Police dogs get special training World-renowned handler visits Highlands Ranch By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Jimmy Vanhove has been involved with training attack dogs his entire life. After growing up watching his father ply the trade, the Frenchman has made a life for himself as one of the world’s most renowned trainers of police and military dogs. Vanhove, who moved to the United States just a little over two years ago, is the lead decoy trainer for i-K9 in Alabama
and travels the country working with police dogs. One look at his black and blue, scratched-up biceps and you know his is not the normal line of work. “I’ve been bitten lots,” he said. “For the dog, it’s just fun. It’s not like they want to hurt people. But once a dog bites, I want him to stay on the bite. I don’t want 20 bites. I want one bite in one place.” Vanhove wears a bite suit when training the dogs in order to not get bitten too badly, but he doesn’t seem to mind when the dogs get the best of him. His technique, which has won numerous European competitions, involves distracting the dog to the best of his ability, all while teaching the dog to stay on the bite. He spent three days this past week at Warriors Youth Sports in Highlands Ranch,
working with five members of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit, two from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office unit and one dog from Commerce City. “He is here for two purposes: One is to teach our people how to decoy properly and two is to problem-solve any problems we have with our dogs, to teach them to bite correctly,” said Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Todd Tucker. Tucker, who has been with the department for 10 years, formerly working in undercover narcotics, just started working in the K-9 Unit in January. His dog, Zoos, is one of five in Douglas County’s unit. Each of the dogs goes through a 15-week training process before being allowed in the field. Zoos just started that training.

Democrats on March 11 went five-forfive on their surviving pieces of gun-control legislation, including victories on a bill that places limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines and one that institutes universal background checks on all gun sales and transfers. But three of the bills passed the Senate without unified Democratic support — and Report those votes came after two other lawmakers killed their own controversial bills last week, before they were ever debated. The recent activity on all five gun bills spanned two days, beginning on March 8, following lengthy and often emotional debate that took place on the Senate floor. While Democrats by and large feel like they have struck a balance between respecting Second Amendment rights and trying to curb gun violence, at least one elected official wonders if her party may have overreached in its gun-control efforts. “I’m concerned that this may have woken up people,” Sen. Lois Tochtrop, a Thornton Democrat, told Colorado Community Media. Tochtrop voted against limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and requiring that all gun sales and transfers be subject to background checks. Tochtrop voted for the three other bills: One prohibiting domestic violence offenders from having access to guns; one

Victim support is crucial element of justice Advocates spread calm, help illuminate system By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com In a time of crisis, sometimes the best thing to have is a shoulder to cry on. Being that shoulder is just one of the many functions of a victim’s assistant, the people who respond to crime scenes alongside police. They are called, sometimes in the middle of the night, to provide whatever comfort and guidance they can. Whether it’s the scene of a homicide, sex assault or, most commonly, domestic violence, an assistant typically informs victims of their rights and directs them to a qualified counselor to deal with the emotions involved. Victim’s assistants in Douglas County work closely with the district attorney’s office to help victims navigate the court system. The majority of the time, though, it’s simply a matter of lending an ear. “We want to empower them and we sometimes go to court, but mostly we want them to be with people,” says Nancy Prokop, victim assistance coordinator for the Parker Police Department.
Patty Moschner, victim assistance coordinator for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, said removing the fear of what comes next is a critical part of her job. She offers information on how the criminal justice system works and what to expect to “take some of the anxiety away.” Other times, it’s dealing with the aftermath in ways that some might not think about: clean-up services in cases of violent death in the home, replacing door locks or windows after someone has broken in, helping to arrange funeral services, and learning how to receive notification of when a perpetrator will be getting out of jail. In dealing with those who have experienced violent crime or are family survivors in cases of violent and sudden death, victim’s assistants use their list of resources and direct them to physical or psychological therapy. “People really need help getting through the trauma of victimization because they never think it will be them,” Moschner says. “It’s horrifying what people do to other people.” Short-term crisis intervention is not exactly a science, because every crime has different circumstances. Over her 27-year career, Prokop has seen just about everything. She has helped, just to name a few,
Nancy Prokop, victim assistance coordinator for the Parker Police Department, says an average of 1,000 victims of crime are supported each year.

Young people get inside look Here’s an understatement for ya: I was a bad kid in school. Seriously. I was such a fixture in the principal’s office that the staff just assumed I came with the furniture. And the closest I ever came to the honor roll was when I stood next to a smart kid in the restroom. Doing productive stuff outside of class wasn’t exactly my thing. But as I got older I developed a great appreciation and respect for kids doing positive — and very cool — things that I didn’t have the stomach for back in the day. That’s exactly what members of Youth Leadership of Jefferson County are up to. The Lakewood-based organization allows youths the ability to interact with community leaders and institutions, in an effort to explore educational and career opportunities. YLJC participants visited the Capitol on March 6, and were recognized on the floor of the House of Representatives by Jefferson County lawmakers. “I just think this is a great way to plant the seeds for people to become our future community leaders,” said Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood. If you wonder whether the students felt intimidated by the legislative process, don’t. In fact, it was the opposite. Marcus Vesely, a student at D’Evelyn High School, said he was surprised at how loose the environment was on the House floor, with chatty lawmakers carrying on while legislative business was being attended to. “I’m not sure what to make of the whole lawmaking thing just yet,” he said. “It was a lot more informal that I thought it would
be.” Rep. Max Tyler, D-Golden, said there’s actually a method to lawmakers’ madness. “A lot of what you see when people are talking like that is how a lot of our work is done,” he said. And Pettersen said the banter and interaction that goes on in the Capitol is “not much different than high school.” Yeah, but with a lot more bullying going on, I’d imagine.
Something in the blare
I can still hear the horns honking. It’s been more than a week since testimony took place inside the Capitol on several gun-control bills. Yet, the horns are still maddeningly going off in my head like I’m a character in an Edgar Allan Poe story. In case you missed it, vehicles made circles around the Capitol on March while testimony was taking place under the Gold Dome, with drivers who opposed the gun bills blaring horns for hours on end. Poor Holly Brooks. She’s the owner of Denver’s Capitol Hill Books, located on the corner of Colfax Avenue and Grant Street, across the street from the Capitol. “It was unbearable,” Brooks said. “The cacophony ...” Brooks said the noise was non-stop,
starting from about 9 a.m., and was “just as fierce” as she was leaving the shop at 6:30 that night. “It completely ruined business,” she said. “We had a tourist come by and say, `Is it always like this?’ We almost closed early.” Colleen Priebe, the manager of Hotel Newhouse, 1470 Grant St., didn’t mind the noise as much as Brooks did. “I just look at it this way,” she said. “It’s democracy in action, regardless of who you agree with. Besides, we’ve been testing the fire alarm system, so there was more noise in here than was out there.” Kevin Park works at Five Star Cleaners at 1364 Grant St. The Korean-born Park spoke through broken English as he tried to put into words his dismay over the noise. “I’m not sure what they want to do,” he said. “If people don’t like the law, they should do it in the building. But to honk in front of the store ... I could not open the door.” Could’ve been worse, I suppose. They could’ve been firing guns.
Quote of the week
“Bring it on, I guess.” — Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, when asked about whether her recent vote in favor of moving a civil unions bill out of committee could lead to a primary challenge next year. Murray made headlines on March 1 when she became only the second Republican legislator to vote in favor of civil unions. Sen. Ellen Roberts of Durango was the other. Murray, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, gave an emotional, and often tear-filled, speech after a hearing on the bill.
March 15, 2013
“It’s not for me to judge others, but to leave that up to God,” she said. “While on Earth, Jesus asked us to love one another. In this spirit, I’ll be a yes vote on this bill.” Murray’s House district is a conservative one, to say the least. And it’s too soon to tell whether her vote will lead to another Republican running against Murray — who has a very conservative voting record. But, as a reporter with no dog in this fight, her emotional statement, which came late in the evening, at the end of a very long hearing, was worth waiting for.
Tweet of the week
“He did last year, and I’m still here.” — Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City. Ulibarri’s tweet was in response to a threat of political retribution made by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Executive Director Dudley Brown on March 4. Brown was testifying on a gun bill before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which Ulibarri sits on, when he was asked by the Commerce City Democrat whether his group had contributed to any members of the committee. Brown responded by saying, “Yes, senator. And we’re gonna give money to your opponents, too.” It’s not every day that you hear someone threaten a lawmaker in front of his face — especially in the middle of a public hearing. Depending on your view of politics, it either was political theater at its best — or at its worst. Vic Vela covers the Legislature for Colorado Community Media.

Not your parents’ cafeteria at Taste of DCSD Community invited to sample schools’ lunch menu By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Nutrition Services Director Brent Craig wants all of Douglas County to know the days when children hid undesired lunch
food in milk cartons are long gone. At least in the Douglas County School District. To prove it, he’s inviting the community to sample some of today’s lunch fare during the second annual Taste of DCSD. The free event is from 5 to 7 p.m. March 20 at Parker’s Legend High School. “Some people still think of school lunch as icky because 30 years ago, it was really bad,” Craig said. “We’re doing an open house so the community can see all the positive things we’re doing.” About a third of the dozens of vendors
that Nutrition Services works with will be represented. Those include Subway, Whole Foods, Red Bird Farms, Ready Foods, Schwan’s, Kellogg’s, Jennie-O and Chobani. “We do fresh fruits and vegetables every day,” said Craig, who helped revamp the independently operated Nutrition Services Department. “We want people to try our new beef patty, which is a clean-label beef. Our harvest bars will be there, so you can get a full salad. Ready Foods, a local company who makes all our sauces, will be there. It’s a great way to get a great meal.”
About 500 people attended the inaugural event in 2012. This year, Craig hopes for about 1,000. He already has about 300 RVSPs. Anyone is welcome to attend. “It’s a community event,” he said. “If they don’t have to have kids in the school and they just want to come and learn about school lunch, I’m fine with that. I enjoy working with the community. As people learn about us, they really embrace it.” RSVPs are desired, but not required, and can be made by email at: nutritionservices@dcsdk12.org.

Legislature gives OK to civil unions Hickenlooper expected to sign landmark bill By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com For gay couples in Colorado, the third time turned out to be the charm. Legislation that legalizes civil unions has now cleared the state General Assembly, following passage through the House of Representatives on March 12. The passage follows two unsuccessful attempts at getting the bill through prior legislative sessions. The measure now goes to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign it. “We are fulfilling a promise we made at the end of the last session, and we made to the people of Colorado, that we would get this done,” said House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver. “And now, it’s headed to the governor’s desk.” Senate Bill 11, which would allow gay couples to enter into commitments that are similar to marriage, passed the House on a 39-26 vote. Two Republicans voted for the bill: Reps. Carole Murray of Castle Rock and Cheri Gerou of Evergreen. “I’m a Republican and a conservative and I like this bill,” Gerou said from the House floor. “I know this is the right thing to do.” Murray and Gerou joined Sen. Ellen
A press conference that featured eight gay lawmakers of the Colorado General Assembly was held following the March 12 civil unions vote. Shown here are, from left to right, Rep. Joann Ginal, Fort Collins; Rep. Sue Schafer, Wheat Ridge; House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, Denver; and Sen. Angela Giron, Pueblo. Photo by Vic Vela Roberts of Durango as the only Republican lawmakers to vote for civil unions this legislative session. But the majority of Republicans had concerns with the bill. Chief among them was their belief that the legislation does not go far enough in allowing exemptions
for entities that have religious objections to civil unions. “I think it’s unfortunate that we didn’t provide that clarity in that law,” said Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker. Several Republicans, including Rep. Lori Saine of Dacono, argued that civil unions
are akin to gay marriage — something that Coloradans voted to ban in 2006. That same year, voters rejected a bill that would have put in place something similar to civil unions. “We won’t get to debate this again here, we will debate this in a court of law,” Saine cautioned. But Democrats believe that times have changed and that the public — and history — is firmly on their side on this issue. But they also said that more work needs to be done to achieve equality. “Changing the conversation in politics isn’t just about taking a vote,” said Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City. “It’s about talking with your neighbors and sitting down one-on-one and having people see your family and recognize that you deserve protection under the law.” With civil unions soon to be a reality, Democrats are hopeful that a forthcoming U.S. Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage bans will pave the way for Colorado to join other states that recognize same-sex marriages. Sen. Pat Steadman — who lost his longtime partner to cancer last year — said that getting civil unions through the Legislature marks a “joyous occasion,” but that “we’re not there yet.” “I don’t want anyone to think that we’ve reached the peak and climbed the summit of that mountain that challenges us in terms of full inclusion of equal participation in today’s society,” he said. “Civil unions are lesser and not equal and that really is not good enough.”

Canny crooks target Douglas County seniors ‘Grandparent Scam’ can net thousands for criminals By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com A scam that targets Douglas County seniors is using the bond between family members to cash in. It’s called the “Grandparent Scam” and it has resulted in the loss of thousands of dollars from seniors who can scarcely afford it. The ruse begins with a single phone call from a “grandchild” who sounds like he or she is in distress. Often, the caller claims to have gone to another country with friends and gotten into legal trouble. The caller will claim to need bail money wired immediately, but with one catch: Mom and dad cannot know. That’s how the perpetrators make sure they get the money before anyone catches on, because a quick phone call to a family member would reveal that the child never left town. And since the money is usually wired to a different country, it’s “difficult, if not impossible” to track down the suspects, said Ron Hanavan, spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office does not keep a specific tally on the number of “Grandparent Scam” victims in Douglas County, but seven incidents were listed in the department’s
TIPS TO AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM • Resist the pressure to act quickly. • Try to contact your grandchild or another family member to determine whether or not the call is legitimate. • Never wire money, especially overseas, based on a request made over the phone or in an email. • Be sure to have conversations with family members about scams. Source: FBI website crime reports between April 2012 and February 2013. Among the victims is Louise Board, an 86-year-old Highlands Ranch resident who was shocked by how much the suspect knew about her. The person identified himself by name, and the voice sounded exactly like her grandson. “Thanks to the Internet and social networking sites, a criminal can sometimes uncover personal information about their targets, which makes the impersonations more believable,” the FBI website says. It was a “nerve-wracking situation” and Board did everything she could to satisfy the request, including withdrawing $2,000 from a money market and using the $400 in her purse. The person pretending to be her grandson said it was important that the money be wired by 5 p.m. and classified as “immediate receivable.” “The money was gone the minute it left my hands,” she said. The perpetrator, emboldened by the ill-gotten windfall, then called back and
‘Thanks to the Internet and social networking sites, a criminal can sometimes uncover personal information about their targets, which makes the impersonations more believable.’ FBI website requested additional money for hospital bills for a friend. That’s where Board drew the line. When she didn’t receive the phone call that her grandson promised he would make upon being released from jail, she called her son. That was when she learned that the entire ordeal was a set-up. The officer who responded to Board’s fraud report said there was little hope for recovering the $2,400 and gave her the name of an attorney who is taking care of multiple cases. The cases are typically deactivated by police because of a lack of suspect information. While she felt terrible about being victimized by the scam, Board was nonetheless relieved to learn that her grandson was not in trouble after all. Even if the police are unable to catch the suspects, she believes they will eventually be dealt with.
Senior living center gets upgrade Project will add lounge, exercise, media room, private dining
BY THE NUMBERS Expansion: 3,000 square feet Cost: $700,000 Residents: 26 Opened: 1989
By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com At the Victorian House, it’s the people that matter most, not the bottom line. The nonprofit assisted living center on Victorian Drive near downtown Parker is in the midst of a $700,000 facelift. But the expansion is not meant to squeeze more residents in. It’s for a decidedly better purpose. “Most communities would be interested in adding rooms,” said Kristine Powers, public relations coordinator for Castle Country Assisted Living, which also operates two senior living centers in Castle Rock. “We’re a bit different in that we’re adding space for quality of life.” The project, now under way on the south side of the
Parker’s Victorian House is in the middle of a project to better residents’ lives, with work under way on the south side of the building. File photo building, is adding rooms for private dining, theater and media, meetings, crafts and exercise. Residents will also have access to a new sitting lounge with a juice bar, and a multipurpose room for activities like yoga and card games. The construction is expected to wrap up in late spring or early summer. However, it seems that the 26 residents are in no particular hurry for it to end. They have watched the
progress from their windows with great interest. In fact, the 3,000-square-foot expansion has turned into an activity all its own, said Barbara Dice, chief executive officer for Castle Country Assisted Living. Officials have had the plans on the books for quite some time, and as opposed to a massive fundraiser, the “company just saved up the money over the years,” Dice said. The 17,000-square-foot
Victorian House is already flush with amenities. It boasts a sunroom area, living room and an in-house beauty shop. The assisted living facility is also a short walk away from downtown merchants and the Parker Senior Center. The two-story addition will enable the residents to do just about anything their hearts desire. “This is a great group that’s always busy,” Powers said. “They’re really looking forward to it.” Woodley Architectural Group in Littleton is the architectural firm for the project, and Malibu Homes Colorado in Centennial is doing the construction. New carpeting will also be installed at the center, which has been open since 1989.
“My money is God’s money, and if that’s way they’re going to do it, they will be taken care of properly,” she said. Board, who does not watch much television, later learned that her son had heard about the prevalence of the scam. Hanavan says it’s vitally important that family members have conversations about fraud with senior relatives. The suspects take advantage of seniors, believing they are more trusting and willing to help a family member in need, Hanavan said. “These scams are believable. They tug at people’s hearts because they think it is their loved ones,” he said. “It’s just sad.” The sheriff’s office is constantly trying to keep up with the different types of schemes, which get more and more elaborate every year. The FBI’s website, www.fbi.gov, lists a slew of tips to avoid becoming a victim.
PARKER NEWS IN A HURRY Fire, smoke damage home
A fire caused heavy damage to a home in Parker North. South Metro Fire Rescue responded to a house fire just after 5 p.m. March 7 in the 11000 block of Brownstone Drive. Firefighters observed large flames on the back of the garage and smoke in the home. One occupant was home at the time of the fire and was able to evacuate safely. There were no injuries. Investigators were on scene to investigate the cause. South Metro reported heavy smoke damage to the interior of the house and significant fire damage to the garage.

Alleged driver’s trial delayed
Citing a desire to look into another possible suspect in the March 2012 burglary at Apex Jewelers, a defense request to delay Daniel Delgado’s trial until July was granted. Delgado’s trial was scheduled to begin March 11 at the Robert A. Christensen Justice Center in Castle Rock. Parker police have identified Delgado as the lookout during the crime in which $474,000 worth of jewels were stolen from a safe. Delgado’s attorneys say their client has nothing to do with the burglary and is the victim of overly aggressive prosecution.

The effort to increase government transparency began with a group of Florida newspapers that wanted to talk about open government. Their effort grew to a national scorecard in the form of the Sunshine Review, which each year ranks government agencies hat’s on their transparency practices. aken The effort is recognized in midMarch with Sunshine Week, showcaseleviing the effort about the public’s right heard to know what its government is doing, avan and why. memDouglas County was singled out with in the 2013 transparency report card as the first in Colorado to rank an Aniors, plus for website transparency. County illing officials supported the effort to meet avan the Sunshine Review Board’s 10-point transparency checklist, which grades ug at on the availability of information on their government websites.

“Transparency empowers citizens,” said Michael Barnhart, president of Sunshine Review. “Citizens are entitled to crucial information on how the public business is conducted and how public money is spent. Without this information, voters cannot hold government accountable. Without transparency accountability is impossible.” Among the items on the checklist are public budget information, usability of the site, information about elected and administration officials, posted ethics guidelines, audits, contracts, lobbyist information, public records and taxes. Colorado received an A-minus for 2013 while Douglas County was cited as one of the state’s two best examples of improvement in its transparency policies. As Colorado’s lead county to earn a top grade, it set the example for Adams County, which in 2012 followed through with ethics reforms and earned its first Sunny Award, accord-
ing to the 2013 sunshine transparency report card. “A responsibility of the board, on behalf of our citizens and taxpayers, is to see to it that Douglas County government is open and transparent,” said Commissioner Jill Repella, District 3. “We recognize that nothing is more critical to building a reputation for stability and credibility as stewards of pubic assets than public trust and — especially for government — informational and fiscal transparency is foundational to that achievement.” Sunshine Week is March 10-16.

How to file a Colorado records request Staff report Colorado law has placed powerful tools in the hands of citizens who want to know what is being done with their tax dollars and in their names: the Colorado Open Records Act and the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act. The ability to “CORA” for public records is commonly done by journalists, but the so-called “sunshine” laws can be used by anyone, and they empower people equally. While there are records that can remain sealed, and while copying costs and “reasonable fees” can be charged, the range of records covered by the law is broad. Filing a Colorado records request is straightforward. Determine the identity of the “custodian of records” for the information you are seeking, along with that person’s mailing address or email address. That is the person responsible for maintaining and keeping the records, or any person having
law is being cited, and describe the records that are being requested. Be reasonably specific in the description of the records, but also describe them broadly enough to make sure the request includes all records that could hold the information. Ask the recipient of the request for notification if he or she is not the records custodian, and for the identity of the person who has custody or control of the records. Ask for the records within three working days, although extenuating circumstances provide for up to seven days.

Cloverleaf popular with home-school families District aims to expand program to meet demand By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Little more than a year after the Douglas County School District took over the Cloverleaf Home Education program, the oneday-a-week classroom model is expanding. DCSD will either add another classroom in Castle Rock or a third location in Parker for the 2013-14 academic year. DCSD leases church space for its two existing Cloverleaf sites, in Castle Rock at Grace Chapel and in Lone Tree at Cornerstone Church. “We have a waiting list at our Castle Rock location,” said Pat McGraw, the district’s development and innovation officer. “We will probably be serving another 75 to 100 kids next year.” The program brings students who are educated by their parents at home four days a week into a classroom with other home-schooled students one day each week. There, students get a more traditional classroom experience, with instruction in all subjects, joint projects and socialization. “My kids have just loved it,” said Castle Rock mom Nicole Carson, who’s enrolled

Materials are loaned to families, who return them at the end of the academic year for reissue to other families. Courtesy photo three of her four children in Cloverleaf. “They love the teachers. They love the interaction with friends. It allows me in the other four days to do what we need to get done
and still have a quality educational experience.” Cloverleaf is not a new program, but the Castle Rock program was for years run by Aurora Public Schools. DCSD stepped in for the 2011-12 school year. Home-schooled students are funded by the state at half the rate of a full-time student, so the district receives about $3,100 a year for each Cloverleaf student. It uses that money to provide parents with educational materials for home use, lease the sites, pay
teachers and for classroom materials and activities. About 1,000 parents are registered with DCSD to run a home education program. More and more of them are choosing to augment their home education with one of DCSD’s programs. In addition to Cloverleaf, Platte River Academy and American Academy offer home-school programs. Because of the state-provided funding, McGraw said the programs are provided “at zero cost to the district.” “Over the past two years, we have a significantly larger number participating in programs we have sponsored for them,” McGraw said. “It also happens to be bringing in some per-pupil revenue for us. But our goal was to meet them where they needed and bring services to them. “I’m very pleased in terms of the relationships we’re developing with the parents,” McGraw said. “It’s a relationship based on respect.” While many home education parents choose the option for religious reasons, their reasons are varied. “I am a Christian, but that wasn’t my main motivation,” Carlson said. “It started just as I wasn’t ready to send my kid off to be in someone else’s hands all day. Then I also wanted to be the main influence in what they were learning and who was influencing them. It was good for us to be able to spend that time together and for me to help develop them as young people.” Carlson’s oldest child has participated in the program for six years. She thinks DCSD’s involvement has been for the better. “They’re offering more options for us, resources that weren’t available when Aurora had it,” she said. “I definitely think it’s a positive thing.”
Apple Award winner’s boss sings her praises Douglas County school nurse consultant ‘remarkable,’ ‘well loved’ By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Like almost every Apple Award winner, school nurse consultant Celia Flanigan becomes tongue-tied when asked why she believes she was chosen for the honor. “There’s so many people that deserve it,” she said. “I was shocked.” Flanigan, a Douglas County School District nurse for 14 years, was chosen as the district’s 2013 Classified Employee of the Year. While she’s reluctant to talk about the qualities that earned her that distinction, her boss has no such reservations. “Celia is a remarkable person,” said Paulette Joswick, director of DCSD Health Services. “She’s so well loved among her fellow nurses, and also her schools. I’ve never heard anybody say anything negative about her.” Flanigan has helped health services work efficiently with its available staff. “There aren’t as many nurses as we would like for servicing kids with increasingly complicated health problems, so we have to work smarter,” Joswick said. “Celia is one of those that teaches us to work smarter.” School nurses are responsible for multiple schools, and Flanigan leads an eightnurse team that covers the nearly 30 Parker-area schools. Because nurses can’t be on-site at all times, she helps train school staff to care for the specific health issues of children in their schools. “We have heart disease, transplants, diabetes — a lot of very challenging issues,” Joswick said. “A lot of very challenging health issues. People look at a school nurse and think, `She’s sitting in a clinic taking care of boo-boos,’ and that is not what we’re doing at all.
School nurse consultant Celia Flanigan was named DCSD’s 2013 Classified Employee of the Year. Courtesy photo “Celia’s very cheerful, very positive, very knowledgeable — and always willing to share that knowledge with others.” The Franktown resident has been a nurse for more than 30 years, earning her master’s degree in 2005. Nursing is all she’s ever wanted to do. But she found her niche in 1999 when she switched from a hospital to a school setting. “Once I started doing it, I absolutely loved it,” she said. She treats children for a broad variety of health challenges, from allergies and asthma to emotional disorders and cancer. She works with athletes who’ve suffered concussions as part of the district’s Traumatic Brain Injury team. Flanigan finds joy in helping students work through those issues and still reap the benefits of school. “I really find it uplifting,” Flanigan said. “It’s always great to see the kids have the opportunity for an education — regardless of what health concerns they may have.” “I plan to do this until I retire and that probably won’t be for a long time.”

Senate Bill 195: Bans exclusive online training for those seeking concealed handgun permits. This was the least-debated and least controversial of the gun bills, garnering supportive comments from Republicans. An amended version of this bill requires that at least some training for handgun permits be done in person, and through a class that is taught by a certified instructor. The bill’s Senate sponsor is Lois Tochtrop, D-Thornton. This bill, which passed 22-13, received bipartisan support, with Republican Sens. Ellen Roberts of Durango and Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud voting with Democrats. The bill now heads to the House. House Bill 1224: This bill limits the number of rounds that a high-capacity magazine can hold to 15. Democrats cite high-profile mass shootings — where the shooters used high-capacity magazines to kill multiple victims — as evidence that ammunition limits needs to be in place for the community’s sake. But Republicans say the magazine limit
Ad on Craigslist leads to marijuana arrest Littleton resident allegedly offered pot for ‘donations’ By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com
A Craigslist ad offering marijuana in exchange for a donation declared the offer “fully Amendment 64 compliant!” Undercover officers, their attention caught by the exclamation-point-ridden listing, didn’t agree. They set up an exchange and took the driver who allegedly delivered 3.5 ounces of marijuana to them to jail. Andrew Kipling Walton, 22, of Littleton, was cited for the Walton unlawful distribution of marijuana. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said the transaction that occurred beDCSD’s tween Walton and police detectives in a o Lone Tree shopping center parking lot, and the amount of marijuana Walton brought, prompted his arrest. very “The bottom line is, even though g to Amendment 64 passed, it still doesn’t au-
thorize the distribution or sale of marijuana,” said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, DCSO spokesman. “This is illegal activity.” “In this circumstance, it’s because it was being sold. He represented it as a donation, but there was no doubt it was not a donation. It was being sold.” Medicinal marijuana, approved by Colorado voters in 2000, remains the only exception, he said. Detectives from Douglas County’s Pattern Crime Unit, which includes officers from sheriff’s office, Parker, Castle Rock and Lone Tree police departments, arranged the rendezvous. The posting that caught the officers’ attention suggests those interested “Donate to charity and receive a free MJ gift!” “All you need to do is call,” said the ad, listing a phone number, “and Chris will drive to your location to receive your donation and give you your free gift.” “Each $30 donation receives a free oneeighth!” the ad said. It also suggested to customers: “Tip your driver! You tip the pizza driver, don’t you?” Colorado voters passed an initiative legalizing marijuana for recreational use in November, allowing adults 21 or older to possess up to an ounce of the substance. Amendment 64 does not allow for public consumption of marijuana, and there still is no legal way to sell it.

is arbitrary, and that such a law would do nothing to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable. The bill passed 18-17. Democratic Sens. Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge and Lois Tochtrop of Thornton joined all 15 Republicans in voting against the bill, which now heads back to the House for consideration of amendments. House Bill 1229: This bill requires universal background checks on gun sales and transfers. Supporters say the legislation closes a loophole in current Colorado law, which already requires that background checks be conducted when guns are bought through retail outlets. The bill makes exceptions for family members who give their guns to one another and those who inherent them. The bill also allows people to freely loan their guns to someone for up to a 72-hour period, so long as the person receiving the weapon is legally able to possess them. Supporters argued that the bill is necessary to weed out the bad guys who seek to buy guns. “I’m carrying this bill because gun violence has become an epidemic,” said Senate sponsor Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora. “How do we know if someone is a danger-
ous convicted felon, but for a background check?” But Republicans argue that the bill only penalizes law-abiding citizens, and that criminals will find a way to get them anyway. They also argue that the law only would work if there is a gun registry in place. “This bill will do absolutely nothing to improve, absolutely nothing,” said Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray. The bill passed the Senate 19-16, with Sen. Lois Tochtrop of Thornton being the only Democrat to vote against the legislation, which now heads back to the House for consideration of amendments. House Bill 1229: The bill says those who submit to background checks should pay for their associated costs. Republicans blasted the bill. Sen. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, said requiring people to pay fees for rights that are protected by the Constitution is akin to paying a poll tax. However, Denver Democratic Sen. Mike Johnston reminded colleagues that there are plenty of rights where fees are put in place. Sen. Andy Kerr of Lakewood was the only Democrat to vote against the bill, which passed 19-16. The bill now heads to the governor’s desk.
Guns: Tochtrop wonders how voters will respond to legislation Guns continues from Page 1
requiring those who go through background checks to pay the associated costs; and the one that Tochtrop sponsored, which would ban concealed-carry permit training from being done exclusively online. Tochtrop wonders how independent voters will respond to the legislation. “It’s the unaffiliated (voters) that don’t support some of these gun bills,” she said. “These are the people who determine elections in Colorado.” “She could be right,” said Sen. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge, when asked about her colleague’s comments. “We’ll find out in 2014.” Jahn voted in favor of four of the bills, but opposed the one regarding limits on magazines. “It’s just not enforceable,” Jahn said. “So, it’s against the law to buy 15s (rounds of ammunition in a magazine). So, they just go out and buy several 15s and carry them. The people who have committed these horrible, heinous crimes are people that are gonna get ‘em elsewhere anyway. And they’re gonna be a lot bigger than the 15s anyway.” Lakewood Democratic Sen. Andy Kerr voted against a bill that would require would-be gun buyers to pay for their own background checks. Kerr said he wanted to compromise, saying that if background checks are required on every transaction, then the state should help with the costs. Kerr also said he would have voted
against a bill that would have placed liability on gun makers and sellers of semiautomatic weapons, under certain circumstances. But Kerr said he would have supported a bill that would have banned concealed weapons from being carried on college campuses. Both of those bills were killed by their Senate sponsors on March 8, before being debated. Kerr said he made some “tough votes” but feels good about his party’s efforts to do whatever it can to prevent more bloodshed. “At the end of the day, all of the proposals were well-intended,” he said. “I think they all are issues of gun safety and violence in our communities. Some I disagreed with, but the process worked.” Jahn concurred. “I always feel comfortable with the votes I’ve made,” Jahn said. “I’ve spent a lot of time going over and over and over (the bills). I don’t vote, ever, on sound bites. Something may sound good, but I have to know in policy how does it work.” But one Republican lawmaker believes that Democrats could find themselves in big trouble in 2014. “I think the quote that will come out of this is ‘Tora, Tora, Tora,’” said Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch, playing off Tochtrop’s comments. “That’s the only thing that will result from this. You won’t stop criminals … but you will wake up a sleeping giant, I think that’s non-debatable.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Delivering results, exceeding expectations In some of my correspondence with readers, I find myself engaged in meaningful discussions around philosophy or belief systems, strategic thinking or planning, and tactical action items and execution of plans and strategies. When we are pursuing our goals and objectives our ultimate desire is to see results and meet or even exceed expectations. In order to do so, however, we have to make sure that we are in alignment in all three areas; our belief systems must support the reason behind our goal; once we have defined our goal and its relation to our core beliefs we should develop a strategy or plan; and finally we must act, take action, execute, and get after it. Many people do a great job of talking about their goals, and why they want to achieve them. They get so focused on their philosophical approach to life, and maybe, just maybe, even like talking about their
beliefs and philosophies a little too much. They mask their willingness to actually do something or take the next steps with pontification about their point of view. Our belief system should drive our plans and tactical approach, they should be seen as our foundation and launching pad, not a barrier or the end point in the pursuit of our objectives. I keep copies of my core values and beliefs in very visible places. By now they
have been ingrained in my head and my heart, and yet I still find it helpful to have them in plain sight so that when I am making plans and discussing strategies I am reminded of what is truly important in my life. A bonus of keeping them visual is that others see them too. And when they know where I stand on certain issues in life, they know that anything we co-create and any strategic plans we co-develop must be tied to my values and my beliefs. And as I have shared in prior columns we must be willing to execute and take action. So many people I have coached have come to me with their vision, their mission, their values, their business plan or life plan and they are stuck, frozen in time, and suffer from a lack of just taking that first step. And as my great friend and mentor Zig Ziglar used to say, “People who never take step one, can never take step two.” Taking action is important, but it must be

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
How do you prepare for a snowstorm? March is historically the Denver area’s snowiest month of the year, and with a winter storm in the forecast March 8, Colorado
Community Media asked people in the Park Meadows area what they thought when they heard a big snowstorm is coming, and why.
“It doesn’t bother me too much because I’m from Iowa, which gets buried in snow. I know this coming snow will melt in next few days, so as long as I can go out for my normal run, it’s fine.” — Kate Richards, Denver
“Normally, I would be wishing for spring .... But because we’ve had such a terrible winter moisture-wise, I’m kind of excited for the 10-14 inches being predicted.” — CJ Strange, Highlands Ranch
I love it because we have horses and we badly need moisture for the pasture. Also, I’m a CPA (certified public accountant) and I hate good weather during tax season. If I’ve got to work hard, everybody else should be working hard (jokingly). — Jay Dahl, Parker
“It depends on if I’m going to be traveling. I’m from Laramie, Wyo., and the roads close down there quite a bit. But I will be in Denver for the next few days .... I’m hoping to ski next weekend, but it might melt off before I get the chance.” — Deborah Ross
First time, every time I told my girlfriend about Emily, and she said, “I wonder if Emily has Asperger syndrome?” “What,” I said, “is that?” She outlined the disorder, and it sounded exactly like Emily. Emily works at a nearby hardware store. I can ask her anything. Where are the bluehandled, not the red, not the yellow, ball peen hammers and which direction are they facing, and she can tell me. I once bought a garden hose, and she gave me a garden hose tip that was as good as anything on “Ask This Old House.” Emily works at the register. She has checked me out 100 times. One hundred times she has asked me if I am in The Program. Sometimes she has asked me if I am in The Program after I have told her that I am not in The Program. “Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests,” says a Wikipedia entry. “It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development.” In other words, Emily. My girlfriend had an Asperger syndrome student named “Guyana” who went by Guyana, and then decided she wanted to be called “Pamela.” “She was SO good in my computer class that I had her teach several lessons. She should make YouTube tutorials.” Emily asks me if I am in The Program, and when I say I am not, she recites the benefits. Every single time. She says, “Have a good one,” every single time. Now and then I have stayed nearby, to hear how she communicates with the next customer. It’s precisely the same. “A pervasive developmental disorder, Asperger syndrome is distinguished by a pattern of symptoms rather than a single
congruent with our strategy and values, or we will wind up doing the wrong kind of work or even worse, doing work that is counterproductive to our goal. When it comes to delivering results and exceeding expectations it is not just about being philosophically aligned to our belief systems; coming up with the best strategy or plan; or taking action. If we are going to achieve our desired results and outperform expected outcomes, we must be complete, we must have all three elements. Please keep the emails coming and let me know if your beliefs, strategies, and tactical approach are all in alignment. You can email me at gotonorton@gmail.com and let’s make this a better than good week.
symptom. It is characterized by qualitative impairment in social interaction, by stereotyped and restricted patterns of behavior, activities and interests, and by no clinically significant delay in cognitive development or general delay in language. Intense preoccupation with a narrow subject, one-sided verbosity, and physical clumsiness are typical for the condition.” I saw Emily in the grocery store one day and she looked completely lost. “Pamela” doesn’t like crowds, sits in the cafeteria during sports assemblies, wears weird clothes, and doesn’t understand personal space. My girlfriend had to draw a circle to describe how far she wanted her to stand away from her when they talked. She used to burst into the office and announce her arrival, show drawings of dragons, and give strange facts. “The school,” my girlfriend said, “has been so good for her because her classmates embrace her and allow her to be Guyana-Pamela. She has thrived here and when I mentioned this to her parents at a conference, they cried.” I know I have been impatient with my Emily. The next time she asks me if I am a member of The Program, I will simply say that I am not, and simply say that I do not wish to become one. I’m still learning.

Thank you, Carole Murray
This is a warm thank you to you, Carole Murray, House representative for Douglas County, who cast the lone Republican vote in committee for the Colorado Civil Union Act. You overcame pressure to vote otherwise and were true to your conscience, a well-developed sense of right and wrong, and personal integrity. You were true to your pledge to protect the basic freedoms that unite Americans. You were true to our sacred national document, the Constitution, that guarantees equal rights to all citizens. As a heterosexual wife, mother and grandmother, I believe that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, is entitled to the same rights as myself: to love, to have a legally recognized union, to raise a family, to have the legal protections to raise that family, and to be a respected and fully enfranchised member of our community, our state, and our nation. We should have no second-class citizens. But, this is not about me. It is about you, Carole, and how you represented those of us, regardless of political affiliations, who stand for equality. You have my deepest respect and admiration. With your help, committed gay and lesbian couples will soon have critical legal protections to provide for one another, protections most of us take for granted, such as access to medical-care information and decision-making, access to healthcare coverage, and the ability to arrange proceedings related to a partner’s death ... humane and compassionate protections. This IS the civil rights issue of this time and place, and those who speak for gay and lesbian equality march alongside those who fought for women’s right to vote and the civil rights movement led by Rev. Martin Luther King. Carole, you will look back on your tenure as a state official and say, “I did the right thing. I did not let this moment in history pass me by without taking a stand

Coffman should tackle loopholes
Rep. Mike Coffman released a statement recently in regards to across-the-board cuts in spending caused by sequestration. Coffman asserts, “I will continue to work hard every day to prioritize spending in order to protect our military, our veterans, our seniors, and the families across my congressional district from being negatively impacted.” The congressman needs to consider a more responsible way of balancing the national budget through closing corporate tax loopholes to generate revenue at a time when his constituents need it the most. If Coffman was truly standing up for his constituency, shouldn’t he be concerned about 10 years of cuts to essential programs that the people in his district need to maintain their basic livelihoods? Take Centennial local Snow Shaefer for example. She is worried about how the cuts to Medicare will affect her everyday life. “For me personally, the cost shifting would be on my shoulders to come up with the 2 percent reduction of payment to providers. I would need to make a decision on whether to go to the doctor or pay my heating bill. Do I go to the doctor or eat this week?” Snow expressed to Coffman’s staff. Unfortunately, Snow’s story is all too common in the 6th District of Colorado. These cuts will be devastating to working and middle-class families, which is why Rep. Coffman must be a champion for his people and support closing corporate tax loopholes. Caitlin Murray Denver

Don’t rush changes in library protocol The Douglas County Libraries, a library district (and like the county, a subdivision of the state), was established by a vote of the citizens in 1990. At that time, the county commissioners granted to the new library board of trustees (first by intergovernmental agreement, and in 2001 by resolution) the right to nominate its own members. The commissioners have always been the final appointing authority. That arrangement isn’t uncommon, although there are several variations around the state. There are no elected library boards in Colorado, and appointing authorities often hand over the nominating process. But Colorado library law is explicit about accountability: It is the trustees, and only the trustees, who are responsible for adopting a budget, for setting policy, for evaluation of the director, for the acquisition and disposition of property, and more. We have adopted three processes we believe are exemplary. One of them concerns nominations. When there are vacancies, we advertise widely, request letters of interest and resumes, interview candidates in real-life panel environments, and carefully consider qualifications focused only on communication skills, not political views. Then we forward our recommendation to the county commissioners, who have always accepted them. It is not unusual for us to receive over a dozen applications for each open position. We routinely invite the commissioners to participate in the process. Our second process is an annual board evaluation. Once a year, trustees must fill out a formal document that not only holds their own performance to rigorous standards, but assesses the functioning of the board as a group. This process has been tweaked through the years, but is widely considered a “best practice” in the field. Our trustees have presented on this model at regional and national conferences, and have even been approached by a library publisher to write a book about it. Our third process concerns reappointment. If serving trustees seek reappointment, they are again formally evaluated by all other board members according to various criteria: Do they attend meetings? Do they thoroughly review board packet materials before meetings? Do they not only participate, but contribute to board discussions and decisions? Do they seek opportunities to connect both to our community and the larger library environment? In short, the board of trustees of the Douglas County Libraries has been a thoughtful, conscientious and highperforming public body. It has demonstrated the ability to manage its performance, and held

Democrats’ gun bills do nothing for safety There are good reasons why our nation’s Founding Fathers created a two-house national legislature and why Colorado followed the same path. The second house is supposed to improve or reject bills that the first chamber may have passed in haste. How well is this system working in the case of the anti-gun bills put forward by the majority Democrats in the General Assembly? Regrettably, the answer is, not very well. While two of the worst bills did not pass the Senate — the ban on concealed carry on college campuses and the proposal to hold gun manufacturers (and gun owners!) liable for all the future uses of their products — the Senate has passed three House bills that also deserved to be rejected. The Senate was not convinced that a ban on concealed carry on college campuses would improve public safety. The problem is that none of the five bills passed by the Senate will do that either. Like all Coloradans, I was shocked and outraged by the mass killings that occurred in recent months in Aurora and in Connecticut. We all want to see guns kept from mentally unstable people, and we all want our schools and malls and other public places to be safe from violent intruders. But the state’s Democratic lawmakers have misread this public outrage to press an extreme anti-gun agenda that makes no meaningful contribution to public safety. Probably the most outrageous bill in the package of proposals soon to land on Gov. Hickenlooper’s desk is HB 1224, which prohibits the sale or transfer of gun magazines that hold more than 15 rounds — or can be readily modified to hold more

than 15 rounds. The language of the bill effectively outlaws ALL gun magazines for semi-automatic firearms because they all can be modified for more than 15 rounds of ammunition. Each of the five remaining gun bills now going to the Governor has similar harmful, hidden consequences that go far beyond anything reasonable people would connect to public safety. Only one bill, SB 195, prohibiting online safety training courses for concealed carry permits, earned bipartisan support. A new poll by Public Opinion Strategies shows that most Coloradans do not think these bills make them safer. The evidence is that the public has not been fooled by the attempt to rush these bills though the Legislature without adequate debate and consideration of unintended consequences. We can only hope that the governor is listening to the good citizens of Colorado. If he is the sensible moderate he claims to be, he will veto these three House bills.

itself to the highest standards of public accountability. Since 2009, our library has been ranked number one in the nation for our population (by Hennen’s American Public Library Rankings). In its 22 years of operation, the library has incurred no debt, survived a recession with no layoffs or cutbacks in public service, and has even saved for future construction. It has been recently mentioned in Forbes and the Wall Street Journal as a leader in the field of digital content management, and as a pioneer in the nurturing and ebook publication of local authors. Moreover, we have enjoyed strong, mutually supportive partnerships with the schools (for whom we provide over $250,000 in services annually), the towns and cities in the county, the Highlands Ranch Metro District, various chambers of commerce, Arapahoe Douglas Works! and many others. Board discussion is often passionate and robust. Because the library board acts promptly to recommend members, it has never suffered from long vacancies. Of course, any process can be improved, and we welcome the county commissioners to participate and suggest thoughtful changes to any of our current mechanisms for ensuring effective governance. We do not, however, believe that simply substituting a partisan appointment process, without the significant input of our highly engaged volunteer trustees, would lead to improvement. As noted in the Feb. 21 and Feb. 22 editions of Colorado Community Media’s Douglas County newspapers, if it isn’t broken, what are we trying to fix? And why now? We invite all citizens with an interest in the preservation of a system that has clearly worked well both for our libraries and our community to attend the commissioners’ meeting at 1:30 p.m. March 26 in the Commissioner Hearing Room, 100 Third St., Castle Rock.

Two teachers’ groups trade accusations District, non-union association dispute collaboration claims By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Two teachers’ groups traded barbs recently, with one claiming the other is “in bed” with the Douglas County Board of Education and the other calling that and other accusations baseless. The Douglas County Federation of Teachers, for decades the only DCSD teachers’ union, believes the board that failed to renew their collective bargaining agreement in 2012 is tied to the Professional Association of Colorado Educators. PACE, described as a non-union teachers association that prides itself on being nonpartisan, is the state chapter of the Association of
American Educators. The AAE claims traditional teachers’ unions have disseminated false information about them to discourage teachers from joining them. That, PACE membership director Tim Farmer said, is what’s happening in Douglas County. “This information is completely misleading and dishonest,” Farmer said. “The idea that somehow PACE and the school board are working together is just ludicrous.” A key sticking point between the district and DCFT during the ultimately fruitless 2012 negotiations was DCSD’s request that the union give up its role as the teachers’ sole bargaining agent. DCFT recently posted on its website a document called “PACE Revealed: The truth behind the organization,” it says was in response to an email PACE sent to DCSD teachers. It details PACE’s and AAE’s alleged ties to organizations and individuals that support
the current school board, “as well as its illegal voucher program.” “There are organizations all across the country that link back to the AAE, all very much anti-union organizations,” DCFT President Brenda Smith said. “They say they’re not political, but political people support them.” PACE responded to the accusations on its website, calling most of the claims misleading or inaccurate. “We hope that’ll be the end of it,” Farmer said. “We don’t want to engage in a back-andforth. We want the factual information to be out there and let the teachers decide.” The National Education Association, the country’s largest labor union, also has accused AAE and its state affiliates of being “pro-voucher” “anti-public education” and “anti-union.” Farmer doesn’t deny PACE sent emails to teachers, but said DCSD didn’t help them do so.
Dogs: ‘He’s my dog, yet he’s a Douglas County dog’ Dogs continues from Page 1
“No one has really taught him what to do yet,” Tucker said. “He knows he is supposed to bite, but he may not be doing it correctly. Jimmy makes sure all the dogs are biting in the right places. You want them to be equal-opportunity biters. A lot of dogs will just bite legs, because that’s what they like, but they need to bite high as well.” The dogs, all shepherds and milanese, can apply between 800 and 1,200 pounds of pressure with one bite. Aside from proper aggression training, they are also taught how to track and sniff out drugs. Each of the Douglas County dogs is selected from Von Liche Kennels in Denver, Ind., where more than 5,000 agencies get their dogs. As members of the K-9 Unit they get to go out on all of the “cool calls,” says Deputy John Glassburner, who has been involved with Douglas County K-9 since 1998, and like the other officers lives with his partner, 5-year-old KOA.
“I tell everybody I have a take-home car and a takehome dog,” Glassburner said. “All the dogs we get from Von Liche are very sociable. They have great temperament. My kids, they wrestle with him, they play with him, and they give him treats.” While sociable at home, the dogs are all business in the field, which can make it difficult on the officers when they have to send their partners out in front of them to scope out a dangerous situation — such as when multiple agencies convened on a manhunt in Parker two weekends ago. “He’s my dog, yet he’s a Douglas County dog,” Glassburner said. “It makes it hard. You are always waiting for that one moment where he goes around that corner and you hear that pop and then when you don’t hear it you are glad he’s coming back, but you have to remember that’s their job. I love that dog to death, but I’d rather my dog die as a hero than one of the SWAT guys or the patrol guys.”

It takes a special type of person to step into an emotional situation, but victim advocates come in all shapes and sizes. Although local police departments rely heavily on volunteer victim advocates, the selection process is stringent. First and foremost, law enforcement agencies look for those who possess a “calming attitude,” said Prokop, who oversees five volunteers. “We don’t look for anyone in particular. You don’t need to have a psychology degree or any experience,” she said. “We look for people who are openminded, non-judgmental and good listeners.” An initial 40-hour training session covers crisis intervention skills and the history of victim rights, followed by ongoing training and case reviews. The volunteers are told that they might be expected to get up in the middle of the night and have to go to work the next morning. They are also warned that they might not learn about how things transpired with the victim they have supported. Prokop, winner of the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance’s award for outstanding victim advocate last year, and her mentor, Moschner, sometimes receive messages of gratitude from those they have helped. “I heard from a victim 20 years later, who was child at the time (of the crime), and you don’t expect that, but sometimes you hear back,” Prokop said. “Occasionally, I’ve gotten hugs from people on the street.”

“In November, we requested from the school district to distribute PACE brochures to teacher mailboxes and were told `no,’” he said. “If we were actually collaborating and working together with them, you’d think at the very least they’d let us put our brochures out.” DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson confirmed Farmer’s statement. “We told PACE `no,’” she said. “We have not coordinated nor do we plan to coordinate any distribution of material for PACE or DCFT.” Farmer said PACE created its own database of publicly available teacher emails. “We sent out a mass email — basically a pretty standard blurb about PACE, letting them know about us,” he said. Smith said she has evidence to the contrary she cannot share. “We know for a fact they’re linked to our current school board members,” she said. “For them to say they’re not is just false.”

Arapahoe-Douglas Arc ‘home’ at last New building brings end to half-century of renting space By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com After more than 50 years of renting office space, the Arc Arapahoe-Douglas Counties now has a place to call its own, and celebrated the occasion with a festive ribbon cutting and reception. It’s new, it’s spacious and it comes at one of the more opportune times in the real estate market, but most important, for the hundreds of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities Arc serves, it’s a home. The east Centennial building’s $775,000 purchase price was funded in part by a $225,000 Arapahoe-Douglas counties community development block grant. The remainder was secured through funding from the Arc Thrift Stores and a 15-year mortgage. “This new building is the end of a long journey for us,” said Arc Executive Director Carol Meredith at the March 8 grand opening. “We’ve been leasing office space since about 1955 and we finally have a facility that, we hope, will become an asset not just for those we help, but for the community as well.” The 5,600-square-foot contemporary flagstone building was built in 2004 by a custom homebuilder and meets Arc’s needs for space, community activities and even future expansion.

There’s also a comfort room, which Meredith describes as a safe space used for personal care, such as changing diapers or nursing, but also as a quiet place for those who may become over-stimulated and need a break. “Something we didn’t really have before,” she said. But for Kelly Stahlman, mother of twin boys with cerebral palsy, the feeling of home resonates beyond Arc’s new physical structure. “When you have a child with developmental disabilities, you have no idea what life is supposed to look like,” explained Stahlman, whose boys Mark and Eric are now 21 years old. “For us, this is a place to belong, a place to be a part of, a place for the whole family as well as the entire community.”

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK What is your specialty and what does that mean for the peo- cause they didn’t act quickly. Usually, it only happens once. It Heather Blake makes me sad when a client misses out on a great house! ple you work with? CRS, CLHMS
REALTOR® Re/Max Leaders cell: 303-257-2801 e-fax: 303-991-3091 www.5280realestate.com realestate@heatherblake.com Where were you born? In the Suburbs of Washington, DC. I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio though! How long have you lived in the area? Since 1990, I went to University of Denver and never left! I also lived in Summit County for nine years after college and relocated to Denver in late 2000. What do you like most about it? I love the 300 days of sunshine! I’m outside doing something every day! Also, have you ever noticed how nice ev-eryone is here? Maybe it’s the attitude here because most people choose to live here! I notice it and when clients are moving here, they always comment on that. We are so lucky!
Well, I don’t really think I have a specialty because I truly believe you need to stay well rounded in our industry, especially in this economy. I really believe in staying ahead of the curve with technology and with housing statistics so I can try to provide as much accurate information as possible! I also serve in the Board of Directors for the South Metro Denver Realtor Association and I serve on the Legislative Policy Committee for the Colorado Association of Realtors. I believe that being active within our Realtor community keeps me ahead of the game about our industry. This knowledge is invaluable.
What is the most challenging part of what you do? Right now, it can be a little frustrating. Because our inventory is so low, most cli properties tend to go quickly. Some clients think that I am blowing smoke when I encourage them to make an offer on a house that they love and then be they miss out be-
What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I’m a tennis addict. If I told you how much I play, you would think I was crazy! I also, walk daily with my two 90-pound Labradoodles, Handsome Hans and Charming Charlie, ski and try to fit in some golf too! I’m also a food blogger in the evenings! What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? You are moving anyway, so why not start packing up your house, de-clutter and “spring clean” before the house goes on the market! Homes show better with less personal items – people want to see their own things in the home! What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Make lists; a must-have, would-like-to-have and I’d-bedreaming-if-I-got-it list. This really helps me narrow down homes when I look them up for you. Once we start looking you can adjust the list if you need to but a list is a great place to start! Also, in today’s market you need to be pre-approved for financing. You need to talk to a lender before you start your list! What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? There are two odd things… One, a 12-foot bronze Stallion in the middle of someone’s living room and a life size Yoda prominently displayed on a shelf in a family room! I actually took pictures of both because it was so strange!
How long have you worked in Real Estate? I began my career in property management in 1992 and have been a licensed Realtor since 1998! Wow! 15 years, I’m starting to date myself!

IMPROVE YOUR CURB APPEAL M
en and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around. A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget. * Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower
beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult do-it-yourself project. * Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home. * Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage.
Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters. * Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible. * Make sure all plants, including flowers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and flowers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the impression that you didn’t pay much attention to your property. Make sure all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can replant new flowers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose low-mainte-

Religion of a different brand Cowboy church hopes to rustle up variety of strays By Deborah Grigsby

W
hat if religion could be as comfortable as a well-worn pair of boots? Pastor Kevin Weatherby says it already is, and one can find it every Sunday morning at 10 a.m. at the Elbert County Fairgrounds where he holds cowboy church. “Cowboy church is really just church without all the fuss,” said Weatherby in his native Texas drawl. “We just do everything in a cowboy fashion.” That cowboy fashion, according to the former oil company inventory man, is one of simplicity and practicality, right down to baptism by immersion in a horse trough. “Oh that trough’s not a prop,” said Weatherby. “That’s the same horse trough I water my own horses in, except I drain it and rinse it before service.” Prior to the 1980s, cowboy churches were few and far between. While it is unclear where the movement began, it is thought to have its roots in outreach ministries serving the professional rodeo circuit. But its no-frills approach appeals to more than just cowboys. Weatherby said the “no barrier” model removes much of the organizational bureaucracy that tends to keep people away from church, including himself. Warm, open and gentlemanly, Weatherby admits if someone would have told him he’d one day be preaching the gospel, he said he would have laughed out loud. “When I met my wife 10 years ago, I had a beer in my hand, a beer in my pocket and Copenhagen tobacco in my cheek,” he said. But it was a small cowboy church in Fort
Decorative spurs adorn the conference table in Kevin Weatherby’s office. The Texas native is the founder of Kiowabased Save the Cowboy, a non-denominational Christian church that removes many of the barriers that keep people at home on Sunday mornings. He says his church embraces a simple approach to religion with a Western flair. Stockton, Texas, that changed his life. “I remember walking through the doors that Sunday and the first thing I saw was two kids chasing a border collie trying to rope it,” he recalled. “And I remember saying to myself, `Well, if we don’t get struck by lightning in here today, I think I’m gonna like this.’” Weatherby eventually assumed the pastor’s position at the church, but through a series of serendipitous events — as well as his wife’s prayers — the couple made their way to Elbert County. And while he’s quick to point out he’s not a theologian, he does take a shine to being known as a storyteller. “I don’t use a lot of big words,” he said. “My gift is storytelling and I use that to
spread the gospel.” Based in Kiowa, Weatherby’s Save the Cowboy organization is an international ministry with followers as far away as Canada, Australia and Brazil. His Elbert County flock averages more than 200 parishioners each Sunday. The organization is currently looking for assistance in building a “ranch-like” headquarters operation where it can serve veterans and their families with specialized job training and therapy. “We’re filling up the pasture,” he said. “Come as you are, we don’t care if you’re a goat, a sheep, an alpaca or a hog — we’ve got room.” For more information, visit www. savethecowboy.com.

Before touring, the collective has a multiweek residency in San Francisco. Each year, they choose a modern master to feature — this year it’s pianist Chick Corea — and perform a new work by each member, commissioned for the tour. In addition, they mentor young San Francisco jazz musicians through outreach and workshops while in residence. 2013 members are: • Miguel Zenon, alto saxophone, is the only original member.

Urban Almanac
Erica McNeish and Laurie Smith are both food lovers and food “professionals,” having worked as a food stylist and food photographer. The pair has recently announced the launch of “The Urban Almanac” at www.theurbanalmanac.com. The website offers a seasonal online guide that features the bounty of food, drink and artisanal products that come solely from Colorado.
“The idea is to bring Coloradans great stories about passionate, local and sometimes unknown purveyors. Through blogging about these artisans, we get to do what we love most: discover what is happening locally, document their stories with photographs, develop recipes with their products, and do what we can to spread the good word,” said Smith. The Urban Almanac includes feature stories and recipes for breakfasts, lunches, desserts and main courses, hot drinks, cold drinks, cocktails and much more all featuring Colorado products. It provides “foodies” with a unique resource for tracking and tasting local flavors. McNeish has been a food lover her entire life and made a career of it as a freelance food stylist. She has styled 10 cookbooks (including two award winners) and her work has been featured in magazines including Gourmet, 5280, Sunset and Cowboys and Indians. Smith is a freelance photographer, specializing in the world of food and travel. She has photographed and documented food stories around the globe, and her photos have been published in 35 cookbooks and national food magazines, such as Savor, Food and Wine, Sunset, 5280 and Cowboys and Indians. “We’re excited to be able to express our passion for the food, farmers and foragers of the Front Range!” said McNeish.

Growing guild getting new home Art on the Edge under construction By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Coming soon” says the white sign in the window at 341 N. Wilcox St. Inside the historic storefront, electricians and construction workers are adding beautifully grained beetle-kill wood doors and decorative touches, installing a small kitchen and a sound system, painting cabinets. Many volunteers are pitching in on finishing work. Special low-energy lights are installed in the classroom space at the rear, where artists will teach students of all ages both day and night. Wiring for a kiln is in place. Art on the Edge, the new home of the Greater Castle Rock Art Guild, GCRAG, will open to the community in late April, with a public reception. The spacious front part of the 2,300-square-foot space with exposed brick walls will serve as an art gallery and special events space for the community. The gallery will host Final Friday openings and will have ongoing exhibits of various kinds. Across the street next summer, the guild will host its first outdoor festival on the old courthouse lawn, “Court the Arts.” Guild president Ellie Ludvigsen speaks enthusiastically of the community support for the guild. Some businesses have

displayed art in the Art Around Town project; the Castle Rock branch of Arapahoe Community College is a new member and there is talk of collaborative projects; there is a relationship with the schools; with music groups and with a group of weddingoriented businesses. “It’s definitely a small-
town project,” she said. A number of members are not artists, but supporters, and the membership total is about 140 and growing weekly. An important part of the business plan is to rent the space for special events such as rehearsal dinners and receptions. Artist/
members will be available for services: a calligrapher, for example and a jeweler and framer. Flying Horse Catering is consulting. GCRAG will hire an executive director and a facility manager who will work as independent contractors, Ludvigsen said. They will raise funds and manage the center. She praises the guild’s strong, active board for its energy and hard work and looks forward to expanding class offerings, especially for young artists. She had experience with urban art while working in New York City, which could work here. A grant for software used in digital art and animation is on the wish list. “We take kids to the Denver Art Museum and Santa Fe Drive First Fridays,” she continued.

Former B&B owner makes switch to Italian dining By Rhonda Moore
rmoore@ourcoloradonews.com The distance between the B&B Café and Tricocci’s Family Restaurant is less than the length of a city block, but for Angela Hooper, the expanse spans decades. Hooper’s family owned the B&B for decades when a lease dispute led to the end of an era at the Castle Rock landmark. The B&B closed its doors in November, after a month-long legal dispute ended when she left the restaurant name behind her. Hooper went to work at “The B” one summer before heading to Washington, D.C., and the family joke is that it was the longest summer in history. She was 21 years old when she put on her first B&B apron and was a fixture at the restaurant for 30 years, taking over after her mother’s death. The day she signed the business name over to her former landlord was “heartbreaking,” she said. “I felt like I let down my mom,” Hooper said. “Even though this is a new start, the B&B had been my whole life.” The new start came about two months after she closed the doors to the B&B, which has remained closed, and around the time her family’s concern grew to epic proportions. The woman who had spent all of her life in the daily bustle of a family restaurant resorted to filling her time at her sewing machine. By the time she was done, she had set aside 20 baby quilts for donation to a local women’s shelter. “My kids said ‘she’s losing it,’” Hooper said.
Instead of losing it, Hooper followed through with a new venture in the form of Tricocci’s Family Restaurant. Named after her 8-month-old grandson Richard Tricocci Loiacono, the restaurant is down the street from the B&B in a space formerly filled by the Tana Dolce Wine Bar. Hooper is revamping the space to accommodate high-backed cherry booths, hand-troweled walls, historic photos of Castle Rock and an atmosphere fitting for family diners. The breakfast menu will remain the same as that at the B&B and the lunch menu will include a few minor changes. Entirely new to the Hooper family, which makes up the backbone of the staff, is a dinner menu featuring American Italian fare, alcohol and a children’s menu. Children rank high on Hooper’s list. Set aside on the restaurant’s second floor is a play area for the five children younger than 5 years old among her staff’s families, including her grandson. “Litigation can really drag you down, emotionally and financially,” Hooper said. “Plus I had 17 employees and family members. This (grandchild) has really inspired me. I was so down and he just lifted me up.” Hooper also found support in the form of customers looking forward to her new place. She hopes to have Tricocci’s open by the end of March and, about two weeks before her deadline, customer Bob Davis, 75, was among those who dropped in to pick up a paintbrush, just to pitch in. “We’ve got to get the place open,” Davis said.

Legend boys reach Final Four Titans down Fairview in Great Eight By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER - Legend is one of those good Continental League basketball teams that seems to hang around without drawing much attention until the state playoffs begin. This week the Titans are one of four teams still alive in the Class 5A boys state basketball playoffs after a 46-45 Great Eight victory over Fairview on March 8 at the Denver Coliseum Legend (21-6) made the decisive plays down the stretch against Fairview and will now challenge Denver East (24-2) on March 15 in a 7 p.m. Class 5A state semifinal game at the Coors Events Center in Boulder. “I do feel like we have been overlooked,” Legend senior forward Connor Orgill said. “Now it’s showing at tournament time.” Titans coach Kevin Boley figured this year’s team might have a chance to go farther than the 2011-12 Legend squad that lost in the third round of the state playoffs. “We thought from the beginning of the year we had a chance to do something special,” he said. “This is tremendous for our school. I’m proud of our team. It doesn’t matter where you start, it matters
where you finish.” Legend, playing without 6-foot-8 senior center Blake Truman who watched from the bench with a sprained ankle, finished strong against the Knights. Leading scorer Jon Cosmann didn’t register a point, but 6-7 senior Taylor Jenson scored 15 points, Orgill added 12 points and 6-7 junior Zach Mihalicz was the big man in the final 5:40 of the game. Mihalicz, who finished with 11 points, scored Legend’s final seven points and Orgill secured a key rebound when Fairview missed a shot with three seconds to play. “We had some key wins and then there were a couple games we thought we should have won, and that’s the reason we were not ranked as high as we thought we should have been,” Jenson said. “Obviously, I think we are proving everybody wrong now. “We’ve always been good at closing games. We’re good under pressure, keeping calm, and then Connor came up with a huge rebound. I’m excited to play in the Coors Events Center and go up against a real good team in Denver East.”

Lutheran roars past Rangely in girls basketball Lions dig out of early deficit to win 73-43 By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — Lutheran coach Mark Duitsman was curious to see how his girls would respond to a sluggish start in the Class 2A Region 4 championship game against Rangely on March 9. The Lady Panthers jumped ahead 4-0 and led 10-4 with five minutes gone in the first quarter of the playoff game played at Mullen High School. “We haven’t had to dig out of many
holes this season, and you could sense from the crowd there was a little bit of tension,” said Duitsman. “But with the girls it was just `stick with it and it will break open,’ and it did.” Boy did the game break open. Unbeaten Lutheran routed Rangely, 7343, to advance to the Class 2A state quarterfinals in Pueblo. The Lions went on an 11-2 run to end the first quarter and outscored Rangley 22-4 in the last 6:18 of the second stanza to grab a 40-21 halftime lead. The Lions forced nine turnovers during the secondquarter surge. Lutheran led by 40 points at 73-33 and didn’t score the final 6:11 of the game but
still won by 30 points. Jennifer Vigil led Lutheran with 18 points, Kassidy Kyle had 15 points, Whitney Dettmering 11 and Jessica Farra 10 for the Lions, who scored 70 or more points for the seventh straight game. Lutheran were champions of the Class 3A/2A Metro League and have an average winning margin of 33.3 points this season. “We’ve played a lot of good teams being in the Metro League so I don’t think that will hurt us goo much,” Kyle said. “We just come out and play hard every game so it really doesn’t matter who we are playing. “I think we’re playing as good as we can be. Everyone is finally starting to hit their rhythm and their shots so we’re at our best
right now.” Lutheran, state runners-up to Akron last season, was scheduled to put its 23-0 record on the line against Simla (20-4) at 5:30 p.m. March 14 at CSU-Pueblo. “There is always concern that you’ve peaked too early, but I really don’t feel that we have,” Duitsman said. “I feel like our best basketball is ahead of us. Our girls are looking forward to the big stage, they usually play better on the big stage.” Lutheran’s boys team downed Ignacio 52-46 to win the Region 8 championship March 9 in Durango. The Lions (18-5) were scheduled to play Limon (22-1) in a 4 p.m. quarterfinal game on March 14.

Chaparral girls fall in Great Eight Wolverines finish season with 19-6 record By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — The Chaparral girls basketball team fell behind early and never recovered in a 55-38 loss to Grandview in a Great Eight game March 7 at the Denver Coliseum. Grandview raced to a 12-2 lead in the first quarter and scored the first six points in the second quarter to go ahead 19-6, and it was an uphill battle the rest of the game for the Wolverines. The closest the Wolverines could come to the Wolves was 11 points late in the third quarter. “They played a little faster than us,” Chaparral coach Tony Speights said. “No, it wasn’t nerves. They just played a little better
than us.” Katie Longwell, a 5-foot-7 senior guard, scored 11 points to lead Chaparral, which ended the season with a 19-6 record. Speights told reporters after a 71-36 loss to Highlands Ranch in the first game of the Continental League season not to count out his team, and his team made him sound like a prophet. “I have seven amazing seniors,” Speights said. “I wished they could have got a little bit more. 19-6 was a good season. “It was a good season, good kids, great senior class and great leadership. I can’t say enough good things about those kids. They gave it everything they had and came up a little short. There’s no shame in that.”

Mountain Vista boys pull out thriller Golden Eagles top Cherokee Trail in double overtime By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com DENVER — Mountain Vista boys basketball coach Bob Wood knew his team would be in trouble if the game lasted any longer. Graham Smith was tired but his layup helped to end a long night for the Golden Eagles. Mountain Vista posted an emotionally draining 78-76 double-overtime Class 5A quarterfinal state playoff victory over Cherokee Trail on March 8 at the Denver Coliseum. The Golden Eagles (23-2) advanced to the Final Four for the first time in school history and will face Eaglecrest (21-5) in an 8:30 p.m. semifinal game March 15 at the Coors Events Center in Boulder. Mountain Vista had a chance to win at the end of regulation against Cherokee Trail and at the conclusion of the first overtime, but the third time was a charm for the Golden Eagles. Fairview was ahead 76-75 when Mountain Vista employed a slip-screen play to grab the lead. Smith, off a pass from Amir Qadri, made a layup with 14.2 seconds on the clock to give Mountain Vista a onepoint advantage.
“It was the same play we ran the other night,” Smith said. “I was expecting the pass. I shot it a little early but he came at me so quick that I figured I might as well shoot it. “I got hit really hard so I’m just glad it went in. I was tired but the adrenaline just makes you keep going.” Mountain Vista coach Bob Wood told his players not to hesitate. “I said, this is it, we’re going to win it now,” he said. “We decided to do it right away because if we missed it, we’re still behind and the only chance we would have is to foul and hope they miss some free throws. We went early to take the lead. “That was a big play and a nice play from a kid off our bench. He’s a soccer player and has really good basketball skills. He is a guy that finishes plays well. It wasn’t like it was an easy basket, we didn’t get a breakaway layup.” After Smith’s basket, Fairview’s Tyler Larkin had an apparent basket wiped out by a traveling call and Mountain Vista’s Damani Repress sank one of two free throws with 2.7 seconds showing to give the Golden Eagles a 78-76 lead. Cherokee Trail’s Drick Bernstine grabbed the rebound after Repress’ missed free throw and threw the ball toward the basket at the other end. His desperation shot was on line but fell just short. “I watched that last shot, I was so scared,”
Mitch Carter (21) grabs a loose ball for Mountain Vista and draws several Cherokee Trail defenders in the March 8 Great Eight state playoff game. It took double overtime for the Golden Eagles to get the 78-76 win. Photo by Tom Munds Wood said. “If that would have went in, I would’ve said it must not have been meant to be. We’ve done everything we can. “Thank God we won in that overtime because I don’t think we could have survived another one. We hung in there good because we were in such bad foul trouble.” Smith, Jake Pemberton and Elijah Valdez each had four fouls and Mitch Carter and Chandler Wiscombe had fouled out of the
game. Pemberton and Valdez each had 19 points to share game-scoring honors in the game that saw 25 lead changes in the second half. “These kids have done a great job,” Wood said. “They don’t give up. They always play until the end and they always think we’re going to win.”
HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ROUNDUP Valor assistant coach let go
Daniel Pitman, an assistant hockey coach at Valor Christian, was fired after the Colorado Springs Gazette first revealed he sent letters to coaches in Texas inviting players to consider attending Valor. Pitman’s letter said Valor had a billeting program in which a student lives with a host family while attending school. Valor Athletic Director Rod Sherman dismissed
Pitman after the Colorado High School Activities Association informed Sherman of the letter. “Daniel Pitman is no longer employed at Valor. He was dismissed Feb. 27 once the Valor administration became aware of the e-mail which he sent regarding a potential billeting program,” Sherman said. “The Valor administration has had no conversations regarding the commencement of such a
program and has no plans for this type of program. Valor does not allow nonValor students to participate on any of our Valor athletic teams. We have been in conversations with CHSAA and have worked in full cooperation with them regarding this incident.”
