SCHOOL SHOOTING

Legislators review Arapahoe reports Lawmakers say implementation of recommendations is critical

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Desiree Davis sat stoically as the state school-safety committee she helped create, and of which she is a member, listened to painful facts revealed by three separate studies into what led to the death of her daughter, Claire.

But stress was evident and heartbreaking in the voice of Claire’s father, Michael Davis, as

School district faces critique head on Arapahoe High principal says she is sorry for what happened

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a meeting like no other of the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education.

On Jan. 21, the crowd spilled out of the board room and into the foyer. Reporters and news cameras flanked one wall. Two former board members formally joined the five current ones, and there were others in the audience. Arapahoe County Sheriff Dave

Walcher sat next to District Attorney George Brauchler, up front and center.

As they all watched, Arapahoe High School Principal Natalie Pramenko approached the podium. Through tears, she said she was deeply sorry for the tragic loss of Claire Davis, who was shot to death by a fellow classmate on Dec. 13, 2013.

“She would be proud to know that the Arapahoe High School spirit is alive and well,” said Pramenko. “… Claire’s spirit lives on in the hallways.”

It was the first time she had ever publicly apologized.

She was followed by Superintendent Brian

Ewert, who acknowledged that even he had questions about how such a tragedy could have happened when he took over the district last summer.

“There are topics in this report that the community is simply entitled to hear,” he said.

Four experts reviewed their findings, which weren’t all easy to hear. The door the killer walked through was supposed to be locked. Behavior wasn’t thoroughly documented or followed up on. There is a culture that promotes “groupthink.” Teachers don’t always get listened to. Kids could have been District continues on Page 6

Michael Davis lost his daughter, Claire, in a shooting at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, 2013. Here are comments he made to the state School Safety and Youth in Crisis Committee, which he and his wife, Desiree, helped create through legislation. On Jan. 22, the committee reviewed three separate reports developed through an arbitration agreement between the Davises and Littleton Public Schools.

He thanked, among other, the committee, the researchers and district and school staff. He gave the following comments: “These reports show that now, more than ever before, schools play a crucial role in identifying troubled students and directing them to the resources they need to receive help. All school districts, not just Littleton Public Schools, must be held accountable for carrying out this responsibility, and successful change will not be found in placing blame, pointing fingers at individuals, making excuses or making schools less tolerant and more punitive. Successful change in helping kids in crisis will only be realized when all schools embrace the recommendations in these reports in a mindful, caring, professional and prompt manner...

“Now is the time for parents of public school students across the state to let their voice be heard.

Now is the time for school administrators and state legislators to take the recommendations in these reports and implement them, to put into practice the things we’ve learned from past tragedies so that all of our children are safe from harm in our public schools.”

Freedom Service Dogs sniffs out new home

Englewood nonprofit preps for move to Centennial facility

This building in Centennial will become the new home of Freedom Service Dogs.

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Freedom Service Dogs organization plans to leave its facilities on West Union Avenue in Englewood and move into a new, larger building in Centennial near Arapahoe Road and Jordan Road.

The nonprofit organization rescues dogs from shelters and provides customized training so dogs can assist people with physical disabilities with tasks like opening doors and turning on lights. Dogs are also trained to become companions to aid people with emotional conditions.

The organization has been in Englewood since 2008 and plans to move into the new facility in late spring or early summer.

“Freedom Service Dogs bought the 22,000-square-foot building that will about double the square footage we have now,” said Erin Conley, FSD public information officer. “There also is about an acre of land adjacent to the building that will give us a lot more outside space for the dogs. Englewood has been very good to us, but the move means we will have the space we need to eventually increase the number of dogs we can train and give to our clients.”

Conley said in 2010 plans were considered to expand the facility on West Union Avenue, but the proposal didn’t work out.

“It was about that time we started our capital campaign to raise money to buy a new building,” she said. “We raised $2.4 million, money that was used to buy the land and building at what will be our new location.”

Freedom Service Dogs launched a second effort late last year to raise funds needed to retrofit the building to meet the organization’s needs. The goal was to raise $2.5 million.

The effort got a boost from the Anschutz Foundation, which offered to match donations dollar for dollar up to $500,000. The match is good for all dona-

tions made before April 30. Conley said those who want to support the project can go to the website www.freedomservicedogs.org.

Brianne Corbett, director dog operations, said the move will meet a pressing need.

“We have limited space here to train and exercise the dogs,” she said. “The

new facility will be large enough to provide more area to work with the dogs and with our clients.”

She said the location is accessible as there is an RTD bus stop right outside the front door.

“We will have more land for outside facilities for our dogs,” Corbett said. “Also, there are a lot of nearby stores and shops

where we can take our dogs on training trips where there are a lot of people and a lot of activities.”

About 25 to 35 dogs a year receive training in skills to meet the needs of specific clients. Once the dog and the client complete the training, the dog is given to the client free of charge.

All the dogs that go through training are rescued from shelters. Freedom Service Dogs gets calls from organizations like Safe Harbor Lab Rescue and the Humane Society of the South Platte when they rescue dogs that may be candidates for the FSD training program.

The dogs then undergo a series of tests, and animals that pass are moved to the training facility.

Only about 50 percent of the candidates complete the training, which takes about eight months and costs about $25,000. However, FSD makes sure that those dogs that do not move forward in training find good homes.

FSD was founded in 1987 and has transformed from a small, two-person organization to one of the leading service dog training organizations in the country.

Leg veins are not just a cosmetic concern David M. Verebelyi, MD Medical Director Colorado Skin & Vein Over 50% of patients who have tiny visible leg veins actually have deeper vein problems that can lead to other medical issues.

Leg veins have internal valves that keep blood headed back to the heart against gravity. When these valves fail, one of the first signs can be growth of small, superficial vessels visible on the skin or larger varicose veins. Unfortunately, other more serious issues such as blood clots, leg pain, aching, swelling, night time leg cramping, Restless Leg Syndrome, skin color changes and even skin ulcers can develop due to these damaged vessels.

The good news is that a simple, painless ultrasound covered by your insurance can identify the root cause of the problem and determine the best course of action. The average provider on our vein team has over 12 years’ experience diagnosing and treating vein issues. With our experience and wide range of treatment options, you can be assured that you will receive the best care available. Call today to schedule an appointment for you or for someone you love.

New council member School district wins literacy ready to serve citizens grant for special-ed students

Candace Moon takes over in Centennial’s District 1

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Candace Moon, new council member for Centennial District 1, is looking forward to spending more time with her husband, previous council member Vorry Moon.

“Our kids are grown, and we are at the point where we can spend time with each other and not worry about them,” she said.

They have a blended family of seven children and 11 grandchildren.

Moon — who was elected in November to succeed her husband, whose time on council was over because of term limits — was raised in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She went to one of two high schools in the small town and then a community college that is now part of the University of Arkansas system.

She joined the Air Force, where she received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration and developed a strong sense of independence.

“You go in and you can’t just go with the flow,” she said. “You really have to work to set yourself apart and rely on yourself.”

Moon learned the importance of self-reliance and collaborating with people from all walks of life, she said.

She then opted for a change of pace and worked in the accounting department of Gerber Products, the baby food manufacturer.

“It was quite fun,” she said. “I was in an office of mostly women — maybe two guys. We had a very easy work environment. We got our work done and then we were free to do other things.”

Moon moved to Wichita, Kansas, and worked as a recruiter for the Air

National Guard. She met Vorry, who was stationed in Fort Worth, Texas, with the Air Force. Shortly after, the two moved to Colorado to begin a life together.

Candace Moon said she’s looking forward to serving the city.

She plans to first focus on the “Bee Initiative,” a possible implementation of a beekeeping ordinance in the city.

“I’m unsure of the Moon outcome, but it’s an area we need to pay attention to, because the bee population in our country is greatly reduced due to pesticides and environmental factors,” she said.

Candace Moon is welcomed to District 1 by her counterpart, Kathy Turley.

Vorry Moon was a mentor who will be missed, Turley said, but she’s confident in the new council member’s skill set.

“Candace is coming in with a lot of knowledge — further along than most new council members,” Turley said.

That’s because city council is regularly talked about in the Moon household, according to Candace. She and her husband are “both very interested in what goes on in Centennial.”

Aside from work, Candace Moon enjoys playing board games and driving through The Streets at SouthGlenn.

She appreciates the walkability and landscaping of the city.

“We don’t have to necessarily drive our cars because we have retail and schools right in our neighborhood,” she said. “In that respect, we are where a lot of other cities are trying to grow.”

Her next step is to get in contact with the citizens of District 1.

“I think that serving on city council is a privilege,” she said. “And I’m very honored to do this.”

Fewer than half of youngest children achieve growth goals

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Littleton Public Schools will put a $150,000 grant from the state toward an effort to raise the literacy rates of its students with disabilities.

“We do have some work to do,” Melissa Cooper, director of special education, told the LPS Board of Education on Jan. 14.

Data from the spring of 2014 shows that fewer than half of kids with disabilities in preschool through third grade met growth expectations. Just 29 percent of kindergartners achieved that goal.

“It’s critical that we provide them with support,” said Cooper.

To that end, the grant is being used, essentially, to teach teachers how to teach reading to the special-ed kids.

“Teachers are not born knowing how to teach reading,” said Cooper. “We have to learn how. Teachers deserve to study, rehearse and practice with supportive feedback.”

More than 80 teachers from across the district will attend two full days of training from a specialist, along with a series of

after-school meetings. One full day will be spent with Debbie Arechiga, a nationally recognized literacy specialist.

“Content learning doesn’t exist in isolation,” Arechiga wrote in an article for Educational Leadership, a publication of ASCD, formerly the Assocation for Supervision and Curriculum Development.

“People learn by relating new knowledge to existing knowledge, and language is our essential tool for pulling together different strands of meaning. Language and meaning need to simmer in the same pot until they blend to generate learning.”

In that article, Arechiga notes that the shift to Common Core standards has shifted how teachers teach literacy, and Cooper told the board that in recent years, most of the focus on professional development in special education has been more about compliance with state and federal regulations instead of on instruction.

“In my mind, this is the perfect next step as we really work toward closing those gaps,” she said.

School board member Robert Reichert asked how they will know the training has been successful.

“We are eager to see our data this spring, given all this work,” said Cooper.

“We are optimistic we will make strides.”

‘People learn by relating new knowledge to existing knowledge, and language is our essential tool for pulling together different strands of meaning.

Language and meaning need to simmer in the same pot until they blend to generate learning.’

Students hit bags, books after school Boxing program focuses on fitness, homework

DaVarryl Williamson, a former heavyweight boxing champion, wraps the hand of Englewood Middle School student Cayden Hubbard before Hubbard begins a workout.

Photos by Tom Munds

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Grunts of exertion coupled with the pop of gloves on punching bags fill the air twice a week when a dozen Englewood Middle School students spend two hours at DaVarryl Williamson’s boxing gymnasium.

“DaVarryl and his friend Alyssa Levine came to us to see if we were interested in starting a boxing program for a few students,” Matt Palermo, EMS dean of students, said. “We worked out the details, and the program began with a few students in September. DaVarryl said it is best to work with a small group, so now we have about a dozen students who are there for each session and almost that many on the waiting list as we see if there is a way to perhaps have an additional session on different days.”

Each Tuesday and Thursday, the students arrive for an hourlong workout with DaVarryl and then spend another hour working on homework and academics. TOS Boxing Gym is located at 3910 S. Kalamath St., Englewood.

The session was in full swing Jan. 14. The students went through warm ups, running and doing exercises. Williamson wrapped each student’s hands before he or she put on the gloves for sessions on the heavy bag. They worked in teams; one student held the bag while the other punched it. Later in the workout, the kids moved into the ring one at a time, practicing punches by hitting the boxer’s heavy padded gloves.

David Brace, a seventh-grader, said his counselor suggested he join the program.

“I came down and watched a session, I liked what I saw and decided I wanted to sign up for it,” he said. “You definitely get a good physical workout in each session. I am in a lot better physical condition now than I was when I started with the sessions. We also do academics, and that has helped me in my classes too.”

Williamson watched the students as they worked out on the heavy bags. He worked with individuals, helping them improve their stances, their posture and how they threw the punches.

The boxer grew up in a poor area of Washington, D.C. His mother was an addict and his father was in prison, so he spent a lot of time in foster homes. He

Englewood Middle School students punch heavy bags as part of their workout. About a dozen students take part in the after-school program, which includes an hourlong, boxing-related workout directed by retired boxing champion DaVarryl Williamson followed by an hour of homework.

‘I feel a lot better since I have been part of the program.’

Ihana Cavarria, eighth-grader said he liked sports and played football and basketball in high school. Football was his favorite sport, and his ability opened the door for him to attend Wayne State College in Nebraska, where

he quarterbacked the football team.

“I wanted to play pro football and tried out for a couple teams,” he said. “I trained hard and took up boxing to help me be a better football player.

I eventually found out I was a better boxer than I was a football player.”

He became an amateur boxer at 25, and his record is 102-7-1 with 103 knockouts. He was the national Golden Gloves heavyweight champion in 1996 and again in 1998. He also was the National Amateur heavyweight champion from 1996 to 1998, the only amateur to win the title three years in a row.

He turned professional at 32 and fought as DaVarryl

“Touch of Sleep” Williamson. He won the first of four heavyweight championships in 2008 and established a pro record of 26-6 with 23 knockouts.

He said athletics were so important to him when he was growing up that he now wants to help kids in any way he can as a way to give back to the community.

“The sports, the summer camp programs, were so important to me growing up and helped make me what I am,” he said. “All my life I wanted to have my own gym and now that I do, I wanted to find a way to work with kids.”

On Jan. 14, Matthew Abalo, a seventh-grader, hammered the heavy bag with both hands.

During a break, he said he signed up for the boxing program as a way to get in good physical condition and get out of the house.

“The program was harder than I thought it would be,” he said. “DaVarryl makes us work hard. I am tired and ready to go home at the end of our session.”

Nearby Ihana Cavarria punched the heavy bag.

“My mom was a boxer, and she told me it was fun so I decided to try it,” she said. “The workouts are hard, but they help me get in good shape. I feel a lot better since I have been part of the program.”

Cavarria runs track and crosscountry in middle school, and the eighth-grader said she wants to go out for those programs next year at high school. She said she would also like to play soccer and be a cheerleader for the high school teams.

Amy Atkinson, a volunteer tutor, worked out with the students.

“I knew I needed to get in physical condition, and joined DaVarryl’s boxing program eight years ago. I like the workouts because you have to use your muscles, but you also have to use your mind to properly learn the techniques he is teaching us,” the Centennial resident said. “The workout is awesome.

DaVarryl has a way of pushing you so you do more than you think you can do. He does that to me, and I leave here feeling good about myself and what I have accomplished.”

have made very different choices if a helping hand had reached out from a system designed to not miss the opportunities to help him,” he said. “This process is now about the next student in crisis who is on the brink of hurting themselves or others. It’s about implementing meaningful changes that will help identify those kids early and intervene with positive support to prevent the next tragedy.”

The reports, released on Jan. 18, are the outcome of arbitration between the Davis family and Littleton Public Schools.

In exchange for the proceedings, the family agreed not to sue the district over the shooting death of their daughter at Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, 2013.

“There was not one individual cataclysmic mistake by LPS,” said Michael Roche, the Davis family’s friend and attorney. “Rather, there was a steady stream of small failures that led inevitably to a catastrophic result. These were not just individual mistakes. I wish it was that simple.

Because if that were the problem, it would be easier to solve. Getting rid of a few bad apples is much simpler than changing an institutional mindset.”

But, according to the researchers that undertook the studies, changing the institutional mindset is exactly what needs to happen.

District Continued from Page 1

reunited with families better after the incident.

Other news was better. Some positive changes have already been made. The district spent more than $800,000 on mental health-related improvements. Safe2Tell stickers now appear on all student IDs, giving kids easy access to anonymously report signs of trouble. And all in all, agreed the researchers, Arapahoe High

January 29, 2016 “The evidence of faulty systems thinking within AHS and LPS included a tendency for groupthink, a reluctance to reflect on and admit failure, and the minimization of sincere concern,” reads the report by the University of Colorado Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence. “These findings represent the most challenging and the most important of the problems to solve, because information sharing and threat assessment cannot overcome an unhealthy organizational system.”

All three reports had findings consistent with each other. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office concluded there was no criminal wrongdoing on the part of Arapahoe High or school district officials, but Superintendent Brian Ewert and the researchers acknowledge there were definite missteps.

Generally speaking, the major flaws came in the areas of unreliable reporting on, and follow-up, of behaviors throughout shooter Karl Pierson’s years in LPS, a lack of sharing of information among people who could do something about it, and the school culture of “groupthink.”

State Sen. Linda Newell, who represents the district that includes LPS and had two daughters graduate from district schools, asked what the specific indicators of groupthink are. Sarah Goodrum of the University of Colorado Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence said there are two major ones at Arapahoe High.

“First, the school culture doesn’t allow much room for failure,” she said, noting

a strong “we” culture that emphasizes “Warrior Strong” over uniqueness and is not healthy.

Second is a reluctance to allow for open dialogue about concerns, she said.

“The teachers were not heard, and in some cases, teachers felt they could not even voice their concerns. … When there’s a great deal of agreement, it’s an indication something’s wrong.”

Newell also asked whether the district is on track with how it deals with mental health issues, having spent more than $800,000 last year for an in-house counseling center.

“We’ve seen some positive things,” said Michael Dorn, executive director of Safe Havens International, a nonprofit security group that conducted one of the studies.

“We’re a little concerned about sustainability.”

Dorn added, and the other studies agreed, that the district should have more control over discipline matters rather than letting all such decisions be made at the building level. After the shooting, LPS did create a district-level team that reviews all incident reports weekly, and Dorn said that’s a plus.

State Rep. Jim Wilson asked whether schools should consider metal detectors or armed guards. The experts didn’t necessarily support either option.

“When you are going to do it right and support it, it’s very effective,” said Dorn of metal detection, adding it costs about $1 million a year per building. “It’s not something we would recommend. There are

other approaches.”

John Nicoletti, who specializes in police and public safety psychology, said having police on site is preferable to armed guards.

“But it’s not a typical recommendation for us,” said Nicoletti, who helped write one of the reports. “There’s not an easy answer to your question. We’re very situation specific.”

Committee member Linda Weinerman, a juvenile justice advocate, asked the question that perhaps has been on the top of the minds of many in the community: How can you tell when a student poses a serious threat?

“We’re talking about kids,” she said.

“Kids often do knucklehead, silly things.”

Dorn noted that there are answers to that in all three reports, but thorough threat assessment based on proven techniques is key.

“Maybe you determine they’re not a threat, but they do require some sort of assistance,” he said.

Nicoletti noted his firm, after the fact, rated Pierson a risk on many levels, but Arapahoe High had rated him as a low threat.

“What we saw was a breakdown in the detectors,” he said.

State Sen. Mark Scheffel, committee chair, thanked the researchers for their hard work on the reports, and said it would now be important to figure out how to get their recommendations in place.

“Waiting for them gave us hope, but having them gives us power,” he said.

was at least as safe as most schools in the country, even on Dec. 13, 2013.

Just three people spoke during public comment, two of whom are critical of the district on a fairly frequent basis. But one former Arapahoe teacher was there to say he hoped the community could now move forward.

“We have heard a lot of data tonight, but action speaks louder than data,” said Gregory Tyler. “… I’m a forgiving person. I can get past this. But I know a lot of people are still hurting.”

School board member Jim Stephens had two children in the building that day.

“I’m heartbroken every day,” he said.

“The staff, I’m completely in awe of the grace and the love you show each other.

Too many of you heard or saw things on that day that nobody should ever hear or see.”

The audience was completely hushed during the presentation, which ended with board members urging community cohesion.

“While we can’t make sense of this tragedy, we can come up with ways to prevent it from happening again,” said Lucie Stanish, former board president. But the schools can’t do it alone. We all need to work together, because this is a societal issue, not just a school issue.”

But after the crowds left, reporters pounced during a planned press conference.

“Was there a cover-up after the incident? Why was there no communication with the press?” some asked.

Of course not, was the answer. It was a strategy, they said, and there were legal implications, but the district always stayed in touch with its families.

“It was just so foreign in this community, it didn’t feel right,” said Ewert, who was the Englewood Public Schools superintendent at the time. “Quite frankly, as an outsider, I didn’t understand it either.”

State enters 2016 with abortion debates

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Colorado Republicans could be forgiven for thinking that several years of fiery political contests over abortion and reproductive rights, which helped Democrats win several elections in this socially liberal swing state, were behind them.

Then, last year, a pregnant woman close to giving birth was gruesomely attacked with a knife, and a few months later an anti-abortion zealot opened fire at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing three.

Think those cases won’t affect the 2016 races? Not a chance.

Abortion and reproductive rights are never far from the nerve in this battleground state, where party affiliation is roughly even between Democrats and Republicans and statewide contests often come down to the votes of suburban women who belong to neither party. That key demographic generally favors moderate candidates who back conservative spending but also abortion rights.

With a U.S. Senate seat and control of the U.S. House delegation on the line in Colorado, plus the prospect of Hillary Clinton becoming the first majorparty female presidential nominee, gender politics could easily make the difference.

“It is a bit of a dog-whistle issue for a narrow minority, but it is one that does have political power,” said Gregoriah Hartman of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado.

“We’re expecting to see more and not less in 2016.”

Battle lines have already been drawn in Colorado’s hottest contests.

In the U.S. Senate race, Tim Neville, a Republican state senator from south Jefferson County, kicked off his campaign against Democratic incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet by talking about abortion politics.

“When an organization like Planned Parenthood ignores the law, kills the unborn, sells their body parts for

profit and we have both parties that can’t even come together to end this tragedy, we have an issue with leadership,” Neville told supporters, referencing videos taken by anti-abortion activists they said showed Planned Parenthood personnel negotiating the sale of fetal organs.

Bennet likely won’t mind if the debate stays on Planned Parenthood.

The state’s senior senator won his last contest in large part because of reproductive rights. Bennet faced a conservative Tea Party favorite in 2010, one who appeared to be winning in polls until Democrats pounded him for supporting ballot measures to ban abortion by defining fertilized embryos as people, a concept described as “personhood.”

Bennet’s victory ensured that Democrats for the next five years would try tying Republicans to the “personhood” movement. The focus on reproductive rights grew so intense that during the 2014 Senate campaign, reporters and Republicans derisively dubbed former Sen. Mark Udall “Mark Uterus.” Udall was defeated for a second term by Republican Cory Gardner, who once supported a “personhood” measure but convincingly told the public he’d changed his mind.

The Udall defeat was seen by many as the last time Colorado Democrats would focus so heavily on reproductive rights. But events have dictated otherwise.

In addition to the Planned Parenthood shootings, motivated apparently by the confessed gunman’s opposition to abortion, Colorado is preparing to try a woman for cutting an unborn baby out of a Longmont woman last year. The accused attacker goes on trial this spring in a case Republicans are saying highlights the state’s inadequate penalties for killing unborn babies.

Coffman race in spotlight Women’s reproductive rights are playing out in a pitched congressional contest, too. Democrats are trying to oust a suburban Republican, Rep. Mike Coffman, who joined Republican colleagues last year and voted to defund Planned Parenthood. The contest will likely determine which party controls Colorado’s U.S. House delegation, where the GOP currently has a 4-3 edge.

Holmes sent out of state to undisclosed location

By Associated Press Aurora theater shooter James Holmes has apparently been transferred to a prison in another state, but officials won’t say where or why.

Adrienne Jacobson, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Corrections, said Jan. 20 that Holmes’ move was part of an

Federal officials say a record number of airline passengers were caught last year trying to take guns on planes, and most of the weapons were loaded.

The Transportation Security Administration says 2,653 firearms were

found in carry-on bags in 2015, a 20 percent increase over the previous year, which had been a record. More than four out of five were loaded.

Airports with the most gun discoveries were Dallas-Fort Worth, 153; Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, 144; Houston George Bush, 100; Denver, 90, and Phoenix, 73.

and injuring 70 others when he opened fire on a crowded suburban Denver movie theater in July 2012.

It is at least the third time in five months that prison officials have moved Holmes.

He had been held most recently in San Carlos Correctional Facility in Pueblo after being transferred from the Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City, the state’s highest security prison, where Holmes had his own cell and was heavily supervised.

Aurora theater shooter moved agreement with another prison to exchange inmates, which can happen for a variety of reasons.

Jacobson says revealing his location would thwart the purpose of the agreement.

The lack of information frustrated 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, who prosecuted the case. He says victims have a right to know if Holmes is being housed in their state.

Holmes was sentenced in August to life in prison for killing 12 people

lenging Coffman, called his Planned Parenthood vote “appalling.” She has received the backing of Emily’s List, a national political group focused on electing Democratic women who support abortion rights.

Glamour magazine recently described the CoffmanCarroll race one that “women everywhere should also have their eye on.”

Inspired by the attack on the pregnant woman and the Planned Parenthood shootings, the Colorado Legislature this year is going to offer plenty of opportunities for candidates to score political points on women’s reproductive rights.

Lawmakers will debate an outright ban on abortion, along with a GOP plan to make killing a fetus eligible for a homicide charge. Democrats, meanwhile, will be defending a plan by the Democratic administration to use tax money to increase teenage access to longacting reversible contraception such as intrauterine devices.

Top lawmakers have made clear that they’re digging in their heels on the topic. Democratic state House Speaker Dickey Lee Hullinghorst said in her openingday remarks that Democrats would block any attempts to ratchet back reproductive rights.

President Jimmy Carter and wife, Rosalynn, give Angel Meza and her three daughters the key to their Habitat for Humanity home in 2013. “Every day I wake up in my house and feel so blessed,” Meza said. Photo courtesy of Angel Meza

Habitat for Humanity opens a ReStore, described as a mix between a thrift store and a Home Depot, in partnership with Goodwill at 8585 S. Poplar Way. “You can come here and not only donate a bag of clothes, but also a refrigerator, lumber or tools,” said Ryan Smith, chief retail officer of Habitat for Humanity. Photo Alex DeWind

Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill share donation dock The partnership is an effort to increase donations for the nonprofit organizations

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Angel Meza, divorced with four children, was living in a subsidized apartment near downtown Denver when she found out she qualified for a Habitat for Humanity home.

“It really changed my life in so many ways,” she said. “Home ownership was my ultimate goal.”

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver,

an affiliate of the national nonprofit organization, started in 1979 and has served roughly 650 families, according to Ryan Smith, chief retail officer.

The organization’s goal is to “build homes, community and hope by providing stable places to live,” Smith said.

For the first time, Habitat For Humanity and Goodwill Industries opened a onestop drop location in Highlands Ranch in an effort to increase donations and, therefore, provide more homes to people like Meza.

Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, similar to a thrift store for homes, opened in a portion of Goodwill’s building, at 8585 S. Poplar Way, near Walmart.

LONE LONETREE TREEHEALTH HEALTHCENTER CENTER

The location is convenient for community members who want to drop off donations without making several stops, Smith said.

“When you make things easier for people,” he said, “they are more likely to do it.”

The nonprofit organizations share a donation dock in the back of the building and accept everything from used clothes to windows and doors.

Proceeds stay separate. Goodwill helps people with intellectual and physical disabilities find employment and Habitat for Humanity helps low-income families secure a home.

Meza, an employee of National Jewish

Hospital, now lives in a four-bedroom townhouse in the Globeville neighborhood, near 51st Avenue and Sherman Street. She was able to afford Internet and bought a refurbished computer from Goodwill. Her eldest daughter is now planning for college.

Meza was required to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity during the home ownership process. She also had to attend 14 homeowner classes, which taught her skills from basic plumbing repairs to prioritizing expenses.

It changed her life, she said.

“Raising four kids was financially hard,” Meza said. “Now they have a house that they are proud of.”

The heat is on, as it ought to be It is colder than a well digger’s bottom in the Klondike.

I have cleaned up my father’s expression somewhat.

It’s 4 degrees.

The snow melted, then froze, the ice melted, then froze.

The side streets are a mess, but once you get out on University or Quebec, it’s all clear to the highways.

The trick is to get out on University or Quebec without meeting up with a high school student who has had his license for about three days.

The car is a mess. The garage is a mess.

Smitty’s paw prints are visible on the wood flooring.

The furnace runs all day and all night.

I refuse to write wearing a parka over a hoodie.

I am not going to win any awards for conservation.

It’s warm in my home in the winter, and it’s cool in the summer.

One of my neighbors could store furs in her house right now.

This is a very interior time of the year.

I don’t get very far away anyhow, but particularly not at this time of year.

There’s no yard work to be done.

It’s the only time of the year when everyone’s yard looks the same.

Tell me what is better on a winter’s day than listening to the Electric Light Orchestra, loud, and starting a fresh painting on a custom-made canvas?

I know that’s probably not your idea of a good time, but for me it can’t be beat.

One of these days (March 13), we’ll have to change our clocks, and it will still be daylight at 5 and 6.

And then 7 and 8.

Craig Marshall Smith It will start to QUIET smell like lawn DESPERATION food outside my grocery store.

I hold on to these days and nights.

There are no impediments in the spring and the summer, meaning I can just get in the car and go, without concerns about the weather.

Bill Murray was in town recently, and predicted eight more weeks of winter.

My friends seem farther away from me at this time of year.

Lunches have to be rescheduled because of the road conditions.

I like to see weather in films, specifically rain and snow.

A lot of film snow isn’t snow at all. It once was crushed cornflakes.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” was filmed in southern California, in Culver City and Encino, during a heat wave.

RKO created “chemical snow.”

There are very few of the original sets left.

But the swimming pool that was used in the film is still in use, at Beverly Hills High School.

Remember? The floor opens when Carl Switzer (“Alfalfa” in the “Little Rascals” movies), turns the key to get back at Jimmy Stewart.

This is just enough, this weather.

On the other hand, there’s “Dr. Zhivago” weather.

I wouldn’t care for extremes like that. Unless, of course, Julie Christie were nearby.

(Julie is 75.)

I check the paper every morning, to find out when the sun will rise and set.

Incrementally it changes every day, and then, wham, we have to spring forward an entire hour in March.

I can guarantee an article or two about the nuisance of Daylight Saving Time.

Should it be gotten rid of? Yes. Will it be? No. Some of my clocks change all by themselves.

A day or two afterward, it’s forgotten. We’ll be in the midst of March Madness, hoping that someone can knock off Duke.

In the meantime, I am as happy as a snowman in the Upper Peninsula.

Changing doesn’t require billions The recent Powerball drawing of $1.6 billion had a lot of people talking about what they would do with the money. I mean, reporters were visiting different cities and interviewing hopeful winners and asking the question, Michael Norton “How would you WINNING spend the money?”

Social media was WORDS buzzing with tweets and posts about how to spend the money or making sure their causes were represented in the event someone won and would be willing to share some of those winnings.

I happened to be traveling that week and spent time in airplanes, taxis, shuttle buses and airports. I overheard many of the same conversations taking place and some of the answers were self-serving, with some stating all of the luxury items that they would buy for themselves. Others talked about eliminating debt, helping friends and family, and supporting their favorite cause.

More than a few talked about giving at least half of the winnings away to their favorite charities or making a significant donation through their church our house of worship. We had many of those same questions at our own house and shared our own thoughts on how winning such a large sum of money could and would change our lives.

Now here is the real question, “How would it change who you are?” Many

For free speech…thank you for your service This morning, I sat down to write about the presidential campaign. The Iowa Caucus is just a few days away on Feb. 1 and the New Hampshire primary is Feb. 9. The American electorate voting machine is firing up in earnest, with far-reaching and long-standing implications for our country.

However, as I settled into my spot at the breakfast cafe where I pen such thoughts, I asked my server — an extraordinarily pleasant and cheerful woman — about her tattoo, a series of small Chinese characters. “Strong woman,” she replied.

“I was in the military,” she explained, “and when we were discharged, we all went to get tattoos. The guys got ‘strong man’ and I got ‘strong woman.’” She had served in the Army in Bosnia, with a humanitarian aid unit. “We were the first in and the first out. It wasn’t pretty,” she said. She was the only woman in her family to enter the military, although generations of her family had served before her.

“Thank you for your service,” I said simply.

I meant it. Such service is one of the reasons why I can write week after week to

express my opinions about those who currently run our government, those who have run it, and those who want to run it next.

of the people being interviewed and in many of the conversations I overheard or took part in, people said that it wouldn’t change them as a person at all. Maybe that’s true, maybe it’s not, I really didn’t know the people personally so I couldn’t say if I believed they wouldn’t or couldn’t be changed by money. I mean, money does crazy things to people and $1.6 billion is a crazy sum of money.

What I do know is that there are many people who are very happy and comfortable with who they are and where they are. And that they are grounded through a solid belief system and hold close to their values. And then there are others who really would like to make some change or improvement in their lives. So does it take winning the lottery to make those changes? I don’t believe so. True change happens or doesn’t happen when we are committed to our values and disciplined enough to set and pursue our goals.

Money, and I mean a lot of money, can do many things for people and certainly make a difference in how we live and how we secure our future. But if it changes who we are, we have never been comfortable and grounded in who we were in the first place.

Recreation Denver Walking Tours Denver area residents and visitors are invited to experience downtown Denver through a free walking tour, a two-hour excursion that starts in Civic Center Park, winds dollars in the recent Powerball drawing, as you have to be in it to win it, right?

But when I recognize a change I want to make, identify a new goal I want to pursue, or dream I wish to make a reality, I invest the time in myself to make those changes, not just in hoping that one day lightning will strike and I will win the lottery.

And it starts with where we see ourselves. Zig Ziglar used to say, “If you don’t like who you are, what you are, and where you are, you can change who you are, what you are, and where you are by changing what goes into your mind.”

Filling our mind, our field of vision, our ears, and our surroundings with positive thoughts and attitude coupled with a strategic and tactical plan that will help us become who we are will have a greater impact and more realistic impact on our lives than investing our time and money in hoping and waiting to win the lottery.

How about you? Would $1.6 billion change you as a person? Are there changes that you would like to make in your life, big or small, and just don’t know where to start? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can acknowledge where true and meaningful change comes from, we will achieve our goals and realize our dreams, making it a better than good week.

And young people of all ethnicities and backgrounds continue to serve not only to help keep America safe, but also to render aid and to provide strength for those who are oppressed around the globe.

A simplistic view? Sure, I’m not naive.

America’s military action around the world deserves much more scrutiny than it publicly receives. But for the strong women and the strong men who put on the uniform, in any capacity, so that I can sit here and write these words, I have only one thing to say … and I mean it: “Thank you for your service.”

Move over beer...

‘A good drink should reflect what your guest is craving.’

— Susan Bencivenga, bartender at Merle’s in downtown Littleton

Libations are here Creative cocktails have many loyal fans

Drinks served in these plastic buckets are limited to two per customer at The Rock.

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com With so much brew-haha going on, craft beer has definitely stolen the spotlight from other adult beverages of late.

But believe it or not, there are people in the universe who simply don’t like beer.

“I just really don’t like the taste of it,” Littleton resident Michelle Moriarty said. “I’ve tried a bunch of local craft beers, because a lot of my friends are really into them. But they just don’t do it for me. I end up feelHOW TO MAKE IT ing full, not relaxed.”

The Rock’s Scooby Snack So Moriarty has 1 ounce banana liqueur embarked on a per1 ounce melon liqueur sonal journey to seek ½ ounce coconut rum out the best, most ½ ounce half and half unique cocktails in town.

Shake with ice, strain “I like to get a into a highball glass. bunch of friends together and try new places,” she said. “We like to meet new people in different parts of town and sample some of the most interesting drinks that different places have.”

One of her favorites is the jalapeño margarita at Merle’s in downtown Littleton. It packs a tangy punch, and the spicy aroma carries across the table.

“I think our guests love the jalapeño margarita so much because we use great, high-quality Tanteo agave jalapeño-infused tequila,” bartender Susan Bencivenga said. “This tequila gives a fresh jalapeño flavor without too much heat. We also use fresh lime juice and agave nectar to finish this margarita to perfection.”

Another local favorite for cocktail hour is The Rock Wood Fired Kitchen, which has locations in Highlands Ranch, Parker and Lakewood. The stars of the show there are 32-ounce cocktails (limit two!)

Brief history of cocktails

Susan Bencivenga loves creating unique cocktails for her customers at Merle’s in Littleton. Courtesy photo

Cocktails first started showing up in history books in the 17th century.

When Prohibition arrived in 1919, they went underground but remained popular, although the quality of liquor declined greatly. Bootleggers switched from whiskey to gin, because it didn’t need to age. But it tasted pretty bad as a result, so fruit juice was added to mask the taste. An added bonus was that sweet cocktails are easier to drink quickly, an important consideration when your speakeasy could be raided at any moment.

The popularity of cocktails declined in 1960s and through the 1970s — young people seemed to prefer wine and marijuana — with the notable exception of the tacky tiki era.

Traditional cocktails began to make a comeback in the 2000s, and today cocktail drinkers are enjoying a full-on renaissance. Bartenders are now known as “mixologists” and use a wide variety of interesting ingredients and complex flavors.

made with Rockstar energy drinks that come in plastic buckets, complete with plastic shovel.

“The buckets taste like a fruity energy drink,” said Dana Borin, who frequents The Rock with a group of coworkers.

“And you can take (the buckets) home to the kids,” added her friend Wendy Stephens.

And let’s not forget breakfast cocktails, which have come way beyond simply pouring a little bubbly into some orange juice.

Snooze, with seven Colorado locations, including Centennial and Lone Tree, is widely known for its variety of morning beverages with names like the Snooze Fashioned, Boss Hog Bloody

“The Orange Snoozius is my favorite,” Moriarty said. “It has vodka, orange liqueur, OJ and whipped cream. I first tried it because I worked at Orange Julius a long time ago, but now I’m hooked. It’s way better than a plain old Orange Julius.”

there these days, how does one decide?

“A good drink should reflect what your guest is craving,” Bencivenga said.

“Some like it on the sweet side or a little smoky deep flavor. When someone is lost on what they’d like, I ask what they usually order and try to find something new and different for them to experience. It may even just be a different brand of liquor or flavor profile.”

Bencivenga enjoys coming up with unique recipes on her own, and seeing her customers’ reaction to them. Her current favorite is the Blackberry Bourbon Fizz.

“I came up with this fun drink to help people who don’t normally drink bourbon to fall in love with it,” she said.

She starts by muddling — smushing — an orange slice with blackberries, mint and a squeeze of simple syrup. She shakes those together with locally distilled Breckenridge Bourbon, then pours over ice topped with ginger ale.

“Love, love, love this drink!” she said.

Over at The Rock, bartender Lars Wray says his favorite libation is the Scooby Snack. It’s served in a highball glass and tastes like a melon-y pina colada.

“It tastes like goodness,” he said.

Whatever your poison, Moriarty notes that exploring and sharing cocktails (responsibly, of course) is a great way to see new horizons, try food at new venues and simply spend time with people you enjoy.

“I’m a single mom, but I’m lucky to be surrounded by tons of really great friends,” she said. “I love getting out of the house with them to talk about our days, our families, our lives.”

And serving people like Moriarty and her friends is why so many bartenders love their jobs.

“You get to meet new people every day, and make new friends every day,” said Wray. “It’s a chance to make people happy.”

Competition for opera singers open to public Cherry Hills church will be venue for three sessions

IF YOU GO The three parts of the Competition for Colorado Singers will be at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E. Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village.

No reservation needed, unless you want to order lunch. For information, contact competition chairwoman Karen Bruggentheis, 303-345-3531 or denverlyricoperaguild.org. The Guild welcomes new members; see information on the website.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Aspiring Colorado opera singers travel a long road to professional accomplishments and the glamorous life one might picture for the stars: individual training plus study in the music department at a university, summer festivals and musicals, travel to special classes and events — and instruction on caring for the very special instrument each carries inside contributes to that polished professional.

At the point that they finish college at the University of Colorado, University of Denver, Colorado State University or University of Northern Colorado and may be included in the young artists’ programs at Opera Colorado, Central City Opera or Emerald City Opera (Steamboat Springs),

they may need support to take a next step — graduate work, New York auditions, international competitions, etc.

The Denver Lyric Opera Guild distributes over $30,000 each year to talented young Colorado singers to help them pursue a career in opera. The 2016 Competition for Colorado Singers has three parts

‘Violet’ sparks thought with story about 1960s “On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and outlawed segregation in public places. This was deeply unpopular in the South, where Violet was traveling, and its enforcement was challenged and racism remained … It’s not about the destination, but the journey that transforms us.”

The set is a bus terminal, designed by Tina Anderson to serve as several places on Violet’s travels, with assorted chairs to the front suggesting a cross-country bus. She makes new friends and learns about what it means to be an outsider.

“Violet” was written by Jeanine Tesori (music and lyrics) and Brian Crawley (book), based on a story, “The Ugliest Pilgrim,” by Doris Betts. It’s a smaller-scale musical with a message, filled with upbeat country, gospel and honky-tonk tunes and

a compelling story.

Among those Violet meets on the bus are a couple of young soldiers en route to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Monty (Chas Lederer) and the more reserved Flick (Randy Chalmers), who is black, take her out for boozy evening in Memphis en route, after she beats them at poker.

A charming scene has young Violet (Rebecca Hyde) learning to play poker from her dad (Scott McLean) on one side of the stage, while adult Violet is quietly beating the puzzled soldiers on the other side. Dad and young Vi appear in a number of flashbacks that effectively add another layer to the story.

Throughout, a country band, led by Donna Debreceni, plays the lively, pleasing score, set to the side of the stage. It is a really nice addition to this production.

Voices are strong and the melodies are fun to hear.

Journey through South occurs as historic changes loom

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In image-conscious September 1964, a young woman named Violet Karl (Ellen Kaye) leaves her home in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, on a bus headed for Tulsa, Oklahoma, where there is an evangelist/ healer she believes will heal the scar on her face, disfigured in an accident.

“Her journey takes her across the American South during the cultural revolution of the 1960s. This is before civil rights, Vietnam, women’s liberation and the British Invasion reshaped our society,” wrote director Nick Sugar in his notes for “Violet” at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center.

Monarch crushes Cherry Creek on ice Coyotes take suspense out of state title rematch

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek would have liked to play another overtime game with Monarch, but that didn’t happen.

Last March, the Bruins defeated the Coyotes 3-2 in triple-overtime to win the state hockey championship, but in a Jan. 23 rematch at Family Sports Center in Centennial, the game was never close.

Monarch had the game circled on the calendar. The Coyotes dominated with their speed and forechecking to earn a 9-2 Foothills Conference win in a contest between unbeaten teams.

The Coyotes, top-ranked in the CHSAANow.com poll, improved to 9-0-0 and 7-0-0 in the conference, while the third-ranked Bruins are now 11-1-0 and 8-1-0.

“They completely dominated us and deserved to win,” said Creek coach Jeff Mielnicki. “They crushed us pretty good.”

Key moments Monarch, which was averaging 11.8 goals a game, stormed to a 6-0 first period lead, but Creek scored the first two goals of the second period and had a power play opportunity to keep the momentum going.

However, Jake Young scored a short-handed goal for the Coyotes, which short-circuited the Bruins rally.

Key players/statistics Senior defenseman Daniel Rosales and junior forward Samuel Harris, both Cherry Creek students, had goals for the Bruins.

Harris also had an assist.

Young, a senior who attends Monarch, had four goals and an assist for the Coyotes while Andrew Pickner, a Niwot senior, had two goals. The Bruins, who have players from six schools, went 0-for-6 on the power play and were outshot 34-14 by Monarch, which has players from 13 different schools on its roster.

They said it When asked if Monarch’s short-handed goal in the second period stalled the Bruins’ comeback, Mielnicki said there was more than the one play.

“There was probably a long list of things,“ he said. “That’s one thing they are very good at. They attack on the penalty kill because they are fast team. They are physical and fast.”

Monarch coach Jimmy Dexter wasn’t

Cherry Creek’s Samuel Harris looks to shoot around Monarch defenseman Drew Wagner (21) during the Jan. 23 Foothills Conference game at Family Sports Center. Harris scored one of the two goals for the Bruins, who were defeated 9-2 in the rematch of last season’s state championship game. Photos by Jim Benton happy with the Coyotes’ 12 penalties for 51 minutes.

“We came out with a ton of energy, and we never really let off the gas pedal,” Dexter said. “We sat back a little in the second period, they got some momentum, but then we turned it back on. That was a huge play

by Jake (Young) on the short-handed goal because they had all the momentum. We have to be smarter. We have to be more disciplined. We lost a player at the end of the game for running his mouth. We have to learn from that.”

Mielnicki, with only four seniors on the team, said the Bruins are learning.

“We have young kids,” he said. “They are learning that one step out of position can be three steps left behind. We turned over 20 players. These kids have done well. You see a team like Monarch beating a team by 10 goals. We’re beating them by two and three.

We’re learning how to have success, but it’s a learning curve. I’m happy where we’re at, but I’m not happy about today.”

Going forward Cherry Creek plays Resurrection Christian on Jan. 29 while Monarch takes on Steamboat Springs Jan. 30.

Cherry Creek goalie Scout Stalcup stops a shot by Monarch’s Andrew Pickner during the first period of the Jan. 23 Foothills Conference game. Stalcup allowed six goals before being replaced as the Coyotes notched a 9-2 victory in the game featuring two unbeaten teams that was a rematch of last season’s state championship game.

New football league alignment takes it too far The conference names are majestic, but the new league alignment that will apparently be approved for Class 5A football teams has left many observers with altitude sickness.

For the 2016-17 cycle, the Colorado High School Activities Association football committee has proposed reducing the 5A football playoffs from 32 to 16 teams, which is a good idea.

However, using teams’ Ratings Percentage Index, a computer ranking, over the past two years to realign leagues has drawn a puzzled response from many coaches and athletic directors.

The “waterfall” alignments are intended to balance out leagues based on the strength of teams. But they also separate some natural geographic rivals and bring about more travel for teams.

For example, Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge — neighborhood rivals in Highlands Ranch — would no longer be in the same league. One of ThunderRidge’s new conference foes would be Northglenn, some 30 miles away.

Conferences in the 5A proposal are named after Colorado’s 14ers, like Mount Elbert and Mount Evans. They are great monikers, but I still liked the way teams

were aligned in the former Centennial, Continental and 5A Jefferson County leagues.

The CHSAA Legislative Council is expected to approve the new conference alignments on Jan. 28.

The council deterJim Benton mines rules, and its 75 members repreOVERTIME sent all athletic conferences along with delegates from the Colorado Association of School Boards, Colorado Athletic Directors Association and Colorado Association of Secondary School Administrators. The football committee proposal is one of 10 reports that will likely be approved.

The claim of the football committee with its Class 5A waterfall conference proposal is that travel will be along the I-25 corridor and be no longer than two hours since there are no Grand Junction schools. The proposed Class 4A waterfall league lineup is based on geography.

Sounds good, but it seems like interest

and gate receipts could be affected when Cherry Creek plays teams like Prairie View in Henderson or Grandview travels to Doherty and Pomona faces Aurora Hinkley. Even in Class 4A, when Littleton has a game in Montrose.

Sure rivalry games can be scheduled as nonleague affairs, but seeing Creek vs.

Valor or Douglas County vs. Castle View in league contests that add more importance than just bragging right will be lost in the new conference alignments.

She can’t stay out of the gym Pomona basketball player Ashley Van Sickle logs long hours in the gym.

“She’s a great kid and is a very good student,” coach Jeff Gomer said. “She is well respected by both staff and students at the school. She is one of the best junior guards in the state and she has a really well-rounded game.

“She can pass, score and defend. The best thing about her is she is a gym rat. I have to kick her out of the gym so I can go home.”

Van Sickle is at or near the top of Jefferson County 5A statistics. She is second in scoring at 17.6 points per game, first

in assists with 6.5 per game and first in steals with 5.2 a game.

The 5-foot-7 Van Sickle leads the state’s Class 5A players in steals and is tied for first in average assists. She is fifth in free throw shooting (79 percent) and sixth in 3-point shooting (42 percent).

Preseason player of the year Colorado School of Mines senior Nate Olinger, a Pomona graduate, was named the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason Player of the Year.

Olinger, a senior outfielder and pitcher, hit .387 last season with 19 doubles, five home runs and 36 runs batted in. He compiled a 3.71 earned-run average.

Colorado Mesa University sophomore third baseman Trent Maloney also was named to the RMAC preseason all-league team. Maloney, a Douglas County High School grad, hit .323 with 25 RBIs last spring.

Guy Van Arsdale remembers Jake Herman as just an average athlete, but one who used his head and heart to become a strong player and a true leader for the lacrosse team at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the late 1990s.

“He had a game-playing IQ that was off the charts,” said Van Arsdale, who coached Herman at RIT in New York and is now coach at Jacksonville University in Florida. “He had the ability to motivate his teammates through words and action. He had a motor that wouldn’t quit. He only knew how to play at one speed, and that was all-out.”

Mountain Vista High School students arrived on campus Jan. 19 to learn that Herman, a science teacher and the boys lacrosse coach at the Highlands Ranch school, had died. The world lost, as Van Arsdale called him, an “amazing man.”

Herman was 38. The cause of his death was not released. He leaves behind a wife, Erin, and two children, Paul, 4, and Tobi, 3.

The heavily tattooed coach had a doctorate in microbiology from Washington State University and would go on to do research on cystic fibrosis at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. His college coach believes Herman could have been making “high six figures, at least” by continuing to do scientific research.

But Herman took a different path.

“He’s a guy who followed his passion,” Van Arsdale said. “His pasFriends of the Herman family sion was coaching and have set up an account on teaching kids. He wanted GoFundMe.com to help pay to impact kids, and God for funeral expenses and, bless him, he sure did.” down the road, to help Jake Social media was full Herman’s wife, Erin, pay for of messages that confirm the education of their two that statement. children, Paul, 4, and Tobi, 3.

“All the boys on the More than $55,000 had been team, parents, staff, and raised by the morning of Jan. students are in shock,” a 25. To donate, go to the site woman wrote on Faceand search for “Jake Herman book. “He was a role Memorial Fund.” model to many students and certainly loved the sport of lacrosse.”

One of Herman’s players said on Twitter, “To my second dad, the best coach ever, and the greatest man in the world, you will be dearly missed.”

Herman was a science teacher at Mountain Vista for the past three years. He was an assistant lacrosse coach at Regis Jesuit for six years and was the Golden Eagles’ head coach for the past two seasons.

Mountain Vista compiled a 30-5-0 record under Herman’s guidance and reached the state quarterfinals and semifinals during his tenure.

“It is a sad day for the Colorado lacrosse community,” Castle View coach Jose Trujillo said. “We lost a tremendous competitor, a loyal friend and an amazing role model. Jake was passionate about everything and will be missed greatly.”

In a letter to the Mountain Vista community sharing the news of Herman’s death Jan. 19, Principal Mike Weaver said the school district’s crisis team was “working with school counselors and mental health professionals to ensure that both our students and staff have the support they need.”

“It is important for us to remember to lean on each other and provide help as needed,” Weaver wrote.

A public memorial service for Herman was scheduled to be held Jan. 27 at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch.

Van Arsdale said he and Herman — who was a co-captain as a senior on the 1999 RIT team — kept in touch over the years, seeing each other most recently last summer and talking on the phone in the fall.

“I’ve been coaching for over 30 years,” Van Arsdale said.

“In that entire time, I don’t know if I’ve ever met, or ever will meet, a more inspiring and unique human being than Jake Herman.”
