan, coached by Andy Schon, only scored eight points in the second quarter, thus building a 16-12 halftime lead. But the Mustangs doubled Skyview in the third quarter, 12-6, and tallied a 13-9 margin in the fourth. Skyview, coached by Christopher Kemm, fashioned a 10-8 lead in the first quarter, but the Wolverines’ offense suffered though the next three quarters. Ironically, only once in the game was there a three-point basket. This one was by Skyview’s Karizma Garcia, the only player for the Wolverines to reach double figures with 11. Fort Morgan’s Haley Lewis led the way in scoring for the Mustangs as

she tallied 17 points. Allie Christensen was her only teammate to join in double figures with 10 points. “We couldn’t stop Lewis tonight and we should have put up more of a major fight,” said Kemm. “We didn’t attempt enough shots and we had several opportunities taken away from us. In the second half we just didn’t seem to play smart defense. “We know each other and we’ve always played tough,” Kemm continued. “It’s only the second game that we have allowed more than 40 points to be scored against us. We’ll win a lot of tough games, but in the second half tonight, we didn’t have it.” Fort Morgan finally went ahead to stay with 1:37 left in the second quarter on a basket by Christensen that gave the Mustangs a 14-12 lead. It was a tough night for Skyview’s Kristina Kemm, the coach’s daughter. She only scored two points, but did come through with a pretty solid night on defense. “We just didn’t have enough energy on defense tonight,” said Kemm, a senior. “I think we’ve had a pretty good season so far and we’ve been able to play smart together. Tonight, it just wasn’t there.” Esquibel and sophomore Sophia Trujillo had pretty good nights on defense as well. But like the rest of their teammates, the ball just didn’t fall in their favor. “We need to take more great shots,” said Esquibel, who had four points. “Our offense seemed to be there, but not in the way we wanted. Fort Morgan had some good work underneath and had their shots and they played us pretty strong under their basket.” “I just think we should have been more aggressive, but they gave us a tough game,” said Trujillo. “Our excitement was there, but we just couldn’t get the shots we needed, and the ones we did just didn’t go in. I think we will bounce back. Our season has been pretty good, though. We just need to stay aggressive.”

Mountain Range guard Ricky Valadez (22) looks to drive against Legacy’s Ryan Overboe during the Jan. 17 game between the two schools in Westminster. The Mustangs defeated the visiting Lightning, 70-62, but lost to Fort Collins 70-44 on Jan. 20. PHOTOS BY STEFAN BRODSKY Mountain Range guard Mike Polson looks for an open teammate despite defensive pressure from Legacy’s Jack Olsen during firstquarter action.

Girls-only tournament set Chatfield will host the second girlsonly wrestling tournament Jan. 28. The girls tournaments planned for Highlands Ranch and Silver Creek were canceled. “Yes we were trying to hold one but got very little response from other schools,” Highlands Ranch Athletic Director Bruce Wright said. The first female tournament that

was held in Frederick on Jan. 14 drew 80 girls from 42 schools. Girls interested in competing in the event at Chatfield must be members of their high school teams but they do not have to have been on the team since the beginning of the season. They need to have had five practices before competing. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968.

You have a right to appear as a party in this proceeding.

The parent shall be advised that the hearings may go forward in the absence of the parent, guardian or Indian custodian and may result in the termination of parental rights based upon the record and evidence presented.
