Parker Water to save $22M on bond debt Refinancing locks in lowest interest rate in 45 years By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The refinancing of bonds that paid for the construction of Rueter-Hess Reservoir will save the Parker Water and Sanitation District $22 million. The water provider’s longtime bond adviser, Joe Drew, said while officials closely monitored the market, it also took a bit of good fortune to lock in the lowest interest rate in the last 45 years.

The district began running the numbers in June and when Drew made his first presentation in August, the savings were estimated at $12 million. By the time the bonds were sold in mid-November, the savings was locked in at roughly $720,000 per year over the next 30 years. “I would like to say I’m the smartest guy in the world and knew when to pull trigger, but the bottom line is there is a certain amount of luck to it,” he said. “(The rates) just kept getting better.” Voters approved a $105 million general obligation bond in 2004 to pay for the first phase of construction on Rueter-Hess Reservoir. The district later used money from partnerships with Castle Rock, Castle Pines and a handful of smaller water entities to enlarge the reservoir to 72,000 acre-feet.

BOND DEBT REFINANCING, BY THE NUMBERS

Amount saved per year: $720,000

Approximate amount of reservoir debt left: $88M Interest rate reduction: from 5.20 percent to 3.51 percent Remaining bond debt life: 31 years Size of Rueter-Hess Reservoir: 72,000 acre-feet

Drew, who runs Drew Financial, LLC, in Lakewood, said the process is similar to refinancing a home mortgage. The interest rate went from 5.20 percent to 3.51 percent, resulting in a 12 percent reduction in annual bond payments on the Reuter Hess debt. Rates have since gone back up. Although there is a cost of issuance at the front end, the district, and therefore its

25,000 customers, will realize $22 million in savings on principal and interest payments on the remaining $88 million in debt. Because the bond market is a matter of supply and demand, the board’s decision in October positioned the offering ahead of Colorado bond offerings authorized in the November election, including millions of dollars in school bonds that had not yet reached the market. “The schools couldn’t get them ready fast enough,” Drew said. “The market was exclusive to us.” PWSD board member Merlin Klotz said when combined with a mid-2012 refinancing of a collection of other debts, the district will see savings of more than $1 million a year in debt service. Total debt service for 2013 is anticipated to be $14.2 million.

Parker family’s ‘They had Dylan’s story will be best interest in featured during radiothon Feb. 21 mind. They treated By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The excitement surrounding the arrival of Katie and Bryson Fish’s newborn quickly changed to confusion. They knew immediately that something wasn’t right. Dylan, their little bundle of joy, came out with a left leg that appeared to be severely broken. Doctors initially assured them that everything was fine, but a week after the delivery, the young Parker couple learned that their baby had a short femur and fibular hemimelia, a condition characterized by the absence of a fibula. Questions about Dylan’s future swirled through their mind. But as soon as the Fishes met Dr. Mark Erickson, an orthopedic surgeon at The Children’s Hospital in Aurora, many of their worries dissipated. He assured them that it was not something that would ruin Dylan’s life, regardless of the road the family decided to take. Erickson laid out the options, as well as the inherent pros and cons. The Fishes had two choices: years of painful leg-lengthening surgeries that may or may not work, or amputation.

people instead of just another patient.’ Katie Fish “Initially the thought of amputation was horrifying,” Katie Fish said. They conducted nine months of research and consulted with multiple doctors and surgeons in a bid to get the best possible outcome. It was made difficult by the fact that Dylan had a fully formed, functioning foot, which often is not the case with fibular hemimelia. Leg lengthening meant that Dylan would likely have to spend the first 10 years of his life in a wheelchair. “For us, it was: do we take away his childhood and have him in a wheelchair for years and years or do we do the amputation and let him enjoy his childhood?” Bryson Fish said. With all opinions recommending amputation, the couple made a tough decision.

Dylan Fish, right, plays cars with his older brother Kaden Fish, 4, Feb. 11 in their home in Parker. Dylan was born with fibular hemimelia and a congenital short femur. He had his left leg amputated below the knee and wears a prosthethic that allows him to run around and jump like any little boy.

Dylan Fish, 2, right, rolls up his pant leg to show the difference between his right leg and his prosthetic left leg. Photos by Courtney Kuhlen Now, just more than one year later, the Fishes have no regrets. Dylan underwent surgery in January 2012, received a miniature prosthetic leg in March and was running around at full toddler speed one month after that. “It does not slow him down whatsoever,” Katie Fish, 30, says with a laugh. Dylan is fond of showing visitors his jumping ability. He raises both legs off the ground and comes back down with a thud, to the delight of onlookers. Aside from a slight limp and his brother Kaden’s eloquent proclamation that Dylan wears a prosthetic, it’s virtually unnoticeable. As most children do, Dylan has grown like a weed. He is on his third prosthetic in 11 months and is due for another. His journey has been such a success that The Children’s

Hospital asked to use the family’s story for this year’s Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Radiothon Feb. 20-22. The Fishes have already recorded a spot to run on Alice 105.9 and will appear in studio live Feb. 21 to share their tale. Bryson Fish says he wants to talk about the winning formula, which is dominated by a “combination of fantastic doctors and the best technology.” He says the collaboration between the surgeons and prosthetists had everyone on the same page, and instilled confidence in their decisions. Dylan’s mom said the positive outlook and welcoming environment helped the family get through what could have been a more trying ordeal. “They had Dylan’s best interest in mind,” she said. “They treated Dylan and us as people instead of just another patient.”

There was no public opposition to Parker Town Council’s decision to adopt an emergency ordinance that bans marijuana clubs. The unanimous vote Feb. 4 follows council’s November approval of seven amendments to the Parker Municipal Code that banned pot-selling businesses and laid out specific ground rules for personal indoor cultivation. The town was among the first to opt out of the commercial side of Amendment 64, which passed by a 55 percent to 45 percent margin after a statewide vote. Personal protections afforded by the constitutional amendment, which allow for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for adults over 21, remain in place. The town defines a marijuana club as a “place of assembly that allows members and their guests, and any other persons to consume marijuana or marijuana products on the premises of a nonresidential property,” the ordinance says. Town Attorney Jim Maloney said the businesses typically sell food and nonalcoholic beverages and charge a cover for entry. He described pot clubs as one of the “nuanced” potential commercial uses of Amendment 64, and pointed out that similar operations had opened in Colorado. A private club in Del Norte, Colo., was shut down by the building’s landlord, hours after opening on Jan. 1. Club 64, a members-only Denver establishment that derived its name from the amendment, is still in operation. Councilmember Josh Martin said Douglas County residents have voted against both medical marijuana retail locations and Amendment 64. “Personally, I viewed the idea of the marijuana clubs as another potential backdoor attempt to bring this type of use to town,” he said. “This may be something we revisit when the governor’s task force brings back their recommendations later this year. In the meantime, to me, it made sense to close this gap until we see more of the legal fallout from Amendment 64.” Lone Tree’s city council is expected to consider its own emergency ordinance Feb. 19 to prohibit the clubs. No one from the public commented on the Parker ordinance, which passed on its first and final reading.

Solheim Cup captains visit cancer survivors Pepper, Mallon stop by breast center at Parker Adventist By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com The economic benefits that come with a major golf tournament in Parker are expected to be far-reaching. Social and emotional advantages can now be added to the list. Ever since the August 2009 announcement that Parker’s Colo-

rado Golf Club was selected to host the 2013 Solheim Cup, town leaders and local business owners have been preparing for the arrival of approximately 120,000 spectators. The Solheim Cup, scheduled for Aug. 13-18, pits the top professional ladies golfers from the United States against those who hail from Europe. The prestigious event, much like the PGA’s Ryder Cup, occurs only once every four years in the U.S., and the captain and assistant captain of the home team, LPGA legends Meg Mallon and Dottie Pepper, are making the most of it. They stopped by Parker Adventist Hospital’s Trio Breast Center on Feb. 6 to get a glimpse of the beneficiary of a fundraiser called “Sol-

heim After Sundown,” a gathering for golf fans that includes access to the three-day tournament, silent and live auctions, dinner and live entertainment. During their visit, Mallon and Pepper had the opportunity to meet with former patients who have been forever changed by the thoughtful and thorough treatment at the Trio Breast Center, as well as the doctors and nurses who provide prevention services and care. Pepper frequently dabbed at her eyes with a tissue as each survivor stood at the front of the room and told her story. Pepper said she was heartened by the personal touch shown by the Trio team and impressed that Parker Adventist has one section of the hospital that acts as a “security blanket” for those enduring breast cancer treatments. “You hear about it or read it in a tournament profile or you see the signage at the tournament, but it’s not very often that you actually get to go see what happens, and I think that’s the moving part,” Pepper said. Morre Dean, Parker Adventist’s president and chief executive officer, said the fundraiser, scheduled for Aug. 13, could generate as much as $100,000 to support programming and education, as well as provide mammograms for women who can’t afford the routine screenings.

The Solheim Cup, which comes to the Colorado Golf Club in August, is having a fundraiser that benefits the hospital’s Trio Breast Center. Photos by Chris Michlewicz diagnosis two months ago, elicited a fresh stream of tears from the small crowd as she recounted her journey. Her words reflected her refuse-to-give-up sense of determination. “When you have young kids, you can’t let it get you down,” she said. Power, a golf fan who plays regularly, confidently revealed her head, which has gone bald from cancer treatments, and joked about how manageable her hair has become. Power was among a line of women who talked about their steadfast allegiance to the

team that helped them overcome their illness. Pepper and Mallon stayed and joked around with the current and former patients, including Gigi McCleery, a bright-spirited Parker woman who helped inspire the guests. They also posed for photos with the crystal Solheim Cup, and shared an adorable photographic moment with a shy 5-year-old from Parker named Annika Edson.

Deputy suspected of sexting juvenile arrested Texts sent while off duty; suspect fired By Rhonda Moore

rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy suspected of sexting a juvenile was arrested after sheriff’s investigators received a tip. Robert M. French lost his job with the sheriff’s office by Feb. 11, within days of his arrest. He did not work as a school resource officer and was terminated for department policy violations and alleged criminal con-

duct, said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, public information officer. The investigation began early in the week of Feb. 3, when the sheriff’s office received a tip about inappropriate text messages inFrench volving a juvenile, Hanavan reported in a Feb. 9 news release. The investigation led to French, who allegedly sent the text messages while off duty, according to Hanavan. The sheriff’s office worked the case with

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the Rocky Mountain Computer Forensics Lab. By Feb. 8, French was taken into custody and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a child. French was booked at the Douglas County detention facility but was taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he remained on a courtesy hold until posting $50,000 bond, Hanavan said. Douglas County officials opted to send French to the Arapahoe County facility in the interest of security and personnel issues. “It’s a little less uncomfortable for all

employees that know (French),” Hanavan said. “And it’s a security issue because if you work in this building, you’re familiar with the building.” French was released following an internal affairs investigation that was conducted in tandem with the criminal investigation. “This is a very complex case. It is anticipated to be lengthy and there may be additional arrests,” Hanavan said in the initial press release. The case remains an active investigation and Douglas County District Court issued a motion to seal the case to limit pre-trial publicity.

Wheelchair rugby shakes the walls Teams clash in fast-paced action at tournament By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Wheelchair athletes filled the air with the sounds of their bone-jarring collisions Feb. 9 and 10 during the Mile High Mayhem Rugby Tournament at Englewood High School. The two-day tournament drew teams from Florida, California, Nevada and Arizona as well as two squads from the Craig Hospital-sponsored Denver Harlequins. On Feb. 9 Jason Regier, a Harlequin player, was taping his arms and hands in preparation for a game. “I was in Craig about 15 years ago when I saw my first wheelchair rugby tournament,” the Centennial resident said. “I really liked what I saw of the game. I guess I was hooked and a year later, I joined the team. I like the attitude for teammates and other players on and off the court and I like the game as part of my active lifestyle.” He said playing wheelchair rugby is part of making sure to live life to its fullest and a way to show that guys in wheelchairs can still play active, hard-hitting sports and can still travel. Regier has traveled extensively for tournaments and clinics and, most recently, traveling to London, where he was a member of the gold medal wheelchair rugby team at the 2012 Paralympics. He explained that the game is a four-onfour matchup on a basketball court. The object is to use the blocks of teammates in

order to break free of defenders and get at least two wheels across the end line to score a goal. The game is divided into eight-minute quarters. Breaking a rule sends the offender into the penalty box, giving the opposition a man-up advantage. Players set picks and screens on attack and defenders go in hard to try to keep the player with the ball away from the goal line. The ball can be carried but the ball carrier must dribble or pass the ball every 10 seconds. The team on offense has 40 seconds to score a goal or the ball goes over to the opponent so the action moves quickly so there are aggressive plays to stop the attack like high-impact collisions that are bone-jarring for the blocker and the blockee. The impact can flatten tires or even knock the wheelchairs over. In either case, support staff has one minute to right the chair or change the wheel. Players are in special wheelchairs customized to fit them and are 4- to 6-inches lower than a regular chair. The rugby wheelchairs also have a metal bumper-style system on the front and, to increase speed, the wheels are cambered at a greater angle. Wheels are solid metal instead of being made of spokes and are mounted on a quick-release system to make them easy to change. On the court, spectators cheered their favorite teams and the metal-on-metal wheelchair collisions. It was a different atmosphere in the cafeteria Feb. 9 as the Craig Hospital-sponsored Denver Harlequins prepared for their game with the University of Arizona Wildcats. Harlequins veteran Adam Scaturro was taping his hands and arms for the game. “I’ve been playing for 14 years, I love the

Pair of candidates apply for school board vacancy School district accepting applications through Feb. 15 By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two Castle Rock women have applied for a vacant seat on the Douglas County School Board. The board will accept applications until Feb. 22. Joan Brown and Christine Strang submitted applications for the post vacated in January by Dan Gerken. Gerken’s District D includes the southeast portion of the county, and any potential board member must live within that area. The vacant term expires in November, so the person assigned to the seat will either serve an abbreviated term or run for reelection. The current board will interview the candidates and choose Gerken’s replacement.

School Board President John Carson did not directly respond when asked if the board is seeking a candidate who supports their education reform efforts. “We’re accepting applications from anyone who lives in that district who wants to apply,” he said. “That’s about the best I can say. It’s an open process. We are looking for a great pool of applicants. “I’m very optimistic we’ll have a great new board member sometime in March.” The position is unpaid and requires about a 20-hour commitment per month. Candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. Gerken, elected in 2009, cited family and work obligations in his resignation. For more information, visit the district’s website at www.dcsdk12.org or contact board secretary Nona Eichelberger at nona. eichelberger@dcsdk12.org

Parker resident Robert Schuler joined the Harlequins about four years go. “I really like the sport,” he said. “It is great exercise, it keeps me active and it is a great community of friends. The game also pushes me to get better because I want to improve my play to help my team win.”

Osteopathic school hires new leader Dr. Cheryl Lovell wants to expand curriculum By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Douglas County’s only university has brought in a new leader with fresh ideas for the future. With more than 30 years of experience in higher education, Dr. Cheryl Lovell brings a level of expertise that hasn’t been seen at Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine, a 20-acre campus on Chambers Road, just Lovell north of E-470. Lovell, who took over as university president Jan. 1, has worked in the past as a faculty member, academic administrator, researcher and postsecondary public policy expert. She expects those former positions to serve her well in her new role, which will require her to take on strategic thinking, planning and establishing relationships with the community organizations. Lovell says she is eager to further bolster Rocky Vista’s reputation as a medical school that churns out highly qualified practitioners. “It’s a very young institution, but a gifted institution at the same time,” she said. “We have a very specialized, highly trained faculty. We’re hoping to change the way medical education takes place in this country and I think we’re well-positioned to do that.”

Lovell will examine ways to broaden the curriculum by possibly adding more graduate programs in medical-related fields. Administrators have considered master’s programs for biomedical science and public health, which Lovell believes would be a natural fit at the 675-student school. Not only is there room to grow the curriculum, but Rocky Vista plans to expand physically. Three buildings will eventually be housed on the university’s 40 acres, which is smack dab in the middle of the so-called “medical mile” that stretches from Sky Ridge Medical Center to Parker Adventist Hospital. Lovell says she wants to “make sure that what we’re offering fits with the local community.” “Pharmaceutical companies and other medical industries might relocate here,” the first-time university president said. “They want to know if there is a good place for graduate-level education for their employees, so we want to grow with Parker and enhance what this area already has.” Rocky Vista students — who choose one of three “tracks” that focus on military medicine, rural wilderness medicine and global medicine — typically spend the first two years in a classroom setting before doing clinical rotations in their third and fourth years. They then receive their degree as a doctor of osteopathic medicine and go on to do a residency for the next 3-5 years. With a talented, forward-thinking faculty and the existing foundations, Lovell said the sky is the limit. “The ultimate goal is to provide citizens in the Rocky Mountain region and throughout the nation with highly trained physicians who care for each of us,” she said.

Democrats propose child-welfare reforms Training, reporting plan introduced to help prevent abuse By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and other Democratic state leaders on Feb. 6 announced a series of reforms to the state’s child welfare system, which are in part aimed at preventing child abuse before it happens. The proposals include the setup of a statewide child abuse reporting hotline, Report more training for child welfare caseworkers, and other efforts designed to protect children. “We want to make sure we keep our kids healthy and safe, and make sure we stabilize families,” Hickenlooper said at a Capitol press conference. The reforms, which have been dubbed “Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy 2.0,” is a follow-up effort to changes to the child welfare system that Hickenlooper announced about a year ago. The hotline streamlines the current reporting system, one where all 64 Colorado counties have their own child abuse hotlines. Hotline workers, along with child caseworkers, also will receive more training to help them investigate abuse cases.

Capitol

‘We may not be able to prevent every child death by abuse, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.’ state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson The plan also allows families involved in child welfare referrals, ones that may not rise to the level of abuse or neglect cases, to receive services and support aimed at preventing abuse. The govenor’s plan also calls for greater transparency, through the development of a website where the public can keep tabs on efforts taking place inside the child welfare system. And the plan calls for modern technology, such as the use of smart phones and tablets to help caseworkers with their workloads. Hickenlooper will seek funding for his proposals by asking the Legislature to set aside $22 million in next year’s budget. The governor also said that Colorado will receive $8 million in federal funds in each of the next five years, which will also go toward funding reforms. The governor was joined at the press conference by legislators who will be involved in drafting the bills. “We may not be able to prevent every child death by abuse, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try,” said state Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk.

C-470 Coalition steers toward tolls C Committee’s unanimous vote narrows expansion focus for highway

C-470 CORRIDOR COALITION STEERING COMMITTEE

Jack Hilbert, Chair, Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe, Arapahoe County Commissioner Don Rosier, Jefferson County Commissioner Jim Gunning, Lone Tree Mayor Cathy Noon, Centennial Mayor Jim Taylor, Littleton City Councilman Allen Dreher, Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Member

By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Like traffic at the end of rush hour, the future of C-470 appears to be clearing up. On Feb. 7, the C-470 Corridor Coalition Steering Committee — made up of representatives from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties as well as the Highlands Ranch Metro District and cities of Littleton, Lone Tree and Centennial — voted 7-0 to toll any new lanes along the 13-mile stretch between Interstate 25 and Kipling Street. The coalition has been studying different options to finance the addition of one or two lanes in each direction since 2011 and began a heavy dose of public outreach last summer. Other options included the implementation of sales or property tax increases within a to-be-determined taxing district as well as tolling all the lanes. “The public was divided on tolling (the new lanes) and sales tax,” said Roger Sherman, chief operating officer with consulting firm CRL Associates, in reference to a recent survey done by Hill Research Consultants. “What’s interesting is when you start to go head to head and weigh each potential funding option separately.”

existing lanes,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jack Hilbert, chair of the C-470 coalition, before adding that “property tax is a four-letter word in Douglas County.” When it came to the possibility of raising sales tax, steering committee members were not shy about voicing their concerns. There was also a consensus that there was not enough support to pass a sales tax once a district was drawn. “It becomes very difficult to say `let’s tax this group of people and not others,’” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning. “Lone Tree is really a retail hub. Many people come to shop there. I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary.” Another issue with sales tax, Hilbert

said, is that it would take an additional two to three years to get the expansion started, Sa something that could happen in early 2014.step “There are still questions that have tofollo be answered, issues that need to be dis-Sena cussed,” Hilbert said. “The next question Se is one or two lanes (in each direction) andcoup that has not been finalized yet. But I thinkto m it’s good that we can begin to move forwardbly’s now.” port The difference in cost is estimated to beRepu $230 million for one lane in each direction Th and $350 million for two lanes. The fees forfinal express lanes are expected to cost some- Th where between 30 and 40 cents per mile. conc Hilbert made it clear that once all thelimin analysis is done, any of the steering committee members may withdraw their support if the analysis does not support their decision. One of the concerns, as voiced recently by Highlands Ranch Metro District Board Member Nancy Smith, has been who would be responsible for paying for project if the tolls collected do not cover construction costs. Whether CDOT would help with those costs or not is unknown at this time, but CDOT Commissioner Edward Peterson suggested that he was hopeful the department would able to “provide substantial amounts of assistance” toward the project. The coalition will meet next March 7 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion, 9900 Ranch Road, to discuss the timeline for the process.

IREA to give capital credits to customers

The board of Intermountain Rural Electric Association voted to approve the retirement of $3.65 million worth of capital credit checks at its February board meeting. Board president Tim White said it was the sign of a financially healthy electric cooperative. Each year the board considers whether the financial condition of the association warrants the retirement of capital credits. In the years in which the association’s margin of revenue exceeds its capital needs in the coming year, capital credits are retired and customers are refunded a portion of the retirement based on their electric consumption. “I can’t tell you the number of customers I have heard from over the past few years who say that every little bit helps,” White said. “This payment to our customers will take us to more than $65 million in retired capital credits since 2000.” Customers with eight dollars or more in their capital credits account can expect to receive association checks in March.

Civil unions bill gains Senate approval Only one member of the GOP votes in favor of measure By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com

l two rted, Same-sex couples in Colorado are one 2014.step closer to the realization of civil unions ve tofollowing the passage of a bill in the state dis-Senate on Feb. 11. stion Senate Bill 11 — which would allow gay andcouples to enter into commitments similar hinkto marriage — passed the General Assemwardbly’s upper chamber with unanimous sup-

port from Democrats, but with only one to beRepublican voting to move the bill forward. ction There was no debate on the bill before es forfinal passage. ome- The Feb. 11 vote became a foregone e. conclusion after the Senate provided prel theliminary passage three days earlier, followcomsuptheir oiced strict who oject truc-

ing a session in which several lawmakers gave passionate — and often personal — speeches, both in support and opposition of civil unions. Sen. Pat Steadman, DDenver, an openly gay lawmaker and bill sponsor, gave an emotional Report speech on Feb. 8. “This is a moment that we have waited for,” said Steadman. “If two people are lucky enough to have found one another, why should the State of Colorado stand in their way?” Steadman’s longtime partner, Dave Misner, died of pancreatic cancer last year. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, choked back tears as she spoke in support of Steadman’s bill, referring to Misner’s death, as well as her brother’s struggles with coming out of the closet.

“This vote is for my brother Bill, and my friend Dave,” Newell said. Republicans unsuccessfully offered amendments to the bill, including one from Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs that would have exempted practically any person or entity that objected to civil unions from providing services for those couples. But Steadman said that such an amendment would fly in the face of non-discrimination laws. Steadman also implored those who hold strong religious beliefs, “Don’t let your free exercise run my life.” “Get thee to a nunnery,” he told those seeking religious exemptions to his bill. “Go live a monastic life. Colleagues, this is not Mt. Sinai. This is the Colorado Senate.” Republicans also failed in their attempts to put civil unions on the ballot, rather than leave the issue up to lawmakers. In 2006, Colorado voters rejected a referendum that sought benefits for same-sex partners that were similar to civil unions. “The overriding feeling that comes to mind for me.... disappointment,” said Sen.

Capitol

Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City. “I’m disappointed that the people of this great state cannot be trusted with a second chance at the ballot box.” Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango was the lone Republican to vote for the bill. “I believe this bill supports family values,” Roberts said. Roberts also said that it’s important to note that her gay Senate colleagues are about more than just fighting for gay-rights issues. “This issue is only one dimension of a homosexual person’s identity,” she said. “I prefer to look at them much more as multidimensional persons.” The bill now heads to the House of Representatives, where it died last year. This is the third consecutive year that legislators have taken up civil unions, but it is expected to pass the Democraticcontrolled House, and then be signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper this time around. “Well, third time’s a charm, isn’t it?” Steadman said.

Democratic gun package), but I know the people of Colorado support all of it.’ John Morse health issues. But Keene made it clear that he would not support any effort to hold gun makers and sellers liable for damages caused by assault weapons, saying that federal law shields those groups from any civil liability. Keene said that any attempt at that type of legislation would be nothing more than a “feel-good” measure. “You cannot sue them because someone uses their perfectly legal product and misuses it,” Keene said. Keene also told Colorado Community Media in a private conversation that the NRA is not concerned about the politics of the gun debate, in spite of some polling evidence that shows the public supporting at least some types of gun-control efforts, in the wake of recent mass shootings around the country. “We are not going to compromise the Second Amendment rights of our citizens to do things that don’t work,” he said. Morse, who announced his plans to pursue the Assault Weapon Responsibility Act during a Democratic-led press conference at the Capitol Feb. 5, said

he is still working on how his legislation will be crafted. The former police officer said he is aware of federal laws that protect the gun industry from liability and that, if it turns out he cannot target makers and sellers of military-type assault weapons, he could envision legislation intended to at least hold owners and possessors of assault weapons liable. Morse lamented the “amazing protection that the gun makers get,” but said he does hope the NRA is serious about finding common ground. “I don’t know if at the end of the day they are going to support any (part of the Democratic gun package), but I know the people of Colorado support all of it.” Keene also met with Gov. John Hickenlooper, who supports some Democratic gun control efforts, but has not yet endorsed Morse’s proposal. Hickenlooper did not address the media, but his office issued a statement after his meeting with Keene, saying that, “While we might not agree on a number of things, there will certainly be places where we can find common ground.”

candidacy for 2014 Former state Speaker to challenge Coffman for Congress By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Andrew Romanoff, former Speaker of the Colorado House, has announced he will run in 2014 against three-term U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman, R-Aurora. “You mean you’re not thinking about the 2014 election already?” joked Romanoff, who served in the state House from 2000-08 and as Speaker from 2005-08. The Democrat, who moved to Aurora at the beginning of the year, said he was declaring early because he hopes to meet as many people in the 6th Congressional District as possible in the next 21 months. “I ran for the state House four times and got elected four times by going out and meeting my neighbors and finding out what issues were important to them,” he said. “I figured if I start early enough I might be able to meet the majority of my three-quarter-million neighbors who live in this district.” The likelihood of Romanoff, 46, meeting more than 375,000 people in the next 21 months may not be a realistic one, but the former Speaker said he believes grassroots is still the way to go and “the best conversations are had by going door to door.” The son of a Democratic mother and Republican father was de-

feated in his most recent political bid by U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in the 2010 Democratic primary. He said he plans to focus on ways to improve education, strengthen the Romanoff economy and reduce the cost of health care if elected to Congress. “When I served in the state House I brought Republicans and Democrats together to solve some pretty tough problems. The approval rating is lower than it has ever been in Washington, D.C., and I think it was Sen. (John) McCain who said it best and that was that (those that approve of Congress is) `down to paid staff and blood relatives,’ and we can do better than that.” Coffman, who defeated Joe Miklosi in November, issued a statement last week. “We just had an election, and voters elected me to be their representative, not a full-time candidate,” Coffman said. “Right now, I’m focused on working across the aisle for policies to help Colorado’s working families and small business owners succeed.” Coffman, a 21-year military veteran, told Colorado Community Media in January that he intends to focus much of his efforts over the next two years on veterans issues. He also spoke in favor of an assault weapons ban, but wants to see it done at the state level, not the federal level.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

On C-470, toll lanes best way to go The group tasked with devising a plan to improve C-470 made the right call last week when it decided to pursue the construction of new lanes that would come with a toll. It’s not a solution everyone will embrace, but when looking at how to arrive at a more-motorist-friendly highway, the truth is, there is no perfect path. It’s going to take money. It’s going to take time. And while the work is being done, it’s going to be inconvenient. So why do anything? Clearly, the Denver metro area is growing and much of that growth is taking place near C-470, which snakes from I-25 to I-70. The population along the 27-mile corridor is expected, by some estimates, to swell by more than 30 percent over the next 20 years. Already, some stretches of the highway see more than 100,000 vehicles a day. During morning and afternoon rush hours, the road is plenty congested now. Throw in thousands of extra vehicles per day, and the future of the road as a preferred, or even viable, route doesn’t look bright. That’s not acceptable for a corridor that includes areas like northern Douglas County,

OUR VIEW which is quickly becoming a magnet for businesses to open and relocate. So when the C-470 Corridor Coalition took up the task of brainstorming improvements in 2011, it was an important step. The coalition’s decision-making committee is made up of representatives from Littleton, Centennial, Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch and from Douglas, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. The group’s focus, for now, is on the 13mile stretch from I-25 to Kipling, identified as the swath most in need of immediate assistance. After months of doing research, reaching out to communities and polling residents, the coalition was left with three logical choices: toll only new lanes, toll all lanes or try to raise taxes (sales or property). To be sure, the Feb. 7 decision to move

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Will no mail on Saturday impact you? We went to several locations in Englewood and Littleton to hear how people felt about

the U.S. Postal Service’s decision to cease Saturday mail delivery starting in August.

“Honestly, if it helps the government save some money, I guess I’m for it. We do get checks and other items in the mail on Saturday and I mail out items on Saturday but, if it helps the government, it’s fine with me.” — Brian Hart, south Denver

“I haven’t given it a lot of thought but I think it is a shame they’ll stop Saturday delivery. Right now, Saturday delivery has slowed down. But that governmental agency needs to do something to save money because a lot of money is being wasted.” — Keith Carson, Englewood

“I think any way the Postal Service can avoid bankruptcy should be considered. Stopping Saturday delivery won’t have a big impact on me personally because getting mail five days a week is fine.” — Jude Thomas, Littleton

“I’m not sure how I feel about the decision. It won’t have a big impact on me personally. I don’t get a lot of mail on Saturday but I will miss it when it doesn’t come.” — Maria Powell, Englewood

forward on the plan for a minimum of one new express toll lane in each direction was neither hasty, nor uninformed. Tolling all lanes was the least-popular option in public polling and was rightfully dismissed. An all-toll highway might have backfired by keeping too many motorists away and costing municipalities more headache, gridlock and construction costs through the wearing down of local arterial roads. A property-tax increase surely would have been voted down, but there was some support in citizen polls for a sales-tax hike. We agree, however, with local officials who said such a measure could be unfair to communities located in the new taxing district. “I think we see it as a competitive issue having a retail tax here that we (wouldn’t) have in other locations, just outside the boundary,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, whose city is home to the popular Park Meadows mall. Imposing a toll only on new lanes makes the most sense, and as it would not require an election like the taxing options, would be the quickest to implement. It’s

Being down can lead to looking up One of the most popular activities I get to do with my team at work or with groups that I am involved with happens on Fridays. I typically send an encouraging email filled with positive updates, recognition of achievement, and gratitude for the effort put forth by everyone. And then I ask for feedback, I ask for the best news of the week or most positive or productive good news that they can share. Everyone responds and shares a moment or experience that truly made the week positive. The interesting thing is this: People may have been having a very tough week but they always find something positive to share. Life may have presented some significant challenges personally and/or professionally, but somehow they dig in and look for something good to share with the team or group. So imagine your own life right now, and imagine for a moment it is Friday and I have asked you for the best news of the week. What would your answer be? Now I have done this for several years and with many people. The majority of people can come up with something meaningful and positive in a fairly short amount of time. But those who are having a tough week find themselves going deeper. And I have to share with you that the responses that come from someone who has been struggling are usually more positive than the replies that come from people who have been having a relatively good week. Here is something else I have noticed. People now expect the question, and so

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Guns in schools a bad idea

As we struggle for answers to the Newtown shooting and gird for a new round of Sane People vs. the NRA over gun control, it was disturbing to read of more local gun madness. In the Jan. 17 paper, I read of the Douglas County School District considering armed marshals in our schools, while our local state Sen. Ted Harvey introduced a bill to allow those with concealed weapons permits to bring their deadly toys onto school grounds. While Harvey’s bill has failed in the Legislature, the very idea that we’d heed the lunatic words of the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre and populate our schools with “good guys with guns” is beyond the pale. I for one don’t want my fifth-grader attending school where random people with concealed weapons and/or an armed mall cop

are strutting their hardware. Statistically, we know that guns held in self-defense in the hands of the un- or lightly trained are more likely to harm innocents (or themselves) than attackers. And when the cops finally show up, will they mistake the guard for one of the bad guys? Like most Americans at this point in history, I have no idea what really prompts these terrible acts or what would be most effective at stopping or reducing them. But common sense suggests adding fuel to the fire in the form of more guns is a terrible idea. In a country bristling with half of all the guns on Earth, reducing that number would seem to be the logical first order of business. Alex Miller Highlands Ranch

also the most fair: It would be a motorist’s decision to use the new lanes and thus pay the fee. We venture to guess many would pony up to zip along at a quicker, lessencumbered pace. As mentioned, the plan, which carries a tentative price tag between $230 million and $350 million, isn’t perfect. The coalition acknowledges there may be a need to find additional funding sources if revenue from the toll lanes doesn’t fully pay for the project. It’s not an insignificant risk, but it is one worth taking, given the potential reward. The group plans to take some time to refine the conceptual design and cost estimates and there are environmental, traffic and revenue studies that must be done before anything is final. Even if everything goes as planned, it could be up to two years before construction begins. And that doesn’t cover the second-phase, from Kipling to I-70, which a different set of officials will get to work on shortly. So while we’re not there yet, at least we’re not stuck in rush-hour traffic, wishing for a magical way out.

Accountability for burdens on small business Small business in Colorado saw a small victory last week in the advancement of my Senate Bill 30, which passed out of the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on a unanimous 5-0 vote. The bill adds an additional level of legislative review for new rules and regulations promulgated by state agencies. Business compliance costs for state agency rules and regulations are a major impediment to business expansion and job creation. The U.S. Small Business Administration in 2010 estimated that federal rules add $1.75 trillion annually to business operating costs — and that does not count the costs of state-imposed rules. By law, new rules published each year to implement the laws enacted by the legislature are only temporary — they expire on May 15 unless approved by lawmakers

through the annual omnibus rule review bill. The problem is that over the years, the rule review bill has become a virtual rubber stamp and only rarely is any agency rule given the careful scrutiny it deserves. My bill adds two new requirements to the annual rule review process. First, when a rulemaking agency does a cost-benefit analysis on a proposed rule, it must be published on the agency’s website.

Second, the past sponsors of the original legislation that gave rise to the regulation will be notified of the new rule along with all the members of the legislative committee that has oversight jurisdiction over the agency. The bill is a small but important step toward more meaningful oversight of agency rulemaking. If there is a serious concern about the impact of a new rule on small business or a particular industry sector, a member of the committee of reference — for example, the Business, Labor and Technology Committee or the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee — can ask for a hearing on the agency rule. If the arguments are persuasive enough, the rule can be blocked by amendment to the rule review bill. That possibility is not guaranteed but is at least enhanced by these added notifica-

tions. A deeper problem is the weakness in current statutes of the requirement that agencies perform a cost-benefit analysis of proposed rules. A 2003 law mandating such analysis, SB03-121, has a huge loophole that has allowed 98 percent of the new rules promulgated since 2004 to escape any cost-benefit analysis. Of the 486 new rules issued in 2011, only eight had a cost-benefit analysis performed. There is much work still to be done. We must continue to work for greater accountability and transparency in agency rulemaking and more thorough review of rulemaking that adversely affects employers. Feel free to contact me at my office, at 303-866-4869. State Sen. Mark Scheffel represents District 4, which includes Parker, Castle Rock and southern Douglas County.

Military service as a path to citizenship My comb and I parted company Recently, I introduced the H.R. 435, Military Enlistment Opportunity Act. This legislation seeks to expand military enlistment opportunities and create a system that mutually benefits the armed services and individuals with temporary immigration status. Under my bill, individuals who have resided legally in the United States continuously for at least two years as well as the Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals would be permitted to sign up for military service alongside American citizens and lawful permanent residents. The DACA program was recently created by the Department of Homeland Security to give employment authorization to certain young people who came to the United States illegally as children. This legislation provides a common-sense solution to help solve two nationally important issues. First, the bill provides a new group of willing, capable and skilled applicants to serve in the military. Second, it creates an opportunity for individuals with conditional immigration status to naturalize through military service, giving them permanent status subject to the same rights and obligations as natural-born citizens. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, one of my goals for this legislation is to help the military ensure our national security goals are met by enhancing the available pool of qualified individuals. The military currently requires that recruits be American citizens or lawful permanent residents. However, we have a regrettable situation today where a

majority of native-born Americans can’t meet the standards for military service because of some disqualification: they are overweight, have a criminal record, a history of drug or alcohol abuse, don’t have a high school diploma, or they can’t get a passing score on the entrance exam. A 2009 study conducted by a group of retired military leaders entitled “Ready, Willing and Unable to Serve” concluded that 75 percent of young adults between the ages of 17 and 24 do not qualify for military service. Additionally, there is a need to expand the pool of those eligible to serve because of the increasingly advanced technical requirements of the U.S. military. Rapidly growing areas like cyber warfare and ongoing analysts needs require the skills that foreign students studying in the United States can bring to the military. These visa holders bring abilities like critical language skills and advanced technical degrees that will increase the proficiency of our military. My legislation will also provide a path for young people in the newly created DACA program to be naturalized through military service. It makes sense that these individuals, who have the desire and ability to serve in the U.S. military, should be given the opportunity to do so. There have been over 154,000 young people who have been

accepted under the DACA program, and these patriotic individuals should have the chance to honorably serve their country and become naturalized citizens. Current law states that any individual who legally enlists and serves in the military for one year is naturalized. During wartime the naturalization is immediate. My bill would extend this benefit to DACA individuals. All enlistees, upon joining the military, incur an eight-year service obligation. Naturalization only becomes final and irrevocable after five years of honorable service. Therefore, it is important to highlight that the grant of immediate naturalization is subject to rescission if the individual does not complete the service requirements or is discharged under less-than-honorable circumstances. Although there will be a larger debate this year about immigration and the necessary changes that must occur to ensure that our legal immigration system is effective, the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act is smart legislation that takes a small but positive step forward by allowing certain individuals to serve our country in the military and earn U.S. citizenship. Moreover, this bill will aid our military by providing a larger number of skilled recruits to ensure our national defense capabilities are not diminished by a shrinking recruiting base. It should be an easy decision for my colleagues in Congress on the left and the right to support the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act. I am hopeful we can solve these problems together. U.S. Rep.

I don’t own a comb. I stopped combing my hair about 20 years ago. What a relief. I never have to worry about my part. I’d like to see more men without parts. You all look like high school math teachers. I know some high school math teachers who have stopped parting their hair, because they didn’t want to look like high school math teachers. Most of the men I see with parted hair are over 40. My father was parting his wisps until he was in his mid-80s when I told him to stop. He had about 19 hairs at that time, and I think he thought they all were working overtime to give him a head of hair. He used a blow dryer. He put some spray on his hair to keep it down. It looked like hell. He was determined to exit with a head of hair, but a total of 19 doesn’t qualify. I told him, I asked him, please stop. He did, and got his first short haircut since the 1920s. There comes a point when we no longer update our look. I see men, and women, in stores who look like 1978. And that’s frightening. As I have said before, the 1970s were the low point of the 20th century in just about everything. Fashion. Styles. Accessories. The 1980s were almost as bad. I had a friend with olive, shag carpeting. It gave me a headache. Men wore necklaces. Men wore chains. Men wore bracelets. Women wore shoulder pads. Women wore leg warmers. I had hair over my ears, and every morning I parted it. I can’t remember if my part was on the left or on the right. But it bothered me if the track of my part went off line. I had a comb in my pocket. I checked myself in the mirror. One day I went to see Alfred at the Hair-Porte and asked him to

cut it down. On the way to my car I tossed away my comb. I got a few stares at work, and that was about it. I donated my brown (brown!) hair dryer. Then I shaved off my mustache. With long, parted hair and a mustache I looked like an almond-colored appliances salesman. My mother was still getting her hair “done” into her 60s, and then we had a talk. She changed her hairstyle. There was less maintenance, and she thanked me. I guess people get very involved with their hair. I guess it makes a statement. I would rather know people who make statements, not hair that makes statements. I had a girlfriend who had mood hair. Most of the time she was somewhere between simply Martha and Sylvia Plath. She was either OK Martha with natural brown hair or not-OK Sylvia with magenta hair. It was dipped, tipped, crooked, or chopped. I picked her up after a hair appointment and she was in tears. Her hair wasn’t making the statement she wanted it to make. She had me pull over and she went to a stranger’s lawn, and stuck her head in a sprinkler. When I was much younger, hair was a big deal. “Give me a head with hair.” Now I would much rather have a friend with a full head of ideas and words and humor. Next: Why comb-overs scare children.

Cherry Valley Elementary proud of small size, sense of community By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Diane Meeks hoped for years to teach at Cherry Valley Elementary. Now that she’s there, she never wants to leave. “This is the last place I hope to be,” said Meeks, who teaches first and second grade at Douglas County’s smallest and most rural elementary school. “It’s really, really special.” The K-6 school on the plains of southeastern Douglas County has just 50 students, many of them from working ranches and a few the youngest among generations of families who have attended Cherry Valley. Five full-time staff members work there, with teachers each instructing two grade levels instead of one. “Teachers don’t work with (just) kids,” Principal Mark Harrell said. “Teachers work with families.” It’s small enough that the Valentine’s Day celebration Meeks is coordinating is an allinclusive event. Each student will draw the name of another, and make him or her a Valentine’s Day lunch. A sixth-grader may make lunch for a first-grader, or vice versa, but all will know well the student with whom they’re paired. “That warm, purposeful feel of community — that’s something we take great pride in,” Harrell said. “Everybody knows your name.” Not only your name, but those of your immediate family, and likely those of your grandparents, cousins and pets. Fifth-grader Charlie Anderson is the fourth generation of his family to either attend school or teach at Cherry Valley. His great-great-aunt Florence Anderson taught there from 1954 to 1986. His grandfather, father and older sister were students. “It’s a good little school,” said his father, rancher Harold Anderson. “It lined up with what I wanted for my children. Out here, you’ve got cattle across the fence from the playground. In an urban school, you’ve got a lot of sirens.” The school’s nine kindergartners are

It’s among three buildings now used for classes, one a modular that includes several classrooms and a computer lab filled with glossy, white Mac desktops and a cart that holds 18 iPads. Family support and volunteerism at the school is high, Harrell said. And in an area where the nearest grocery store is 30 minutes in either direction, the three buildings along Highway 83 serve as more than a school. “It is the social center for the community,” Harrell said. “Between the school, the

fire department and the church, it’s much like Little House on the Prairie.” The annual spring Roundup fundraiser drew about 300 people in 2012. When Cherry Valley held a Ride-Your-Horse-to-School day in May 2012, community response was so strong that horses outnumbered students. A large, wooden sign near the school’s front door is the school’s branding wall. Carved into its surface are brands from family ranches, including the school’s own “CVE.” It isn’t just Cherry Valley-area residents who treasure the school. Twenty percent of

its students come from outside the school’s boundaries, enrolled there by parents who like its small size, low teacher-to-student ratios and cozy atmosphere. Cherry Valley’s setting also is unduplicated elsewhere in the district. “We do have the most beautiful view of any Douglas County School,” Harrell said. “After it snows on a sunny morning, there’s no better view of Pikes Peak.” It’s a combination that appears to satisfy all, including Harrell. “Happy kids make for happy teachers (which) make for happy principals,” he said. “This is the greatest job there is.”

Rural school’s approach is down to earth Agricultural concepts will illustrate world-class curriculum

question, `What if we were an agricultural elementary school?’ “As teachers, it’s good practice to hook new learning onto something kids already know.” And most Cherry Valley kids know agriculture, either through direct experience or from their neighbors. Herrell asked parent Kristen Welch, previously the agriculture teacher at Douglas County High School, to act as project coordinator. The world-class curriculum is based on the Common Core Standards, a set of U.S. educational criteria introduced in 2010 to improve the quality of American education. DCSD’s curriculum is designed to surpass those standards. Cherry Valley plans to literally bring the education concepts to life with livestock. They’re starting with chickens, and recently ordered a flock. But the education began well in advance with students researching chicken varieties, debating the merits of each and choosing the breed that best suit-

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com At Cherry Valley Elementary, the Douglas County School District’s world-class curriculum is going country. The school’s teachers will use agricultural practices as the basis for teaching the concepts of a 21st-century education. District leaders urged all schools to consider their unique qualities and use those to help students learn the skills, aimed at preparing them for a global marketplace. That means teaching students concepts to keep pace with a rapidly changing world. “The discussion was, what do we do to really put us on the map,” Principal Mark Harrell said. “And I posed the

ed the school’s climate and geography. They’ll use science and math skills to help build the chicken coop and plan the feeding program, collaboration and critical thinking to determine the feasibility of the production and sale of eggs, and perhaps later, technology, communication and creativity in a marketing program. Given their approach, Harrell and Welch believe the process will feel natural. “They know some of this already,” Welch said, “so this is their time to shine.” “It’s really about project-based learning,” Harrell said, “projects that are pertinent, purposeful and authentic.” The program is just getting under way, but Harrell envisions it growing in every aspect. “My vision is that someday we auction a steer at the Cherry Valley Roundup,” he said. The Roundup is Cherry Valley’s annual spring fundraiser.

Benefits of schools’ credit rating debated Board cites taxpayer payoffs, others say students pay a price By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Douglas County School Board President John Carson defended the district’s financial reserves during the board’s Feb. 5 meeting, saying the fund ensures a credit rating that saves taxpayers money. “We as a board have set a 4 percent reserve,” he said. “Some people think that’s too high. I think in the economy and budget we’re in, with fluctuations in revenue, it’s the prudent thing to do. Not only prudent for the long-term planning and welfare of our district, but it obviously pays huge financial dividends back to the school district and taxpayers of Douglas County.” The comments stem from a recent bond refinancing that will save property owners about $3 a year for the next 17 years, and an assertion from a parent-led group that the fund balance is unnecessarily high. “The cost of what it’s taking away from the education system far exceeds the benefits,” said Susan Meek, vice president of Strong Schools Coalition. An underwriter praised the school board during its meeting for conservative financial policies that help feed an AA+ credit rating, one that ranks DCSD third among ool’sthe state’s 178 school districts. who “There were some impressive results denthere,” he told the board. Fitch Ratings reviewed the district’s fiupli-nancials for a recently completed bond refinancing that dropped the interest rate from ew of5 percent to 2.99 percent. That paired with said. here’s

another refinancing in late 2012 will save taxpayers about $5 million, he said. The county has about 110,000 taxable parcels, according to the assessor’s office, for an annual savings of about $3 on each Douglas County property. “It’s great to have low rates,” said Laura Mutton, president of Strong Schools. “But if you’re hoarding money in order to have a high bond rating and you’re only saving taxpayers $3 a year, there’s a tradeoff there. It doesn’t count for a lot at a time when you’re having serious budget cuts.” For the first time in five years, the district plans no cuts in the coming academic year. Last year, it met an $18 million shortfall with money found in over-budgeted line items, as well as cuts to central administration and the high schools. DCSD has an unrestricted fund balance of $86.7 million. The unrestricted funds are those limited for use by statutory requirements. Its unassigned fund balance — money the district has not earmarked for specific uses — is $18.1 million. Meek, former DCSD spokeswoman, said the district has maintained a high credit rating for many years and through large fluctuations in the general fund balance. DCSD has had an AA rating for several years running, and was assigned the AA+ in 2010. Spokeswoman Cinamon Watson said the district “takes every opportunity to do everything we can to be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars. We’re using it wisely, and producing a great product.” Meek and Mutton formed the now 600-member group to “inform, engage and positively impact the public schools in Douglas County,” according to Strong School’s website. They’ve criticized the district’s fund balance, budgeting and time the board spends in executive sessions.

Tom’s Urban 24 takes it up a notch

Former Rocky Mountain News editor Michael Madigan relaxes in his Arvada basement.

150 stories that shaped Colorado Former Rocky Mountain News editor shares history through eyes of newspaper By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Newspapers have long been known as the recorders of history. And as the Rocky Mountain News approached its 150th anniversary, former editor Michael Madigan was busy at work piecing together a project that highlighted 150 of the most memorable and historic front pages throughout the history of the paper -dating back to its first edition, which was created in a second-floor office above a saloon alongside Cherry Creek. His idea was to run one front page per day for the 150 days leading up to the Rocky’s anniversary date. Yet, only 103 ever ran - each tucked inside the back page with an accompanying story about why it was

chosen - before the Rocky itself became history, closing Feb. 23, 2009, two months to the day shy of its big birthday. Months after the paper closed, however, Madigan released the rest through the publishing of “Heroes, Villains, Dames & Disasters: 150 Years of Front-Page Stories from the Rocky Mountain News.” As the introduction of the book states, the project “as it was conceived was to be an anniversary reprise. Now it is an obituary.” From the assassinations of Lincoln, Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., to the completion of the Denver Pacific Railroad, the Broncos first Super Bowl and the Hayman Fire, the book captures the nation’s and state’s most monumental events. There’s the death of Billy the Kid, the opening of Red Rocks and the start of World War II. There’s surprises, historical anecdotes and things one may not have known or otherwise forgot. It is history the way Colorado’s pioneer newspaper reported it. Madigan will spend an evening, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 18, talking about the book

with the Highlands Ranch Historical Society at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch. The public is welcome and non-members are asked to give a suggested donation. The former editor will discuss why some of the stories were chosen, talk about the stylistic differences in how varying events were reported and share some of the surprises, such as why Lincoln’s assassination was on Page 2 as opposed to Page 1, yet still made the book. He will likely also talk some about the closing of the paper. “We always felt that there was a real local attachment to the newspaper, but that’s really been driven home in the years since the paper closed,” he said. Madigan, who also published “Historic Photos of Denver in the 50s, 60s, and 70s,” which tells the tale of urban renewal in the city, has his first novel due out in August. He will be signing copies of “150 Years” after the event and they will be for sale for $30. To RSVP for the event, please visit www.highlandsranchhistoricalsociety.org.

When Tom’s Urban 24, the 24-hour diner-ish eatery at 15th and Larimer, expands into other cities, chief concept officer Tom Ryan said the plan is to keep roughly 70 percent of the Denver menu, but reserve the other 30 percent to include local fare. Immediate growth plans include two more Tom’s restaurants with one likely to be in California, said Stacie Lange, executive vice president of public relations for Consumer Capital Partners, parent company of Tom’s Urban 24 and the giant Smashburger chain. Ryan and Lange invited Pat “Gabby Gourmet” Miller and I to a lunch tasting last week to sample dishes from the “Winter Menu” that recently debuted. We nibbled on 14 new delightful dishes that, frankly, have much improved the cuisine quality over my first experience at the restaurant right before it opened roughly 90 days ago. “The old 90-day rule is really true,” Ryan said about what he asserts is the typical amount of time it takes a restaurant to work out the kinks. “It’s like rewiring your house with the electricity on.” New menu items include pot pies with filet mignon or truffled lobster and shrimp; Stranahan’s whiskey barbecued ribs; open-faced Angus meatloaf platter; Urban super pho with egg, shrimp, chicken and duck confit; fried brussels sprouts with Asian vinaigrette; Tuscan kale and romaine chicken Caesar, and fried “Chickenlooper” with sweet corn pancakes served with syrup and butter. Some of the new dishes are on the dinner menu only, available from 4 to 10 p.m. daily. Others appear on the breakfast, lunch and late-night menu from 10 p.m. to 4 p.m. Egg dishes have been added to the dinner menu because of customer demand. In addition to expanding the Tom’s brand, Ryan said Consumer Capital Partners plans to reopen Tossa, the pizza and pasta place in Boulder that the company closed in December, somewhere in the Denver region, but wouldn’t specify. He said the concept needed to be refined.

Zonta Club hits big 1-0

We focus on helping families prepare their homes for sale. In addition to the full service marketing and professional representation, we provide our seller’s with complimentary staging, housecleaning, handyman services and much more depending on the client’s custom needs. Our goal is to take the stress out of the home selling process.

WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.

Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations. Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting. Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board. “We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.” Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year. “I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said. Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation. “If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,” he said. “Speaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.” In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment. “It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said. The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county. Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. “We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,” Carson said. Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Interests, a commercial real estate investment and development company.

Entries flood center for exhibit through March By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com When the Arvada Center’s curator, Collin Parson, put out a call to all interested Colorado artists for the first Art of the State show, he received 1,635 entries from 588 entrants — in all media. Even though he has 10,000 square feet of gallery space, in three parts, to work with (upstairs and on the first level), jurying them presented a challenge. Parson and Dean Sobel, director of the Clyfford Still Museum, finally managed to select 191 works by 160 emerging and established artists — still a very large number of works to try to view at one time. The exhibit runs until March 31. Included are a number of strong, interesting works — many by lesserknown artists. The general flavor is quite contemporary, although there are some traditional works. The art shows especially well in the handsome, well-lit, nicely arranged Main Gallery. Fine crafts are strong: There are a number of unusual fiber art creations and ceramics. Sara Ransford’s delicate soda-fired porcelain piece, “Bring on the Rain,” with its subtle colors and

IF YOU GO The Arvada Center is at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. “Art of the State” runs through March 31. The first-floor gallery closes at 7:30 p.m. on performance evenings, and all three galleries are open 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays; 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays; noon-5 p.m. Sundays.

Of much coarser texture, but also appealing, is Walter Barton’s sculpture, “Ursa Artos,” a life-sized bear, fashioned of wood and bark. One can almost hear it snarl. The Best of Show award was given to Scarlett Kanistanaux for her handsome stoneware sculpture, “Quiet Mind,” a head measuring 48x48x12. Beautifully crafted, it stands out with

its sleek lines, as well as its size. Theater attendees can find this one in the upstairs Theater Gallery at intermission, but in order to get even a halfway good look at this extensive exhibit, one should plan to arrive more than an hour before show time — or make a separate trip another day. Actually, I suspect two trips are needed to really absorb it all. After spending a Saturday afternoon roaming, I feel that I missed a lot.

The Grammy-nominated band DeVotchKa will headline Give Live, a benefit concert for the Bonfils Blood Center, beginning at 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at the Paramount Theatre. DeVotchKa, widely known for composing the score to the film “Little Miss Sunshine”, released its seventh album “Live With the Colorado Symphony” in November. “Throughout the Colorado community, Bonfils is most known for collecting blood donations from our generous blood donors,” said Jessica Maitland, vice president of marketing and community operations. “This new benefit concert will give us the platform to share another important way our community can help us save and enhance lives — through financial contributions.” Reserved and VIP tickets available at www.bonfils.org/benefitconcert. cfm.

Dinner, a show and Short

Comedian and actor Martin Short is the featured entertainer during the third annual Early Bird fundraiser, a benefit for the InnovAge Foundation, a nonprofit that channels community support and funding to enhance the independence and quality of

life for seniors. The early-evening event, from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Feb. 23 in the Seawell Grand Ballroom in the Denver Center of the Performing Arts, includes cocktails, dinner, auctions, music and Short’s comedy. Tickets are $500 for dinner, Short’s performance, a post-event reception and meet-and-greet with the comedian. Tickets for dinner and the show only are $250. And there’s a $100 ticket for the show only with general seating in the back of the ballroom. RSVP by Feb. 15 at www.myinnovage.org.

Generous DeGeneres

Talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres was so flattered by Denver’s Curtis Hotel — a Doubletree by Hilton’s “Couples We Love Celebrity-themed Valentine’s Day Getaway” promotion — that she called the hotel during her show on Thursday to reserve The Ellen & Portia package. The DeGeneres-themed package includes a CD of “Now, That’s What I Call Dance” for your own private dance party, a bath of Blondies, a bottle of California red wine and two blonde wigs — all to honor the talk show host and her wife Portia de Rossi. Connie, the unsuspecting Curtis Hotel desk clerk, answered the call while DeGeneres disguised her voice to try to reserve the room for Feb. 14-16. After a few funny moments,

DeGeneres finally came clean and identified herself. But she sweetened the deal by promising to send several goodies from the Ellen DeGeneres show shop, plus said she’d fly Connie to be an audience member of her show. You can see the segment at http://bit.ly/XNRM9i . Other “Couples We Love” packages are available at www.thecurtis.com.

Former Denver Post theater critic and my former colleague John Moore will be taking up a new act as director of “Always Patsy Cline,” for Ronni Gallup and Starkey Productions at the PACE Center in Parker in April. More information at http:// www.parkeronline.org/CivicAlerts. aspx?AID=996.

Parking problems

The LoDo District is finally addressing the 800-pound gorilla that lurks in the neighborhood: parking. The district wants to know how you get to LoDo and where you prefer to park. There’s an online survey you can fill out so that the LoDo District folks can “meet your needs by advocating for the best parking in town.” Penny Parker’s “Mile High Life” column gives insights into the best events, restaurants, businesses, parties and people throughout the metro area.

See New Mexico through artist’s eyes Traveling exhibit comes to Denver Art Museum By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “When I saw this landscape, it was mine,” Georgia O’Keeffe wrote about New Mexico’s distinctive landscape. Her first encounter was in 1917, en route back to Texas from a Colorado vacation, according to Barbara Buhler Lynes, co-curator of the new Denver Art Museum exhibit “Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land.” The former curator of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, which organized the traveling exhibit, writes in the show catalog that the artist wanted to return to this land that fascinated her and finally did so in 1929. Then, she connected with Mabel Dodge Luhan and her husband Tony, a member of Taos Pueblo, who introduced her to Native American dances, where she may have seen katsinam. “Kachina” is an Anglicized version of the word for those sacred figures, explained Thomas Smith, director of the Petrie Institute of Western American Art at the DAM. The painter returned to New Mexico every summer from her home in New York, where she lived with her husband, famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz. She painted and drew images of the land and its architecture and its cultures, colored

In 1934, she discovered Ghost Ranch “and found the spiritual home she had been seeking,” Lynes said. She purchased a home in 1940 and made it her permanent home three years after Stieglitz died in 1946. Smith said she constantly alternated between realistic and abstract images throughout her painting career. A series of three images of “the black place” illustrate the variety. The exhibit includes 53 O’Keeffe works. Among them are 15 rarely-exhibited images of different Hopi Katsina tihu — kachina dolls, as well as paintings of Hispanic and

IF YOU GO “Georgia O’Keeffe: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land” will be exhibited at the Denver Art Museum through April 28. It is included in general admission. There will be docent-led tours daily at 1 p.m. Visitors who want to explore the creative process can enjoy the Paint Studio, across from the gallery entrance. On weekends, local artists will demonstrate their skills. A series of Saturday studio classes are scheduled Feb. 23-March 16. denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000.

While investor-owned utilities return a portion of any profits back to their investors, electric cooperatives allocate excess revenue to members as “capital credits,” and retire–or pay–them when the co-op’s financial condition permits.

Hopi and Chippewa/Dakota Sioux. He adds a touch of humor with his “O’Keeffe, After Whistler,” a spin on the famous “Whistler’s Mother,” with O’Keeffe’s likeness installed in that iconic rocking chair. A short video, “Georgia O’Keeffe: a Difference in Art” is shown in this last gallery, with many segments in her voice. It offers a layer of biographical information that overlays the colorful paintings nicely. After sitting to absorb it, another stroll through the exhibit is recommended.

Students have designs on exhibit Students in Arapahoe Community College’s popular Interior Design and Architecture departments share their impressive portfolio work each year in an exhibit in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at ACC. Visitors can see the sorts of projects they must complete in domestic and commercial areas, and on boards or, in the case of architecture students, sometimes in three dimensions. One may find a design for the interior of an elaborate mountain home or for a trendy restaurant. The show runs from Feb. 18 to March 13, with an opening reception on Friday, Feb. 22. Admission is free. Hours: noon-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays (open until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays). The Colorado Gallery of the Arts is in the Annex building, first floor. 303-797-5649.

American chamber music slated

Englewood Arts’ next Chamber Music of the Masters series concert will be “Hammers, Sticks and Strings,” a unique performance of American music featuring piano, percussion and viola at 2 p.m. Feb. 16 in Hampden Hall, Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway.

The program includes Colson: “Quiet Pieces for Viola and Vibraphone”; Paulus: “Seven for the Flowers Near the River;” Bunch: “Suite for Viola and Piano”; Woehr: “Djembach for Viola and Djembe.” Tickets: $15/$12/$5, at the door a halfhour prior to starting time or online: englewoodarts.org.

Audubon seeks help with bird count

Each year the National Audubon Society participates with Cornell University’s Ornithology Laboratory in the national Great Backyard Bird Count. Dates this year: Feb. 15-18. Individuals and families set aside a period to record what they see and report numbers. This helps maintain figures on birds’ welfare and populations across the country. The local Audubon Nature Center at 9308 S. Wadsworth invites families to bring binoculars and participate at the center from 9 a.m.-noon on Feb. 16. Volunteers will teach what to look for in learning to identify and count and will talk about how to attract birds to your yard. Pre-registration is not required. Information: 303-973-9530.

s Phamaly’s `Foreigner’ funny, fascinating By Sonya Ellingboe

IF YOU GO

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Larry Shue’s comedy, “The Foreigner,” is perennially popular with good reason. Audiences will enjoy Phamaly’s production when it repeats for a weekend at the Arvada Center Feb. 22-24 because director Edie Weiss and her cast have developed a solid piece from this tale about a painfully shy young man who doesn’t want to talk with anyone at the fishing camp where he is a guest for a few days. His friend Froggy Le Seur (Michael Leopard), a demolition expert in town to work with the military base, brings his friend Charlie Baker (Jeremy Palmer), a proofreader who is exhausted over the care of his ill wife, to stay a few days with Froggy’s friend Betty Meeks ( Kathi Wood). She owns and operates a small southern Georgia fishing camp. At Charlie’s request, Froggy tells Betty that his friend is a “foreigner” and can’t understand or speak English. Betty’s response is to shout at him, but others just start talking about stuff he shouldn’t hear. Pretty, rich young guest Catherine Simms (Lyndsay Palmer) is upset at her pregnancy and her fiance David Marshall Lee (Trenton

“The Foreigner” plays Feb. 22-24 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Performanes: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets $29. 720898-7200, phamaly.org.

Her intellectually challenged brother Ellard (Daniel Traylor) cheerfully decides to help Charlie learn to speak and read English, which accounts for a number of funny

situations. Can you say “cha-yer,” or “fa-werk?” And we can’t help but reflect briefly on how we might handle ourselves in a similar situation — or how we may have behaved

in the past. Each individual has a different lens through which he or she sees Charlie. And last, but by no means least, is the nasty KKK member Owen Musser, well-played by Jaime Lewis. Scheming to condemn, and then take over Betty’s property, he of course is immediately rude and off-putting to Charlie and upset by Charlie’s gibberish about “Bees come down ….” A cheer goes up when Musser gets his comeuppance in a cleverly staged scene, as Charlie saves the day. Palmer’s truly clever, ongoing goofiness as Charlie is worth the price of a ticket alone, with his new buddy Ellard right there next to him all the way. These two Phamaly veterans have the comic timing down perfectly, coached by the versatile Edie Weiss, who is a stand-up comic as well as director and actor.

Signing Day: Stephon continues to honor fallen friend Ponderosa standout signs with Mines, remembers departed teammate By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com PARKER - Ponderosa linebacker Drew Stephon will be lobbying to wear a jersey with the number 21 when he starts playing football for the Colorado School of Mines. Stephon made it official that he will study and play football at Mines last Wednesday morning during National Signing Day ceremonies. “My goal was always to go to college and play football,” Stephon said. “As I got older, I knew football was soon going to come to an end so I wanted to pursue a good school and the School of Mines was my best option.” Stephon, who will likely play safety at Mines, hopes to wear jersey No. 21 for the Orediggers, the same number he wore at Ponderosa in honor of his best friend Logan Bauman. Bauman was killed Dec. 6, 2008 when he was hit by a car near his home in Parker. Stephon and another friend were with Bauman at the time of the accident. “He was the reason I have always wore 21,” said Stephon. “Before every game, I always wrote his initials on my left wrist and then his number on my right wrist. Before every game I would think about him a little bit. “He has always been an inspiration of mine, trying to make his family proud, like their second son.” Logan’s parents, Andrew and Karla Bauman, were at last Wednesday’s signing and have provided help for Stephon to attend football camps. The Baumans created the Logan Memorial Fund to help deserving students with the expense of attending Regis Jesuit High School. The other objective of the fund is the assist children ages 10 through 18 in youth athletic programs. “The whole thing with Logan’s Founda-

tion is to continue to give that gift that he (Logan) made every day and make a difference in someone’s life every day,” said Andrew Bauman. “Logan had actually taken the Regis entrance exam the morning of the accident,” continued Bauman. “So it all started with trying to figure out a way to help kids financially get to Regis. Right now we have two kids we help sponsor at Regis. And then we do a lot with Parker Hawks football. We do a lot with financial needs, sponsorships with Parker Hawks football and a number of things throughout the community.” The Logan Memorial Fund has helped Stephon. “We helped Drew and a couple other kids through the student athlete showcase program,” said Bauman. “This is just one small thing we can do for Drew or any of the other children we can impact on a daily basis. “It’s something where we follow Logan’s legacy on this journey that we’re on and think about what he would want us to do and to keep that impact that he had every day of his life.” Stephon’s mother, Renata, was the first person to acknowledge the Bauman’s support. “They took the tragedy of the accident and turned it around with everything they’ve done,” said Rengta. “They have been wonderful. They’ve been nothing but generous and very supportive.” The Baumans will be following Stephon when he begins his football career at Mines. “He wore 21 at Ponderosa, the same number that Logan wore,” Bauman said. “Ironically, the school he is going to, Colorado Mines, my roommate in college Bob Stitt is the head coach. I played football with him at Doane.” The following schools have submitted lists of athletes who signed letters of intent. Some of the lists include athletes who signed early in November as well as those who signed Wednesday on National Letter of Intent day.

Girls hoops: Lutheran rolls through Metro foes By Jim Benton

jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Lutheran, a Class 2A school, wrapped up the Metro League basketball title with wins last week over Manual and Colorado Academy. The Lions finished with a 9-0 record against Class 3A teams in the Metro League and has four remaining non-league games before heading into the Class 2A state playoffs. Jennifer Vigil scored 17 points and younger sister Kristen had 13 in the 63-39 win over Manual and the Lions, ranked second in the state’s Class 2A poll, drubbed Colorado Academy, 56-37, to earn the league title. “Winning the Metro League is something we are very proud of,” said Lutheran coach Mark Duitsman. “You look at the schools in this conference and you know that a league championship does not come around very often. Schools such as Holy Family, Faith Christian, Machebeuf, these are perennial powerhouses in girls basketball and for Lutheran to be on top of that list this season is quite an accomplishment by these girls. “There is humility about this group that

is very rare. They understand that all of this is a gift. Their talent, this team, the league title, even the chance to play this game, it is all a gift from God and these girls just want to make the most of the opportunity they have been blessed with. The accomplishment of winning the Metro League is something that we certainly celebrate, and it is something that can never be taken away from this team, but we also know that the we still have work to do.” The Lions faced Belleview Christian Tuesday and have games against Denver Christian, University and Byers to finish the regular season. “The girls on this team, they’ve experienced it all throughout their careers,” added Duitsman. “Buzzer-beaters to end your season, a consolidation, season-ending injuries, state runners-up last year, as well as state championships in volleyball. This is a mature group with excellent perspective on what high school sports are all about. “They’ve been through the highs and lows, and they’re at a point where they just don’t get caught up in all of it.” Duitsman emphasized the Lions will not relax. “Now that we’re through the 3A sched-

ule, we can focus on the remaining games and the 2A playoffs,” he said. “Like always, we’ll take it one game at a time. We’re going to get everyone’s best shot, and you can bet they’re going to get ours as well.” In the state rankings released Monday, Lutheran remained second but Highlands Ranch dropped from second to third in the Class 5A poll. Rock Canyon slipped to eighth but Chaparral moved up to sixth. In other action last week: ROCK CANYON - It was a tough week for the Jaguars as they lost to No. 8 Chaparral, 62-56, and fell to No. 2 Highlands Ranch. Lexy Thorderson scored 18 and 20 points to pace Rock Canyon in both games. CHAPARRAL - The Wolverines jumped to an 11-0 lead and held off Rock Canyon behind Katrina Bacovcin’s 18 points. Chaparral used a 27-11 second quarter to beat Douglas County, 77-41, as Katie Longwell led the way with 20 points. CASTLE VIEW - Jess McGovern scored 21 points to lead the Sabercats to a 65-41 victory over Legend and McGovern had 17 points in a 69-35 trouncing of Littleton as 11 of the 12 players who played scored for the victors. PONDEROSA - Kari Keough, the leading

scorer in the Continental League with a 16.5 scoring average, scored 21 points in the setback to Mountain Vista. Keough had 21 points and 14 rebounds in a 49-43 win over Legend. She hit six straight free throws to close out the scoring for the Lady Mustangs who outscored the Titans 17-7 in the fourth quarter.

VALOR CHRISTIAN - The Eagles posted their fifth straight win with a 65-29 conquest of Cheyenne Mountain as Valor Christian improved to 10-11.

The Golden Eagles, 7-0 in league play, entertained Castle View Tuesday and has remaining games at Chaparral, against Legend and at Highlands Ranch. “We’re just taking one game at a time, doing the things we do well and trying to get those Ws no matter what,” said senior guard Elijah Valdez.
