Law enforcement, community groups fight against hate crimes

Training, reporting methods improved

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From 2018 to 2020, reported incidents of hate crimes in Colorado more than doubled, according to

statistics from the FBI.

These numbers also increased nationwide, but in Colorado the rate is higher. Over two years, the state’s cases increased by about 132%, compared to the the national average of 17%, according to data from the FBI.

Although there is no way to definitively prove the reason for these trends and no clear solution to the problem, law enforcement agen-

cies, legal offices and organizations across the Front Range are taking steps to better care for victims and stand against bias-motivated crimes and incidents.

Data and underreporting

As defined by Colorado state law, a bias-motivated crime, also known as a hate crime, is a criminal offense committed “with the intent to in-

Castle Rock mayor muses on new term

Growth, new revenue sources top priorities

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Heading into his second term as Castle Rock’s mayor after running uncontested, Jason Gray feels confident voters are supportive of his model of “growth with vision” when it comes to managing the developing town.

Following the election, Gray said he appreciated the vote of confidence from the town in his leadership.

“It’s just nice that the town citizens saw fit to vote for me again and that no one wanted to run against me,” he said.

Looking at his time in office, Gray highlighted a number of accomplishments in the town to manage new building, improve parks and increase town services. Gray is particularly proud of the redevelopment downtown, which he said will continue to be a priority.

“The downtown speaks for itself. In the last four years, downtown has really seen a big revitalization and it’s been really vibrant and I think we’re going to keep doing it,” he said.

Another of Gray’s priorities is improving parks and recreation. He

pointed to Cobblestone Ranch Park and the Metzler Family Open Space as examples of recent efforts. Currently, the town is also considering a public-private partnership to build a new recreation center.

Gray said he’s excited for the future of the project, which will help meet the high demand for attractions that Castle Rock is seeing.

Wellspring Community plans to convert a La Quinta Hotel in Castle Rock into an apartment building to help integrate adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the community.

Over the summer, Douglas County announced a partnership with the non-profit, Wellspring Community. Douglas County purchased the La Quinta Hotel to allow Wellspring Community to use the building for its nonprofit services.

“The owners of the La Quinta decided that they were going to sell the hotel in Castle Rock and they were next door to the Wellspring program office,” said Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas.

Club Q, an LGBTQ+ club in Colorado Springs where a gunman killed five people and wounded 17. The accused gunman is facing murder and hate crime charges.

In Colorado, most reported hate crimes arise from bias against a victim’s real or perceived race, ethnicity or ancestry, according to Jeremy Shaver, senior associate regional director at the AntiDefamation League’s Mountain States Regional Office (ADL). The second most frequent category of hate crimes are those that target individuals based on sexual orientation, he said.

Several localities across the Front Range reflect the state’s increase in hate crimes, but on a smaller and less consistent scale, according to data from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, or CBI.

When examining hate crime data from governmental entities, it’s important to consider the likelihood of unreported cases, Shaver said.

According to a 2022 survey from Hate Free Colorado, a coalition of community partners dedicated to countering hate crimes in the state, the true number of hate crimes and bias-motivated incidents is significantly higher than what official government data represents.

“I think the challenge is that we know many of the frequently targeted populations in Colorado

are those that also have the lowest levels of trust and confidence in law enforcement right now,” Shaver said. “And so … most of these cases end up going unreported.”

The survey found that almost 3 in 10 Colorado adults have experienced a hate crime or bias-motivated incident in the last five years. Additionally, only 18% of respondents in that category said they reported the event to the police.

Bias-motivated incidents, also known hate incidents, are not chargeable criminal offenses but still have negative impacts on individuals.

Solutions to underreporting

The underreporting of hate crimes is a large concern for some law enforcement officials, including Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown, who was recently reelected.

To encourage more trust in reporting, Brown said his office is striving to become more diverse and reflective of the communities it serves.

He also noted a program that trains LGBTQ+ staff members within his office to be community liaisons, with a goal of creating spaces where LQBTQ+ individuals feel safer.

“It gives people an outlet to be able to express their concerns to somebody from their community and allows them the opportunity to talk to somebody that might have some similar occurrences that they’ve had in their life,” Brown said.

The Golden Police Department

also has an LGBTQ+ liaison, according to Police Chief Joe Harvey.

Shaver said it’s important to think of alternate ways for victims to report bias-motivated incidents without needing to interact with the police.

“One thing that the Hate Free Colorado coalition is recommending is that the state of Colorado and local communities look at establishing hate crime hotlines … It would most likely be a victim advocate or a social worker or somebody else who would reach back out to [the victim],” he said. “It would be one way to make a report that’s not an immediate call to law enforcement.”

Over the next year, Hate Free Colorado is hoping to educate community organizations that serve frequently targeted populations to help them better respond to calls that come into their agencies, Shaver said.

Why are hate crimes increasing?

Joel Zink, a hate crimes prosecutor at the Office of the District Attorney for Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, said a potential factor in the rise of hate crimes is the internet’s role in radicalizing people.

“Prior to the internet, folks who might have had some of these extremist ideas would be geographically isolated,” he said. “But with the rise of the Internet, folks have instant access to these online echo chambers … where they can find like-minded people and bounce around these really radical ideas.”

District Attorney Alexis King, who serves Jefferson and Gilpin counties, said that “more malicious rhetoric in our overall community conversations” and “polarization” are probably the main drivers of increased hate crimes.

Shaver said legislation, such as that which eliminates LGBTQ+ topics from school curriculums, also promotes harm against communities.

“We also need to see an end to legislation and rhetoric that continues to further harm against LGBTQ people,” he said.

Some say the increase in hate crime numbers could reflect something positive: a better understanding and recognition of hate crimes by law enforcement officers.

“I do think that at least in our jurisdiction … a small part of this is attributable to training that we’re doing with law enforcement to identify these crimes earlier on,” Zink said, adding that he leads a four-hour training for new deputies at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

Incoming law enforcement officers in Colorado are required to have bias-motivated crimes training, according to Shaver.

Training programs such as those through the Matthew Shepard Foundation, Hate Free Colorado and the Anti-Defamation League teach prosecutors, district attorneys and law enforcement officers across the state to better conduct hate crime investigations, Shaver said.

A 2021 change in Colorado law that expanded the definition of bias-motivated crimes may also contribute to recent rising numbers,

Bias-motivated crime training

Each year, ADL provides training to more than 30 law enforcement agencies across the state, Shaver said. The trainings cover Colorado’s hate crime laws, how to recognize bias indicators and acknowledging individual and social impacts of hate crimes.

Prosecutors use bias indicators to determine whether bias was a motivating factor in a criminal offense.

“[Bias indicators] would include things like the defendant’s own words, prior cases and behaviors and the nature and timing of the conduct in question, among other things,” Zink said.

King said prosecutors may also analyze a suspect’s social media activity and social connections to look for signals of bias.

In addition to learning how to recognize bias in a suspect, participants in hate crimes training programs learn how to address their own personal bias.

“We believe bias is universal — it’s not unique to law enforcement agencies — but we think it’s really important to discuss addressing bias in responding to these types of cases,” Shaver said.

Outside of hate crime-specifi c training, many law enforcement agencies, such as the Golden Police Department, implement regular anti-bias training for their departments.

“We not only want to train our offi cers how to go in and handle these [cases], but we also want to eliminate, mitigate, remove biases even from our own perspectives and how we go about doing our job and making sure that everybody feels that they’ve been treated with dignity and respect and compassion and empathy, that they’ve been treated fair and impartial,” Harvey said.

Impact of hate crimes

As law enforcement departments across the Front Range take steps to mitigate the frequency and impact of hate crimes, some acknowledge the emotional numbness that can come from facing the constant news of these incidents.

“Unfortunately, [hate crimes and mass shooting events] have become a common occurrence nationwide,” said Darren Weekly, who was recently elected as Douglas County sheriff. “The problem is, is I think we as a society are becoming numb to the violence … It’s a sad state of affairs for our nation.”

But even as events like this occur more frequently, Shaver said it is important to continue to recognize the impact of hate crimes on victims and communities, and work to fi ght against them.

“They not only impact the individual who’s been targeted or those who share that individual’s identity, but they have a greater social impact,” he said. “When somebody commits a hate crime, that really destroys a community sense of safety, belonging, inclusion, and so that has a ripple effect … and it affects quality of life for all Coloradans.”

HD43 flipped by Democrat for first time in a decade

Marshall’s keys to success

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Flipping the historically Republican Colorado House District 43 came down to a dedicated door-todoor campaign effort and a platform derived from listening to voters’ concerns, its newly-elected representative and Democrats say following the election.

Voters in House District 43, which covers the Highlands Ranch area, elected Democratic candidate Robert Marshall over the incumbent Republican Rep. Kurt Huffman in a race decided by less than one percentage point.

Marshall’s win results in the first Democrat to represent Highlands Ranch in at least a decade.

Karen Asensio, executive director of the Colorado Democratic Party and an HD43 voter, said she was not surprised at the results because of Marshall’s commitment to seeking out every voter.

“I think (Marshall’s) approach was to go to everyone and connect with people and going beyond party lines and simply connecting with folks,” she said. “He went above and beyond and worked harder than I’ve ever

seen.”

Marshall didn’t doubt his ability to win, he told Colorado Community Media on election night, though he said Huffman was a strong competitor.

“I was confident I was going to win,” he said. “I only became a little less confident when I lost 10 campaign days (due to COVID-19) and knew my opponent was out there working his ass off.”

On top of Marshall’s strong physical presence in the district, Asensio said his campaign via plane and vintage Army Jeep, as well as the canvassing efforts of the Douglas County Democrats, made him “omnipresent.”

Asensio said some in the party never considered it possible for a Democrat to win in Highlands Ranch. Only 23% of voters in House District 43 are registered as Democrats, compared to 33% Republicans and 43% unaffiliated.

Highlands Ranch has been represented by a string of Republican representatives, with Douglas County Election data showing conservative candidates winning House District 43 by over 20 percentage points in the 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 elections.

The 2020 election results were much closer with five percentage points between incumbent Rep.

Kevin Van Winkle and his Democratic challenger Jennifer Mitkowski.

Huffman was appointed to the seat in June when Republican Rep. Kevin Van Winkle was appointed to represent Colorado Senate District 30 following the retirement of Sen. Chris Holbert.

Huffman posted a concession message to Facebook on Nov. 18, where he thanked his family and supporters, and wished Marshall well.

“The final election results are in and although the outcome isn’t what we had hoped for, I am proud of our team and our campaign,” he wrote. “We worked tirelessly and gave this race all we had.”

The Douglas County GOP did not return multiple requests for an interview with Colorado Community Media.

Despite the odds, Asensio said the Colorado Democratic Party believes in running strong candidates in every district to build onto past efforts and, hopefully, eventually flip conservative seats. She cited Adam Frisch’s nearly-successful campaign against Rep. Lauren Boebert as an example.

Marshall campaigned with a focus on public education, public safety and the environment, which Marshall said were concerns he shared with his constituents.

“Public education and public safety were the top two (constituent priorities), which were my top two issues from when I launched the campaign, so I was meshing very well with the community,” he said.

Asensio agreed Marshall had a message that resonated with voters, who she said want reasonable legislators. She said voters were tired of not feeling heard and not having their concerns addressed.

“They wanted someone who actually listened to them and showed up for them, which is not the case with their predecessor,” Asensio said, referencing Rep. Van Winkle. “The history of what he introduced did not represent the people in the district, it represented the fringe.”

Marshall said one of his top priorities as a legislator will be making himself available to constituents.

“The big thing is I do intend to represent all of Highlands Ranch and everyone by being open and accessible,” he said.

District o cial, mental health program honored

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Douglas County School District program aimed at supporting students experiencing trauma and one of the program’s leaders received accolades at the county and national level for having a positive impact on the community.

District Director of Mental Health Stephanie Crawford-Goetz received the Ron King Service Award at the Nov. 15 school board meeting from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office for her efforts to support homless youth and mental health initiatives, including the Youth Crisis Response Team and the Handle with Care program.

“I want to share with you this is a major award and we are just so honored,” Sheriff-elect Darren Weekly said as he presented the award. “You go above and beyond on a regular daily basis for the youth in our community and from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. Thank you for all you do.”

The award is named for former Douglas County deputy Ron King, who was one of the first school resource officers and was known for his dedication to helping young people. King was killed when he was struck by a drunk driver while on duty in 1999 and the award honors his memory. The sheriff’s office selects a law enforcement and civilian winner each year.

Crawford-Goetz thanked the school board and school staff for their support for providing quality mental health resources for students.

“This work is done by all the amazing people in our schools, every day working hard for our kids, and our community and our law enforcement,” Crawford-Goetz said. “I’m so proud to be a part of this community and have everyone wrapping around

kids the way we do to support their mental health, wellbeing and safety.”

Additionally, the Handle with Care program, which Crawford-Goetz implemented with the help of Lt. Rob Rotherham, received the 2022 Extra Mile Award in October from the West Virginia Center for Children’s Justice.

The Handle with Care program is a partnership between the schools and the sheriff’s office, which allows law enforcement to notify the schools when a student experienced something traumatic or had a law enforcement interaction so that school staff can provide any extra support the student may need.

Weekly said the program has resulted in 450 notices since starting in February 2021.

“I’ll tell you as a law enforcement officer for 29 years this was a major void in our community,” Weekly said. “Kids who experience trauma the night before, whether that be domestic violence or something serious, are being sent to school the next morning, so this is an amazing program that was long overdue.”

Crawford-Goetz later told Colorado Community Media that traumatic events, such as food instability, home insecurity or domestic violence, can lead students to have academic or behavioral problems.

“Often when our students are behaving unusually what the student might be trying to communicate is the recent trauma the child may have been exposed to,” she said.

Using the Handle with Care designation is a trauma-informed way to provide context for teachers and counselors while maintaining student and family privacy, CrawfordGoetz explained.

Superintendent Erin Kane emphasized during the award ceremony how the lucky the district is to have strong partnerships, like the one with the sheriff’s office, that work to serve students better.

“We are so fortunate in this district to have the incredible partnership between you two,” she said. “I can’t thank you both enough.”

How state ‘red flag’ law works

Colorado measure was passed in 2019

BY ANDREW KENNEY COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Colorado’s “red flag” law, passed in 2019, allows family members or law enforcement to request the temporary confiscation of firearms from people who pose a threat.

Now, the law is receiving renewed attention in the wake of a gunman’s attack that killed five people at Club Q, an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs. Democratic lawmakers have asked why the suspected gunman wasn’t the subject of a gun-removal order after a previous incident involving violent threats.

Here’s how the law works and what experts say about its use in Colorado.

How the law works

Red flag laws are meant to allow the temporary confiscation of firearms from people who are deemed to be an “extreme risk” to themselves or others. Under Colorado’s law, the orders can be requested by law enforcement officers or by a person’s family members, but they can only be issued by a judge.

“It’s really intended to intervene on that trajectory of violence,” said Shannon Frattaroli, a professor with the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

The process begins when the officer or family members files a petition for a temporary “extreme risk protection order,” or ERPO with the court. The petitioner has to provide evidence of the need for the ERPO, signing an affidavit under oath and providing a “reasonable basis for believing” those facts exist.

The court then must hold a hearing within one business day. A judge will decide whether a “preponderance” of the evidence supports the case for removing weapons. That means the evidence must show the argument is “more probably true than not.”

If so, the judge can issue a temporary protection order, which stays in effect for a maximum of 14 days. The respondent then has to surrender their firearms to law enforcement. They also can sell or transfer the guns to a federally registered firearm dealer, and they must surrender any concealed carry permit.

The court then has to hold a second hearing to determine whether the order should be continued beyond two weeks.

This time, the petitioner — again, members of law enforcement or the

family — has to establish “clear and convincing” evidence that allowing the person to have guns would pose a “significant risk” to themselves or others. Respondents who don’t have an attorney are represented by a court-appointed attorney.

If the judge issues the extended order, it stays in effect for 364 days, and it can be renewed by the court. After it expires, law enforcement must return any guns they confiscated from the person.

The Colorado law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.

Colorado authorities do not use the law often

Nineteen states, plus Washington D.C., have “red flag” laws, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

So far, Colorado authorities have used the law far less often than in other states, according to an Associated Press analysis.

For example, Florida’s rate of issuance was ten times higher than Colorado’s. From April 2019 through the end of 2021, Colorado courts issued 151 orders, or about 3.3 per 100,000 adults, according to data from the AP.

Authorities in El Paso County have used the law even less — about 2.3 removals per 100,000 adults.

Political leaders in the county have resisted the use of the law. In 2019, county commissioners voted unanimously to become a “Second Amendment Preservation County.” The red flag law was being debated in the legislature at the time.

Commissioners at the time pledged to “actively resist the legislation,” arguing that it was unconstitutional because it did not allow enough due process before taking someone’s guns.

And the El Paso County Sheriff, Bill Elder, previously put limits on how his deputies would use the law.

In a 2020 statement, the Sheriff’s Office said that deputies would only request removal orders and search for guns when they could find the “probable cause” of a crime. That’s a stricter standard than what’s required by the law, which is focused on the possibility of violence — and not whether someone has committed a crime. The office declined to comment for this story, saying the state’s law about criminal justice records prevented them from talking about the earlier case.

The policy was meant to “ensure that the rights of people to be free

Seniors’ Council meeting to explore cohousing

If you crave a closer community connection, but still value living independently in your own home, cohousing might be right for you. Trish Becker, executive director of the Cohousing Association of the United States, will discuss cohousing at a free Seniors’ Council meeting at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 5, at the library in Lone Tree.

So what makes cohousing communities unique? According to Becker, they are intentional, collaborative neighborhoods that combine extensive common facilities with private homes to create strong and successful housing developments. Most of these communities are organized as townhouse or condominium developments with homeowners association; a few are organized as cooperatives.

Cohousing is not a financial or legal model, but rather a descriptive term that shows the intent of these developments to cultivate a strong sense of community through extensive common facilities and active collaboration of the residents. There are currently about 180 existing cohousing communities in the U.S. and about the same number in some stage of formation. Becker is currently involved with two Front Range communities.

Cohousing residents may share meals, equipment, gardening and chores. Sharing often makes tasks easier and more enjoyable. It is a green and sustainable way of life.

Experts state that cohousing communities bring together the value of private homes and the advantages of shared public space. These intentional communities focus on connectivity that facilitates social interaction, sustainable design and shared re-

sources. Cohousing communities are established around three principles that make them different from traditional neighborhoods. They emphasize growing the community, increasing sustainability, and aging successfully. Most cohousing communities are designed to

foster intergenerational connectivity, offering opportunities to live among people in all stages of life.

Becker believes that cohousing is a great way for older adults to age in place as it provides the social capital and mutual support that is linked with longer, healthier and happier lives. There are a growing number of older adult cohousing communities in addition to the intergenerational communities. Cohousing can be an antidote to loneliness, which affects over half of Americans, and has the same deleterious health effects as smoking 15 cigarettes per day.

Please plan to attend the Seniors’ Council meeting on Thursday, January 5 at 10 a.m. at the Lone Tree Library located at 10055 Library Way. The meeting is free and open to people of all ages.

LAWS

FROM PAGE 6

Elder has not commented on the 2021 incident that apparently involved the suspected Club Q gunman.

Similar fights played out elsewhere in the state, including Weld County, where Sheriff Steve Reams said he would rather go to jail himself than confiscate someone’s guns. In all, more than half the state’s counties made similar declarations, CPR News reported.

But authorities in many of those counties later used the orders.

Kaiser Health News reported this June that protection orders had been filed in 20 of the sanctuary counties.

When the petitions are filed, judges often approve them. In 2020, about 85 percent of petitions filed by law enforcement resulted in year long protection orders, CPR News reported.

Colorado’s law is similar to other states

The nation’s first red flag law was passed in 1999 in Connecticut, and their use spread more quickly after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.

The laws broadly follow the same model, but there are some variations.

For example, Colorado allows only law enforcement and family members to file the petitions. But several other states and Washington, D.C., allow a broader set of people to petition, variously including school administrators ; doctors; and, in California, employers and coworkers.

But the greatest differentiator between the states, according to Frattaroli, may be the level of enthusiasm among law-enforcement leaders.

Research into the effects of the laws is ongoing, since most implemented only in the last few years. But Frattaroli sees promise.

“This is a complex problem that has a lot of causes at its core, and it needs a lot of different solutions to turn this around,” the researcher said. “I do view ERPO as a promising solution that has the potential to make a big difference — again, if it’s implemented.”

Wellspring Community Director Peter Barber reached out to Thomas to tell her about the opportunity.

“So, I went back to the office, and I talked with staff and I said ‘How can we make this happen?’” said Thomas.

The La Quinta Hotel was purchased with the funds from the county’s American Rescue Plan Act. With the approved $6.4 million, the plan is to convert the hotel into 35 departments and have onsite 24/7 staff.

Barber and the Wellspring Community team sat down with a variety of stakeholders, including people involved in the program as well as external stakeholders who have knowledge about adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and what housing looks like for those individuals.

With the help of architects and builders, Wellspring Community was able to start the finalization of plans to remodel the La Quinta Hotel Nov. 15.

“At the moment, we are targeting sometime in the fall of 2023 to be the date that we open by, but we don’t have a hard date yet,” said

“We’d like to be a regional draw, not only for our own rec center, but for other sports and stuff,” he said. “What we’re seeing a lot, on the weekends especially, is people who don’t want to go up to the mountains or who want to avoid traffi c are coming down to Castle Rock. We’re becoming a destination spot, which is really neat.”

When it comes to the town’s booming development, Gray acknowledged that it’s not all positive. He said he tries to approach it with an eye toward balancing construction and open space and amenities.

The non-profit program started in 2008 and has been recognized as a 501C3 since 2010. Wellspring Community offers a day program, work opportunities and soon to be a housing solution.

Currently there are about 110 participants enrolled in the day program, which runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Not all 110 participants come every day as each participant is able to set their own schedule. The day program offers in-person classes as well as online classes.

On average, Wellspring Community’s day program includes 60 participants per day. These individuals choose what classes they would like to be a part of and how many days in the week they partake in the class. These classes range from photography to baking, all the way to fitness.

“We are actually trying to create meaningful activities so that our adults can feel like they are living a life of fullness and abundance,” said Barber.

A key element of the program is to integrate these adults into the community and have the community get to know who they are as adults who contribute to our society just as much as anybody else is,” said Barber.

Wellspring Community is currently working with the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy

“With the growth hopefully comes more and more amenities and that you’re not just seeing growth for growth’s sake, you’re seeing growth with a vision, making our downtown better, having big time amenities and a small time charm,” he said. “I think the town does a really good job of trying to ask more from developers and people who already have entitlements and see where we can meet in the middle.”

Moving forward, Gray said he will advocate for council members to abide the outcome of votes.

When a vote doesn’t go my way, I try to be respectful of it and I’d like to see the same from everybody else.”

Early-season snow o to good start in high country

BY CHRIS OUTCALT THE COLORADO SUN

Snowpack on the Western Slope is off to a good start, but experts caution it’s difficult to draw many meaningful conclusions from snow-covered, high-country peaks this early in the season.

“It’s kind of like leading a football game by a field goal halfway through the first quarter,” Jeff Lukas, an independent climate researcher, wrote in an email.

As of early November, the statewide snowpack was 140% of the median from 1991 to 2020, and 142% in the Colorado River headwaters area specifically, according to SNOTEL data compiled by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The averages were slightly higher elsewhere on the Western Slope.

Still, there’s a long way to go. Typically, on Nov. 9, Colorado is about 8% of the way to achieving statewide median snowpack, Lukas said. Right now, the state is about 12% of the way there, he said. But, Lukas cautioned that there’s very little correlation between mountain precipitation in October and early November and the final totals across an entire snow season.

In about a third of the past 35 years, early-season snow totals looked something like they do so far this year, Lukas said. The season-ending snowpack across those 12 years, however, runs the gamut, from a handful of average years to a very good 1995 and a dismal 2012.

Nevertheless, it’s better to have snow on the ground than not, he said.

“Every little bit helps. Just like a field goal early in the first quarter,” he wrote. “But it needs to be followed up with a lot more scoring.”

Given the challenges facing the Colorado River, water managers across the region will be watching the snowpack especially closely this year. More than 40 million people rely on the snow that accumulates high up in the mountains in the Colorado River Basin and then flows into the river and its tributaries. The water is also used to irrigate millions of acres of farmland. However, a series of subpar snow years and dry soil conditions paired with sustained water use has drained the country’s two largest reservoirs — Lake Powell and Lake Mead — and strained the entire Colorado River system.

So far this year, the biggest in-state beneficiary of the earlyseason snow has been southwestern Colorado and the San Juan Mountains, a region that has been hard-hit by drought and dry soil conditions the past few years. The

southwestern part of the state registered 217% of the median snowpack as of Nov. 10.

“We’re in the best shape we’ve seen for about five years — it’s a good start for sure,” said Ken Curtis, general manager of the Dolores Water Conservancy District, which manages the Dolores Project.

In addition to the early snow, a steady pattern of monsoonal rains throughout the summer helped southwestern Colorado quite a bit, Curtis said.

“Depending on how you feel about trends or odds or statistics, we are looking better, and you might say we’re due,” Curtis said.

In 2021, farmers and ranchers who rely on water from the Dolores Project received a 10% supply. This year, the project operated on a 35% supply.

Becky Bollinger, the assistant state climatologist, said it’s good to get a head start on snowpack now so that the state is less reliant on big storm after big storm during the heart of the winter.

“For me, seeing these storms kick off and that we’re a little ahead on snowpack is good,” said Bollinger, who is part of Colorado State University’s Colorado Climate Center. “In general, I feel pretty positive about this.”

The snow in the high country this week was especially nice, she said, because the next week or so looks like it’s going to be

drier across the state. However, temperatures are likely to remain cooler, which is good, Bollinger said. “What that means is that while the snowpack isn’t going to accumulate, it’s probably not going to melt in those mid-to-high elevations,” she said. “When you have those cold temperatures, that will help support the snowpack that’s already there.”

DA’s o ce honored for cold case conviction

40-year murder solved

A prosecuting team from the 18th Judicial District was recognized by the Colorado District Attorneys Council for work on a cold case dating back to 1981 that led to a conviction in 2022. The team received the 2022 Outstanding Trial Team of the Year.

The annual award is given to a team of prosecutors for remarkable work in solving challenging cases from the thousands of cases brought to trial throughout the year. The Colorado District Attorneys’ Council selected a team from the 18th Judicial District for their work in solving the 1981 cold case homicide of Sylvia Quayle.

The trial team includes Chief Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo, Deputy District Attorney Grant Grosgebauer, Investigator Matt Hanagan, Paralegal Cathy Nevil, and Victim Advocate Colleen Vogel.

“Our office actually submits multiple cases, so it’s pretty cool that they chose this one out of the 30 or so other different cases that they submitted,” said Grosgebauer.

Quayle’s body was found in the early morning of Aug. 4, 1981 by her father William. As Quayle lived alone in her home in Cherry Hills Village, the attacker cut the phone line outside her house to enable her ability to call for help. Quayle was sexually assaulted,

strangled, stabbed three times, shot in the head, then left to dieon her living room floor.

For nearly two decades, Quayle’s murder went unsolved until the

Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) submitted a DNA sample to the FBI’s combined DNA Index Systemin 2000.

Two decades after the DNA was submitted, the Cherry Hills Village Police Department began working with United Data Connect, a genetic genealogy company. In 2021, an investigator with United Data Connect went to Anderson’s residence and collected trash bags from an apartment complex dumpster. Lab results found Anderson’s DNA on a soda can from his trash bag, which matched the DNA collected at the 1981 crime scene.

Anderson was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, After Deliberation and Felony Murder. In March 2022, Anderson went to trial, however, after five days of deliberation, the jurors were unable to reach a verdict, resulting in a mistrial.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office brought the case to

trial once again on June 30, 2022. A jury found Anderson guilty on both counts of murder. Due to legal precedent, a defendant convicted of a single homicide can only be sentenced on one homicide charge.

“It’s the oldest case that’s ever been tried successfully in Colorado,” said Grosgebauer.

The sentencing laws in effect at the time of the crime have resulted in Anderson receiving the maximum sentence of life behind bars. He is eligible for parole in 20 calendar years. With the help of the Cherry Hill Village Police Department, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, DNA analyst Missy Woods, the trial team was able to bring forward a strong evidentiary case that led to a conviction.

“It was a true team effort. We couldn’t have done it without multiple different components coming together to make this case possible,” said Grosgebauer.

VOICES

A giving opportunity

We are in the full swing of the holiday season — the time for giving and helping others. Instead of getting, Colorado residents can make a difference by giving during this holiday season through the annual statewide program known as Colorado Gives Day.

FROM THE EDITOR

Since moving here, I have been impressed with the coordinated program to get more funding to our local nonprofit organizations, encouraging residents to give to their favorite causes and having a great website to find the programs to give to.

What is Colorado Gives Day? According to the coloradogives.org website, Colorado Gives Day is a statewide movement to increase online giving. This year marks the 13th anniversary that Community First Foundation and FirstBank have partnered to present Colorado Gives Day. The date is Dec. 6. Donations are accepted at ColoradoGives.org, which features more than 2,300 nonprofits.

Thelma Grimes

The website is easy to maneuver because the nonprofits you are able to donate to are separated by category. If you’re interested in the arts, there are plenty of options. Interested in helping organizations who help the disadvantaged — they are categorized.

The nonprofits out there are endless and their need for public funding support are tremendous. This year, with inflation, supply costs and everything being higher — all nonprofit organizations could use the extra support.

Now, for a bit of shameless campaigning for where some dollars can also be applied. As a local news organization that focuses on school boards, city councils and great breaking news and local, happy features — we own 24 newspapers along the Front Range and have a ton of hard-working journalists who bring that news both online and in print.

We are not exactly nonprofit, but we do take community donations and, like many, are in need of constant financial support. To see where to support your local news provider, visit the website at Coloradocommunitymedia.com/ReadersCare.

Like many newspapers across the nation, we struggle to pay continually rising print costs and keep up with the amount of news that needs to be told. Through donations in Colorado Gives Day — we can do a lot more to penetrate the local communities and tell more stories and keep the presses rolling.

According to Northwestern University journalism school, the U.S. continues to lose newspapers at a rate of two per week, dividing the nation into wealthier, faster growing communities vs. those struggling in communities without news.

Since just before the pandemic started, the U.S. has lost an estimated 360 newspapers. Since 2005, more than 2,500 newspapers have closed.

Once a newspaper closes, there is rarely a digital replacement, which creates a news desert – a crisis for democracy.

With limited access to local news, the checks and balances between government and residents get out of balance — and the misinformation streaming on social-media platforms will not help.

While trust in media is at its lowest for the national networks and major news organizations, similar statistics show the local newspapers are the most trusted. Colorado Community Media works hard to keep and maintain that trust. While we may not be perfect, we certainly push to do the right thing for all residents and readers.

Maintaining the attitude of gratitude

The executive had put out a message out to his network that he was looking to hire top-performing salespeople for his team. While reconnecting with a former colleague, he also mentioned to her that he was looking for salespeople and asked that if she knew anyone, would she send them his way.

Within just a couple of hours she had sent him the name of someone she thought could possibly be a fit. The two connected on LinkedIn and through email, eventually setting up an interview that would take place over a virtual Zoom call.

When the executive and the candidate met and made initial introductions, the executive noticed a picture of legendary Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi hanging on the wall behind the candidate. So before jumping into the interview he had asked him the story behind the picture. As the candidate shared his story about Vince Lombardi’s dedication, discipline and determination and how that inspired him, the executive could not help but smile. He shared that when he was in high school, he had written his term paper on Vince Lombardi, and he chose him for the very same reasons. They had already formed a bond.

Unfortunately, as they began the interview, within about 15-20 minutes they both realized that the candidate wasn’t really a good fit for the position. However, they stayed on the call for a little longer. The candidate shared that he was a single dad of two teenagers and was trying to find the right position that would allow him to provide for his family.

They were saying goodbye when another topic came up and they had some small talk around that. The executive then asked the candidate to tell him a little more about what the perfect job would be that would get him excited to go to work every day. The candidate really loved coaching and training people and help-

ing to develop both personally and professionally. The executive let him know that he would keep his ears and eyes open for any opportunities that sounded like a good fit. Again, just about to hang up, the executive asked one more question. He asked the candidate, “Is there something that I can pray about for you?” The candidate bowed his head for a good minute before lifting his watery eyes back to the screen. The candidate asked for prayers for his mom as she had cancer. The executive leaned in and said how sorry he was, pausing before asking one more question. He asked the candidate what kind of cancer his mom had. He bowed his head and once again took a moment to speak. As he shared that it was pancreatic cancer, his tears spilled down his cheeks.

The executive stopped and shared this, “This was never about a job interview, this was God’s interview. We were not connected to talk about any job, we were connected for a much greater purpose. My wife passed away in 2013 from pancreatic cancer. She fought for two and a half years, and I learned so much from that journey and experience and I am happy to share any of what I learned with you and your family. I am so very grateful that God planned this interview, and if you need or want anyone to talk to, I am here for you.” And then they prayed together.

Last week I talked about “More than just the attitude of gratitude,” and this week as we think about maintaining the attitude of gratitude beyond Thanksgiving, maybe we can be reminded to be grateful for those connections

No bridge over troubled waters

Let’s face it … the right-wing cabal behind the DCSD board majority is wreaking havoc on our community.

Somehow, they have taken their election by only 25% of eligible voters, after their scorched earth campaign agenda that was set on a national level by none other than Steve Bannon, as a misinterpreted sign of community mandate.

The failure of two school funding measures on the Nov. 8 ballot is a significant blow to the credibility of the board majority. Although similar measures were passed in 15 other districts, votes against the measures came from conservatives who usually vote for lower taxes. The tipping point came from voters who distrust the board majority, people who have historically supported past funding measures.

It seems the board majority’s greatest skill is providing ammunition for those who show disdain. As reported by Community Media, on Nov. 13, DCSD Superintendent Kane was honored by the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network at its launch event. The event featured a panel comprised of well-known public figures who “lambasted critical race theory, teachers’ unions and diversity, equity and inclusion programs, supporting trans students and suggested schools were encouraging students to transition.”

That the event was attended and supported by three DCSD board majority members won’t be lost on their detractors and many others in the community. That the panel was comprised of representatives from political organizations financed by outsider influencers (all too wellknown to DougCo residents) won’t allay distrust. Just the opposite, really.

The DCSD Board looks to be heading toward more troubled waters filled with minefields of opposition. We’ll see if the majority’s “26% mandate” keeps the hull intact. Acting out extremes in an echo chamber is pure treachery.

Do better

On Monday, Nov. 21, national news covered the tragic mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs. Only minutes later, national news turned toward the increasing ineffectiveness of the Department of Homeland Security as the greatest threats to the United States of America come from within, particularly from political extremists and white supremacist groups.

Enough is enough. Attacks against the LGBTQI+ community and attacks from white supremacist groups have the same root cause — ignorance and hate.

The job of the Douglas County Board of Education and superintendent is to fight ignorance and hate at the local level. Even so, five of the eight members of this group — Superintendent Kane, Director Peterson, Director Williams, Director Winegar, and Director Myers — seem to be on the side of ignorance and hate. Their divisive rhetoric, actions against and now inaction around the district’s equity policy, membership in groups that allow transphobic rhetoric, and endorsements of antiLGBTQI+ political candidates speak volumes.

Directors and Superintendent Kane, do your jobs! Fight ignorance and hate, and position our teachers, administrators, and staff members in this district to educate students who will become adults who are empowered to stand up against hate and ignorance. Do better!

has rhetoric, not solutions

I’m a 23-year resident of DougCo, a parent to two amazing humans with autism, and a Special Education Advocate. On Nov. 13, I attended the launch of a new advocacy group called CPAN, Colorado Parent Advocacy Network. As a parent and supporter of public education, I was hoping to connect with a resource for our community.

tude story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can show our gratitude at a deeply human level, it really will be a better than good life.

Michael Norton is an author, a personal and professional coach, consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator of individuals and businesses, working with organizations and associations across multiple industries.

Shortly into the meeting, I realized the type of advocacy the group promoted. This wasn’t a solutionoriented coalition. This event had a very different agenda; blame, fear, and misinformation.

Audience members cheered for teachers when prompted by speakers. The same audience emphatically agreed with those same speakers (Cain Young, Erec Smith, and Deborah Flora) now professing that teachers are instructing students about pornography, pushing Marxist ideals, embedding CRT tenets, and shoving gender identities into their curriculum. The panelists mocked unions, calling them communists. Attendees whooped and nodded when a speaker said, “Government schools are not safe for our children.”

I was sitting in the same row with School Board President Peterson and Directors Williams and Myers, who were nodding along with the crowd. I was disheartened and appalled by the actions of DCSD’s stewards for our children’s public education.

I am baffled that for over two hours, an “advocacy” group gave no solutions to the real issues that some students do not meet grade level expectations. Not once was the Science of Reading mentioned, nor

were students with disabilities. No questions for the panel about specific curriculum or professional development. No discussion about the need for smaller classrooms, nor the need for increased teacher salaries.

CPAN’s rhetoric was being pushed, not solutions.

There are organizations that DCSD can decline to associate with. Positive intent is appropriate until an organization shows you who they are. Then it is a superintendent’s obligation to critically think about the impact of receiving an award from a group that is bashing the very people your position requires you to support.

The attendance by members of DCSD’s BoE and Superintendent Kane to a group repeatedly lying about our teachers, staff, and schools will not get another bond/mill levy passed.

It will not ensure that all students achieve grade level expectations.

It will not secure supportive mental health for struggling students.

I’m genuinely, sincerely trying to understand DCSD’s motives. I want to presume positive intent, but at some point, I have to believe people when they show me who they are.

High school seniors reflect on life lessons from athletic careers

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To paraphrase Ted Lasso, the fictional football-turned-soccer coach, one aspect of sports is helping people become the best versions of themselves, both on and off the field.

For high school seniors a few months from graduation, athletics have helped them prepare for the ups and downs and the responsibilities of adult life.

“I don’t know what my life would be like without athletics,” Clear Creek High School’s Bode Baker said. “ … It taught me many valuable life lessons and helped me grow into the person I am today.”

Baker and five fellow seniors across the Denver area detailed how sports taught them communication, trust, perseverance, how to accept failure and other valuable life lessons.

And while there are possible downsides to competing in sports — injuries, feelings of exclusion and inadequacy, and additional commitments amid already busy schedules — the seniors believed there were far more benefits.

They encouraged parents to have their children try sports at a young age, and for younger students to try any sport they’re interested in, even if they haven’t played it before.

Conifer High School’s Patrick Doty started cross country as a freshman and was the second-slowest person on the team. However, he stuck with it and now hopes to run at the collegiate level.

“I don’t want to stop running,” Doty said. “… It helps you stay physically and mentally fit. I want to keep it around in my life as much as possible.”

And, certainly, there are plenty of life lessons to be garnered from clubs, part-time jobs, volunteering and other extracurriculars that high school students balance with academics.

Brighton High School’s Jazlyn Amaya is in five clubs and sports, including cross country and swimming, and she’s learned different things from each activity. She felt being involved in a variety of extracurriculars was important, but sports can be especially effective at forcing students outside their comfort zones.

“It’s taught me to manage my time — especially in high school — and to work hard for yourself and for others,” Amaya said of athletics. “ … It was about understanding who I was, helping me realize you’re not defined by a sport or club. You’re defined by who you are.”

Building a team, finding a family Sami Zebroski’s never played an individual sport. She grew up playing recreation-league soccer and softball and now plays volleyball and basketball for Clear Creek.

In life, she tends to be more independent, wanting to fix everything herself. However, she said team sports have taught her the value of relying on and trusting other people.

“You’re going to have your biggest supporters on the court with you,” Zebroski said of volleyball in particular. “Once you go down, you kind of bring them with you. You have to be as reliable as your teammates are reliable to you.”

Trust and communication are the cores of teamwork, and Amaya said she’s improved on those throughout her sports career. She started playing recreation-league basketball, where she said that on-court connection was vital among teammates.

While sports like track and swimming are more individual, there’s still a team aspect. Teammates have to build each other up, critique each other in a kind way, and communicate their expectations effectively for relays and so on, Amaya and her peers described.

Maya Dawson and Mason Pratt, who both play multiple sports at Conifer, said they’ve made important memories with their teams over the years. Team-building, chemistry, and bonding time can help a group of athletes transform into something even greater than a team — a family.

“A lot of my non-blood family, I’ve found in sports,” Pratt said.

Having an outlet for self-improvement

There’s hardly a sport Baker hasn’t played. He started in T-ball when he was 3 or 4 years old, and now plays baseball, football, basketball and track for Clear Creek. He also competed in wrestling, boxing and cross country when he was younger.

For Baker, sports have always been an important mental and physical outlet.

“You have a bad day at school, you go do your sports and get your anger out,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for you to go out, have fun, and get away from your daily struggles.”

Pratt and Dawson also described how sports can be therapeutic, whether it’s in the camaraderie or the workout aspect. Dawson said sports forces athletes to make time in their day to take care of themselves and be active.

Conifer’s Mason Pratt dribbles the ball during a game in the 2021-22 season. Pratt, a senior who also plays baseball, hopes to play baseball at the collegiate level.

Conifer’s Maya Dawson (13) shoots a free throw during the 2021-22 season. Dawson, a senior who also runs cross country and track for Conifer, plans to study journalism in college.

Dawson plays basketball and runs track and cross country at Conifer. She and Amaya explained how their experiences in both team and more individual sports highlight how the latter requires athletes to motivate, improve and hold themselves accountable.

Amaya made varsity cross country this year and pushed herself to work hard for her teammates, saying, “If I’m behind, I put everyone behind.”

Dawson described how teammates, coaches and other supporters can cheer on runners from the sidelines, but “at the end of the day, you’re the one getting yourself across that finish line.”

She and Amaya believed there’s power in learning to work hard, push oneself through pain, and accomplish individual goals.

“That feeling of accomplishment, it’s one of the best things about sports,” Dawson said. “Just knowing that you left it all out on the track.”

Learning to persevere, face failure

Whether it’s in life or in sports, Doty believes “you’re owed nothing.”

An athlete can work hard toward their goals, but the outcome might not go their way. And part of sports is learning to accept that, he described.

“It’s a nice, little reality check,” Doty continued. “ … (Sports involves) accepting that not every

day is your day.”

That’s something that, as baseball players, Pratt and Baker understand perfectly. Both described baseball as a “game of failure,” where the best professional hitters strike out seven times out of 10.

Perseverance and patience are key in baseball, they explained, with Baker saying players must keep their heads up and capitalize on success when it does come.

Pratt added: “The longer you stay attached to failure, the more you’re going to fail in the future.”

Whether it’s in an individual play, a game, or an entire season,

failure is inevitable in sports. Baker and Dawson described how their football and basketball programs, respectively, have experienced losing records throughout their high school careers.

But, working through confl ict is part of sports, Dawson stressed. Making a journey of learning “to love a sport when you’re not successful” has been one of the most valuable aspects of her sports career, she said.

“You have to fi nd the joy in your sport, in the little things,” Dawson continued. “ … I think that’s valuable too, maybe more so than points or wins.”

As they’ve persevered in their individual sports over the years, all six seniors hoped to continue their athletic careers in some capacity after high school. Whether it’s competing at the college level, playing intramurals, or taking daily runs, they want to make athletics part of their adult lives.

If that’s the case, they’ll likely learn more from their mutual teacher and continue becoming the best versions of themselves.

“I think (athletics) is a part of growing up,” Amaya said. “ … For people who have that opportunity, it’s important to take it. Giving it a try never hurts.”

Mercenary Naturalist’ is new book

by Doug Reagan

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Doug Reagan grabs your attention immediately! “A full moon floats over the surface of Lac de Guiers, Senegal” ... he’s out with a flashlight, “looking for the red eye shine of crocodiles.” What if he trips over one, I wonder, thinking of those big sharp teeth. He’s just arrived in Western Africa, having flown in from New York. He explains that an environmental assessment of the Senegal River basin was needed as part of a project to build a dam ...

Reagan’s new book, “The Mercenary Naturalist,” is now available, with stories about his work in various tropical locations, with assistance from various crews, views of rare and startling birds and creatures, notes about foods, customs, lush trees and plants and, of course, individual ecosystems and the people who inhabit them ...

“Dakar assaulted my nostrils,” he wrote — “unlike any city I had visited back home ... Women in long, brightly colored print dresses and matching headwraps browsed through the shops and paraded

regally among market stalls ... The beauty of gold necklaces, bracelets and ornate earrings displayed against their lustrous chocolateblack skin was stunning...”

After a good night’s sleep, he was awakened the next morning to the muzzein’s loud call to prayer for the Muslim faithful.

With his first field trip scheduled the following week, he visited the office the next day to check on supplies he had ordered shipped there. But he learned that members of the health team had been in and taken his supplies, which weren’t set aside for him. He scrounged up what replacements he could and from then on, became skilled at improvising in the bush.

The Senegal River Basin was about the size of New Mexico, Reagan says, and the first project had four components: construction of the Diama Dam near the Senegal River mouth; development of intense cropland along the lower portion of the river basin; construction of a high dam on the Bafing River to regulate water levels and generate hydroelectric power; and dredging of the lower river channel for navigation by commercial river traffic. Roads were poor and fieldwork was difficult. He further learned that because countries involved were poor, they would not be required to make even modest project modifications to compensate for impacts on the environment ...

The only chance of successful mitigation seemed to require plans that would cost almost nothing ... Add prolonged drought and a shortage of drinking water. Birds were a bright spot: white pelicans; redbeaked hornbills; crimson bishop finches; hoopoes, with garish orange and black crests; Abyssinian rollers, turquoise crow-sized birds with iridescent cobalt blue wing patches ... iridescent blue-green bee-eaters and more ...

Troops of monkeys, an occasional gazelle, warthogs ...

As they traveled, they made an attempt to learn some basic words in the Wolof language and Reagan tried to record animal species and learn about them from local people.

I am just talking about the first excursion. Reagan goes on to describe more expeditions — back to Africa, to a rain forest in Puerto Rico, to Sumatra, to the Amazon, Eritrea, New Guinea, the Congo, the Philippines and more. In each location, Reagan was concerned about construction or mining’s effect on the flora and fauna, as well as identifying ecological issues and problems for any local resident ... often the outlook was bleak and concern for healthy surroundings was not a factor for corporate employers or national rulers ...

Ponderosa sees state quarterfinal game against Erie slip away

derosa’s 19-yard line before turning it over on downs, and their last possession was used to run out the final 52 seconds of the game).

BY ALEX K.W. SCHULTZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

There are “tale of two halves” football games.

Then there was the PonderosaErie Class 4A state quarterfinal game Saturday afternoon at EchoPark Stadium.

No. 3-seeded Ponderosa, behind near-perfect quarterback play and an opportunistic defense, was cruising in the first half and looked poised to punch its ticket to the semifinal round of the state championships for the first time in four years.

However, the wheels quickly and completely and shockingly came off for the Mustangs as the 11th-seeded Tigers scored 35 unanswered points in the second half to stun Ponderosa 43-25.

“They made some big plays and we didn’t,” Mustangs coach Jaron Cohen said.

True, but those eight words don’t fully capture what transpired in the second half.

Consider: In the first two quarters, the harvest was bountiful

for Ponderosa’s passing attack as senior quarterback Zach Stryker completed 8 of 9 passes for 188 yards and three touchdowns, powering the Mustangs to a 25-8 halftime lead.

In the second half? Four of the Mustangs’ eight drives ended in interceptions, and Stryker and his troop of receivers could only squeeze out 79 yards of offense through the air.

Also consider: In the first half, the

Tigers seemed almost allergic to the end zone. They scored once, but the results of their other four drives were two interceptions — one right outside Ponderosa’s end zone and the other near the Mustangs’ 20-yard line — a punt and a failed fake punt.

In the final two quarters? Five of Erie’s eight possessions resulted in touchdowns (the Tigers also threatened on another of their possessions, moving the ball to Pon-

Of course, because of the Mustangs’ four turnovers, Erie had excellent field position all second half. Not counting their final possession, the Tigers’ average starting field position was Ponderosa’s 37-yard line.

So, what happened in that fateful second half for Ponderosa?

“We didn’t come out like we did in the first half,” Stryker said. “We just got lazy. We kind of took our foot off the gas pedal.”

Which was all the more puzzling considering what Ponderosa was able to do in the game’s first 24 minutes.

The Mustangs got points on their first four possessions — a 36-yard Logan Matthews field goal, a 7-yard touchdown strike from Stryker to Max Mervin, an 80-yard catch and run by Carson Keach, and a madefor-YouTube touchdown grab by Dylan Karsteter in the back corner of the end zone — to take a 17-point lead at the game’s midway point.

That lead evaporated in a hurry, though, as Erie scored touchdowns on four consecutive possessions out of the break — in a matter of just 10 minutes, 52 seconds — to go ahead 36-25 late in the third quarter.

Headed for the Super Bowl, Pop Warner style

Highlands Ranch 12U football team going to Orlando for second year in a row

BY ALEX SCHYULTZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Believe it or not, a football team from Colorado is going to the Super Bowl this year.

No, the team doesn’t hail from Dove Valley. They don’t spend $170 million annually on their roster. And they don’t attract millions of viewers every time they play.

What they do do — contrary to the team just alluded to — is run an exciting brand of football, score points by the bushel and not only win games, but bring opponents to their knees in the process.

And on Dec. 1, the 12U Highlands Ranch Mountain Lions will board a plane and take their collective talents to the bright lights of the Camping World Stadium sports complex in Orlando, Florida, where they’ll compete in the 64th Pop Warner Super Bowl.

Seven other 12U teams will be there. The Mountain Lions are guaranteed two games, which will be on Dec. 3 and 6. If they win those two, they’ll play for the ultimate prize on Dec. 9 at the 60,000-capacity Camping World Stadium, the current home to college football’s Cheez-It Bowl and Citrus Bowl.

“I think we definitely have a chance

(to win it all),” said Jack Lind, a 13-year-old slot receiver who also plays cornerback for the Mountain Lions. “Some of those teams are really good.”

In the 40-year history of Pop Warner football in Colorado, no team from the Centennial State has ever won the Super Bowl. That streak nearly ended last year, though, when the Mountain Lions punched their ticket to Orlando, went 1-1 there and finished the season ranked No. 5 nationally.

That experience, head coach Jason Lind and assistant coach Donnie Salum believe, will serve their players well when the time comes to lace up in Orlando once again. The youngsters have already witnessed the trappings of Pop Warner’s biggest stage — the lights, the cameras, the stars. There’s comfort in knowing what to expect. (The players met four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski at Raymond James Stadium, home to the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ahead of their second game last year).

“We’re so much more prepared,” said the elder Lind, who played football and ran track at UC Davis. “We kind of went into it blind last year. We know what to expect this year.”

Making it to the Super Bowl isn’t easy — Highlands Ranch had to win league, state and regional championships to get there.

The Mountain Lions went 7-1 in Rocky Mountain Pop Warner League play to capture the league title and earn a spot in the state champion-

ship game against the Soco Warriors (Colorado Springs), whom they steamrolled 32-8. Highlands Ranch went on to shut down the Los Lunas Tigers (New Mexico) 53-0 and the St. Philip’s Saints (Texas) 38-6 in a pair of regional games to claim the Southwest Region crown.

According to Salum, in the game against St. Philip’s, the Saints fielded five 200-plus-pound players, but Highlands Ranch still won going away.

“We’re small, but we’re fast and disciplined,” said Salum, who was drafted in 1990 by the Atlanta Falcons out of the University of Arizona.

Donnie Salum Jr., 12, a running back and defensive end for Highlands Ranch, echoed what his father said: “We’re much faster and tougher than other teams. We’re more disciplined.”

The Mountain Lions use that speed to their advantage, too, especially on offense. Unlike Pop Warner teams of yore and most of today’s Pop Warner teams, Highlands Ranch runs a spread-type offense, deploying four receivers on every play. Running backs? Yeah, they’re in there, but they’re usually busy running routes, too.

Think Mike Leach and the Air Raid offense, Pop Warner-style.

“Opposing teams have never seen it,” the senior Lind said.

The result: The Mountain Lions have mercy-ruled every team they’ve played this year except one. In fact, many of the Mountain Lions’ scoring drives during all those drubbings lasted all of two or three plays because they have the ability to cover

so much ground so quickly.

Of course, to make that kind of offense go, having a smart, accurate player at the controls is a must, and Highlands Ranch has one in 13-yearold quarterback Bentley Unruh, who has accounted for 40 total touchdowns this season.

“It’s fun,” Unruh said of the Mountain Lions’ pass-happy offense. “I just like throwing the ball a lot. A lot of teams don’t do that. I always know Tav’s down there somewhere.”

The “Tav” Unruh is speaking of is one of his trusty receivers, Tavish Burt.

“Sometimes I get nervous on deep passes because I don’t want to drop them,” said Burt, a seventh-grader at Castle Rock Christian Academy.

But Burt doesn’t drop many. Instead, he’s snagged a whole bunch of spirals thrown his way en route to scoring 17 touchdowns this season.

Moral of the story: The Mountain Lions can score and score often.

“If you make it to the championship game in Orlando,” someone begins to ask the Highlands Ranch coaches and players, “do you think you’ll be able to replicate what you’ve done …”

The elder Salum interjects.

“When we make it to the championship game, not if. We’re going to win this thing.”

The team has started a GoFundMe to help defray the expenses of the Orlando trip for the players.

QUARTERFINAL

There was still plenty of time for Ponderosa to come back, but too much damage — both on the scoreboard and, in all likelihood, psychologically — had already been done. Erie tacked on a touchdown with 3:07 remaining to put the game out of reach for the Mustangs.

“It was a good high school football game,” Cohen said. “Week 1 (on Aug. 26, when Ponderosa beat Erie

39-27 in both teams’ season openers) was a good game and this was a good game. Erie’s a good team. Good luck to them moving forward.”

Stryker finished 19-for-31 for 267 yards. His main targets were Keach (114 yards), Karsteter (58 yards) and Mervin (43 yards), who all caught four passes. Stryker distributed the ball to nine different receivers in the game.

Leading the way on the ground for Ponderosa was Sean Davis, who toted the ball seven times for 57 yards. Ethan Rodriguez added 39 yards on 10 carries.
