Looking back at long career Superintendent Scott Murphy enters final weeks at Littleton Public Schools

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Retiring Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy began his career days with, literally, a bang.

“At 12, my mom helped me start a fireworks stand,” remembers Murphy, now 62. “My first stand burned down, and I was in it. I had to be dragged out.”

Fortunately, things improved after that for Murphy, who will retire in June. By 16, he had six employees and successful stands on each end of Lake Loveland. Raised by a single mom, a teacher, the venture paid for his bachelor’s degree in social work from Colorado

State University.

But he wanted a graduate degree, so he continued to find creative ways to supplement his income. At one point he went to work for a guy who repossessed items like TVs and furniture.

“But here I am a social worker,” he said. “One day I went up, knocked on the door, and there was my client. I only lasted about three days.”

While workMurphy ing toward his master’s in public administration from the University of Colorado, he worked with youths in Boulder County for a time, and later with the Colorado Department of Education as an evaluation analyst. He eventually became the CDE’s director of community-based education.

Summer meals for children proposed City sponsoring program to offer free lunches to school-age kids

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com How can lunch be provided to Englewood’s school-age kids during the summer?

Mike Flaherty, deputy city man-

ager, said the answer to that question was for Englewood to serve as the sponsor for a state-funded program to provide free lunches to school-age children from June through the end of August.

“Englewood schools had a summer lunch program last year but do not plan to have that program this year,” Flaherty told the council at the April 13 study session. “The city wants to step in Meals continues on Page 4

NEWS IN A HURRY Kudos for ACC Arapahoe Community College has been named a Top 100 Workplace in Colorado for 2015 by The Denver Post. ACC is ranked No. 6 on the list of employers with more than 500 local employees.

ACC also received the paper’s Work/ Life Flexibility award, based on employee responses on a survey.

The Top Workplaces are determined solely on employee feedback via an employee survey conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading research firm on organizational health and employee engagement. Metrics include company leadership, communication, career opportunities, working environment, managerial skills, pay and benefits.

Parks compete for $20,000

Mackintosh Academy enlightens kids, literally

A celebration at Mackintosh Academy went on as planned on April 16, even though the guest of honor failed to show up.

“There is one conspicuous absence for a solar celebration, and that is, of course, the sun,” said teacher Joe Pausback, as spring snow fell outside the IB World school.

But the real stars of the day were the six students whose bright idea literally lit up the room. Delia Guilbert, Nicholas Booth, Sydney Gelman, Skyler Bernard, Allie O’Brien and Aria Marizza put their heads together and came up with a truly illuminating plan.

“The journey to today started just a little bit over a year ago when six sixth-graders decided to dream big,” said Diane Dunne, head of school. “They wanted to think about what would make their school a better place, what would make Colorado a bet-

the buildings, but also in the minds of the students who will follow in their footsteps.

The school is working with the National Energy Renewal Laboratory to develop a curriculum around solar power, and some of the savings realized from the panels will go toward tuition assistance and scholarships to the school, which specializes in teaching gifted and creative children.

“It will allow more students to attend, and maybe some students who really, really need to be here,” said Kristi Holmes Espiñeira, chair of the Mackintosh board of trustees, praising the kids for their confidence and inspiration.

But they are still just kids, so the celebration ended with the whole schools’ stunning production of a “Solar Medley,” featuring fun songs like “Here Comes the Sun” and “Walking on Sunshine.”

Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec invited the students to next get to work helping him figure out how to get an overpass from Main Street across Santa Fe. “You recognize that our life is what speaks to the world through our actions,” he said. “… I’m always thrilled when I see young folks who have been able to put all those pieces together.”

ter state, and the world a better place. But they didn’t stop at dreaming, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work.”

Their hard work resulted in the installation of 97 solar panels on the school’s campus, reducing the school’s electric bill by 70 percent, or about $225,000. It’s saving the equivalent of 40,000 pounds of coal, or 4,400 trees, each year.

“It’s a miracle,” said Bernard. “It’s like something out of a dream. I can look up at the solar panels and think, `We did this!’ It may seem small to everyone else, but to us, it means the world.”

The kids knew they were going to have to come up with a hefty chunk of change to make their dream a reality, and none of them had allowances big enough to cover the $95,950 required. But they had mad grant-writing skills, as it turns out, and the State Farm Youth Advisory Board gladly wrote a check.

“Can I just say wow!” said Guilbert. “Realizing that we actually got the grant seemed so unreal, I could hardly believe it. But with the solar panels being up, it just brings to light this amazing accomplishment.”

For kids so young, their legacy will be long-lasting, and not just on the roofs of

Students frustrated by number of tests Littleton High School group takes its concerns to board

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Led by Littleton High School senior Jackie Lombardi, a small group of students spent the school year researching the reallife impact that standardized testing has on their lives.

“The purpose of these tests is to show how well a student is progressing in their subjects, but they’re losing valuable instructional time in order to take these tests, which is a very ironic fact,” Lombardi told members of the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education during its April 9 meeting.

Lombardi is the student-body vice president and active with the LHS Political Acntion Committee. Like many parents, the students are concerned about the addition of yet another test this year, the Partnership

for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career, or PARCC. They took the first part in March and will finish it up in May. “We understand that some standardized testing is obviously needed to measure the growth of students, but when we’re taking three relatively similar examinations in one year, when exactly do these results become redundant?” Lombardi said.

There are at least six other mandatory tests issued each year, and the LHS students calculate that 40 hours of instructional time is lost just administering them. That doesn’t include teacher time or prep work at the administration level.

“This is the equivalent of approximately 6 percent of the school year,” said Lombardi. “The time spent testing — keep in mind, this does not include breaks or extended lunch hours — is equivalent to 10 school days.”

A state task force in January agreed that’s a lot of time.

“Findings from research studies and public input made it clear that Colorado’s current system of state and local assess-

Davis family website urges bills’ passage

y

SafeColoradoSchools.com supports pending legislation

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Michael and Desiree Davis, the parents of slain Arapahoe High School student Claire Davis, have launched a website in support of two pieces of proposed legislation designed to increase school safety and accountability.

“Thank you for all of the support you’ve provided us in the 16 months since a very troubled Arapahoe High School student, Karl Pierson, killed our daughter, Claire,” they wrote in an email announcing the website, www.SafeColoradoSchools.com, on April 10. “You may have read that Littleton Public Schools has agreed to participate in an arbitrated discovery process, which should help us learn about all of the events surrounding Claire’s death. While we’re pleased with this development, our top priority now is the enactment of two bills that will go a long way toward making our schools safer.”

The first bill, SB 213, would recognize the responsibility of schools to protect their students, faculty and staff from reasonably foreseeable acts of violence within school

facilities and at school-sponsored events.

The measure also provides a narrow definition of the circumstances in which a lawsuit could be brought against a school for breaching that responsibility and sets a cap on the damages that can be recovered.

“The General Assembly acknowledges that times have changed in this country and in this state because there have been so many acts of school violence in which students and teachers have been killed and injured,” reads the bill. “Parents have a reasonable expectation that when they send their children to a public school that the school and its employees will have taken steps to keep the children safe.”

The second bill, SB 214, would create a permanent committee on school safety and youth mental health and charge it with examining ways to improve how schools and the mental-health system deal with troubled youths.

“If you agree that it’s time to enact new incentives for Colorado schools to keep students and staff safe, and to produce meaningful changes in how we deal with troubled young people, we hope you’ll express your support to lawmakers,” the Davises wrote.

Both bills have passed out of committee and are awaiting a vote by the Senate.

If passed, they will head over to the House side.

ments has created far too many demands on time, logistics and finances that are impacting the teaching and learning process in schools and undermining public support for the assessment system as a whole,” concluded a state task force in January.

Legislation is winding its way through the state Capitol that seeks to rein in some of the testing, or at least let districts opt out. It’s been endorsed by Gov. John Hickenlooper and the state board of education, and especially by the kids who have to take them.

Lombardi told the board the tests themselves are fraught with technical glitches, vagueness and confusing instructions, and they sometimes ask questions about things the students haven’t yet been taught.

“Not only were students losing class time to take a test, but many of them were simply sitting in a room unable to do anything for long periods of time,” she said. “(And) different students may be taking various courses despite being in the same grade — one student might be in a physics class while another is in a chemistry class,

but the test this year focused mainly on earth science and very few other subjects.

This poses the question of how accurate the results of these tests are.”

The students also researched the financial impacts of testing on LPS. For starters, the district spent $1 million this year so each student could have a computer on which to take the online-only tests.

“We would suggest the funds being dedicated to standardized testing could be going towards purchasing supplies, funding new teachers or reducing class sizes,” said Lombardi.

Members of the school board congratulated the kids on their effort, and encouraged them to testify before the state Legislature when the bill progresses.

“However passionate we are about this issue, we find it important to present our concerns to you from the perspective of high school students, the people who are most affected by mandated standardized examinations,” Lombardi said.

Train heritage symposium set No time lost on LOST tickets

Rocky Mountain society holding event at Malley Center

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Continuing efforts to save historic railroad structures, the Rocky Mountain Railroad Heritage Society will hold its annual symposium from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 2 at the Malley Senior Recreation Center, 3380 S. Lincoln St., Englewood.

“Our society has projects to try to save a dozen historic railroad buildings,” said Jim Jordan, event organizer. “All the buildings are more than 100 years old with the exception of the Craig Depot that is 98 years old.”

The symposium is an annual event to bring attention to the need to save and restore aging Colorado railroad historical structures. Some of the structures the so-

ciety is seeking to save and restore are the train depots at Las Animas, Craig, Calhan, Dumont, Trinchere and Grand Junction as well as the Kit Carson Pump House.

The society is considering adding at least four more structures to its list after those buildings are assessed this summer.

This year’s symposium includes a number of presentations and the guest speaker is Jennifer Charles, project manager for Colorado Preservation Inc. A silent auction will also be held during the symposium that will be featuring items that includes two separate rail getaway trips to Grand Junction.

For the first time, there will also be an art show as part of the symposium that will feature works of a number of artists, including Chris May and Michael Morris.

Admission to the symposium is $15 for non-members and $7.50 for society members. However, there is no charge to visit the art show.

For information about the symposium or tickets, call 303-269-9768.

to provide a summer lunch program this summer.”

He said the proposal got a boost when Englewood joined Denver and Aurora in applying for Cities Combating Hunger through Afterschool and Summer Meals Program (CHAMP) grants, which are federal funds administered by the National League of Cities. Each of the three cities received a $30,000 grant, and Englewood decided to use the grant to hire Jessica Luem to oversee the city lunch program.

Flaherty said Luem was a natural choice.

She started the Well Fed program six years ago to help provide food to needy families of Englewood students. The program began providing food for 25 families. Today, the program works out of rooms in the Maddox building.

More than 200 families of Englewood students receive food from the program, either in the bags provided for students to take home or by families coming to Maddox to select food from the shelves.

“The initial plan was to have an afterschool program at Bishop (Elementary School) for the remainder of this school year and hopefully for the whole school next year,” Flaherty said. “But all the details didn’t work out, so now the goal is to have the after-school meal program ready to go when school opens in August.”

At the same time, Luem has been working to get the required permits from

Tri-County Health Department to put on the summer lunch program as planned.

She said the requirements are very stringent and she is continuing to seek to fulfill the requirements so the permits can be issued. She said she is planning to get special event permits from the city, which will allow the program to go on as planned.

“Our proposal is for any school-age child to pick up a free lunch Monday through Friday from June 1 through Aug. 14,” Luem told the council. “We want to set the program up here near the amphitheater at CityCenter Englewood. It is a central location with good connections to transportation.”

She explained that the lunches will be distributed from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily and the one requirement is the child must eat the meal on-site. She also wants to have fun things for kids to do, like sidewalk chalk art, and the library plans to offer summer reading programs.

“The program will be at no cost to the city since the state reimburses us for the lunches we serve,” Luem said. “We want to do this program right, to provide tasty, healthy lunches to the children. My hope is kids will take advantage of the free meals and my hope is we can provide lunches to about 250 children a week.”

She said the plan is to buy the sack lunches of healthy food from a contractor.

The city will pay the contractor for the lunches and then be reimbursed by the state.

new Espresso Yourself Café on that date, the 50th anniversary of ACC’s grand opening in 1965.

“We have taken your suggestions, now come see what’s going inside,” said Jeff Duggan, director of communications, in a news release that hints at other surprises. He said the time capsule will be locked away, never to be seen again until the 75th anniversary celebration in 2040.

Founded in 1965 through a grassroots movement by members of the Littleton community, ACC was the first community college to open in the Denver area.

What began as Arapahoe Junior College with 550 students has grown into a community college serving more than 22,000 credit, non-credit and online students.

Classes were originally held in the former West Elementary School, in some houses and in other downtown Littleton buildings.

By 1974, the main campus building, designed by architect Eugene Sternberg, was completed and most classes moved into it.

Today, ACC offers nearly 100 degree and certificate programs and more than 200 online classes.

State legislators OK $25 billion budget Includes $70 million for surplus tax refunds in 2016

By Ivan Moreno Associated Press

A $25 billion Colorado budget with taxpayer refunds and more funding for education was sent to the governor’s desk after state lawmakers gave final approval to the spending plan last week.

“No one pretends that this year’s budget was perfect. But it was collaborative,’’ said Republican Sen. Kevin Grantham, one of six legislative members of the budget-writing Joint Budget Committee. “We worked together. We didn’t get everything we wanted.

We didn’t get rid of everything we wanted.”

The GOP-led Senate approved the budget April 17 on a 31-2 vote, with only Democrats dissenting. The budget previously cleared the Democrat-controlled House on a 45-20 vote. Republicans were the only no votes there.

The budget, which takes effect July 1, includes funding increases for education, transportation, and money earmarked for surplus refunds for residents required under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. The document calls for money to be returned to taxpayers when the state’s revenue growth exceeds the rate of population growth and inflation.

Most of the $25 billion includes federal funds over which lawmakers have little control. Included in the overall budget figure is $9.6 billion general funding — tax revenue that lawmakers oversee. However, even within that pot of money there’s little wiggle room. Schools alone receive $3.5 billion in general fund spending, an increase of $200 million from last year.

“Not only are we working to restore past cuts to K-12 (education), this year our budget again makes significant new investments in higher education to reverse past budget cuts and to do what we are able to do to mitigate tuition increases,’’ said Democratic Rep. Pat Steadman, a member of the Joint Budget Committee.

Public colleges are getting nearly $857 million in general fund dollars, about $100 million more from last year.

Health Care Policy and Financing, which oversees Medicaid, takes up $2.5 billion in general fund spending and nearly $8.9 billion in federal dollars.

For surplus tax refunds, lawmakers are budgeting about $70 million for next year when people file income taxes, and $117 million the following year. The first refunds will average between $15 and $47 for individuals, and between $30 and $94 for joint returns, depending on income.

The Senate Democrats who voted against the budget criticized the refunds at a time when they would like to see more money for schools and colleges to continue restoring cuts from the Great Recession.

Lawmakers approved the budget a day after Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper sent them a letter outlining a plan to try to resolve what he calls the state’s “fiscal thicket,” a series of conflicting constitutional and state legislative mandates that restrict taxing and spending.

Part of Hickenlooper’s plan calls for reclassifying what is known as the hospital provider fee, a charge enacted in 2009. The state then uses the money to get a federal match to help pay for more Medicaid patients.

Currently, the revenue collected from those fees does not go into the general fund, but they still create a refund liability that the general fund must pay for, potentially at the expense of other budget areas.

Hickenlooper’s administration says it wants to refund money to taxpayers the next two years. But by reclassifying the hospital provider fee, the state could avoid refunds in future years, making money available instead for transportation projects and schools.

The plan was has received a lukewarm response from lawmakers. Some say there’s little time in the session to do anything about the governor’s proposal; others support refunding money to taxpayers.

A more traditional way for the state to keep the money is to go to voters for permission.

Jobs for grads likely to grow, survey says Institute’s research shows a likely 16 percent rise in hiring across nation

By Paul Wiseman Associated Press

The consulting and accounting firm EY is aggressively recruiting on college campuses this spring. The company formerly known as Ernst & Young plans to hire 9,000 graduates from U.S. universities this year, up from 7,500 in 2014. But recruiting isn’t as easy as it used to be.

“I’m seeing a lot more competition” from rival employers, says Dan Black, EY’s Americas recruiting leader.

That’s good news for college seniors and graduate students preparing to accept diplomas this spring, and a sign that new graduates will fare better than they did in 2014. The Labor Department reported last week that the unemployment rate for Americans in their 20s who received a fouryear or advanced degree last year rose to 12.4 percent from 10.9 percent in 2013.

“This is a real breakout year,” said Philip Gardner, director of Michigan State University’s Collegiate Employment Research Institute.

In a survey of employers last fall, the employment center found that hiring of graduates with four-year degrees will rise 16 percent this year.

“It’s led by the ones you would expect — engineering and business,’’ Gardner said.

“But there seems to be a lot of room for everybody… Even arts and humanities are making a comeback.”

Employers have more openings to fill because Baby Boomers are retiring and more workers are feeling confident enough about the economy to switch jobs. Overall, the United States generated 3.1 million jobs last year, the most since 1999. The overall

unemployment rate has fallen to 5.5 percent in March from 6.7 percent at the end of 2013.

Tyler Etten, 22, had a $54,000-a-year job in finance waiting for him when he graduated from Iowa State University in May 2014. Three months later, he bounced to an even better job with the investment firm Piper Jaffray in Minneapolis. His 3.5 grade point average helped. But Etten says he set himself apart by getting internships, participating in campus clubs and spending his spare time learning financial modeling and advanced Excel skills.

“A degree is not enough with record amounts of people graduating from college,” he said.

In particular, employer demand for socalled STEM graduates — in science, technology, engineering and mathematics — is high.

“We can’t graduate enough engineers,” said Holly Proffitt, employer relations coordinator in the career services office at Arkansas State University.

Still, many recent college grads are struggling and have yet to enjoy a full recovery from the dark days of the Great Recession.

In a report last year, researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco found that wages for recent college graduates haven’t kept up with overall wages since the Great Recession. Between 2007 and 2014, median wages for all full-time workers rose 15 percent. For recent college grads, they rose just 6 percent. The same thing happened after the 2001 recession: College grads’ wages lagged behind everyone else’s as the economy recovered, the report said.

The Michigan State survey found that 62 percent of employers were planning to keep starting wages flat for college grads compared to last year; 37 percent planned to increase starting salaries. The increases tended to range from 3 percent to 5 percent.

OPINION

The Independent | The Herald 7

&

O U R S

Invisibility may have some unseen benefits So this past Sunday before heading to church we decided to go out to breakfast.

And as we entered the restaurant the staff was happily greeting each guest who arrived and let them know they would be right with them. However, for whatever reason, when we walked in there was dead silence as they busied themselves with the work immediately in front of them.

Now I get that they were very busy, yet when the people behind us walked in they also received the warm and courteous greeting. I didn’t take it personally, as I am sure we were just caught in a moment of the staff being super busy. But I will share that for a moment it felt like we were invisible.

Have you ever felt that way? You know what I mean, right? That feeling when others around you may be receiving a little extra attention or being waited on or taken care of and you are left there wondering what you did and if you possibly offended anyone. Do I look different? Am I reeking of body odor? Or am I just invisible today?

There are times when we want to be invisible. There are situations or events happening around us where we just hope and pray no one calls on us or asks us a question, or God forbid, asks us to participate in some way. And we certainly want to be invisible when asked to volunteer for a project or opportunity that just doesn’t fit

in with who we are or creates a conflict in our social calendar.

“You want me to do what? When?” …

“I am very sorry, you see that was the day I was going to rearrange my sock drawer, paint my garbage cans, create a database for my soup recipes alphabetically, phonetically, numerically, and categorize each by ingredient. And, if I could squeeze it in, list all the people I know who have seen the movie ‘Sleepless in Seattle’ at least 10 times. So you see, I would love to help but I am just very busy.” We can make a million excuses and make ourselves invisible when and if we really want to, can’t we?

Let’s think about this in a slightly different way. How about when we give anonymously or do some kind of random act of kindness? Doing things for others when no one else knows that we did it, contributing to a great cause and not attaching our name to the message or posting. Are we invisible when we do those things? Yes we

are, and I have to share with you those are probably the times we feel the best.

It’s easy to feel offended or hurt when others are receiving special attention and we feel like we have been overlooked or forgotten, when we feel like maybe we are invisible in the eyes of people, companies, our friends, and sometimes even our own families. And even though the excuses come fairly easily, we probably feel some sense of guilt for not volunteering or making ourselves invisible when our friend calls and needs our help moving for the third time in two years.

And when we determine that we want to be invisible for a good cause, when we do something for the greater good, or for even one person or family and they had no idea that we did it, it’s in those moments of invisibility that we receive the greatest joy and satisfaction.

How about you? Are you conveniently invisible when you want to be or do you intentionally make yourself invisible for a good cause? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we choose to become visible for the right reasons, it really will be a better than good week.

Got a little list of things that would be missed Don’t know much about history. Don’t know much biology. I know what a slide rule is for, but you can have it.

It’s looking like I am going to exit with some serious gaps. I am in the wading pool of scholarship.

I am still learning, mind you, but it’s mostly in bits and pieces without a serious effort.

I try to watch programs that are factbased, especially documentaries.

I don’t watch any dramas or situation comedies. I have never watched “CSI.” Doesn’t interest me.

I don’t want to escape. I want to stay right here, and know what is going on in the real world, as disturbing as it almost always is.

I woke to the news and the video of a South Carolina cop being charged with murder.

The whole wide world is watching (white) police officers right now, and he goes and guns down a (black) man — in the back.

Once a year I make a list. It’s my “What Makes Life Worth Living” list. I recommend one.

Mine hasn’t changed very much since October 13, 2011.

That’s the night I met Jennifer at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center in Greenwood Village, where I was giving a painting demonstration.

Of course, I didn’t know that she would be on my list that night. It took a little over a month.

If you are a longtime reader of “Quiet

Desperation,” you can probably guess what is on my list.

(Please don’t bug me about the whereabouts of God. I keep it to myself.)

Jennifer and Smitty top it.

I have two best friends too.

Two may not sound like much, but they are more than enough. Constant and true.

I don’t get to see either one of them very often, but I always know that they are there.

Painting and writing. Writing and painting. They are neck and neck. I never would have guessed.

This little column is on my list. I never underestimate the opportunity, or my responsibility, as a journalist. Six hundred words a week, across topics that are generally unplanned, and just wander into my head.

I was thinking about Sam Cooke this morning. That’s how this one got started.

“Don’t know much about history.”

Cooke was great. Details about death remain unclear.

He was shot to death at a hotel on Figueroa in Los Angeles, by the hotel manager.

Cooke was only 33.

Cooke and Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding sang songs that I still listen to.

Have you ever heard Jeff Buckley sing Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah”?

Buckley died when he was only 30, and his father Tim died when he was only 28.

Both are nearly forgotten, but shouldn’t be.

I am listening to Mozart piano. Music will always be on my list. Films and nonfiction likewise.

“Over a dog,” Jack Nicholson’s character says in “As Good as It Gets.”

Dogs are as good as it gets.

The year is off to a bumpy start with terrorist videos, the university attack in Kenya and that sabotaged plane in the Alps.

The trials of the Boston Marathon bomber and the Aurora theater murderer bring back bad memories.

That’s when a dog comes in handy. I’m telling you.

Waking sober will always be on my list.

If you know, then you know, and good luck, my friend.

This time I am going to add the rabbits in the neighborhood.

They are all over the place before the sun comes up. I think they are looking to add to the population. Just by hopping around with each other, sitting in the street obliviously, they get my day off to a good start.

What’s on your list?

Plan could fix veterans’ health care system Want to know how the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital system is doing?

Colorado residents need only look to the VA hospital under construction in Aurora.

It is now years behind schedule, and the VA says it needs hundreds of millions of additional tax dollars to continue construction. Never mind that the hospital’s initial $328 million price tag has now ballooned to $1.73 billion.

This fiasco is just one of many problems that have plagued veterans’ care in the state of Colorado. Shortly after the Phoenix VA scandal erupted last year, we learned that VA staffers in Colorado were also guilty of falsifying data and keeping secret wait lists to make average patient wait times look better. And amazingly, VA officials knew staffers were cooking the books as far back as 2013, yet failed to address it, according to CNN. In response to these scandals, Congress

FORMER CONGRESSMAN JIM MARSHALL GUEST COLUMN passed and funded the Veterans Access, Accountability and Care Act of 2014, but as of this month, wait times in Colorado remain among the worst in the nation, according to VA data.

This isn’t surprising, since the Veterans Health Administration is a historic anomaly. It was created and vital when America’s civilian health care system lacked the competence and capacity to satisfy veterans’ health care entitlements. But now the VHA is utterly dwarfed by the convenience,

efficiency and competence of America’s civilian-sector health care system. And as a legacy bureaucracy, the VHA struggles with change and worries about survival and relevance.

Demographics alone assure these worries will not subside. VA projects that the sheer number of veterans will decline drastically during the next 20 years. And with the passing of Vietnam-era veterans like me, a much smaller percentage of veterans will seek and/or be entitled to care through the VA. Given these truths, VA health care must either be blended into America’s civilian sector, or it will inevitably become dramatically more expensive per patient, more incompetent, more inconvenient or, more likely, suffer a combination of these three ills.

Veterans Continued from Page 7

VAACA, though well-intended, is an expensive and inefficient attempt to address only the wait time and inconvenience symptoms of VHA’s basic, legacy malaise.

What’s been needed for some time is fundamental VHA reform that both improves care for veterans and saves tax dollars. That’s where the Veterans Independence Act comes in. Proposed by Concerned Veterans for America and its partners in the Fixing Veterans Health Care Taskforce, this proposed law would effect real and permanent VHA reform.

First and foremost, the Veterans Independence Act would expand veterans’ health care choices. At present, veterans need the VA’s approval to use their health care benefits, and it rarely allows them to seek private treatment. The Veterans Independence Act allows veterans to use VA benefits at private practices wherever and whenever they want.

It separates the VA’s payor and provider functions, greatly lessening VA’s bureaucratic tendency to protect its budget by finding more and more things to spend it on.

The Veterans Independence Act would

April 23, 2015

move the VA’s provider function (the hospitals, clinics, staff, equipment, etc.) into a notfor-profit, quasi-private entity that would compete for veterans’ health dollars and have the independence to make management decisions to increase efficiency, quality and customer service.

Basically, the Veterans Independence Act puts the veteran in the driver’s seat. Either go to the VA or go elsewhere: It’s the vet’s call, not the bureaucrat’s.

For the Veterans Independence Act to become law, we need Colorado’s 390,000 veterans to join together to fight for it. Concerned Veterans for America intends to lead that fight — and I hope you’ll join them.

We shared this important reform in Denver on April 17. CVA and others who share their concerns showed local veterans and military families how the Veterans Independence Act would help them secure the well-being they were promised. Together, we can ensure that Colorado’s veterans get quality health care when and where they need it — not after years of delays and billions of wasted dollars.

Man burns to death in Littleton No crime suspected, according to police

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Roger Alan Conklin, 52, died on April 13, apparently having burned to death.

The Littleton Police Department and Littleton Fire Rescue responded to 511 W. Crestline Circle about 1:30 p.m. on reports of a fire. When they arrived, they found Conklin on fire in the back yard.

City spokeswoman Kelli Narde said he was there alone, and it didn’t appear to be the result of foul play, drug manufacturing or an explosion. No structures on the property were affected, just Conklin, who was declared dead at the scene.

The on-scene investigation was completed that night, and the Arapahoe County Cornoner’s Office took possession of the body. Autopsy and toxicology reports were pending as of the next afternoon.

The Arapahoe County assessor’s website lists the property as having been owned by Kenneth and Mary Conklin since 2006.

The Crestline fire was the third in Littleton since March 30. Two separate fires on Federal Boulevard, one on March 30 and one on April 3, damaged two different apartment complexes just north of Bowles Avenue.

The first has been deemed an accident, said Narde, the result of some plumbing that was being done. No injuries were reported.

The second, according to Deputy Fire Marshal Doug Ireland, began in an empty unit on the lower floor where remodeling supplies were being stored.

“The contractor had cardboard boxes stored on top of the electric stove, and construction workers accidentally hit the control for the electric stove, turning a burner on high and starting the cardboard boxes on fire,” said Ireland.

Four pets died and four units were damaged, but no humans were injured.

Intricately detailed replicas of 10 national monuments made of LEGO bricks are on display throughout Park Meadows mall through April 26.

The displays are part of a 10-city traveling installation called LEGO American Roadshow: Building Across America. The large-scale models include the U.S. Capitol, White House, Supreme Court, Lincoln Memorial and the Liberty Bell, among others.

Though the structures look delicate, road show manager Andrew Little said the pieces are glued and the replicas are permanent. Most are on coasters for easy transportation between stops.

The U.S. Capitol building is the largest of the buildings on display at Park Meadows. It is 26 feet wide and 9 feet tall. Little wouldn’t say how many pieces it took to make the replica. Mall guests are asked to take a guess in exchange for a prize.

LEGO design teams crafted the structures. It took 400 hours to build the Lincoln Memorial.

“It’s impressive,” said Edwards resident Peter Law, visiting the mall with his daughter, Emily. “It’s really wild for us because a couple summers ago, we saw the real Liberty Bell.”

The bell is the only one among the displays that is life-sized.

A LEGO play area has also been set up during the roadshow. From noon to 4 p.m.

April 18 and 19 in the Macy’s Court area, visitors can build their own mini monument to take home.

Other LEGO displays at Park Meadows include a Colorado scene depicting a ski lift and mining. Photo by Jane Reuter

Also new at the mall

Park Meadows is making some changes at its Dining Hall.

By June, Colorado’s own Chipotle Mexican Grill will join the list of restaurants there, along with The Melt — which specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches, soups and other comfort variety foods — and Villa Italia Kitchen. The former Taco Bell site will convert to an updated Dairy Queen, offering baked goods as well as ice cream.

Several of the restaurants are also updating their storefronts.

“The new design is a little bit more cutting-edge,” said Park Meadows senior general manager Pamela Schenck-Kelly. “We’ll still have timbered ceilings and other Colorado finishes, but also digital screens and glass.”

Murphy says he planned earlier exit Murphy AHS tragedy kept him in Littleton an extra year, he says

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Scott Murphy announced last October — just 10 months after the tragedy at Arapahoe High School — that he would be retiring, he knew people would question the timing.

He has a very emphatic answer for those people.

“I didn’t leave because of Arapahoe, I stayed because of Arapahoe,” he said.

“Like the captain of a ship, even though you’re in a hurricane or a storm, they need to know they can count on you to help get them back to port with the confidence and knowledge of a sailor. You don’t look at your crew and say, `I’m abandoning the ship.’ I could not do that.

Anybody who knows me, knows that.”

Murphy, 62, told the board in October that he had intended to retire at the end of last school year. His grandfather died at 56; his father at 64. His wife retired 18 months ago.

“She’s been waiting for me, and I’d like to spend some quality time with her,” he said.

Murphy wants people to know why he sums up his career with a quote from TS Eliot: “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”

It’s because, he says, of a life-changing event that happened when he was a young man, behind the wheel of the car in a fatal accident.

“My girlfriend was in the car, and she died next to me on a gurney,” he said, struggling with tears. “I learned about struggles as a young person, trying to make sense out of loss, out of death. The wound was open and very painful at the time. Over time, the wound heals, but the scar doesn’t ever leave you. And it’s not all bad. It reminds you of the event. It’s something I can give back to others who need it.”

It’s an experience that led him to study social work, he says, and one he drew on in the aftermath of shooting on Dec. 13, 2013. That’s the day Karl Pierson fatally gunned down Claire Davis in a hallway before taking his own life in the school library.

“With the car accident, it can bring me to tears today,” he said. “But it’s about resiliency, not about forgetting. You have to learn from it, and ask the little questions

and the big ones. I don’t know all the answers, and I want to be fair to all people.”

It’s been difficult for him to remain as silent as he has regarding the incident, he says.

“One of the hardest things I’ve had to do is not talk to you so much,” he said.

“There’s so much we don’t know, and we gave the sheriff everything. We waited 10 months for the report. … I know what sells newspapers. But respect was really important to me. And there are a whole lot of people who want to tell you what to do, including insurance companies.”

He and others in the district had the same reaction to the sheriff’s report as many in the general public, he said.

“The diary stunned us,” he said. “It makes us realize there are kids who are deeply troubled. The issue is, how do we see it?”

To that end, Murphy found himself back at his beginnings, but with greater understanding. He ordered the creation of the security and mental health advisory committee, which is taking a hard look at that question and others.

“The question we will always have is, why?,” he said. “We know what happened, the question is, why?”

He notes that there have been plenty of other rough tides during his time in the district.

“We’ve focused a lot on Arapahoe, but I’ve been in emergency wards too many times, and I’m not sure I’ve always understood why,” he said.

During one night in the ‘90s, six kids in a car all died when they were hit by a train. A boy in the early part of this century was run over and killed by the car that was towing him on his skateboard. There have been overdoses, deaths from illness, a gang murder and many suicides.

“The suicides always haunt me,” he said. “But I didn’t leave. Because I’m proud of this place. This is my family, and there’s no place like home. And you never leave home.”

Murphy hopes Brian Ewert, his successor, can continue the work toward healing.

“He’ll need to help the community weather and grow out of crisis and trauma,” said Murphy. “I want people to know there is nothing sacred that we won’t look at, even the brutal facts. One of the most wonderful things in life is 20/20 hindsight. We’re taking time to look back.

They can count on us to always work to do the best thing. Can we say something won’t happen again? No. But we can actively put pieces in place that we need.”

Continued from Page 1

“I never quit social work, I just changed clients,” he said. “I get to work with people and help them be the best they can be. I was able to take that and help people focus on what’s important.”

Continuing his climb up the ladder, he landed in Aurora Public Schools for three years as the budget director.

“They were wonderful people to work with, and I loved knowing the schools and how the educational system works,” he said.

He went on to become the assistant superintendent in what was then the tiny Brighton school district, doing everything from sweeping floors to negotiating the multimillion-dollar deal to sell the land that became Denver International Airport.

“It was the greatest opportunity I’ve ever had, and I didn’t know what I was walking into,” he said.

Six years later, he became the chief financial officer for Littleton Public Schools. It was 1990, and the district was in the midst of its most turbulent time ever up to that point.

“About 1,500 people were at that first board meeting, and from that point on, we were off to the races,” he said.

A “back-to-basics” slate had just been elected to the board and was making sweeping changes. Ironicially, notes Murphy, some are federally mandated standards today. But it caused quite a stir in what had been considered a progressive district.

“We did learn some very, very important things very painfully,” he said.

“Academics are extremely important to people. But at the same time, how we treat people is very, very important to people. That same board was voted out two years later. You can have different points of view, but it’s about how you treat people. And all voices deserve to be heard. When you think you’re the only one who’s right, you’re in for a fight. … Since we came out of our difficult times, we’ve had phenomenal boards that don’t care about politics, they care about kids.”

Judging from comments made during the sold-out Littleton Public Schools

Foundation fundraising gala earlier this month, Murphy has managed to maintain the unity that ensued since those early days.

“Usually I’m the coolest guy in the room, being the beer guy, but son of a gun, I think you’ve got me trumped,” said Todd Thibault of Breckenridge Brewery, which hosted the dinner.

Lucinda Hundley, retired assistant superintendent, called Murphy a “selfless servant” and a “visionary leader” with a knack for building common ground.

“Scott is known for taking the politics out of school finance,” she said.

LPS Board President Jack Reutzel, commenting on the creation of the Scott Murphy Legacy Fund that will support security and mental-health efforts, praised Murphy for having the ability to recognize where there are needs.

“The most important thing in our lives is how we impact children, and how they become successful,” he said.

Murphy gives credit to the staff, board, his predecessors and the community as a whole for the district’s success, even when there were struggles like school closures and layoffs.

“Sometimes moving forward, you want people to not feel left behind,” he said. “Everyone wants to move forward.

Even if you like the way things are, you still want your flowers to grow. I want to bring everyone to the table. That’s my social-worker side.”

Moving forward for him means traveling with his wife, Teri Chavez, and serving on a variety of education-related boards and committees. He’s also teaching school finance at Regis University, and spends time feeding the homeless at St. Elizabeth’s on the Auraria Campus.

During the gala, after withstanding some good-natured jabbing about being known as the “no-snow-day superintendent,” Murphy thanked those who have stood in his support.

“All of us together are a team,” he said. “Thank you for letting me be a part of it. And thank you for always being about students’ success in whatever they may choose to do. We do this work together, and for that I will always be an LPS cheerleader.”

New to 9News, Fallon freaks at banter bout

Tattoo parlor creates buzz

Think Tank’s owner, Matt Sager, has always been artisitic but got interested in tattooing as a career after spending four years in the U.S. Air Force. Photos by Jennifer Smith

Think Tank opens doors in downtown Littleton

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Matt Sager wants to make one thing perfectly clear: He has no intentions of turning Main Street into Colfax Avenue.

“Downtown Littleton is becoming something bigger than what it was,” he said on April 15, six days after opening Think Tank tattoo parlor above Penzey’s Spices. “It’s a gem down here. The health inspector told me we really knocked this out of the park, and that it’s the nicest tattoo shop he’d ever seen in Colorado.”

With brick walls and hardwood floors, the store is more reminiscent of a warm and inviting downtown salon than a brash biker hangout, which is what some residents and even city officials were somewhat concerned about.

“I put a lot of work and time into this place to make it what it is for our clients,” Sager said. “And we reflect that in the quality of our work, as well.”

The walls are filled with colorful pieces done by Sager and his other three artists, some quirky, some elegant. He hopes to eventually employ two more people to serve clients, many of whom have followed

“The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon’s peeps intercepted a live shot exchange between 9News meteorologist Kathy Sabine and anchor Kyle Clark discussing the weather forecast recently.

If you’ve caught their act before, you know that Sabine and Clark love to banter during the newscast. But for a 9News newbie, the exchange was a bit prickly.

Standing in the “backyard” set, Sabine says that something smells like orange blossoms. Clark retorted that he thought the odor was Sabine’s hairspray.

“You don’t have any product (in your hair)?” Sabine asked Clark as she stroked his locks.

Clark: “Don’t ever touch me again.”

Fallon’s line: “The forecast is cloudy with a chance of go to hell, Brenda.”

Elder Manning, Griese at event

On May 5 at the Judi’s House Inaugural Speakers Series Luncheon “Strength in the Face of Adversity,” former NFL quarterback legends Archie Manning and Bob Griese will engage in a personal conversation about how the loss of their fathers at a young age affected their personal and professional journeys as athletes, fathers, husbands and men.

Former NFL quarterback and co-founder of Judi’s House, Brian Griese, will lead the conversation with these two remarkable men, and take the audience from the depths of their personal struggles to the peak of their professional triumphs.

The luncheon takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 5 at the Denver Marriott City Center, 1701 California St. Event chairs are Sheila and Hassan Salem and Mimi and Ed Roberson. Honorees are Sharon Magness Blake and Ernie Blake.

City Park Jazz’s 29th season

Rick Brown (left) and Teddy Safarian, two of Think Tank’s four tattoo artists, work on designs. The shop has space to employ six artists eventually. from Think Tank’s Denver location, which has been operating for 13 years. Sager said many of them were young professionals from the south-metro region in the first place, so the move seemed logical.

“There was nothing down here,” he said.

“And it’s a really cool, quaint, unique area.”

One reason there’s no nearby competition is that tattoo parlors were not allowed downtown until Sager dug his heels in to get the city’s planning board and city council to change the zoning. Finalized in February, the new ordinance limits the spacing between tattoo parlors in such a way that Think Tank is likely to be the only one.

“We had to jump through a lot of hoops,” said Sager.

Sager just turned 30 and lives in Englewood, but is looking for a home to buy in Littleton. He’s always been artistic, but he didn’t get interested in tattooing until after his four-year stint in the Air Force.

“I started getting back into graphic design, but I saw how the tattoo industry had changed,” he said. “There are a lot of artists in the industry. It’s a career, a legitimate career.”

He takes pride in helping clients know the difference between high-quality tattoo design and run-of-the-mill work.

“Stuff on paper doesn’t necessarily make the most sense on a certain body part,” he said. “We try to educate clients who come in and ask questions. Their idea might be on track to something bigger and better.”

Look for Sager and his team at community events, starting with the Ladies Only Sample Tour on May 7. They’ll be handing out small framed pieces of art they hope will appeal to the women who will flood Main Street that day. They’ll also welcome the community to several gallery shows throughout the year, so that even those who don’t want a tattoo get a chance to appreciate their art. Fundraisers for local nonprofits are also on Sager’s to-do list.

“Everyone’s been really welcoming, and we want to be an active part of the community,” he said.

Think Tanks hopes everyone will stop by the store for a grand-opening celebration from 5 to 6 p.m. May 1, with a visit from the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Party Bar. Afterward, the celebration will head east to Ds’ Tavern on Littleton Boulevard.

“We want to give the community a chance to check us out, and the city staff a chance to see what they’ve worked so hard to help me get,” Sager said.

City Park Jazz heads into its 29th season with a great lineup of free Sunday concerts in the park. Spanning 10 weeks across June, July and August, the collection of local musicians in this year’s lineup crosses cultures, styles and genres in a way that reflects the musical and cultural diversity of Denver.

“We’re really excited about this year’s slate of amazing performers,” said Bob Nelson, president of the nonprofit City Park Jazz Board of Directors. “We open with longtime Denver favorite Selina Albright, we have a very funky newcomer to our stage in The Messers and we’re closing out with the Sammy Mayfield Revue. We’ve got a great, eclectic and culturally diverse mix of bands sprinkled in between.”

The season runs every Sunday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. starting June 7. The free concerts are staged at the bandshell in City Park.

Englewood jazz night to help band program Parker School district has kept commitment to creativity

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood Band Boosters plan a program to raise money for the band program — and it promises an evening of good listening plus a pasta dinner. The event, the Second Annual Jazz Night, will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. April 30 at The Englewood Campus, 3800 S. Logan St., Englewood.

There will be memorabilia for sale, such as a 1990-2014 era uniform and a silent auction with other items for bidding.

Featured musicians will be: Englewood High School Jazz 1 and Jazz 2, Englewood Middle School Jazz, and the Tyson Haynes Quartet in a guest performance.

At a time when many schools are cutting music programs, Englewood is demonstrating commitment by expanding the music program. Englewood offers marching band, jazz band, concert band, orchestra and percussion.

The expansion is made possible by the commitment of the school district, partnerships with educational organizations and fundraising efforts such as this one. Monies raised support music at middle and high school levels.

Haynes is a saxophonist who teaches in Denver Public Schools. His quartet will bring professional performance into the evening’s entertainment — and should inspire the young musicians.

A news release says Brian Ewert, Englewood superintendent, is also on the program for “a special appearance.”

For questions, contact Heather Hunt, heather27huny@gmail.com (allow 24 hours for response) Tickets come in various packages and prices.

craft beer and wine.

With a fire pit and expansive patio, the location will be a place for patrons to gather, relax and mingle after work or on weekend afternoons. Ella Bliss is founded on the idea that pampering should be an “affordable luxury” and available under one roof - so the busy mom or working professional can pop in, spruce up, enjoy a cocktail and socialize with friends without blowing the budget or driving all over town for various services.

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Bestselling writer Andrew Gross has chosen to send his globe-trotting troubleshooter Ty Hauck to Colorado for his latest adventure.

And Gross will appear at IF Y OU GO Tattered Cover’s new location in Aspen Grove to talk with Author Andrew Gross will appear readers about his latest thrillat the Tattered Cover in Aspen er, “One Mile Under,” at 7 p.m.

Colorado is the setting for area and in Weld County and the Wattenberg oil field ter“One Mile Under.” ritory in the high, dry plains.

Descriptions of the surroundings show some homework — as does his integration of the techniques and divisive opinions on fracking into this tale.

As a skilled storyteller, he can absorb the looks and politics of his surroundings, then plant the characters he invents and send them into action.

We initially meet expert whitewater rafting guide Dani Whalen as she discover the body of a friend, Trey Watkins, along the edge of the Roaring Fork River. She knows that as an experienced rafter and new father, he wouldn’t have crashed in this location — and furthermore, he would not have been on the river without a helmet.

Then a balloon crash, a seeming mishap, occurs, and Dani links the two events, which are quickly ruled “accidents” by the local sheriff — and Dani’s ex-stepfather.

As she keeps questioning, she is arrested and jailed and her father — out of the country on business — calls on his old friend Ty Hauck to rescue her.

“Uncle” Ty Hauck flies in to assist her and the action moves to a mythical high plains town called Templeton, devastated by drought and saddened that the farming Watkins family has lost a son.

The plot thickens with the appearance here and in nearby Greeley of ex-military heavies, hired by a rogue oil company to keep their operation running without obstacles. And, there’s a crusading female lawyer.

The action turns wild soon after the funeral and Gross goes into “page-turner” mode with brutal action and hair-raising escapes — the master storyteller at work.

Personalities are descriptively presented — although most are obviously “white hat” or “black hat.”

The final chapters are the kind that keep a reader up late …

Bruins win own invitational Cherry Creek outscores seven teams at swim and diving meet

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Bruin swimmers posted first-place wins in four individual events and in two relays and had teammates score points in other events as they outpointed the seven teams in the team standings at the April 18 Cherry Creek

Invitational Swimming and Diving meet.

“Our team strength is depth with a lot of talent,” Bruins Coach Chris Loftis said before the finals started. “We are a young team with a lot of underclassmen who are contributing now and we expect to contribute in the future. We are looking at this as a year that we will be building for the future. We have been second for eight years and we are looking to change that.

There were almost 200 athletes from eight teams at the competition. The preliminary competitions were held April 17 to determine seeding for the April 18 finals. On

April 18 there were A, B and C finals in most individual swimming events. Cherry Creek amassed points by having athletes place high enough to earn team points, helping the Bruins amass 1.163 points to take top honors in team standings, ahead of runner-up Highlands Ranch that finished with 963 points.

The A heat was the championship finals.

Cherry Creek’s Sam Coffman took first in both the 100- and the 200-meter freestyle while teammates Jake Watkins won the 100 breaststroke and Hunter Fuqua won the 50 freestyle.

Bruin teams also won the championship

heats in the 200-meter freestyle relay and the 400-meter freestyle relay events.

Coffman said he played some baseball and some football, but as a freshman he decided swimming was his sport.

“I liked the team aspect of swimming the best,” he said. “Also, I guess I have always been a fish at heart.”

Swimming and diving teams are in the home stretch of the season. Cherry Creek’s next big meet will be the Centennial League Championships on May 8 and 9 with the Class 5A state meet scheduled May 5 and 6 at the Air Force Academy pool.

Englewood snaps the streak Girls soccer team shines in battle of the Pirates

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com It was a sure thing that a Pirate team would win April 14 as the Englewood Pirates ended a three-game losing streak on by outscoring the Alameda Pirates 4-0 in the April 14 league girls soccer action.

“This was a good win for us and it was a win we needed,” Englewood coach Chris Kavinsky said. “This win helps get the girls excited, helps raise morale and gets us focused on closing out the regular season and hopefully looking ahead to the playoffs.”

With only three seniors on the team, Englewood is slowly coming together as the players gain experience, he said. The Pirates are overall a good team with the talented players it takes to win, he said.

Key moments: Alameda pushed the attack very early in the game. But Englewood turned it away and then took control of the action.

They scored a goal in the first eight minutes

Roundup Continued from Page 16

Girls Tennis Regional Sites: Littleton, Englewood - Littleton and Englewood will participate in Class 4A Region 2 play at Kent Denver on April 29 and April 30.

Cherry Creek 7, Eaglecrest 0 The Bruins won their 10th-straight contest, seventh in league play, by taking all seven matches over Eaglecrest on April 15. Emily Zislis won 2 Singles in three sets with a 6-2,2-6,13-11 hard-fought win.

of the game then added two more to build a 3-0 halftime lead. Englewood’s control of play stretched into the second half.

Key players/statistics: Three players scored the four goals for Englewood. Sophomore Jena Korinek scored two goals and had an assist while teammates Karin Bader and Courtney Schauer scored one goal and one assist. Senior defender Julia Kline had one assist. The offense controlling the ball and the defense turning things back made it a quiet night for goalie Ty Lucas who only touched the ball twice in the second half. The April 14 win raised Englewood’s overall record to 3-7 and their league record to 2-1.

They said it: Schauer felt good about the goal she scored.

“I was really upset by missing a penalty shot in last night’s game, which made me go out and work even harder tonight,” Schauer said. “I have always played center midfield, and I think I contribute to my team by facilitating the field by getting the ball from the defense and decided where we should focus the attack.”

Going forward: Englewood closes out regular season play on April 28 with a road game against Vista Peak.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 20, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t be put off by a seemingly too-tangled situation. Sometimes a simple procedure will unsnarl all the knots and get you in the clear fast and easy, just the way the Lamb likes it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time to go through your work space -- wherever it is -- and see what needs to be replaced and what can be tossed (or at least given away) without a second thought.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Someone who disagrees with your position might try to intimidate you.

But continue to present a fair argument, regardless of how petty someone else might be while trying to make a point.

crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might find yourself exceptionally sensitive to family matters this week. An issue could come to light that you had overlooked. Ask other kinfolk to discuss it with you.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might have more questions about a project (or perhaps someone you’re dealing with on some level) than you feel comfortable with. If so, see which can be answered, which cannot, and why.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good time to clean up and clear out what you don’t need before your tidy self is overwhelmed by “stuff.” Then go celebrate the Virgo victory over clutter with someone special.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel a mite confused about why something you were sure couldn’t go wrong didn’t go all right either. Be patient.

Things soon move into balance, exactly as you like it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) At this decision point, you could be moving from side to side, just to say you’re in motion. Or you could be considering making a move straight up. What you choose is up to you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Although your finances should be in an improved situation at this time, thrift is still the savvy Sagittarian’s smart move. Advice from a spouse or partner could be worth heeding.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Taking on a new challenge brings out the Goat’s skills in maneuvering over and around difficult spots. Best of all, the Goat does it one careful step after another. (Got the idea, Kid?) AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your wellknown patience might be wearing thin because of a disturbing (and seemingly unending) problem with someone close to you. This could be a time to ask for help. Good luck.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful about a new venture that lures you into a “just-look-and-see” mode. Be sure that what you’re being given to see isn’t hiding what you should be seeing instead.

“Trust Us!” Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Read your public notices and get involved!
