Cold-case slaying sees four arrested More than eight years after the killing of Andrew Graham, one defendant sentenced and three others may face trial

BACK TO BASICS: Bunts may not be glamorous, but they keep base runners moving P23

The unsolved death of a 23-year-old college graduate in the Willow Creek neighborhood of Centennial more than eight years ago has resulted in four arrests and one conviction — after an initial investigation years earlier turned up no results.

Allen Deshawn Ford, Clarissa Jae Lockhart, Kendall Adam Austin and Joseph Martin were arrested after a grand jury in Arapahoe County called in 2016 indicted the four. They were arrested in January 2017.

The victim, Andrew Graham, was walking home from a nearby lightrail station shortly before midnight on Nov. 5, 2009. On the way home in the early-morning hours of Nov. 6, he was fatally shot, according to authorities. He was found at about 5:30 a.m. in the 8700 block of East Phillips Graham Place in Centennial.

Ford, Lockhart and Austin face charges of first-degree felony murder, as well as conspiracy under the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Ford and Austin are also accused of committing a pattern of racketeering under that law, according to the office.

Joseph Martin pleaded guilty to aggravated robSEE SLAYING, P4

South Suburban candidates make pitches as election nears Things are largely going well, hopefuls say; ice arena is hot topic

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stay the course. That was the theme at the second of two public forums with candidates for open seats on the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Board of Directors.

Voters will choose three new members for South Suburban’s five-member board May 8. Board members John Ostermiller, Michael Anderson and Pamela Eller are departing. Nine candidates are vying for the three seats.

Of those nine, six attended the candidate forum April 26 at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial: Jerry Bakke, Pete Barrett, Dan Purse, Dave Lawful, Susan Pye and Tom Wood. Candidates Charlie Blosten, Michael Kohut and Jeff Monroe were unable to attend.

The candidates agreed that South Suburban – which oversees parks, trails, recreation centers and league sports for Littleton, Lone Tree, Sheridan, much of Centennial and some other parts of the south metro area – is well regarded.

“I commend the current board and executive director and everyone who works for South Suburban,” Jerry Bakke said. “I think the public is very happy.”

Maintaining public satisfaction with the district requires teamwork, Pete Barrett said.

“The board is incredibly important for oversight, policy setting and strategy,” Barrett said. “We’ll be working together with senior management.

The board does not do the job of the staff. One of the things you learn when you’re on boards and committees, is that playing together nicely is important, like kindergarten.”

A proposed new ice rink got some attention, particularly from Dan Purse, who is also a hockey coach at Heritage High School.

MY NAME IS South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Executive Director Rob Hanna was born in Texas, but got here as fast as he could.

GET OUT THE VOTE Absentee ballots must be received by an election judge by 7 p.m. May 8 to be counted.

Questions about absentee ballots should be sent to elections@ssprd.org, or voters can call 303-483-7011.

To be eligible to vote in the election, voters must be registered to vote in Colorado, and either be a district resident, property owner or spouse of a property owner in the district.

The polling places are: • Buck Recreation Center. 2004 W. Powers Ave. in Littleton • Goodson Recreation Center at 6315 S. University Blvd. in Centennial • The Lone Tree Hub at 8827 Lone Tree Parkway in Lone Tree • South Suburban Golf Course at 7900 S. Colorado Blvd. in Centennial More information can be found at ssprd.org/ elections or by calling 303-798-5131.

“I get pegged as a one-trick pony because I’m so concerned with the new ice arena,” Purse said. “Currently, the plan is to replace the current rink, with two sheets of ice, with another with two sheets. I think that’s a step backward. We have to consider three, which would allow for national championships.”

There are still a lot of kinks to be worked out in the ice arena proposal, Dave Lawful said.

“I don’t think there’s been a hard decision yet on whether it’s two or three sheets of ice,” Lawful said. “Three are more likely if we can work with other hockey entity for funding.”

It’s important not to underestimate the scale of the ice arena project, said Tom Wood.

“It’s a concern because construction costs are skyrocketing in the Denver area,” Wood said. “Just getting engineers and construction folks will be a real challenge.”

Overall, the board has strong direction to work from, said Susan Pye. “The best part of joining the board is that we have a master plan and strategic plan,” Pye said. “We will have a roadmap to follow through to keep our district in good health with great opportunities for all.”

ROB HANNA

Executive director of South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Texan by birth, Coloradan by choice I was born and raised in Texas, but I got to Colorado as soon as I could. I graduated Texas Tech on a Saturday and started work in Colorado that Monday.

I’ve worked in parks and recreation for 25 years now. I’ve been working as a public servant for municipalities the whole time, so this is my life’s ambition. South Suburban was a perfect fit for me.

Take it outside I have a degree in landscape architecture. I started working in garden centers in high school, then I did landscaping, and I knew that I wanted a career that involved the outdoors.

I did a couple internships in Colorado and fell in love with it. I did move back to Texas for a short stint, but I came back. I never realized how hot it is there until I spent a year here.

It’s so silly when people here complain about bugs. In high school the crickets used to come in the gymnasium.

The whole floor would be moving in the morning.

Running the gamut The surprising thing people forget about the people South Suburban serves is how diverse they are. With 155,000 residents, you can compare Sheridan to Lone Tree and see how different the needs and wants of the community can be.

The challenge and excitement is ensuring that we serve the needs of Sheridan the same as Lone Tree. We may have a different rate structure in Sheridan than we do in Lone Tree, but Lone Tree wants the latest and greatest equipment, whereas Sheridan feels lucky to have anything.

That gets lost sometimes in our conversations.

Workin’ man blues I don’t have much of a life outside of work. On Sundays my wife makes me tell her what nights I think I might actually be home for dinner.

I love everything outdoors: hunting, fishing and camping. I’ve got two teenage sons. One’s a high school senior who’s fixing to go to Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction.

He had to choose between that and Fort Lewis in Durango. I went to school in West Texas, c’mon! The most excitement we had was watching the tornadoes!

I feel so fortunate to live in Colorado. I do this to enhance the quality of life around here. Providing lowcost options for recreation makes me proud.

Mammogram follow-ups can be fraught with fear An abnormal result doesn’t always mean breast cancer

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It could have been a luxury spa day.

Five women sat gathered in a small waiting room, clad in purple smocks with pink trim, listening to soft music and indulging in individual-sized snacks of cookies and crackers. The women made small talk and joked with each other about the warm February weather, current events. They talked about anything but the reason they were all there. And with good reason. They were all there because they thought they might have breast cancer.

Each had received the letter, email or phone call that every woman dreads — the news that their recent mammogram had come back abnormal. And now, the hours spent at Invision Sally Jobe Imaging Center in Lone Tree seemed like an eternity.

Deborah Willard, 54, received one of those letters, and said the response struck fear in her heart, and left her unable to sleep for nearly three weeks, until she went back for her follow-up appointment.

“It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever had happen,” said Willard, of Denver. “The letter does say that there are a lot of reasons to get called

WHEN A MAMMOGRAM ISN’T ENOUGH Many women are called back for follow-up tests after a routine mammogram, which often means their breast tissue is dense or certain areas were unclear on the initial mammogram. An estimated 40 percent of women have dense breast tissue, according to a brochure printed by Invision Sally Jobe.

A mammogram can detect cancer in women who have dense breast tissue, but there are other options available that provide better images.

According to the National Cancer Institute, there are several diagnostic tests that can be utilized to ensure breast health and for early detection of cancer:

or “slices.” The slices allow radiologists to see parts of the breast more clearly than a traditional mammogram.

Screening breast ultrasound (SBU) — Sound waves are used to see through tissues, and shows a different view than mammography. Ultrasound is often used to examine specific portions of the breast, especially if there is an area of concern, such as a lump or pain. SBU allows radiologists to look through dense tissue in order to find small cancers.

3D mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis) — This technology, also referred to as “tomo,” creates multiple thin images,

Breast magnetic resonance imaging screening (MRI) — MRI is often recommended for women who have a history or breast cancer in the family, or are at additional risk for breast cancer, including those who have a specific mutation in genes such as BRCA1 or BRCA2.

back, but honestly all I read was, ‘you might have breast cancer.’”

According to the Society for Women’s Health Research, 47 percent of women who received a mammogram reported being called back for further testing at some point after receiving abnormal mammogram results, triggering feelings of fear, stress and sadness.

“Being afraid is no reason to delay a mammogram, especially if you find a lump or something that concerns you,” said Amy Miller, president and

chief executive officer of the SWHR, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that was started with the intention of getting women into trials and providing research on women’s health.

“Mammograms are the best way to detect cancer early, and while most people associate cancer with losing hair, vomiting and being sick, treatments are much less onerous than it used to be. Cancers caught early through a mammogram are highly treatable.”

Mary Freivogel is senior director

WHEN AND WHY SHOULD WOMEN GET A MAMMOGRAM? The following are tips from the Society for Women’s Health Research: • Women over the age of 40 should receive a mammogram. After the initial mammogram, women should speak with their doctors to determine the best mammogram for them and decide on the frequency they are both comfortable with.

• Women who have a family history of cancer, as a rule, should begin getting mammograms 10 years earlier than the year the direct relative was diagnosed.

• Women who find a lump or troublesome spot or have any concerns should visit their doctor immediately. of operations at Invision Sally Jobe, which has 12 mammogram screening locations throughout the Denver metro area. Their facilities screen thousands of women each year, and according to Freivogel, breast cancer diagnoses are not as common as women think.

“In reality, only five women in 1,000 who get screened will receive a diagnosis of cancer,” said Freivogel. “Out of 1,000 women screened, 100 will be called back for further testing. Sixtyone of those women will find there’s SEE MAMMOGRAM, P31

5 Questions for Maddie Farr Girl Scout earns Gold Award for project involving music, anxiety in young people

project in her own words.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

&

Armed with a love of music and a determination to help children manage anxiety at a young age, Maddie Farr, a sophomore at Arapahoe High School, worked to install a piece of outdoor musical equipment at an elementary school to give the kids a soothing option at recess.

“I personally have dealt with anxiety my entire life,” said Farr, 16, who said she comes from a musical family and plays the flute, drums, piano and guitar. “I think it was great as an elementary schooler to have music programs I was engaged in.”

But instruments and music lessons can be expensive, Farr said, and for children who aren’t exposed to those opportunities, her project at East Elementary School in Littleton aimed to fill that gap. Over the course of more than a year, she carried out a project that resulted in building a “metallophone” at the school, an

As an elementary schooler, the instrument would have helped her make friends on the playground, Farr said.

She hopes it will provide the same thing for children today.

Farr is one of 40 Colorado Girl Scouts set to receive the Gold Award, the highest achievement in the organization, at awards events in late April and early May. Here are Farr’s reflections on her

When did you join the Girl Scouts?

I joined the Girl Scouts when I was in third grade, which was seven years ago. So I’ve been in the organization a long time now … I got the Bronze Award when I was 11 or 12, and I knew I wanted to go all the way.

A service project is how you get the award. There’s a whole bunch of requirements — it needs to be sustainable and affect the community around you.

It’s not only about building something … but also kind of about educating people.

What inspired your project?

I am very involved in music at my high school and outside (school) — I play flute, drums and just love music. I kind of knew that in the Gold Award, I wanted to do music. My target issue is anxiety and anxiety disorders in children. It affects their ability to develop important social skills at a young age.

Being exposed to music can alleviate anxiety and lower stress-hormone levels.

I was really hoping that with some of the community outreach I did, you’d see one at every elementary school.

What did the project mean to you?

I did get to see the kids playing on it.

Sometimes I visit (the) elementary …

the principal likes to bring me up and say hey, here’s the high schooler who helped build this!

Making friends and playing music, which was the whole point — that was gratifying.

It’s really making a difference. It made me want to do a second Gold Award. It’s so rewarding.

Do you plan for music to play a role in your future?

I would really like to do music in my future in some capacity, (but) using it to pay the bills would take the fun out of it. I’m planning to get either a major or minor in music, flute performance, and go on playing it throughout life.

I’m really looking into being a chemistry major — I would really be interested in going into a lab and engineering chemicals. What I want to do changes every week. Something math- and science-related, I think.

What are some other facts about you?

I play in the winter-percussion ensemble (at school). I play vibraphone.

I play flute in one of the bands at our school, in Arapahoe’s wind ensemble, and I was part of the ensemble for this year’s school musical.

If I was a dinosaur, I would be a velociraptor. They’re really small and annoying, and I’m 5’1” and talk a lot — so I feel like that worked (laughs).

Poll finds most Americans think teachers are underpaid Sentiment is measured as educators step up actions to address wages, funding

BY CAROLE FELDMAN AND EMILY SWANSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Americans overwhelmingly believe teachers don’t make enough money, and half say they’d support paying higher taxes to give educators a raise.

The findings of the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research come amid recent teacher strikes and other protests, including walkouts in the Denver metro area, over low pay, tough classroom conditions and the amount of money allocated to public schools in several Republican-led states.

Tens of thousands of Arizona teachers voted recently to strike after rejecting an offer of a 20 percent raise, because it didn’t include a vow from state lawmakers not to further cut taxes before providing more money for the state’s schools.

“To educate children and barely get a living is obnoxious,” said Elaine Penman, a company manager in Tucson, Arizona, who added she and others went outside to cheer on protesting teachers who were marching by.

She’s among the 50 percent of Americas who say they’d pay a higher tax bill if it meant more money for teachers.

“I’m a parent and I benefit directly from what teachers do,” said Penman, who has two children in traditional public schools and one in a charter school.

In 2016-2017, the average salary for a public school teacher was $58,950, down slightly from the previous year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

Overall, 78 percent of Americans said that’s not enough. Just 15 percent think teachers are paid the right amount, while 6 percent think they’re paid too much. In a 2010 AP-Stanford poll, 57 percent of Americans said they thought teachers are paid too little.

Americans in states with the lowest average teacher salaries — less than $50,000 a year — were slightly more likely to think teachers were paid too little and that the national average should be an important factor in determining salaries.

The AP-NORC poll found that parents and those without children are about equally likely to think teachers are paid too little. It’s a sentiment that crosses party lines, too. Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats, 78 percent of independents and 66 percent of Republicans think teacher salaries are too low.

Slightly more than half of Americans — 52 percent — also approve of teachers leaving the classroom to strike in their search for higher pay, while 25 percent disapprove. Among those who say they’ve heard about the recent teacher protests, 80 percent say

they approve of such tactics.

The recent run of teacher protests began in March in West Virginia, where teachers won a raise after going on strike. The strategy soon spread to Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado and Arizona, where educators joined together online and have held increasingly frequent protests during the past six weeks.

The poll found that 51 percent of Americans have been paying at least some attention to the protests. People living in states with the lowest teacher salaries were more likely to have heard about the protests than those in states with the highest teacher pay.

Americans believe state and local governments share responsibility with teachers and their unions for the disruptions caused by the strikes.

Vernita Grimes, 68, of the District of Columbia, said teachers aren’t making enough money for the work they do and she supports them having the right to strike, “even though I know kids are losing valuable teaching time.”

But Caitlyn Scott, 27, of Kent, Ohio, said teachers are earning “about what they should,” and she opposes strikes by teachers.

“I think they kind of committed to being there for the entire school year,” she said.

Half of Americans would be willing to shoulder the cost of paying teachers more and providing more money to schools via higher taxes, with only 26 percent opposed. But while 69 percent

of Democrats say yes to higher taxes for schools, only 38 percent of Republicans and 30 percent of independents say the same.

People living in urban areas are more likely than those in rural areas to support such a tax increase, 57 percent to 40 percent.

Stephen White, a high school teacher in Marysville, California, said raising taxes is “probably the only way” to pay for teacher raises.

“Look at states that cut taxes and some districts had to go to four-day school weeks.”

That had happened in Oklahoma, where teachers staged a nine-day walkout earlier this month to protest the level of classroom funding.

White said he used to be anti-union when he worked in the private sector, but changed his position when he became a teacher. He said salaries don’t take into account all that teachers do, especially outside the normal school day.

“The private sector makes double what we do,” he said. He acknowledged that strikes are disruptive. “We don’t like that, but sometimes drastic times call for drastic measures.”

The AP-NORC poll of 1,140 adults was conducted April 11-16 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.

The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.

Metro area offers environmentally friendly commuting Multiple methods available to help save money, planet

BIKE TO WORK DAY Bike to Work Day is a day each year when anyone capable of bicycling can raise awareness of bicycle commuting.

In Colorado, the event is on June 27 this year.

Registration for participants is open. Anyone who will be participating is encouraged to register so organizers can track the impact of how many vehicles are taken off the road that day. It also helps to ensure future funding for the event and can lead to more support from regional leaders for biking infrastructure projects that make it easier to encourage biking all the time.

Bike to Work Day stations will be offered in communities across the metro area. Breakfast stations are open from 6:30-9 a.m. and water stations are open from 3:30-6 p.m.

Some places will also host a bike party in the evening.

Adam Crow enjoys seeing Colorado’s wildlife on his 40-minute commute to work, which begins in Jefferson County and ends in Gilpin County.

Crow sees deer every day, he said, and often, he also sees elk and bighorn sheep.

But for Crow, the best part of the commute is that he is not actually driving the nearly 34 miles each way.

Crow, of Lakewood, is a head cook at Monarch Casino Black Hawk. He has been riding a casino bus to get to and from work five days a week for the past eight years.

“It’s dependable,” he said, adding he wouldn’t have it any other way. “Unless,” Crow said, “the casino was right next to home.”

About 2.8 million people live in the 10-county Denver metro area, and Crow is far from the only one who has a commute to and from work.

Nowadays, more and more people are joining Crow in seeking alternative modes of transportation that are more environmentally friendly.

And because of mass transit and the emerging popularity of bike share programs throughout the metro area, it’s becoming much easier for people to access ways to commute that have less of a negative impact on the air we breathe.

“Most people in Colorado are conscious about the environment,” said Kahlea Davis, a bartender at Monarch Casino who commutes from Arvada by casino bus twice a week.

“It’s important to be sharing rides and lessening our footprint on earth.”

The casino buses that Crow and Davis ride are large, Crow said. He guessed that on average, about 30 to 40 people ride it per day. Their main reason is probably because it is less costly than driving a car up the mountain every day, he said, but their number two reason is to lessen the impact that the commute has on the environment.

“Riding a bus is one easy way for everybody to be able to pitch in,” he said, adding he also prefers the Regional Transportation District’s light rail for recreational outings such as ball games in downtown Denver.

RTD racks up impressive numbers According to the most recent data

Lone Tree is trying out ofo as a pilot program for a new bike share in the community.

The city focused on having the bikes available at primary spots in the city that cater to the commuting public, such as RTD’s Lincoln Station that serves the E, F and R light rail lines, apartment communities, shopping destinations and major employers. TABATHA STEWART

Mandy Brinker, front, of Westminster, and Josie Lenart, of Arvada, arrive at the sponsored rest stop near Big Dry Creek Park in Westminster as part of 2017 National Bike to Work Day. Both worked at nearby MTech Mechanical, a Westminster mechanical contractor.

FILE PHOTO available, in 2016, RTD had nearly 101 million boardings, including bus, free MallRide, light rail and Access-a-Ride.

“The heart and mission of RTD are about serving the public to the best degree possible by giving people transit options that best meet their needs,” said Laurie Huff, senior specialist of public affairs for RTD. And because of the amount of passenger trips per year that the RTD provides, it is “in-

herently beneficial to the environment because it speaks to fewer car trips being taken.”

But in addition to that, RTD is doing its part to help reduce emissions.

“We strive to implement sustainable features into our projects and services whenever possible,” Huff said.

RTD continues to replace old buses with new buses that are powered by clean burning engines equipped with

highly advanced emission reduction devices. In the past three years, 570 of these new buses have been put into service. RTD estimates that these new buses reduce exhaust emissions by as much as 90 percent compared to the ones they’ve replaced.

Those buses are in addition to RTD’s 36 mall buses that operate on compressed natural gas in electric-hybrid configuration and its nine hybrid buses that operate in regular city transit service.

Cities across the metro area are also helping out the environment by launching bike share programs, making it easier for people to conveniently check out a bicycle for recreation, everyday errands or as a method to connect with RTD. Denver was one of the first and launched its B-Cycle program in 2010.

The Golden Bike Library opened for its third season on April 19.

“Bikes help us do our part of reducing how much carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere and reduces our dependency on fossil fuels,” said Craig Berkley, a bike librarian at the Golden Bike Library. “They are a convenient source of transportation, but, also, bikes are just fun.”

New approach to bike sharing Earlier this year, Lone Tree decided to try a new kind of a bike share program — a dockless bike share called ofo.

“It’s a really interesting new concept,” said Austin Good, Lone Tree’s management analyst.

South Metro Denver Chamber moves to new, nearby office To improve efficiency, refresh its workspace and increase partner engagement, the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce has moved to a new office across from its existing suite in The Streets at SouthGlenn.

“It’s one small move for the chamber, one giant leap for efficiency,”

Robert Golden, president/CEO of the chamber, said in a news release. “The move gives us a streamlined office space, reduces overhead and will allow us to spend more time meeting with members where they are. It brings a lot of advantages, even though we’re just switching suites.”

The new office is at 2154 E. Commons Ave., Suite 363, Centennial. The

Unlike Golden’s bike library or Denver’s B-Cycle where people check out a bike and return it to a station, a dockless bike share system such as ofo allows people to rent a bike through an app. The bikes have on-board locks, GPS and cellular connections that are accessed via mobile device to find, unlock and pay for use.

Ofo approached Lone Tree after it had successfully launched in Aurora, Good said. Because Lone Tree had been talking about implementing a bike share program for some time, “it lined up really well with us,” he said.

Lone Tree is trying out ofo as a pilot program — which began in February and will continue through June — but Good said he thinks it’s going pretty well.

It just turns out that a nice benefit of riding a bike is that it’s easier on your pocketbook, she added, in that it doesn’t require gasoline or the costly maintenance of a car. Plus, you don’t ever have to deal with having to search for a place to park or parking fees, she said.

And on top of it all, riding a bike is a fun way to get exercise, Gunther said.

Gunther lives in downtown Denver and takes her bike any time she can for work, but also for the everyday errands of going to the post office, the grocery store and the library.

Recreationally, Gunther is part of a women’s meetup cycling group who bike together about once a week.

“We’re always looking for new pathways and adventures to explore on a bike,” Gunther said.

“It’s feels good to be able to jump on a bike and remember the joy that it brings.”

Medicare leaves gap in care for patients with opioid addictions Methadone treatment isn’t covered by insurance plan for seniors

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

One in three older Americans with Medicare drug coverage is prescribed opioid painkillers, but for those who develop a dangerous addiction there is one treatment Medicare won’t cover: methadone.

Methadone is the oldest and, experts say, the most effective of the three approved medications used to treat opioid addiction. It eases cravings without an intense high, allowing patients to work with counselors to rebuild their lives.

Federal money is flowing to states to open new methadone clinics through the 21st Century Cures Act, but despite the nation’s deepening opioid crisis, the Medicare drug program for the elderly covers methadone only when prescribed for pain.

Joseph Purvis, a former heroin and prescription painkiller user, said he went into a depressive tailspin because he initially feared he might have to stop methadone treatment when he went on Medicare at 65.

“I was terrified that I might have to leave the program. There’s no way I wanted to go back to addiction on the

streets,” said Purvis, 66, of Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Methadone doesn’t meet the requirement of Medicare’s Part D drug program because it can’t be dispensed in a retail pharmacy.

Instead, in the highly regulated methadone system, patients first are assessed by a doctor, then show up daily at federally certified methadone clinics to take their doses of the pink liquid.

Or, like Purvis in Maryland, they prove through repeated urine screens that they have earned the right to weekly take-home doses.

In Congress, a Senate panel looking for ways to counter the opioid epidemic is considering allowing Medicare to cover methadone treatment. Legislation has been introduced in the House, and a White House commission on the opioid epidemic also recommended the change.

The epidemic is “affecting all populations, including our seniors,” said Rep. George Holding, R-North Carolina, a sponsor of the House bill.

“Medicare beneficiaries have among the highest and fastest growing rate of opioid use disorder, but they don’t currently have coverage for the most effective treatment.”

An estimated 300,000 Medicare patients have been diagnosed with opioid addiction, and health officials estimate nearly 90,000 are at high risk for opioid misuse or overdose.

Buprenorphine, a more expensive

and slightly less regulated treatment drug, is covered by Medicare but few doctors who accept new Medicare patients have obtained federal waivers to prescribe it. A recent study of Medicare claims found prescriptions for buprenorphine for only 81,000 patients.

More evidence that the crisis affects seniors: Opioid overdoses killed 1,354 Americans ages 65 and older in 2016, about 3 percent of the 42,000 opioid overdoses that year.

Medicare’s policy means clinics often scramble to keep older patients in treatment if they’ve had commercial insurance that covered their care before turning 65, said counselor Angela Caldwell of Montgomery Recovery Services in Rockville, Maryland.

A national organization for methadone clinics says the clinics now have 25,000 Medicare beneficiaries who are either paying out of pocket (about $80 per week) or getting care through state-run Medicaid or block grant programs.

Mark Parrino, president of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, thinks more people would seek methadone treatment if Medicare covered it.

Many older patients rely on surprisingly high doses of opioids for pain relief, which can turn into addiction, said Dr. Anna Lembke, an addiction specialist at Stanford University School of Medicine.

One of her addiction patients, a

woman in her mid-70s, was referred to her because her daily dose of opioids had climbed over the years to a drug level many times higher than that of a typical heroin user, Lembke said.

“She’s had a gradual development of tolerance over many decades and now is on an astronomical dose,” Lembke said. “If you took any random person and gave them (that much) they would die.”

Lembke said she normally wouldn’t consider methadone for this patient because of the stigma associated with the clinics.

But Medicare coverage might make them more acceptable, Lembke said, and her patient “might actually do better with methadone.”

In Maryland, Purvis remained on methadone treatment because his income is low enough that he qualifies for the state-federal Medicaid insurance coverage for the poor and disabled. Medicaid covers methadone treatment in Maryland and about 35 other states.

Purvis, who used heroin for more than a decade in his youth, later took opioids prescribed by specialists for back pain.

After his pain doctor’s office was shut down for overprescribing, he started methadone treatment.

“Some people think of methadone as a crutch for addiction but it’s not,” Purvis said.

“It’s a tool that allows people to live a somewhat normal life.”

Goats pull their weight in fighting fires Research project shows animals are viable wildfire prevention method

whether the goats are effective in that role. They found no significant impact on the environment, either good or bad, and concluded the goats are successful at reducing dense, gambel oak that’s prime fuel for wildfires.

In areas studied, goats reduced density by 50 to 60 percent, said the girls’ biotech and research teacher, Shawndra Fordham.

Goats have been used as fire mitigation in Douglas County since 2015. It takes 300 of them roughly an hour to clean up one acre. The cost is about $1,000 a day in addition to startup fees and mileage for the company providing them.

All the girls said they were attracted to a science project that had real-world implications.

Sudakov then shot himself once in the chest, walked downstairs to the garage and threw the gun into the yard.

Their son hid in the closet after his father shot his mother. After he heard his father go downstairs, he went to his mother and called 911.

Sudakov was released from the hospital three days later and arrested, the release said.

Humphries has committed other sexual assaults in the Denver metro area, the release said.

The sheriff ’s office is not listing any specific area, said Julie Brooks, spokeswoman for the office.

“Juveniles are far less likely to report, often out of fear, intimidation or embarrassment but would likely show signs of an assault,” the April 25 news release said. “These signs might include a sudden change in behavior, nightmares, and excessive worrying or fearfulness.”

Bond for Humphries was set at $100,000. No booking photo was released of Humphries at the time “to maintain the integrity of the investigation,” the release said.

Those who know a child who may have been sexually assaulted, especially under similar circumstances, and believe the incident may be related to Humphries, can contact Investigator Stevie True at 720-874-4026 or strue@ arapahoegov.com.

A jury found a Centennial man guilty of first-degree murder after deliberation for an incident in which he shot his estranged wife in the head in front of their 13-year-old son, according to a news release by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

The jury in Arapahoe County gave its verdict the week of April 16 in the case of Yury Sudakov, 44, for the murder of Svetlana Igolkin, who was 40. When Sudakov is sentenced May 11, the statutory mandate is life Sudakov in prison without the possibility of parole, the release said.

Sudakov and Igolkin were estranged, but he lived in a separate bedroom at their home on East Lake Lane in Centennial. They argued over money and relationships with other people, the release said.

According to the release, the two were arguing over finances the morning of Feb. 18, 2017, and when Igolkin refused to give him money, Sudakov became angry and got a handgun from the garage.

ay flowers are on the dining room table. They don’t come from my garden. They come from a grocery store.

I was diagnosed with a brown thumb.

I once had house plants. Not a lot of them, but enough to make the place look like nature had come indoors. One by one, they lost interest in me and drooped, sagged, and lost their color.

There is plenty of color around here: my paintings, all stacked and waiting for the call from The Met that will never come.

But color out of the tube is not the same as color out of the ground.

This year I decided to buy some fresh flowers once a week.

This week I have a flowering anthurium plant. It is beautiful, exotic and erotic. After I got it home, I read the little soil sign that came with it, and found out something I didn’t know.

“It has an air purifying effect.”

Who figured that out, and how?

“Several anthuriums in a room reduce the harmful substances in buildings by 50 percent in 24 hours.”

However, mine is incapable of reducing the harmful substances manufactured by a dachs-

hund puppy. That’s why we have “Teresa,” who is a dog whisperer, a giraffe whisper, and a mountain lion whisperer.

Her clients call her Mother Teresa, she said, and Jennifer and I found out why almost immediately.

The Lunging Dervish, the Red Zephyr, the Flying Tempest became a polite and wellbehaved young squire, willing to cooperate in abeyance.

I looked at her, I looked at Harry, I looked back at her, and said, “How did you do that?”

She came with treats: lots of them, in her pocket, and I asked her, “What’s in those?”

She assured me that she wasn’t drugging the little fiend.

Harry behaved like a show dog, until Teresa left. Then we made eye contact, and he danced on the ceiling again, just like Fred Astaire once did.

I have to be honest with you.

Harry’s behavior — at least some of it — is welcome around here.

He has speed and energy and zip, and turns into a dynamo several times a day.

I had those things years ago. Now I reminisce.

I am childless and no one’s uncle or grand-

father.

Harry is as close as I will get from here on out to a son.

When it comes to training some of his behavior out of him, I am a “C” student. That’s where Jennifer comes in.

She’s has measured patience, but only so much of it.

One thing we have in common: no one yells at Harry, and no one raises a hand either.

Teresa sends me videos and articles and studies, and they all point toward a productive and caring and loving relationship between the owner and the dog.

By the way, the dog just came into the office and looked up at me. That’s all it takes, sometimes, to wick away the solemnities of the Real World, at least for a few minutes.

Flowers have a therapeutic effect, like pets do, but I’ll take a dog any day to provide the greater effect of a response.

Harry has a very therapeutic tail. A few wags at the right time make the day as bright as a bouquet.

Good, better and best options and outcomes WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

W

henever I go into an ice cream shop, notice I didn’t say “if ” I go into an ice cream shop, it’s when I go into an ice cream shop because anyone who knows me knows it is only a matter of “when” and not “if.” Anyway, whenever I go into an ice cream shop I am evaluating my options. Good would be a single scoop cone or cup, a better option would be a double scoop waffle cone, and the best option would be a banana split. And sometimes, if I am watching my calories and sugar, I find that although I think the best approach or option is a banana split, it really is a small cone or cup.

In almost every situation or opportunity that we face, we can probably come up with several game plans or strategies to accomplish the task at hand. We can also agree that in most cases there is a right way and a wrong way to go about things. The wrong way is usually quickly found out, and we just hope that we find it out before we have gone too far, and we are forced to start all over. And the right way could also include a good, better, and best approach as we consider our options before moving forward.

I like the good, better, best thought process and approach. It makes me think about my

time and resources that are available and what my real desired outcome is for a particular project or initiative. It also forces me in most cases to clearly see that I just don’t want a good outcome, or a better outcome, I want the very best outcome. It keeps me from settling for something less than what I wanted.

Now in some instances, accepting a good approach is the very best approach we can take.

There may be a project that needs to be completed and knowing that we are striving for as good of an outcome as we can get at that time means that we follow the strategy and approach that will lead us to that good outcome.

Did we want something better? Yes. Did we want the very best outcome? Absolutely. But sometimes we have to take advantage of what the world or the situation or timing is offering and accept that a good outcome is better than a bad outcome, and sometimes it is the best outcome for that moment.

Here’s another example. Let’s say I had intended on getting my full workout in, but unfortunately another urgent and important

CareMaps help you visualize your community of care

T

he journey of caregiving presents physical, cognitive, emotional, psychosocial, spiritual and financial challenges. Thus, it’s beneficial to consider the potential twists and turns of the caregiving trek. An experienced caregiver will tell you, pro-action beats reaction every time! Granted, we aren’t clairvoyant and can’t predict what is around every curve. However, when dealing with a serious, progressive disease process, the requirements of care will increase over time. Furthermore, if the prognosis indicates a long and arduous journey, flying solo as a caregiver is not recommended. Instead, a community of care is advisable.

Collaborative care — a model of caregiving predicated on the creation of a network of caregivers to share in the responsibilities of care results in a community of care. This approach to care is counter-culture. The predominant model of family caregiving in the United States is that of a primary caregiver — a person who bears responsibility for the lion’s share of caregiving duties. As a result, primary caregivers often compromise their own health and

commitment came up last minute. Instead of having 60 minutes in the gym, my time would only be 20 minutes. Not the best outcome I had planned for, but a good option that would give me 20 minutes of intense cardio rather than no workout at all. For me a good approach is 30 minutes in the gym, a better approach is 45 minutes, and the best approach is 60 minutes. A bad approach is zero minutes. So in this case, the good option of 20 minutes was indeed the best option.

One of the areas where I highly encourage people to follow a good, better, best approach is in our relationships. When we think about the good things we can do for someone we love, can we stop and think about what it is we could do better? And when we are doing things better already, could we stop and think about what we could do

well-being in the process of caring for a family member or friend — a reality realized far too late.

CareMaps — a proLIVING AND cess created by Atlas AGING WELL of Caregiving — is a simple yet powerful way to create a visual representation of your current as well as future caregiving scenario. You can create your CareMap using pen and paper or the online digital option. As we all Jane Barton know, a picture is worth a thousand words. Seeing your situation highlights the gaps in care, the needed resources, the availability of other caregivers, the potential risks posed by your current situation, and future caregiving needs.

After attending a recent workshop on collaborative care and CareMaps, a couple shared what they learned after going through the CareMaps process.

The gentleman is caring for his wife, who was diagnosed with a progressive neurological disease a few years ago.

that would be the absolute best? Our relationships and our loved ones are so very important, and if we only ever settle for doing the good things, we are shortchanging those we love the most by not giving them our absolute best.

And if we would just hit the pause button long enough to ask ourselves if we are doing good, better, or best, we will probably see the best option more clearly and can then do our very best for those we love so much.

So how about you? What does your good, better, best approach look like?

Does settling for the good when you know you could do better bother you or inspire you? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we know what our good, better, and best options and outcomes look like, it really will be a better than good week.

Both are of the opinion that CareMaps opened their eyes to the reality of their situation. Upon reviewing and discussing their CareMap, the husband recognized the need for additional hearts and hands in caring for his wife.

Furthermore, they identified a fabulous source of help — their neighbors. So, they are proactively recruiting their neighbors to assist as needed. And their neighbors are enthusiastically enlisting — eager to be a part of the collaborative community of care. The experience of this lovely couple gives credence to the sentiment that seeing is believing.

SUMMER CONCERT LINEUPS

the summer

with national, local musicians Options abound for outdoor concerts around Denver metro area

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood resident Tim Litherland and his wife love spending their summer evenings under the stars at Lakewood’s Heritage Center, sipping on a libation and listening to live music under the stars.

“Even if we didn’t live in the Lakewood area, we’d come to see these concerts,” said Tim Litherland, a season ticket-holder to Lakewood’s Sounds Exciting! Summer Concert Series. “We really enjoy the setting, people we’re surrounded with, and the variety of musicians we get

to see perform.”

During the summer months, it seems like every city around the metro area takes to a park or outdoor amphitheater to host outdoor concerts.

So that means music fans in the area are spoiled for choice when it comes to their evening plans.

“These concerts are the way music is supposed to be heard,” said Jen Reinhardt, the Town of Castle Rock’s event specialist. Castle Rock recently announced its third summer concert series season. “We have one of the most amazing acoustic setups, and when you add the views, it’s hard to beat.”

The cities usually split into two categories — those featuring nationally known touring performers, and those showcasing the variety of talented locally based musicians.

oulder physician Mark Strom remembers his time working with fellow physician John Sarno in New York City very clearly.

“I almost couldn’t believe the patients he was seeing were getting better,” Strom said. “The patients themselves couldn’t believe it was really happening. Which makes his story one really worth telling.”

Sarno pioneered methods for treating chronic pain that included the psychological roots of pain. Known as Tension Myoneural Syndrome COMING (TMS), this is a psychoATTRACTIONS somatic illness causing chronic back, neck, and limb pain which is not relieved by standard medical treatments.

Other illness like gastrointestinal problems, dermatological disorders and repetitivestrain injuries may also be TMS related.

Clarke Reader While his ideas were controversial and remain that way, more people are subscribing to the notion that a person’s unconscious plays a big role in their physical health.

Now, Sarno’s story is being told in the documentary, “All the Rage,” a new film by directors Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley. The film uses Sarno’s work to tackle the pain epidemic and resulting opioid crisis facing the country. It features interviews with celebrity patients including Howard Stern, Larry David and Bernie Sanders.

“We are not saying that it is ‘all in your head’ because the symptoms and pain are real. Only that it may start in your head and, therefore, some of the answers may also be in your head,” said Hawley said in a statement. “We have seen such an emotional outpouring from the audiences after our screenings all across the country.

People are moved to share their stories and talk about their pain.”

Sarno died in 2017, but recent articles in the medical journal The Lancet have given his theories a new wave of support.

Poor treatment of back pain has been among the main issues fueling the opioid epidemic.

“It’s a fascinating way of treating people, and an option that doesn’t rely on prescriptions,” Strom said. “Sarno was never really accepted during his lifetime, but all the people who he helped have been spreading the word of his work for years.”

The film recently screened in Boulder and Denver and is now availablefor streaming at www.vimeo.com/ondemand/alltherage.

Venues like the Arvada Center, Castle Rock’s Amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park, Denver’s Botanic Gardens and Littleton’s Hudson Gardens all bring in names that almost everyone will recognize, like Pat Benatar, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Amos Lee and Sheryl Crow.

One of the most exciting concerts for Reinhardt is David Pack’s Legends Live on Saturday, Aug. 18. The show features a kind of supergroup, made up of Gary Wright (singer of “Dream Weaver” and more), John Elefante (former lead singer of Kansas), Jim Peterik (founder and singer of Ides of March, songwriter in .38 Special, and formerly of Survivor), David Pack (former lead singer of Ambrosia) and jazz pianist David Benoit.

“We make sure all our concerts are family-friendly events that are great options for a child’s first concert,” Reinhardt added.

“We want to make it an easy night for everyone, one that turns into a great time for everybody.”

The key to a successful concert season is variety, and that’s what every venue, no matter the reach, strives for.

That’s why audiences will see a blend of everything from bluegrass and rock to jazz and R&B.

Planners like Rebecca Gushen, community events coordinator with Lakewood’s heritage Center, spent countless hours listening to local musicians and crafting the perfect season.

One such artist that Gushen found that she thought would be great for Lakewood audiences is Rob Drabkin, who will be performing on Aug. 8.

She heard his performances and thought he would be a wonderful new voice to share.

“Of course, you want to bring in artists that people know and enjoy, but we also really like bringing new artists that our audiences hasn’t heard before,” Gushen said. “We have some great world music and Afro-funk artists who will be performing for audiences this summer.”

Most of these concert venues offer more than just great music — there are typically food trucks, beer gardens or custom created drinks, and at some of local shows, there’s a chance to meet the performers.

“There’s an energy in these experiences that you don’t get anywhere else,” Litherland said. “When there’s not a bad seat in the house, it’s hard to go wrong.”

Roxborough Arts Council gallery is bright space in Aspen Grove

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Before Christmas, members of the Roxborough Arts Council opened a temporary gallery at Aspen Grove in Littleton — and it went so well that it remains open today and into the future, during the shopping center’s hours. There are presently 29 artists from the council who are gallery members, as well as a waiting list, including artists from throughout the south area in Douglas, Arapahoe and S. Jefferson Counties.

As a visitor walks into the bright space, (toward the south end of the part of the center running north and south, near J. Jill,) one is struck by a sense of color and textures swirling around, demanding attention, as one of sculptor Randy May’s

whimsical birds seems ready to demand a treat! Jewelry sparkles and a very large, workshopped zebra photo seems perfect for a sleek contemporary interior — perhaps a commercial space. Leah Hendricks’ “Terrascapes” are mixed media creations that include paint, bones, pebbles, grasses.

Each member has a limited space for display on the walls and in attractive display cases (on wheels, so they can be moved back to accommodate classes when scheduled).

The gallery holds a special “Second Friday” open house monthly and is open to the public daily.

The Roxborough Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) organization and member of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. Its mission is to bring

artists and others together and provide venues for member artists to exhibit their works, plus forums for them to share information and provide feedback for artistic growth.

Upcoming classes are posted, scheduled for about three hours each or less — rather than ongoing — include “Monet’s Poppy Field,” masterpiece class: 1-3 p.m. on May 6 ($35); Adult Bronze, noon to 2:30 p.m. on May 20 and June 10 ($54); Kidz Bronz, taught by Patricia Jenkins, 3 to 5:30 p.m. May 20 and June 10 ($54). It seems to invite family projects. The group is excited about kids’ community art projects, we were told.

Most art displayed would be considered representational, although it varies considerably in size, technique and medium.

Fine crafts are also handsome-

Jazz orchestra coming to Lone Tree Arts Center Basie, Ellington, Wonder wrote musical pieces to be performed

IF YOU GO The Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra, CJRO, will perform at 7:30 p.m. May 11 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Tickets start at $24. Call 720-5091000 or visit lonetreeartscenter.org.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“I started the CJRO (Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra) out of respect and affection for this art form,” said Lone Tree resident Art Bouton, who is professor of saxophone and co-chair of jazz studies at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music. In 2012, the orchestra debuted at Lone Tree Arts Center, drawing musicians Bouton considered to be “the best players around … We’ve played this music before, but it is entirely different when it is in a concert setting with great players and an attentive audience.”

The CJRO will return to the Lone Tree Arts Center for a concert called “The Duke, The Count and Stevie too!” at 7:30 May 11, with support from the Lone Tree Cultural Foundation.

Expect to hear music from the libraries of Duke Ellington and Count Basie: “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing,” I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “My Cherie Amour,” and new arrangements from the orchestra’s upcoming recording of Wonder’s music: “Overjoyed, the Music of Stevie Wonder.” In 2016, the CJRO recorded “Invitation,” with arrange-

COURTESY PHOTO ments of classic big band tunes by current band members, Bouton said.

It was released internationally.

CJRO vocalist Heidi Schmidt will perform with the band on May 11.

Schmidt, who has sung with the band for five years, was born in Denver, then moved to Saudi Arabia and Romania with her family. She returned to Denver to complete studies in music and international relations at The University of Denver. She teaches at Red Rocks Community College and continues to sing professionally.

Included in the CJRO roster, in addition to Bouton: co-chair of jazz studies at Lamont School of Music and Maynard Ferguson alum Steve Weist, trombone; pianist Eric Gunnison, who has

played for jazz vocalist Carmen MacRae and with the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Band; trombonist and Woody Herman alum Paul McKee; drummer Mike Marlier; and bassist Bijou Barbarosa …

In recent years, jazz trumpeter Greg Gisbert has performed regularly with the CJRO. According to an internet history, he played drums with his father while attending Walt Whitman Elementary School in Littleton.

He attended Heritage High School and played with the 1983-84 McDonald’s All American High School Jazz Band. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and recorded with jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut as part of Phil Wilson’s Rainbow Band, which led to an offer to go on tour with Buddy Rich, embarking

on an impressive career. He plays lead trumpet with Wynton Marsalis’ Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and is a founding member of Convergence, which often performs at Dazzle Jazz, and had an eight-week residency at Nocturne Jazz and Supper Club in Denver.

During earlier career years, he helped in south area schools with other local jazz professionals and educators in after-school education programs we visited.

Bouton said the orchestra has performed for large audiences at the Arvada Center, PACE Center, Lakewood Cultural Center and the Rialto Theater in Loveland in the past four years. PACE has also featured a smaller ensemble in the renovated Schoolhouse Theater on several occasions.

Looking ahead: the CJRO will perform in Arvada Center’s amphitheater on July 21, featuring vocalist Steve Lippia, recreating the famous recording “Basie and Sinatra, Live at the Sands.”

In the next season the orchestra will present “The Music of Count Basie with Ray Charles” at the PACE Center and four themed concerts at the Arvada Center.

IN THEIR BUSINESS “There’s a time when you just need to let the next generation take over what you’ve started,” Tim White said in a news release. “We’re not naïve to the fact that we’re in a fast-changing time and that requires a lot of talent and energy. We’re very fortunate as an organization to have those people on board.”

White Construction names new president Chris Haugen, a 21-year veteran of White Construction Group, based in Castle Rock, has been promoted to president of the firm.

Haugen joined the firm in 1997 as a carpenter looking for short-term employment, and after 21 years, has held a variety of positions including carpenter, project manager, estimator, senior estimator and, most recently, vice president of business development.

Tim White, founder and former president, and Doug Decker, 28-year veteran and former vice president, will transition out of daily operations and into board-level positions of chairman and vice chairman of the board, respectively.

JR Keller, another longtime fixture at White, will be promoted to vice president of Operations.

Keller joined the company in 2003 and has served as project manager, estimator, senior estimator and operations manager.

Bill Thomas, the new vice president of finance, came to White in 2017 from Duro Electric where he worked as controller for the past seven years.

Artful design work honored Designs By Sundown was recently named a finalist in the ELITE Award category by Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado. The company was honored for its work on a local ranch and home.

Designs By Sundown, based in Littleton, planned a landscape that blended elements of city and country, modernity with Old World Morocco, and design with nature, according to a news release from Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado.

Designs By Sundown also revegetated a steep hillside to craft a landscape that would drain properly and merge with the surrounding open space.

The ELITE Award-winning projects reflect the 21st century values of sustainability, service and environmental

stewardship, the release said. The award illustrates how Colorado’s landscape companies deliver innovation, best management practices, originality, professionalism and problem solving, ALCC Executive Director John McMahon said in the release.

“These awards celebrate the connections between companies and clients to create and maintain landscapes that support Colorado’s outdoor lifestyles,” McMahon said.

Solar carport unveiled in Centennial A new solar carport unveiled April 25 at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Centennial is expected to offset more than 12,700 tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the next two decades, said a news release from SunPower, which designed and engineered the carport.

The solar carport is the second such carport in Centennial, which enjoys more than 250 days of sunshine each year. It includes more than 540 highefficiency SunPower solar panels that are expected to produce more than 400,950 kilowatt hours of energy dur-

ing the first year, and 11.6 million kWh over its projected 30-year lifespan.

“This solar carport is another example of Colorado’s leading role in clean energy technology,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said in the release. “It’s projects like these, and so many others around the state, that will help us achieve our climate goals.”

The project also includes the installation of high-efficiency LED lighting to further reduce the annual energy use load by 79,000 kWh. This will allow the solar project to produce 85 percent of the building’s energy needs, all from a clean renewable source.

The solar carport system was installed as a result of a public-private partnership between Centennial Sunrise Harvest, LLC, the U.S. General Services Administration, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the City of Centennial, Independent Power Systems and SunPower Corp.

The economics that made this project possible were provided by private investment capital from Centennial Sunrise Harvest, LLC, renewable energy credits from Xcel Energy and federal tax credits.

It’s a sacrifice bunt it can pay off High school baseball teams reap rewards by embracing an old-school play

More changes set for next year

by CHSAA council

O

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In today’s high school baseball, most of the attention is focused on pitch counts, hitting and base running.

A key sacrifice bunt often goes unnoticed. But it remains an important part of baseball, one that can help win games.

“Bunting is extremely important,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson.

“They don’t bunt as much as they used to, but it’s still a big part of our game, particularly in close games when you have to advance runners. A lot of teams have kind of gotten away from bunting, trying to play the big fly ball. I’m still old school. I like to hit and run, and I like to bunt.”

Bunting isn’t glamorous and getting a productive out doesn’t draw the same attention as a home run.

“I’ve seen a lot of bunting this year, honestly,” said D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco.

“Bunting is still alive. Nowdays, kids don’t like to bunt. They don’t want to sacrifice their at-bat.

It could be a great weapon, but I don’t know, they don’t like to sacrifice. wThat part of the game has changed... They want to hit it.

They want the glory. “ Bunting, however, can decide games the same as a walk-off hit.

“When you go up and down the order of nine guys, all your guys have to be able to hit the ball and bunt because it’s part of high school baseball,” said Arapahoe coach Jim Dollaghan. “Our guys have the green light to bunt any time they want to.

“When we do our bunting drills, we talked about the importance of it. When I give the bunt signal, the player should be proud that I have confidence in him, in the team game, to move the guy over.”

A sacrifice bunt, also called a sacrifice hit, is not counted as an at-bat. A sacrifice is when a batter bunts the ball before there are two outs in a manner that allows a runner or runners on base to advance to another base.

The batter almost always sacrifices his chance to a get a hit, but sometimes reaches base because of an error or fielder’s choice.

If runners still advance in that situation, the play is still scored a sacrifice and not an error or fielder’s choice.

Arapahoe’s Hunter Jackson pushes a sacrifice bunt down the first base line. He says bunting is sometimes overlooked but is very important to help a team win baseball games.

JIM BENTON

PUTTING IT INTO PLAY The following teams in Colorado Community Media’s coverage area had five or more sacrifice hits/bunts through games of mid-April, according to statistics compiled by MaxPreps: D’Evelyn: 10; Golden: 7; Chaparral: 6; Wheat Ridge: 6; Arvada West: 6; Horizon: 6; Jefferson Academy: 6; Heritage: 5; Ponderosa: 5; Standley Lake: 5; Ralston Valley: 5; Lakewood: 5; Pomona: 5 “Bunting in baseball is one of the most important things because if you get a guy on base, the way to move him over is to bunt and get him in scoring position for the next guy up,” said Arapahoe junior Hunter Jackson. “It is overlooked and some people look down on it , but a bunt is really a way to help out the team.

“Whenever I get the bunt signal, I try to get the bunt down and move the runner over so the next guy up can do his job.”

Mountain Vista senior Zach Paschke agrees.

“Bunting is a big part of high school baseball because a lot of kids don’t bunt,” he said.

“They think they can put it out of the park. When I get the bunt sign, I just want to get on base because I have the speed to do it.”

Most of the time, sacrifice bunts are not used in lopsided games, but are employed in close games when a run can determine the outcome.

And the bunt is a way for teams to play small ball and manufacture runs.

“We have a lot of guys that can bunt and we work on it all the time,” said Mountain Vista coach Ron Quintana. “Bunting is something else you can add to your toolbox.

“Everything in high school baseball is huge, but we work on our bunting game and we work on our bunt defense.

“I was there a few years ago with small ball when you can bunt and have team speed. You have to manufacture some runs and put pressure on the defense.

Early in the game, you want to manufacture but you do it in a different way.’’

Bunting can put pressure on the defense to execute and make quick decisions. It creates situations for physical and mental errors.

“In my opinion bunting has become a lost art,” said Ralston Valley coach Brad Madden.

“You see it very little in the professional game. College baseball is using it more now than ever before, and high school baseball is somewhere in between.

“If used correctly and in perfect timing, bunting whether it is for a base hit or as a sacrifice to move a runner into scoring position, can be the difference in a game. Sometimes the threat of person who is a good bunter makes the defense adjust their alignment and opens up more hitting lanes for a batter. Baseball has fallen in love with the home run, but a well-timed, well-placed bunt could be the difference in a victory.”

ne of the biggest changes to come out of the April 26 Colorado High School Activities Association Legislative Council meeting was that the council would have one meeting a year instead of two.

That means all the changes we will be hashing out, debating and adjusting to will now just be announced once a year.

The CHSAA has 73 OVERTIME representatives from 36 CHSAA league who vote on the rules and regulations that the CHSAA operates under. The Legislative Council is also responsible for approving or changing playoff formats that were submitted by sports, activities and administrative commitJim Benton tees.

Other news, and admittedly more significant, to come out of the April 26 Legislative Council session according to CHSAANow. com included the approval of the proposal to permit teams and individuals to participate in national events outside of the competitive sports season, but written permission from the school principal and CHSAA office is needed.

It used to be that teams and students could not be affiliated with their school at national competitions, so athletes would instead form a club but have the same coaches.

Last month, hockey teams from Valor Christian, Monarch and Regis Jesuit played in the USA Hockey national tournament but under club monikers.

There are also regional and national cross country, track, spirit, wrestling, and basketball and baseball events that Colorado high school athletes and teams enter.

The modified transfer rule passed by the Legislative Council that will go into effect June 1 means student athletes switching schools without a bona fide family move or hardship waiver will be ineligible for 365 days.

Under the previous rule, transfers could keep 50 percent of their eligibility the next season.

CHSAA legal counsel Alex Halpern told CHSAANow.com there were around 1,800 transfer requests this year. About 1,300 of those requests fell into the grouping of granting 50 percent eligibility and bona fide moves. Another 500 went to CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green, who had to rule on the transfers.

The Legislative Council hopes that approved tweaks in the way classifications are created will result in better competitive equity.

Enrollment will remain a factor when putting schools into classes for all sports SEE BENTON, P31
