Resources for the homeless in Arapahoe County In Englewood-Littleton area and beyond, services help homeless, people in poverty BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When most people are sleeping, dry and warm in their homes, others around the Denver metro area are fighting the freezing winter temperatures outdoors, trying to survive night after night on the streets. In general, there is a lack of overnight shelter in Arapahoe County, a problem that persists as the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative’s yearly statistics continue to paint a picture of increasing homelessness in the area. Last year, leaders in Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan approved the Tri-Cities Homeless Action Plan, designed to be carried out over the next three years. Among the recommendations in the plan is to create “a central navigation center” — a dedicated space to help people experiencing homelessness learn about services and apply for programs, such as available housing services, the plan says. It could take years before the cities build the proposed center. In the meantime, people without homes in the south metro area will continue to rely on a patchwork of resources. Here is a list of many of the resources in the Englewood, Littleton and Centennial areas for people experiencing homelessness and for others who are living on low incomes. The list includes some services in nearby areas outside Arapahoe County. Some information in this list comes from a brochure by the

Homelessness, housing, mental health and business support are among the main targets of dozens of millions in spending planned so far by Arapahoe County after receiving funds under the federal American Rescue Plan Act. The American Rescue Plan Act is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill signed into law in March 2021 with a goal to support the economic and public health recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the county said in a news release. The county has begun distributing the one-time bucket of federal funds it received in 2021, the Feb. 11 news release announced. “Arapahoe County will be the responsible steward for these funds by allocating them where they’re needed most across the community,” said Nancy Jackson, the chair of Arapahoe County’s elected leaders, the board of county commissioners. “We’ve already begun creating or expanding numerous programs and initiatives to address issues that fall outside of our normal budgetary limits and were exacerbated by COVID-related factors,” Jackson continued.

IDs for vaccines a question of parents rights and health care Requiring IDs can hamper outreach, exacerbate inequity, researcher says BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On Jan. 25, Littleton Public Schools made the decision to end hosting COVID-19 vaccine clinics after two minors, a 15-year-old Littleton High School student and a homeschooled 16-year-old, lied to clinic staff in videos to see if they could get approved for a shot without parental consent. The deception worked, with the 15-year-old giving staff a fake consent form and the 16-year-old lying about his age, saying he was 20, though neither ends up going through with getting a vaccine. Still, their parents said the videos proved that clinics need better guidelines to ensure younger people cannot get a vaccine without a parent’s OK. The most obvious solution, they said, was to check IDs. “(The Colorado health department) took away the ability for us to determine how old somebody is that opened up a giant loophole to put children in harm’s way,” said Gregg McGough, the father of 15-year-old Owen McGough, one of the two minors involved. But according to a social policy and healthcare researcher, avoid-

ing I.D. requirements has been an essential pillar for avoiding vaccine inequity. And the guideline of allowing minors some healthcare without parental approval is nothing new. “It really is a crucial component in ensuring equitable access to healthcare in general,” said Jennifer Greenfield, an assistant professor at the University of Denver, whose work focuses on the intersection between social policy and health disparities. For children with families who may be undocumented in the U.S., as well as families with disabilities and transportation issues, IDs can be out of reach and the need for one would pose a barrier to healthcare access, Greenfield said. The same is true

for those who may be experiencing homelessness. “Housing insecurity, not having stable permanent addresses, certainly can get in the way of getting an ID,” Greenfield said. By removing the need to show ID, vaccine providers can reach more vulnerable populations who may not otherwise feel comfortable, or have the ability, to show up for a shot. This was front of mind for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), when it issued guidelines on Jan. 17, 2021, telling providers to not ask for ID, though they may seek a name, date of birth, or address. “We understand that while vaccine supply is limited, providers are looking to verify age so that they know they are vaccinating groups within the current prioritization phase(s),” the agency said in a letter to vaccine providers. “However, requiring proof of ID, especially a government-issued ID, can exacerbate distrust and accessibility inequities for many critical groups. This requirement is a barrier for people who are unable to get identification or have trouble accessing services that issue IDs, such as those who are undocumented, experiencing homelessness, have a disability, or others on the margins of society who are unable to get an ID.” Greenfield said the practice of allowing minors to access healthcare at schools without their parents’ consent is nothing new. “It’s actually a longstanding policy
for school-based health clinics in Colorado,” she said, adding that this could apply for some mental health resources, STD testing and birth control. When it comes to the COVID vaccine, Greenfield said the benefits of reaching great swaths of vulnerable populations outweigh the risks of approving shots for kids who haven’t gotten their parents’ OK. “There’s more potential harm for the kids going unvaccinated,” she said. “If you look at all of the data about the efficacy of the vaccines, the potential side effects … when you compare all of that information it becomes clear that having a higher percentage of our population vaccinated and a higher percentage of our kids vaccinated is good for kids, good for families and good for our communities.” Fears have spread online and throughout communities about the safety of vaccines for children. Greenfield said that the risks posed by contracting COVID are far greater, especially from the still-unknown effects of long COVID. “That’s a huge public health concern,” she said, adding that there are also immediate impacts such as hampering a family member’s ability to return to work. Still, she said she understands the contention at play in Littleton. “There’s this sort of tension between parents’ rights to determine their child’s healthcare versus the social good of having children have access to healthcare … and I think that is definitely at play here.” But Greenfield said she wants parents to know that maintaining easy accessibility to school-based healthcare, whether for the COVID vaccine or other resources, is crucial. “We know that school-based health clinics have been incredibly effective in reducing barriers for healthcare for kids,” adding that it has ripple effects on a child’s wellbeing when they don’t have to leave the school for healthcare. As a working parent herself, Greenfield said she knows too well the stress of having to schedule appointments with pediatricians and take her children out of school for several hours, something she had to do when she vaccinated her kids. “They missed reading and math that day,” she said.

Centennial man found after going missing Sheriff’s office was seeking 59-year-old from west Centennial BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A Centennial man with a medical condition went missing Feb. 10 and was found the next day, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Faustin Havugimana, 59, was last seen leaving his home in the 6200 block of South Albion Way in west Centennial — along Colorado Boulevard south of Orchard Road — at 2 p.m. Feb. 10, to walk to Lois Lenski Elementary School to pick up his grandchild, but he never arrived, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
He has a condition for which he needs medication. He is from Rwanda and only speaks his native language of Kinyarwanda; he does not speak English, the release said. An active search was underway for Havugimana as of the afternoon Feb. 11 amid cold weather conditions, the sheriff’s office tweeted. “Deputies are using drones to search creek beds and the mounted unit is patrolling nearby trails. No sightings yet and temps are dropping fast,” the sheriff’s office tweeted. Havugimana was found around 3 p.m. in Greenwood Village, the sheriff’s office said in another tweet later that afternoon. “He is alert but in need of medical care. Our deputies are speaking to him now. Thank you everyone for sharing the post and getting the word out,” the sheriff’s office tweeted.
Man arrested after running over deputy’s legs, sheriff’s office says Suspect allegedly eluded, fought with deputies after call of an unwanted person BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man after he drove over a deputy’s legs, leading authorities on a short chase, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities received a call about an unwanted person at a residence about 6:20 p.m. on Feb. 7, according to a news release. The location was near East Cresthill Avenue and South Saint Paul Way, not far from University Boulevard and Arapahoe Road in west Centennial. The suspect, Yuri Dudik, 32, was a guest in the house and had been asked to leave several times but did not want to go, the news release said. He then exited the house. Deputies arrived and walked up to the house to contact the residents, and then a vehicle started up, turned toward a deputy standing on the lawn and struck the deputy, according to the news release. After the deputy was knocked down, the vehicle’s wheel ran over his legs, according to Deputy John Bartmann, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office. The suspect then drove off. Other deputies arriving on the scene attempted to stop
the vehicle, and a short chase ensued, seeing Dudik go about a block and a half, Bartmann said. Deputies attempted a “pursuit termination technique” several times and eventually stopped the vehicle, the release said. The suspect drove into a tree, according to Bartmann. Dudik struck at deputies using a fishing hook, and two deputies sustained “very minor injuries” from the hook, Bartmann said. Dudik was then taken into custody. All the deputies involved are in good condition, Bartmann said on Feb. 8. The deputy who was run over was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated and released with only minor injuries, possibly because the grass he was on gave way, Bartmann said. Dudik was taken to a hospital, treated and then transported to jail. His injuries were minor from the crash. He was also hit by a taser twice, and part of his transport was to have the taser probes removed, Bartmann said. Dudik was booked into the Arapahoe County jail on the following charges: • Assault in the first degree on a police officer • Assault in the second degree on a police officer • First-degree burglary • Vehicular eluding • Driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol • Third-degree assault • Resisting arrest • Reckless driving

Employers can’t fire workers for using cannabis if new bill passes Medical marijuana usage at work also in House Bill 1152 BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado employers would be prohibited from denying employment to or firing workers because of their off-the-clock cannabis use – either medical or recreational – under a measure introduced last week at the statehouse. House Bill 1152 would also require employers to let their workers consume medical marijuana while on the job. The legislation would include exceptions for workers whose jobs are in dangerous fields or require fine motor skills, such as positions involving the use of heavy machinery. “Marijuana is legal in Colorado,” said state Rep. Brianna Titone, an Arvada Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. “And what people do in their spare time that doesn’t impact their work shouldn’t really be a problem for them. They should be able to enjoy the legal things that we have here in Colorado and not be penalized for it.” The bill seeks to answer a workplace question that has been swirling in Colorado since voters passed Amendment 64 in 2012, legalizing the sale and use of recreational cannabis. Most states that have legalized medicinal and recreational

pot leave the question over how to handle employees’ marijuana use up to employers, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Nevada and New Jersey are two exceptions. In New Jersey, employers can prohibit employees from using cannabis while on the job or showing up to work impaired. But they are not allowed to penalize an employee solely because of their off-the-clock recreational cannabis use.

In 2015, the Colorado Supreme Court sided with an employer, Dish Network, who fired an employee, Brandon Coats, who tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol – or THC – in a random drug test. Coats had a medical marijuana card as a result of back spasms caused by his quadriplegia. Muscle spasms is one of the seven debilitating conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended under Colorado law. The closely watched case highlighted a contradiction within Colorado’s stance on pot: marijuana may be legal in Colorado, but using it can still be grounds for termination. Titone and her co-prime sponsor of the bill, Rep. Edie Hooton, D-Boulder, think that shouldn’t be the case. “The whole idea is to signal to the business community and to employers that because we have legalized cannabis we should be following the same laws and rules that apply to alcohol and prescription drugs,” Hooton said. She also pointed out that medical marijuana generally comes in the form of a CBD product, not a THC product. The legislation was introduced on Feb. 4 and Hooton said she is still talking to the business and labor communities about it. Major opposition hasn’t cropped up yet, but it’s likely that employers who have drug-free workplace policies will push back on the measure. A
similar bill was rejected in 2020. “The National Federal of Independent Businesses has historically opposed any legislation that would (allow) the use of marijuana on the property of the employer or cause an employee to test positive for any prohibited drug or prohibit any authority of the employer to perform random drug tests,” said Tony Gagliardi, who leads the Colorado chapter of the group. “Marijuana remains illegal under federal law.” The Colorado Chamber of Commerce said it hasn’t taken a formal position on House Bill 1152, but that it’s opposed similar legislation in the past. Titone plans to pitch the measure as a way for employers to more easily find workers in Colorado’s tight labor market. But Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Douglas County, expressed early opposition to the concept. He has worked on a number of measures expanding medical marijuana access. Holbert pointed out that Amendment 64 included the following provision: “Nothing in this (ballot measure) is intended to require an employer to permit or accommodate the use, consumption, possession, transfer, delay, transportation, sale or growing of marijuana in the workplace to to affect the ability of employers to have policies restriction the use of marijuana by employees.” “That really did clarify that employers can have a 100% drugfree policy in their workplace, and that, in my opinion, should not be infringed upon,” he said. Holbert said he would encourage employers in Colorado, however, to know the difference between drug tests that can tell if someone has activated THC – which can indicate if someone is actively high – in their system or just traces of the substance. Colorado has a 5 ng/ml THC blood limit for drivers. People charged with a marijuana DUI in Colorado can argue that they were not impaired during the time of the alleged offense and that the THC in their bloodstream reflects prior or frequent consumption. As of Feb. 10, House Bill 1152 has yet to be scheduled for its first committee hearing. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Treatment, understanding of Alzheimer’s advanced in 2021 Possible link between COVID-19 and brain is among recent developments
‘It is the new treatment approved for Alzheimer’s since 2003.’ FDA
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In the second half of 2021, the world of Alzheimer’s research saw renewed excitement in a class of experimental Alzheimer’s drugs, according to a nonprofit that pushes for the prevention and cure of the disease. The buzz came amid the news that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Aduhelm, or aducanumab, for the treatment of Alzheimer’s, a memoryaffecting disease that worsens over time. “It is the first new treatment approved for Alzheimer’s since 2003,” the FDA said in a news release. The Colorado branch of the nonprofit Alzheimer’s Association highlighted some advancements made in understanding the disease in 2021. Treatments advance The key difference between the new treatment and old methods is that Aduhelm is the first drug approved by the FDA that addresses the underlying biology of Alzheimer’s, said Jim Herlihy, spokesperson for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Colorado chapter. “All previously approved medications have only provided relief from Alzheimer’s symptoms,” Herlihy said. “These (new) drugs

focus on enabling the immune system to clear protein in the brain before it forms the toxic clumps that drive the death of neurons in the brains of those with Alzheimer’s.” While the specific causes of Alzheimer’s are not fully known, the disease is characterized by changes in the brain — including “amyloid plaques” — that result in loss of neurons and their connections, according to the FDA. Those changes affect a person’s ability to remember and think. Aduhelm was approved using the “accelerated approval pathway,” which can be used for a drug for a serious or lifethreatening illness that provides a meaningful therapeutic advantage over existing treatments, according to the FDA. The Alzheimer’s drug pipeline heated up last year beyond just the approval of aducanumab, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. ON AVERAGE, AARP MEMBERS ENJOY

In the second half of 2021, there was renewed excitement in the class of experimental Alzheimer’s drugs that target beta-amyloid, according to the association. Those included drugs from Eli Lilly (donanemab), Eisai (lecanemab) and Roche (gantenerumab), all of which received “Breakthrough Designation” by the FDA in 2021. COVID in the mix Research appears to point to a link between COVID-19 and the brain, according to the association. In July, the Alzheimer’s Association’s international, multidisciplinary coronavirus group presented its first data on the short- and long-term consequences of COVID infection on the brain. The data suggested a link between COVID and persistent cognitive impairment, including the acceleration of Alzheimer’s symptoms. “Since COVID is relatively new, it is too soon to predict the longterm implications,” Herlihy said. “However, one study conducted over six months in nearly 300 older adults from Argentina who had COVID-19 found more than half had continuing problems with forgetfulness, and 25% had additional problems with cognition.” The risk of both contracting COVID and serious implications of it are higher as people age, Herlihy noted.
Race remains an issue Researchers are working to better understand how Alzheimer’s risk and progression differ in different populations, according to the association. “What is currently known is that Blacks are twice as likely as Whites to develop Alzheimer’s while Hispanics are 50% more likely than Whites,” Herlihy said. But researchers are also exploring other issues that could influence those trends, he added. That includes “level of education, the physical environment — air pollution, which can have economic implications, such as proximity to heavy industry, highways — and other factors that may play a role,” Herlihy said. “This research is ongoing.” Exercise key Research also pointed to another benefit of exercise on the brain, according to the association. An August 2021 study found a hormone produced by muscles during exercise can bolster the health of neurons and improve thinking and memory. “While the results are very preliminary, this offers more evidence that exercise is good for the long-term health of the brain,” according to the news release.

To protect those who may wander from home BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In 2004, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office began a collaboration of public and private entities to create what would become the Colorado Life Trak program. According to the department’s website, the program was designed to offer peace of mind for families with relatives who suffer from mental disorders and may wander from their homes.

“Using specially designed transmitters and tracking devices, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office has the ability to locate that person within minutes,” the website says. The program is only for people with disabilities who tend to wander, such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, Down syndrome, autism, PraderWilli syndrome and various brain injuries. Participants in the program must have a daily caregiver living with them. Other details about the program
include: • Participants are issued a free wristband transmitter that they wear 24 hours a day. • If the participant wanders, the caretaker should immediately call 911. • The sheriff’s office will dispatch specially trained locators with tracking devices that can locate the frequency of the transmitter worn by the participant. • Once the sheriff’s office has started the search using that technology,
the average time needed to locate someone is less than 30 minutes. • People can be tracked day or night, regardless of weather conditions.

iting the progression of the disease in people’s brains, earlier diagnosis will be key in helping people, Herlihy said. Any test, such as ones involving blood, eyes or saliva, “would be less invasive and less expen-

Man charged in death threat to superintendent Littleton district faced harassment, safety concerns after vaccine clinic videos BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
New details about the death threats sent to Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert and the board of education following controversy over a district-hosted COVID vaccine clinic convey days of anxiety, uncertainty and urgency for the district. The threats began shortly after two videos surfaced showing a 15-year-old Littleton High School student and a 16-year-old homeschooled student lying to clinic staff at Heritage High School on Jan. 21 about age and parental consent as part of a deliberate attempt to shut down the clinic. Threats led to at least one charge In a voicemail message left on Ewert’s phone at 9:05 a.m. Jan. 25, a caller threatened to inject Ewert with a syringe of anthrax, a deadly bacteria. A 48-year-old Thornton resident, Byron Clayton, is accused of making that call, according to Littleton Police Department Detective Sgt. Rob Eich. The department issued a citation on Jan. 26 alleging that Clayton committed harassment by phone or computer, including threats, according to Eich. “I heard you like to inject children with garbage and poison type of stuff without their parental consent ... I have a syringe full of anthrax to inject into you,” said the voicemail message, which was shared by Ewert with Colorado Community Media. The caller then went on to graphically describe how he believed Ewert would die from the injection. On Jan. 26, investigators for the Littleton Police spoke with Clayton’s mother, who told the investigators that her son holds very conservative and anti-vax political views and follows Q-Anon,

according to a police report. The police report lists Clayton’s previous criminal history as including indecent exposure, property damage and disturbing the peace. That same day, investigators interviewed Clayton at his workplace. The police report says Clayton first denied knowing anything about the call, but after being told that police would seek a warrant for his phone, he admitted to leaving the threatening voicemail “just to vent.” School board President Robert Reichardt sent an email on Jan. 25 to Ewert and other district staff saying the voicemail was “a threat to kill.” Superintendent sought more security The school board on Jan. 24 received an email, obtained by CCM through an open records request, comparing board members to Nazis who faced the death penalty during the Nuremberg Trials following the end of World War II. “Even those who said they were just doing their job got executed,” the email reads. And several online posts called for violence toward the district, according to the records provided by district staff. Commenters likened vaccinating children to child abuse and murder. “A Hot Lead Lunch is in need for child abusers,” one post reads. “There’s going to be bloodshed,

and that is not a threat. That’s a statement of how many parents will react,” reads another. One comment calls for “more school shootings” in Colorado and said the district should “start looking for a replacement superintendent now, so they will have a fresh body to take over with minimal loss of leadership.” Hundreds of other emails from dozens of senders that were obtained by CCM call for the ousters of the superintendent and board members, including threats of legal action and prison time. The threats led district leaders on Jan. 25 to call for increased security measures for the upcoming Jan. 27 board meeting that would see the teens involved in the video incidents and their parents speak publicly. “We will need a strong security and law enforcement presence at the Board meeting on Thursday evening,” Ewert wrote in an email to Reichardt, the board president, and Mark Edson, assistant director of security and emergency planning for LPS. On the morning of Jan. 25, the two videos that the teens had created gained national attention when they were posted on a rightwing Twitter account, “Libs of Tik Tok.” Both videos have since been deleted. Through their deception, the two minors were able to exploit
vaccine-clinic protocols and be approved for vaccines without legiti- r mate parental consent. Guidelines M from the Colorado Department of H Public Health and Environment v instruct vaccine providers not to c ask for ID, a provision intended v to make sure that undocumented, E unhoused, or other marginalized L c people can receive vaccines. The 16-year-old, Alexander Tallentire, lied about his age by givingd a fake birthdate indicating that he v was 20, and 15-year-old Owen Mc- t Gough handed staff a fake paren- r tal consent form. Neither actually g ended up getting the vaccine that h day, the videos showed and par- b d ents confirmed. But the children’s parents, Kar- i en Tallentire and Gregg McGough,E 7 claimed the videos showed how g staff had undermined parental authority and disproved an earlier statement made by Ewert on Jan. “ 20 to McGough that parents had to y be present for a child to receive a t y vaccine. Ewert, in a previous statement t to CCM, said he “incorrectly as- p i sumed that that was required” s and had been told by the Trit County Health Department on Jan. 25 that only parental consent b f was needed for unaccompanied I children. h f 24 hours of anxiety and urgency l As the videos circulated onM line, district staff raced to quell h a situation they saw as getting T out of control beginning on the afternoon of Jan. 24 and into the 3 s following day. o “As you can imagine, this has created another barrage of ugliF ness for LPS,” Ewert said in a Jan. 24 email at 4:27 p.m. that was sent to John Douglas, Tri-County A F Health executive director, and Melissa Sager, the agency’s policy v and public affairs officer. He add- f ed that the district might need a e c statement from Tri-County. Douglas responded at 5:21 p.m. p and said Tri-County was setting p w up a call with the Colorado Def partment of Public Health and Environment and Jogan Health, t who staffed the clinic at Heritage. a On Jan. 25, Ewert sent another 3 email flagging the need for more 2 o 4 SEE CHARGE, P9 F v o

News Digital, Timothy Nerozzi, reached out to the district at 11:20 a.m. Jan. 25 asking to speak with a school representative. “I could really use the school’s side of the story and your perspective of how this bizarre incident went down,” Nerozzi said in an email. “It seems like social media has begun blowing up this story without full context.” Nerozzi followed up with a second email at 2:07 p.m., again asking for the school’s stance. “I don’t want to go to press with only one side of the story, if possible,” he wrote. At 2:44 p.m., LPS spokesperson Diane Leiker sent Nerozzi a link
to a statement Ewert made earlier that day to the parents and staff. Nerozzi’s story was published that day. Two days later, Gregg and Owen McGough appeared on a segment of Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” during which Owen McGough said, “bringing the vaccine clinics into schools brings politics into schools.” Ewert, in a previous statement to CCM, said he was “disappointed that we would have kids be deceitful to prove a point around vaccination clinics.” “No one really realizes the upheaval that this caused in our school district,” he said.

What happened to debate?
n recent years, it is becoming more and more clear that we have lost the ability to debate, discuss and compromise. As a society, it feels more like we have settled into our own ideals, accept only the information that proves those and reject anything that might have us think about another side. FROM THE To see evidence of how bad this has EDITOR gotten, you need to look no further than the Douglas County School Board. On Feb. 4, I sat through the more than threehour meeting where board members dug in their heels, not accepting any responsibility for the events that have transpired and doing nothing but trying to make it clear why the other side was wrong. In reality, there is plenty of blame to go Thelma Grimes around for both the minority and majority members. To the majority, with the deciding votes in hand, you really could not just wait and hold public hearings? You really could not just give it some time to sort out? To the minority, can you really tell yourselves the Jan. 31 meeting was not a publicity stunt? In what world did you think that tactic was going to help a superintendent fighting for his job? Either way, both sides voiced their opinions and showed that good debate and compromise are not going to happen. As with most elected boards across the country, decisions are made solely by whichever side holds the majority at the moment. How can good, common-sense rules and legislation be made when our elected officials fail to compromise and listen to each other? No wonder election cycles keep bringing in new majorities. People get tired of what’s going on and decide they’ll vote in the other side in the next election. The following election, they are still tired and vote for another side. It is not just elected officials either. Look at how citizens are behaving. For some reason, social media has given us all this massive ego where we are not afraid to say and do whatever it takes to make our point. We watch only the news station that validates our viewpoints. When someone comes back with another point-of-view, the go-to reaction is to attack, call names and be as mean as possible. For proof of this, look no further than the Littleton School District. How in the world does someone think a death threat is warranted over a vaccine clinic? Why does a superintendent need to threatened for doing what he believes is best for his students? When did we lose the ability to see another point-ofview? For those of us who try hard to see the middle, it becomes harder and harder to dig through the rhetoric and form an opinion based on facts. How do we know what the facts are when so much information is spewed out there everywhere? How can we truly know facts when we only look to find the information that proves our viewpoints are valid? To stop the cycle, I challenge you to start considering the other side. Even when it is hard, think about another viewpoint. Or start watching a news channel you generally disagree with. I started doing this last year and have been impressed with the amount of information I would not have considered had I not considered another side.

Capital Markets Outlook sees more normal cycle
nvestors and advisors anxiously await the Capital Markets Outlook each year to help guide investment strategies for the next five years. We start with looking at the economic landscape and where we are in the business cycle and how markets are expected to behave. This year started out with significant volatility, the second most volatile January on record. Therefore, putting on the five-year lens is very helpful to make sure we are not making long-term decisions based on short-term reactions. Some of the data seem obvious at this point: Concerns over Russia flexing their military power; more variants of COVID-19 spreading; China’s productivity slowing due to continued lockdowns; and the threat-turned-reality of higher-than-expected inflation. Inflation has not exceeded 2.5% percent in the past 20 years but jumped up to 7% in December.¹ Investors who did not experience the 1970s and 1980s and live during high inflation, may have a very different viewpoint of investing during these times. Six out of 10 working Americans have not experienced inflation over 4%.² This may reduce the amount of volatility younger investors can handle compared to their older more-experienced parents. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated the Fed would begin raising rates to help curb inflation that is running hotter than expected. Many economists expect inflation to come down by year-end to a more reasonable 3% range. Bill Greiner, our chief economist, points out that this is still up from 2.4% just three months ago. We would expect to see economic growth slow down later this year, given the economic backdrop. There remains concern over higherthan-expected inflation (cooling by year end),

continued issues with COVID-19, supply chain shortages, higher wages, rents, and oil prices. Add in a mid-term election, and there is no wonder the stock market is having trouble finding direction. Our Chief Investment Strategist Jeff Krumpelman, CFA, stated in the Crystal Ball webinar that 2022 is not likely to be as bullish as the last Patricia Kummer two years, but still expecting growth, perhaps in single-digit returns. He would expect a correction, given the fact that we have had three consecutive years of double-digit returns. Corporate earnings are expected to be more “normal” such as the 4.9% year over year increases we have seen so far this earnings season, rather than the almost 11% average from prior years. The consensus is a more normal market cycle and more reasonable valuations. Investors should look for opportunities to trim profits and rebalance to keep a solid strategy during market volatility. It is important to stay properly diversified across asset classes that are appropriate for your time frame. Investors unfamiliar with how to construct a portfolio to hedge against inflation should meet with a fiduciary advisor to help them build a road map for the future. 1. Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2.

New connections, new information lead to new opportunities
I
n business as in life, sometimes we approach situations and people strategically, and other times we recognize opportunistic moments. When that happens, we try and capitalize on those times when fortune seems to smile down upon us. It reminds me about the question, “Would you rather be lucky or good?” And the appropriate answer is always, “I want to be both, lucky and good.” As much as these past two years have taken many of us out of our rhythm when it comes to seeing or meeting people, it has also created incredible opportunities to be opportunistic and strategic and to connect with more people than ever before. Social media platforms make it really easy to find people and begin new relationships, both personally and professionally. And virtual meeting technology continues to improve, making it feel like we are actually in the same room with the person we are meeting with virtually. One reality of the virtual world we live and work in is fatigue. Many of us spend our entire days on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, Google Hangout, or other such platform. In a future column I will share some tips and

techniques for avoiding burnout and fatigue. For now, I would share that if we can get comfortable with using these platforms coupled with the technologies and sites that allow us to make new connections and receive new information, it creates an environment for new
opportunities. Some of the businesses that I work with have shared that these past two years turned out to be the best years they have ever had in business. The salespeople on their teams figured out how to maximize all available resources and technology to find new prospects, build better and deeper relationships with customers, leverage data and insights based on the readily available access to information, and all of that helped them to find more opportunities to not only win more customers, but to serve their customers in such a way that it created raving fans. And although we all are aware of
what is being referred to as the “Great Resignation,” we are all probably aware of the job market that has an abundance of openings and opportunities. Many of you have reached out and shared some of your own success stories about connecting with people you had not known before, learning about companies you had never considered, and landing new positions in a role that you really wanted. New connections and new information led you to new opportunities. In my industry, training and development and motivational speaking, conducting sessions virtually was already happening pre-pandemic. And when the pandemic hit, some companies and speakers were well equipped to move meetings and training sessions to virtual platforms. Others had to catch up. But now two years later, we are finding that leveraging the power of technology and virtual training environments has improved the effectiveness of the training and transfer of knowledge. Additionally, the new people, departments, and teams we can connect with has made it easier to share information across an organization and created new opportunities for learning that was
otherwise unavailable in the past. Here we are in another Valentine’s Day week. Romance is in the air. How many couples have met by making new connections online, were introduced to someone through an online platform or service, had the ability to learn more about the other person to see if they were compatible, and created opportunities to get to know one another better? I know several couples in my own circle who have benefited from this level of connection, information, and opportunity. Are you making the most of your new connections and access to information? Have you noticed an increase in opportunities that have popped up for you, your family, or your friends over these past two years? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can harness the power of being lucky and good along with connection, information, and opportunity, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.
Why do we need a Black History Month? ’ve sometimes heard, “Why do we need a whole month focused on the history of only one race?” Well, how can we get educated about the significant but little-known (or unacknowledged) contributions that African Americans have made to our country? Such as the very foundation of our cities, government buildings, and transportation systems built on the backs of enslaved (mostly Black) folks. Many of us don’t know that much of the music and dance we think of as “American” actually came from African roots. In many schools, these facts are barely taught, if at all. As for the harm inflicted on these fellow Americans? In school, we are taught about the Civil War, but do we focus on the enslaved being 3/5 of a person in our Constitution, or the long, hard fight for voting rights (that is still being denied in some places)? How can we do better as a community or nation if we don’t know the whole truth of the buildings we walk into, the systems we engage with, or the culture we enjoy every day? That’s the purpose of having history and social studies in our school curricula, right? Applying that knowledge in our lives today makes us better citizens to fully understand where we come from and what we’ve designed, built, and sustained. As I’ve learned more through my master’s program and personal research over the last decade, I continually discover how much I don’t know (and should) about Black history in America, even Colorado. There are some things we should be proud of, for instance. Many don’t
know that Colorado was the first state in the country that had both a Black House speaker and Black Senate president leading our state legislature at the same time. I remember that year of 2009 well because that was my freshman Linda Newell year in the state Senate. I was proud and grateful for their stewardship. Recently, Colorado has passed some landmark legislation to prevent discrimination against Black people in employment, school, and in their daily lives. I’m hoping Coloradans are proud of these significant movements toward equity and equality in our state. But are we aware of some of our unspoken, unwritten history of harm in our Centennial state? While in the Senate, I learned that some of our desks on the floor, where we sat for hours each session, had housed legislators’ Ku Klux Klan hoods for their meetings in the evenings. Sitting at my desk, I’d look down occasionally at that space wondering if mine was one of those desks. Legislators elected to represent ALL the people were openly carrying their garb of hate with them onto that sacred floor. These, too, are the historical stories of Colorado. And they are just as important to know so that we never return to those days of open bigotry and hostility toward our neighbors. Or have we? I don’t have the space on the page

Hermitage offers countless hardcover books, many of which are collectible.

ook clubs are no longer confined to living rooms, and bookstores offer much more than just books with a whole new realm opening up for gatherings centered around reading. When entering Hearthfire Books and Treats in Evergreen, shoppers are greeted by a bright green wall of frozen yogurt machines and a topping bar. The shop also offers coffee, smoothies and shakes. Owner Kappy Kling believes she has created more than just a store but a space for community. “[It’s] a little oasis for kids and adults to be able to congregate and hang out,” she said. Kling sees many bookstores modifying their business models to attract new customers. “Bookstores over the years, with changes, have adapted by adding different things for engagement, especially smaller ones (bookstores),” she said. “So for us, the frozen yogurt was a big one of those.” Hearthfire attracts a big afterschool crowd from the local schools, and Kling enjoys providing a safe place for kids to hang out, have a snack and read. “It kind of gives these kids a little freedom,” she said. “It allows them to be themselves.” Creating community is also a central focus at BookBar on Tennyson Street in Denver. Nearly nine years ago, Nicole Sullivan was wishing she could have a book club meeting anywhere besides someone’s living room, and from that thought, BookBar was born. The popular bookstore offers wine, coffee and small plates to enjoy while reading and browsing books. Beyond just book club meetings, Sullivan says the shop sees a lot of first dates, girls’ nights, professional meetings and remote work. The pandemic has had its effect on all businesses, especially food and drink service. But when the going got tough for that side of

the business, books had BookBar’s back. Book sales kept the business operating until more of the nontraditional features of the shop — food and drink — could return safely. Sullivan says she thinks there is one secret to the continued success of bookstores. “The future of bookstores is community bookstores,” Sullivan said. And Sullivan is doing her part to ensure that. She not only owns BookBar but also The Bookies bookstore at 4315 E. Mississippi Ave. in Glendale. Together, the two independent bookstores have become a Public Benefit Corporation, offering the benefits of literacy, environmental sustainability, freedom of expression and diversity, equity and inclusion. Sullivan also has created a nonprofit called BookGive with 10% of book sales from both stores going to this organization. BookGive aims to get books into the hands of people who need them at schools, nursing homes, homeless shelters and more. The group has donated nearly 100,000 books since its inception. Some bookstores, like Hermitage Antiquarian Bookstore in the Cherry Creek area of Denver, are sticking to a more traditional model, however. Robert Topp has owned his book business for nearly 50 years, making it the oldest independent bookstore with one owner in the city. His store only offers hardback books, and 20% of the inventory is considered collectible. While he may not have changed his business model, Topp does see a changing audience in his store. He originally thought his customers would grow old with him, but instead, he has seen something different. “Saturdays, it’s almost everyone under 40,” he said. He laughed and said one misconception about young readers is that they only read Stephen King. Topp thinks people are SEE BOOKSTORE, P15

From the 1700s to 1960s Paris, with laughs ‘The Liar’ is adapted for remarkable evening of fun on stage BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Pierre Cornielle wrote “The Liar” in the 17th century, set in 1643, but I’m thinking Dorante is a guy most of us have met at some point along the way — in the neighborhood, in the office, at professional meetings ... Dorante (Ryan George,) makes his debut in this funny role at the Arvada Center, clad in a colorful striped suit — and talks and talks to Cliton (Topher Embrey), who becomes his sidekick shortly. Dorante is determined to land a woman ... and his motives are not the most admirable. He cannot tell a truth — he lies and exaggerates non-stop — with a straight face and graceful body and big dark eyes, which do twinkle a bit. This must be a difficult but fun role. I’d imagine keeping a straight face while building a huge wall of lies must be challenging every time George pulls on that silly suit and steps onstage. Contemporary, versatile American playwright David Ives translated Cornielle’s really slapstick comedy, which director Geoffrey Kent describes as including “a metric ton of lies ...” Ives has a body of work in his own plays in addition to the translations of French farces. Kent set “The Liar” in Mod 1960s Paris, and the cast includes Dorante, twins Clarice and Lucrece (Noelia Antweiler and Constance Swain), their gum-chewing maid, Isabelle (Kristina Fountaine), who also plays Sabine, Dorante’s bumbling father, Geronte (Logan Ernstthal) and Philiste (Jihad Milhern). In Shakespeare’s time, Cliton and Philiste would probably be household servants, but in 1960s Paris, they’re part of the scene. And then there’s Alcippe (Sean Scrutchens), who woos Lucrece — or is it Clarice? — twins cause

confusion. He is comically certain of his prowess as a suitor and one would doubt that a young woman would take him seriously ... And I’m sure his counterpart existed in Cornielle’s 17th-century France ... One can picture him with embroidered coat, high wig and pointy shoes! Dorante’s papa just wishes his son would settle down and get married — but which of those twins is which?

modern references.” He continues: “French comedies (similar to Shakespeare) open up for me when we bring them closer to home and our own lived history. In a play rife with sexual tension and full-throated pursuit of love at any cost (if not forever, at least for right now) this tale wears the 1960s like a pair of skin-tight vinyl Andy Warhol painted GoGo boots.” The cast of actors is a mix of classically-trained, versatile men and women and watching them at work was pure pleasure. Rhyming couplets in a contemporary English roll off the tongues like smooth buttery syrup — and they pretty much can keep a straight face as they speak out those rhyming couplets. Ives’ language is easy to understand and laugh at, while it contains a classical edge. Most cast members are members of Actors Equity — all are real pros. It really takes this level of professional skill to pull off one of these classic farces well — or any comic script for that matter and

Diamond, directed by Jada Suzanne Dixon. Consult Arvada Center’s website for dates of each play, all performed in the lovely Black Box Theatre. I so look forward to seeing these actors on other roles — including farm animals!

Colorado’s pension system missed out on millions Lawmakers parked cash in low-interest account BY DANIEL DUCASSI THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado’s pension system missed out on millions of dollars in potential investment revenue as a result of lawmakers’ decision last year to park money in a low-interest bank account, according to an analysis by nonpartisan legislative staff. The legislature set aside $380 million last year in a low-interest bank account to ensure the state could still support the Public Employees’ Retirement Association in the case of an economic downturn. But nonpartisan legislative staff say the General Assembly should rethink that strategy and instead dump all of the money into PERA now so that the dollars can be invested and yield a much higher return. State Sen. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, who sits on the powerful Joint Budget Committee, summed up nonpartisan JBC staff’s concerns in five words: “Our money isn’t making money.” How to best use the $380 million is the latest question in the legislature’s yearslong quest to adequately fund PERA, which has been a perennial political lightning rod at the Capitol. PERA has more than $30 billion in unfunded future obligations to pensioners. Lawmakers must now decide whether to keep stashing money for future years and potentially miss out on hundreds of millions of dollars in investment income, or to put the money directly into PERA to get the biggest financial return. The state is required to kick in $225 million to PERA each year as part of a 2018 deal to rescue the system, though lawmakers decided to skip a payment in 2020 to help balance the budget during the early days of the pandemic. The payments help cover PERA’s future pension obligations, which state workers have been increasingly asked to shoulder, even as their benefits are
reduced. The $380 million that lawmakers set aside last year has yielded roughly $1 million in the past year, a return of less than 1%. Money put into PERA is expected to make an average annual return of 7.25% over the long term, legislative staff said. But last year, when stocks soared, it made a 25% return. “The question is,” JBC staff analyst Robin Smart said, “do I put my money in a savings account that’s earning me 0.35%? Or do I put my money into a diversified plan that is earning me seven and a quarter or more over time?” Smart acknowledged that lawmakers have other priorities, but said they should keep in mind their financial obligations to PERA because that can affect the state’s broader budget picture. “If creating new things means that over the long haul, we destabilize the other stuff that’s actually keeping this state stable and functioning, then we have a problem,” Smart said. “What I likened it to was basically spending money to remodel your bathroom and not addressing the termites that are eating the load-bearing beams.” Smart and JBC staff recommended that the legislature clear out the $380 million cash fund and put it all into PERA. And their analysis emphasized the financial prudence of investing more money today rather than keeping it in the bank: for every $100 million the state puts into PERA above the annually required $225 million, they project a reduction in unpaid future obligations of $374 million. For that reason, JBC staff recommended lawmakers consider bumping up the July payment to PERA by at least another $100 million. Smart also pointed out that even though lawmakers created the $380 million cash fund specifically to make contributions to PERA, there’s no legal structure that could stop lawmakers from passing legislation in the future to raid that money for other purposes. JBC Chairwoman Julie McCluskie, a Democrat from Dillon,

said she’d oppose any effort to spend the $380 million on anything but PERA. And she’d be surprised if lawmakers even attempted it. She said lawmakers stashed that $380 million for PERA to avoid running into a situation where they needed to skip another $225 million annual payment. She called the staff recommendations, “terrific options for us to get back on that solvency path.” It’s not clear which direction the JBC will take. The committee voted last month to put off the decision until later. Meanwhile, lawmakers are also slated to consider a proposal next week that would make up for the state’s missing contribution in 2020. State Rep. Shannon Bird, a Democrat from Westminster and chairwoman of the House Finance Committee, is sponsoring legislation, House Bill 1029, that would send $303.6 million to PERA on July 1, the start of the next fiscal year. That figure accounts for the $225 million payment skipped in 2020, and the revenue PERA lost as a result of not having that money to invest. As the state’s obligation to fund PERA grows, she said, “we jeopardize everything else that we pay for in future years. … So because you
now will have a bigger and bigger payment to PERA, we will have less money for K-12, less money for roads, less money for environmental protections, less money for the courts, all those kinds of things. So it’s really important that we take swift action now to pay the whole thing back.” Bird said she supports the idea of eliminating the cash fund, arguing that “one dollar invested today is much better than one dollar invested tomorrow.” Though her bill would have the state pay back PERA from the state’s general fund, she said she is “agnostic” on where the money actually comes from, and would be fine seeing it come from the $380 million cash fund. Either way, she supports clearing out that cash fund entirely and putting it into PERA. The House Finance committee was scheduled to take up Bird’s bill last week.

Sanctuary cares for senior dogs on their good, bad and last days BY DANA KNOWLES, BRIAN WILLIE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
They take in the outcasts, the neglected, the abandoned, the worst of the worst. And with lots of affection and a little bit of time, older medically-compromised dogs — who would otherwise be euthanized — are loved back to life at Pepper’s Senior Dog Sanctuary. The nonprofit was founded in 2017 by extended family members Leigh Sullivan, Mary Leprino and Justin Klemer. Leprino had the original idea and tears up while trying to explain her passion: “The joy these dogs bring other people is just amazing. The best part of this is that we think we’re helping them, but they are helping us,” says Leprino. Leprino, in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, first rescued a Pomeranian named Pepper in 2011. The bond that developed between them lifted her anxiety and depression. “I called him the best little sober companion in the world,” says Leprino. The family now has 19 dogs that live in three homes spread across 50 acres of shared farmland with a mountain backdrop in south Littleton. They’re halfway through a $5 million fundraising campaign to finish constructing an 18,000-square-foot facility that will house 50 additional dogs. “We are building a world class senior dog sanctuary for these little nuggets to live out their forever

lives with a full medical facility, they’ll have their own bedrooms and their own play areas and sensory gardens,” says Sullivan. Most of these dogs are at least 10-years-old and were rescued from horrific circumstances. Sanctuary favorite, Penny Potato — aptly named since she resembles a baked spud — has a collapsed trachea and gets regular nebulizer treatments at Pepper’s. “She also has an oxygen crate, and we’re working with her to get some of her weight off so that she can have surgery to put an implant in her neck,” says Sullivan. Pancho, a 10-year-old chihuahua,
was left on the doorstep of a high kill shelter in Miami in a tied-up plastic bag. After arriving in Denver and having several months of treatments, his diabetes is under control; but the cataracts in his eyes from the disease are obvious. Marvin, another 10-year-old chihuahua, was returned to the Denver Dumb Friends League twice with a severe heart murmur that’s now getting treated at Pepper’s. “He’s scrappy and the boss of the house. Although he can be sweet he’s also ornery,” Leprino says while laughing. Janeway loves humans but is very aggressive toward other animals
so the team keeps her isolated from the rest of the dogs while making sure she gets plenty of ‘people’ love. “She was the first aggressive dog that we took in this sanctuary and she means a lot to me in that she means hope. She showed us that we can take in aggressive dogs and still do things successfully,” says Klemer. The entire idea behind Pepper’s Senior Dog Sanctuary, Sullivan says, is that animals deserve dignity and love at the end of their lives too. They shouldn’t just be tossed aside. “These guys at the end of their lives still have so much to give and it’s important that we honor that. I mean this dog was discarded twice and no one’s adopting her she she literally brings a smile to everyone’s face who sees her. Is she old? Yeah. Is she messed up? Yeah. But you know what? She’s adorable,” says Sullivan. In the future, Pepper’s Senior Dog Sanctuary is planning on partnering with organizations that support people with autism and senior living homes to help provide therapy. The sanctuary only works with rescues and shelters, they don’t accept owner surrenders. You can find ways to support the sanctuary by visiting their website at https://psds.org/.

years, according to the release. The federal funding presents an opportunity to assist the county’s post-pandemic economic recovery in multiple areas and for a wide variety of community entities, including small businesses and nonprofits, as well as industries that were disproportionately affected by COVID, the release said. The county commissioners held 14 outreach meetings to understand community needs and to solicit funding proposals, according to the release. The initial funding plans focus on the people — particularly vulnerable populations — and economic sectors that were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, in categories that include (with total amounts allocated to date): • Business Support: $12,806,500 • Homelessness and housing: $20,000,000 • Mental health: $8,572,060 • County operations: $8,116,000 • Education: $11,000,000 • Physical health: $1,590,000 • COVID response: $5,200,000 • Vulnerable populations: $5,725,000 For example, the county could provide $1 million to an initiative called “Ready to Work—West Side,” a potential effort to connect people experiencing homelessness with employment and housing, according to the county’s website.

program with successful locations in Aurora and Boulder, according to the county. The funding provided by Arapahoe County could be leveraged with local partners — the “Tri-Cities” coalition of Englewood, Sheridan and Littleton — to support the development of the program in the western part of the county, the website says. Last year, leaders in Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan approved what they called a Tri-Cities Homeless Action Plan, designed to be carried out over the next three years. Among the recommendations in the plan is to create “a central navigation center” — a dedicated
space to help people experiencing homelessness learn about services and apply for programs, such as available housing services, the plan says. As another example of Arapahoe’s spending plans, the county could provide $300,000 to the planned TriCities Navigation Center, according to the county’s website. Again, the potential funding provided by the county would be leveraged with the “Tri-Cities” group to support the development of the program, and the county could also provide additional staffing support for the center, using existing resources and staff members, accord-

Other ins and outs of funding The initial rollout of the county’s plans for the federal funds will help jumpstart some community partners’ projects and programs, the release said. “In many cases, the funds the board has tentatively allocated to these initiatives will cover only some of their costs, so these partners can now leverage our commitment to help raise whatever additional funds they need,” the county said in the release. Over the last few months, the board has held “study session” meetings to review funding recommendations and make allocations, some of which are tentative subject to additional details and finalized federal regulations, according to the release. “The funds will help stabilize what has been a very uncertain situation over the past 20 months by helping us launch, continue and expand numerous initiatives across a variety of sectors,” the county said in the release. The federal legislation outlined that these one-time funds should be incurred before Dec. 31, 2024, and expended or completed by Dec. 31, 2026. Individual communities within the county have also received their own federal allotments, according to the release.

SPORTS Chaparral boys upset ThunderRidge 62-41
Wolverines topple top-ranked team in Grizzlies’ home gym BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Chaparral’s boys basketball team made it look easy on Feb. 8. The Wolverines, fourth in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A state rankings, upset top-ranked ThunderRidge, 62-41, in a Continental League game played in the Grizzlies gym. Chap dominated the game, especially in the second half, and handed ThunderRidge its first loss this season to a Colorado team. “We came out as the underdogs and we wanted to make sure we went out and put out as much energy as we could,” said Chap guard Luke Williams. “We had nothing to lose and just went out there and played loose, made our shots, played defense and went out there with a chip on our shoulders.” After a close first half, Chap went on an 11-4 run to start the third quarter and led by 14 points by the end of the period. The Wolverines continued their strong play over the cold-shooting Grizzlies and swelled their lead to 23 points in the final minute of the contest. Chaparral made nine three-point baskets including five in the second half and ThunderRidge, which shot only 36% from the field, could never catch up. Williams, a 5-foot-10 senior, led the
Chap attack with 23 points. Senior Christ Best had 13 points which all came in the second half. Joel Speckman, a 6-9 senior, chipped in 11 points and 19 rebounds. Sophomore Gavin Carter added 10 points. “The guys came out ready to play and played hard,” said Chap coach Nate Rohnert. “We’ve been practicing well and we have to stay focused and not let this win go to our heads and keep a chip on our shoulders, which we’ve had for the past couple weeks.” ThunderRidge coach Joe Ortiz hopes his team can learn from the loss. “It wasn’t just a loss, they absolutely controlled the game,” he said. “It was a convincing win for them. I have to give them a lot of credit. This will test our resovlve to see who we really are. “It puts the shoe on the other foot. Instead of maybe being in that protective mode, maybe it gets us to go after it.” Zach Keller, a 6-9 senior, had 12 points and seven rebounds to pace the Grizzlies. “We have to get better,” Ortiz continued. “It’s still right in front of us. Everything is still there. We’ll still be in a great position seeding wise. It does give everyone else in the state hope now because they were all thinking we were unbeatable. But it puts us in a position from where everybody is coming after us to us going after people.” Chap, which faced No. 5 Rock Canyon on Feb 11, improved to 15-4 overall and threw the league title chase into a scramble with a 5-1 record. ThunderRidge, which faced rival
Zach Keller, 32, of ThunderRidge attempts to block a shot by Joel Speckman, 23, of Chaparral during the Feb. 8 Continental League game. The Wolverines notched an PHOTO BY JIM BENTON easy 62-41 upset win over ThunderRidge.
Mountain Vista on Feb. 11, is 18-2 overall and 6-1 in the league. Chaparral is 5-1 in the league. Mountain Vista is also in the title chase with s 5-1 league record and all three teams have two games remaining in the final week of the regular season. The regular season ends on Feb. 18 and each team has two games remaining with the league title still up for grabs.
ThunderRidge has played one more league game that most of the other teams and those games that were snowed out will not be made up. The Grizzlies held on to beat rival Mountain Vista, 52-51, on Feb. 11 and now is 7-1 in the league and 19-2 overall. Chap, which edged No. 5 Rock Canyon, 54-52 on Feb . 11, is 6-1 and 16-4.
Heritage dominates 4A swim championships
Heritage swimmers take a victory plunge into the pool at the VMAC after winning the Class 4A state swimming title.
Team will move to 5A next year after taking half the golds in state meets BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Heritage girls coach Tom Byorick called his swimmers phenomenal after the Eagles won the Class 4A state swimming and
diving championships at the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. It was the second straight 4A state title for the Eagles, who dominated the two days of competition that ended Feb. 11.
Heritage racked up 636 points, 329 points ahead of second-place Windsor. Pine Creek was third with 299.5 points. Highlands Ranch finished seventh, Littleton was 18th and Ponderosa finished in 29th place. Despite the Eagles’ lopsided runaway with the 4A state title, there is hope for other 4A teams since Heritage will move up to Class 5A next season.

Heritage won three individual state championships and all three relay events to capture half of the gold medals in this season’s 12 state meet events. “We had such an amazing group of kids and on paper we all knew we were heavy favorites,” said Byorick. “We wanted to win all three relays.

a big goal and we did it. “We had a magical season last year. We have another great freshman class and they brought this incredible energy, the sophomores are amazing, the juniors are unbelievable and the senior divers were rock stars. “So it was important that we swam well. We rallied around each other.” Junior Mary Macaulay won the state title in the 100 butterfly with a time of 54.71 and in the 100 backstroke in 54.86. She also swam on the winning 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams. “I cool down in between races and I never get out of the pool because otherwise I will sit and stress about it,” said Macaulay. “It felt great. I’m really happy with my performance.” Sophomore Kenzie Myco captured the 100 freestyle in 51.58 and swam a leg on the 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams. The Eagles’ 200 yard medley relay team of Macaulay, Aislyn Barnett, Inge Ehm and Amaia Sherman won with a time of 1:44.27. Sophia Capp, Myco, Elise Ramsden and Sherman won the 200 freestyle relay by three hun-
and prosperously. Isn’t that what we’re told is the American Dream? If we’re all going to have that, we need to cohabitate with empathy and respect, and that’s hard to do without first understanding each other and our history.

dreds of a second over Niwot thanks to a great anchor leg by Sherman. Heritage finished in 1:35.43 compared to 1:35.46 for Niwot. Heritage’s 400 relay team of Macaulay, Ramsden, Myco and Capp were first in the final event of the meet with a 3:27.95 clocking. Heritage diver Morgan Divita finished second and was the only senior among those in a scoring position who was not an underclassman. “That bodes well for the future but we jump up to 5A next year,” said Byorick. “That’s one of the hidden things we talked about was using this year to be great and as a springboard to next year and we get new challenges next year. We will be well prepared.” Macaulay is looking forward to next season. “It feels good to win the state title,” she said. “I’m happy about it. I also feel we should be in 5A. “On all of our relays, we’re all going to be there next year. Hopefully we’re all going to get faster and I’m really excited.” One other swimmer from a South Metro team did well. Sophomore Renee Burton of Highlands Ranch was the runner-up in the 50 freestyle with a time of 23.99.
