Castle Rock gives green light to accessory dwelling units

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There’s good news for fans of the tiny house movement living in Castle Rock. Or, anyone looking to turn that old garage into a living space.

Town council in January approved an ordinance that will allow one “accessory dwelling unit” to a residential lot, with a footprint of up to 800 square feet on its ground level.

Accessory dwelling units are secondary, small dwellings on the same grounds as a single-family home often referred to as a “nanny unit” or “mother-in-law unit.” That could include new construction, like building a tiny house in the back yard, or converting structures like a garage or basement into rentable living quarters.

“Many of them will be placed above a garage, most of them will be placed in a basement,” said the town’s director

Lucia McConnell, a Craig and Gould resident, is considering converting this garage into a rentable living space under Castle Rock’s new town ordinance allowing accessory dwellings.

JESSICA GIBBS of development Bill Detweiler during the Jan. 16 council meeting.

In the Dec. 5 town council meeting, where council approved the first reading of the new ordinance, Detweiler said staff expected most accessory dwellings would be placed in existing structures because many of the town’s residential areas are planned communi-

ties, like The Meadows, that are “not necessarily set up for detached units.”

Any accessory dwellings, detached structures or not, would still need to comply with zoning regulations such as building height restrictions, and rules set by homeowners’ associations, which could ban them altogether.

New construction would

need to undergo special review by the planning commission and ultimately come before the town council.

The ordinance also stipulates the accessory dwelling and the primary residence can’t be rented to two different people — the property owner must live in one and rent the other, or, rent the entire lot to one individual.

That requirement was subject to brief debate on council, with Councilmember Jason Bower at first calling it an “overreach” of property rights in the Dec. 5 meeting.

Councilmember George Teal, however, said it would keep the ordinance in line with the town’s “family-oriented” lifestyle.

The ordinance clarifies other rules and regulations for installing an accessory dwelling, such as that the unit should fit the look and feel of its neighborhood, and the number of pets allowed ap-

plies to the entire lot, not each residence on the property. RVs and campers do not qualify as accessory dwellings.

Detweiler said town staff and council began researching the issue after residents, many from the historic Craig and Gould neighborhood, asked about changing town code to allow accessory dwellings.

Craig and Gould resident Lucia McConnell was excited by council’s decision. McConnell’s historic home comes with a garden shed original to the property and a garage she uses as a workspace. She’ll consider converting the garage into an accessory dwelling, she said. She also believes the new town rules will help fill a gap in the housing market by offering affordable housing options to students, young couples or other relatives of property owners.

“I think,” she said, “there’s a real market for it.”

MY NAME IS

BOB AND DAVID LOWRY

Allstate agency owners give back over holidays How our careers began Bob: I began my career as an Allstate agency owner in 1997, leaving a 25-year career with a Fortune 100 company. Not wishing to relocate our family, we chose to remain in Colorado and see what the future held.

David: I began my career with Allstate over 16 years ago, entering the Lowry agency shortly after high school. I worked in my family’s agency during my summers in high school. I immediately liked the business and helping people.

I’ve been married to my lovely wife for five years, and we have a beautiful daughter who is three weeks old.

A ‘wonderful’ career Bob: An opportunity to join Allstate

presented itself, and with no prior insurance experience, I signed up and opened our agency. It has been a truly wonderful experience from the beginning.

David: My career path is unique in that I was able to come into the insurance field early in my life, learning to always put people first and to always do the right thing, even if it can be challenging to do. It’s pretty neat to be 34 years old and have more experience than most people in this field.

us in so many ways, that it gives us a great feeling to return those blessings in some small way. It’s all about helping others with a hand up, versus a handout.

David: The families were all local to the Douglas County area. It filled my heart with joy to be able to provide a full holiday meal to people that otherwise would not have had one. You could really see the thanks in their eyes and how happy they were to be able to enjoy a true Thanksgiving.

Giving back David: Our agency teamed up with 40 local Allstate agents to volunteer with the organization Integrated Family Community Services. While giving our time to help our community, we earned an Allstate Foundation Helping Hands grant for the nonprofit. We spent time sorting, packing and delivering holiday food baskets to people in need. We also chatted with each family and shared stories together.

Bob: Our community has blessed

Our advice Bob: Our life motto is to help others, not until it hurts, but until it feels good. When that happens, you will sleep very well at night.

David: I live by the mantra that if you can help someone out, you do it. Not because you “have to,” but because it’s the human thing to do.

How is voter fraud investigated?

Douglas County explains process after woman accused of double voting

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In early January, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach announced charges against two Coloradans for allegedly double voting in Kansas and Colorado during the 2016 general election.

One voter, Bailey Ann McCaughey, 20, is suspected of having voted in both Finney County, Kansas, and Douglas County. The other suspect, Que J. Fullmer, allegedly voted in Hamilton County, Kansas, and in Colorado, where he owns a home in Brighton.

McCaughey was charged with one count of election perjury and one count of voting more than once, according to a Jan. 4 news release from Kobach’s office.

As of Jan. 26, McCaughey was scheduled to make her first appearance in Finney County district court on Feb. 10, said her attorney, Paul Oller. She would not be required to enter a plea at that time, and Oller was still gathering information from the Kansas Secretary of State’s office to

“When a potential voter duplication is found, the Secretary of State refers the potential case to the county of origin who after preliminary review forwards it to their respective DA for consideration and possible prosecution,” Klotz wrote.

Klotz said the process identifies a small number of cases of potential voter fraud each year. Colorado also contributes data to the Kansas-run Interstate Crosscheck Program, which may be how Kobach’s office identified the two Colorado voters charged in January.

A spokesman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office confirmed they were investigating a case of an alleged double voting but declined to name the suspect or provide more details on the investigation. The spokesman could not provide a number of how many voter fraud cases the office has investigated in recent years, but said he was only aware of one other active case that is still pending.

As of the Jan. 4 charges, Kobach had obtained nine voter fraud convictions since 2015, when the Kansas Secretary of State received prosecutorial authority. There were three other cases pending in addition to McCaughey and Fulmer’s.

Five things to know about the Pine Canyon annexation Proposal for 540-acre addition not ready for planning commission, town council

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock is reviewing the latest version of an annexation and zoning proposal for a 540-acre property located near Rock Park and Douglas County High School. The town first received an annexation application for Pine Canyon in 2013. In November, it received the ninth revision of the application.

Here are five things to know about the development proposal and its path toward possible annexation into Castle Rock.

A project timeline The Pine Canyon annexation dates back more than a decade, when developers submitted the first sketch plans for the property to Castle Rock. The town didn’t receive a formal annexation and zoning application until 2013.

“The town does not ask property owners to annex. The property owners initiate those actions,” Tara Vargish said, Castle Rock’s assistant development services director.

“Once they made an application to the town we are required to give them due process.”

Between then and now there have been numerous changes to the proposal. Staff could request the developer make more changes to the plan after reviewing the newest version. Or, staff could forward the application on to the next phase in the approval process.

What’s proposed Pine Canyon sits near Douglas County High School between Scott Boulevard and Founders Parkway and on both the east and west side of Interstate 25 in unincorporated Douglas County.

The developer hopes to annex Pine Canyon into Castle Rock and change the property’s zoning from Agriculture One to zoning that would allow a mixture of single-family and multifamily housing, according to town documents.

The current zoning allows singlefamily homes on lots ranging from two to 35 acres, public and private schools and places of worship up to 350 seats. Changing the zoning could allow developers to create a more urban area than what the current zoning allows, Vargish said. By annexing, Pine Canyon would also have access to town utilities and services, although it would be responsible for

building its own infrastructure.

What’s changed The key differences between earlier plans and the latest resubmittal are in the project’s density, Vargish said. In its original application, developers proposed building 1,550 residential dwellings, keeping 128 acres of the land as open space and proposed more than double the square footage of commercial, retail and industrial development than what’s proposed now.

The latest resubmittal proposes building up to 1,320 dwellings, both single and multi-family, and keeping 133 acres of open space.

The proposal also includes 815,000 square feet of non-residential commercial development, and 57 acres would be reserved for “public use,” such as schools or parks.

A long process In Pine Canyon’s case, it’s not unusual for the vetting process to be a years-long endeavor, Vargish said.

There isn’t an average timeline for how long it takes for an application to be approved or denied. Vargish explained the Pine Canyon application is complex because the property is so large.

Every change requested by the town impacts the numerous studies associated with the project, such as traffic studies or utility plans. Each needs to be reassessed with every resubmittal of the application, and that means people from several town departments getting involved.

“There’s just a lot of elements and a lot of different people who look at all the different aspects of that change,” she said. “We’re not ready yet to schedule Pine Canyon for public hearing.”

The path toward annexation Once town staff and the developers are both happy with the proposal and all its revisions, Vargish said, the application would be turned over to the town’s planning commission. The planning commission would then forward it to the town council with a recommendation to either approve or deny the application. Town council would review the application twice before officially deciding the issue.

The town averages about 2,000 new residents each year based on building permit counts, Vargish said, and she doesn’t expect that pace of growth would immediately change should the town council approve annexing Pine Canyon.

“It would be quite some time,” she said, “before there was a lot available in this development.”

There will be an open house for this project on Feb. 12 at 6 p.m. at Castle Rock Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St.

County purchases Sandstone Ranch for $18.75 million Historic property that was nearly developed is now protected as open space

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a move that surprised Douglas County’s own open space director, the county in January spent $18.75 million to acquire one of the most coveted swaths of ranch land within its boundaries, the historic Sandstone Ranch, for the purpose of preserving the land as open space.

The county closed on its purchase of the ranch, which has been in operation since the 1870s, from AR Sandstone LLC, a Texas-based company, on Jan. 18.

The 2,038-acre property borders Pike National Forest and the Front Range foothills west of Larkspur.

The landscape boasts red rock formations, a forested canyon and sprawling meadows roamed by the ranch’s cattle herd and horses.

Officials said acquiring the land is a big win in terms of preserving the county’s agricultural heritage and natural resources.

“We recognize that the Sandstone Ranch acquisition is so much more than just the preservation of 2,038 acres,” said Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge in an emailed statement. “It is the preservation of the county’s history, heritage, wildlife habitat, and other natural resources — a quality-of-life investment for present and future generations.”

Nearly developed The move by the county puts to rest development that could have occurred on the property.

At one time, the ranch was slated to become a small but bustling community. The county approved an application in 2008 from a developer with plans to divide the ranch into more than 100 lots for housing construction and equestrian facilities.

“They were talking about lakes with boat ramps and a community center and a community garden,” said Douglas County’s director of open space, Cheryl Matthews.

The project never came to fruition and the land remained largely undeveloped. The approximate 20 structures on the property are either historic — think old-fashioned red barns with outhouses — or used for the ranching operation, such as a cabin for the ranch manager to live on-site.

“It didn’t fit for development,” Partridge said. “To supply it, it would be ground basin water for a large part. We don’t have a transportation network down there.”

Although the 2008 development never panned out, the property was still being marketed to developers and private landowners before the county purchased it this year — and it was being marketed at a higher asking price of $27.6 million.

Matthews remembers the exact date,

Sandstone Ranch features unique red rock formations similar to those at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

Shaded in the canyon of Sandstone Ranch is a wood plank bridge leading to a lookout point.

Oct. 25, when she saw the ranch listed at the reduced price of $18.75 million.

She immediately sent the listing to county manager Doug DeBord, mostly as a joke, she said. Matthews didn’t expect the county would consider purchasing the land.

“It would just be the largest acquisition that we’ve ever undertaken,” she said of the open space department.

“And then (DeBord) came back and said, `I’m not kidding. I think we should do it.’”

In previous open space studies, the county had identified preserving Sandstone Ranch as a high-priority item.

The county called a special business meeting on Dec. 27 to approve pursuing the purchase. The county initially offered to purchase the ranch for less than the asking price, but a bidding war brought the amount up until the county agreed to meet the $18.75 million list price.

Approximately $9.25 million of the cost will be covered by the county’s open space fund — tax revenue legally dedicated to protecting open space.

The county is pursuing $3.5 million in Great Outdoors Colorado grants and plans to accept $6 million from the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company to cover the remaining balance of the sale.

The county’s voter-approved open space fund began collecting tax revenue in 1995 and will sunset in 2023. It generates an average of $10 million to $11 million a year.

Forming a plan In speaking with Colorado Community Media, Partridge said commissioners believed buying the land would be in line with what residents want, citing community survey results and the popularity of county open space.

Use of Douglas County open space trails grew by 30 percent from 2016 to 2017, reaching 568,000 users, Matthews said.

Castle Rock resident Inger Hiller said she’s glad to see the county will preserve Sandstone Ranch as open space.

“I am so excited as a resident,” she said. “It will be utilized for generations to come.”

PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS

Douglas County finalized its purchase of the 2,038-acre Sandstone Ranch near Larkspur on Jan. 18.

She also believes the acquisition was a smart business move. Open space, she said, is an economic booster for the county.

Hiller leads a Castle Rock hiking group that sometimes draws members from outside the county. The area’s ample open space is what attracts them to begin with, she said, and those nonresidents in turn spend money locally when the group gets drinks or food together.

“That’s our brand,” she said of Douglas County. “The open spaces in general are a money driver for the county.”

Mostly, Hiller said, she is eager to explore Sandstone Ranch.

Although the county will be opening Sandstone Ranch to the public, that likely won’t be until next year. Officials will spend most of 2018 forming a master plan for the property before the county allows visitors on site. The process includes soliciting public input and getting approval from commissioners to implement the final version.

Grief in wake of Adams County deputy shooting Many questions surround Jan. 24 shooting near Thornton

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The only thing that the Adams County Sheriff ’s Department was saying officially about a Jan. 24 shooting in the 8700 block of Dawson Street was that one of their own, 31-year-old Deputy Heath Gumm, had been shot and killed.

From Sheriff Michael McIntosh to District Attorney Dave Young, officials were silent on just about everything else they know about the shooting, from what led up to it to what kind of weapon was used.

Via Twitter on Jan. 26, the sheriff ’s office identified 22-year-old Dreion Martise Dearing as the suspected shooter, but McIntosh declined to talk about the suspect and demanded that media not use his photograph. Dearing was in court Jan. 26 facing charges of first-degree murder of a police officer, assault and burglary and was due back in court Jan. 31 for a formalcharges hearing.

It’s a sad, difficult time for his office, McIntosh said at Jan. 26 press conference, before asking the media to give deputies the weekend off from media questions.

McIntosh said police were no longer looking for two other men involved in the incident. McIntosh said deputies were able to contact the two and met with them. They have not been charged with any crime and are free, he said.

Investigators released the Dawson Street crime scene the afternoon of Jan. 26, but McIntosh said police were still speaking with potential witnesses.

McIntosh said there were no other updates and that no other information would be released over the weekend.

A funeral for Deputy Gumm has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Feb. 2 at Flatirons Community Church, 355 W. South Boulder Road in Lafayette.

McIntosh also said his department was attending three funerals for retired sheriff ’s office personnel over the weekend and into this week, including a service for former Sheriff Bill Shearer.

“The Adams County Sheriff ’s Office, right now, is grieving, we are hurting and we are doing an investigation,” McIntosh said. “We are running hard and trying to make sure we are covering all of the appropriate information that we need to cover. We need some time this weekend to make sure we are connecting the dots to everything that is going on.”

Assault reported Gumm was among the Adams County deputies who responded to reports of an assault in progress at 7 p.m.

People leave flowers on an Adams County cruiser, part of an informal memorial to Adams County Deputy Heath Gumm during a press conference at the Adams County Sheriff’s Department substation, 74th and Colorado Boulevard, on Jan. 25. Gumm was killed Jan. 24, and people began leaving mementos on a county cruiser in his honor.

HOW TO HELP The Adams County Sheriff ’s Foundation is collecting donations for Gumm’s family at adcosheriffsfoundation.org/donate The Gumm family has asked that in lieu of flowers people donate to Children’s Hospital.

Adams County Sheriff Michael McIntosh speaks with the press during an afternoon conference Jan. 25 at the sheriff’s department substation at Colorado Boulevard and 74th about the shooting a night earlier that claimed the life of one of his deputies, Heath Gumm. the area and contacted a male that matched suspect descriptions, according to the sheriff ’s office’s original news release.

According to the release, the suspect ran and deputies pursued him behind a nearby house, where he allegedly pulled out a gun and began shooting, striking Gumm in the chest.

Gumm was taken to an area hospital and pronounced dead there. Gumm lived in Westminster with his wife and family members. He had been with the Adams County Sheriff ’s Office since 2012.

McIntosh said Gumm was wearing a tactical vest that the deadly bullet bypassed.

“There are places on a vest that are not protected, and sometimes this is what we see,” McIntosh said. “Until we get further into it, we will not know what happened, whether it was a failure of the vest or if it struck an area the vest did not cover.”

The suspect, meanwhile, ran off but was later found and taken into custody. Deputies continue looking

for two other men regarding their involvement in the initial assault.

McIntosh said police had the area shut down within 30 minutes of the shooting. The neighborhood is located in unincorporated Adams County, one block east and south of Thornton’s southern municipal boundary.

It remained that way until late the afternoon of Jan. 25, with crime-scene tape and police vehicles blocking both sides of the 8700 block of Edison, Desoto and Dawson street. Police kept the middle of the block of Dawson Street isolated until they released the scene on Jan. 26.

Schools closed Mapleton Public Schools closed 11 area schools on Jan. 25 due to police actions while Adams County 12 Five Star Schools closed five of their schools for the day. All schools reopened on Jan. 26 and classes resumed.

The Adams County Sheriff ’s Office set up a public tip line, 720 322-1313, to collect information about the shooting.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper ordered flags flown at half-staff in Gumm’s honor on Jan. 25.

At the Adams County Sheriff ’s Office substation at 72nd and Colorado Boulevard, mourners and well-wishers brought food and water for deputies and built a makeshift memorial to honor Gumm.

Donated flowers, stuffed animals, balloons and candles were later moved to decorate a sheriff ’s department vehicle near the site. Families and mourners continued to come to the site over the weekend.

That outpouring was recognized by Gumm’s wife, parents and siblings.

The family issued a letter Jan. 26 thanking the community for their support.

“We have truly been amazed by the generous nature of the community,” the family said in their letter. “Our hearts are warmed by the display of compassion from complete strangers who stood, and continue to stand, alongside our family.”

McIntosh said his office had created a link off of the sheriff office’s web page (www.adamssheriff.org/deputygumm) to provide information about Gumm, the shooting, donations in his honor and upcoming memorial services.

McIntosh said the department has been working with the family to find a good venue for a memorial service.

The funeral itself has been scheduled for 11 a.m. in Lafayette’s Flatirons Community Church. That’s a non-denominational church with an auditorium that seats up to 3,000 people.

He noted that Colorado’s law enforcement community had been through a similar experience within the past month when Douglas County Sheriff ’s Deputy Zackari Parrish was shot to death by a suspect on New Year’s Eve. His Jan. 5 funeral drew more than 5,000 mourners, and McIntosh said he expected a similar response for Gumm.

“It takes a huge venue and a lot of logistics to put it together,” McIntosh said.

Patrol unit named after fallen Douglas County deputy

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Jan. 24, Douglas County Deputy Zack Parrish’s patrol vehicle went back into service for the first time since the Dec. 31 shooting that took his life. The vehicle is different — small but powerful details have been added to forever remember the fallen deputy.

Parrish, 29, was responding to a domestic dispute at a residence in the Copper Canyon Apartments, 3380 E. County Line Road, in Highlands Ranch, the morning of Dec. 31 when he was shot and killed. Four other law enforcements were wounded in what Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock called “an ambush-type of attack.”

The vehicle that belonged to Parrish, a husband and father of two young girls, now serves as a memorial of him. The license plate is marked with a small gold sheriff ’s badge and a thin blue line running through the word “Parrish.”

The sheriff ’s office announced on Facebook that Parrish’s unit, 1723, has

officially been changed to unit ZPIII, a nickname Parrish was given by his family, which stands for Zach Parrish the third. The new name has been placed on the sides and back of the vehicle.

“Sheriff Tony Spurlock has made ZPIII available for deputies on all shifts to memorialize Zack and his service to the Sheriff ’s Office and our community,” the sheriff ’s office posted, along with photos of the vehicle, on Facebook.

Community members applauded the sheriff ’s office for honoring Parrish.

The Facebook post was shared about 4,400 times in two days.

“Beautiful remembrance,” one user commented.

“This is well-considered and a splendid way to memorialize the life of a community servant who gave his all.

Well done, Sheriff Spurlock,” another user said.

“How wonderful,” one user wrote.

“You will always be remembered ZPIII.”

School board approves special education task force Group will present its findings before July 30

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the Jan. 16 Douglas County School Board meeting, several parents and teachers wearing yellow clothing, prior to taking the stand to deliver a public comment, placed yellow roses on the desks of the seven board members.

The color signified special-needs students of the school district.

“It’s kids,” said Gary Colley, a retired teacher wearing a bright yellow scarf. “I’ll wear any color for kids.”

The group in yellow attended the meeting to support an item on the agenda: forming the Special Education Advisory Task Force, which

the board ultimately approved 7-0.

Made up of district staff, parents and community members, the task force will survey parents of special-needs students and special-needs teachers on the services currently offered. It will use the results to form a report outlining the “strengths, needs and goals of current special education services and school-based services, recommendations and measures for future focus,” according to district documents.

In March 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously to set a new legal standard for special education in public schools across the country.

In the decision, Chief Justice John Roberts said that it is not enough for school districts to offer minimal instruction for special-needs children.

The school programs must be “reasonably calculated to enable a child to make progress appropriate in light of the child’s circumstances.”

The decision followed the case of Endrew F., an autistic Douglas County School District student whose parents say he wasn’t provided with the level of public education required by federal law. They sought reimbursement from the school district for the child’s tuition and related expenses at a private school. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately sided with the parents of the student.

The Douglas County School District Special Education Department provides support and development to 85 school sites, according to the district’s website. Approximately 1,225 special educators, related service providers and educational assistants attend to 6,400 special-needs students in the district. If a student meets eligibility requirements for special education, he or she will be put on an Individual Education Plan.

At the board meeting, several parents highlighted drawbacks of these services.

Kristen DeBeer is the parent of a “twice exceptional” son in 10th grade at a charter school in Highlands Ranch. She was told that her son would lose his IEP if he participated in a concurrent enrollment program at a nearby community college, which all students at the charter school are offered, she said at the school board meeting.

DeBeer filed a complaint with the Colorado Department of Education, which determined the charter school committed five violations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which guarantees a “free

appropriate public education” to all students with disabilities.

“Endorsed by the district, this charter school and its actions have put this district at great risk — risk of further legal expenditures, risk of losing funding for noncompliance with state-mandated remedies, and most importantly risk of failing to appropriately and legally support students with learning disabilities like mine,” DeBeer said. “This behavior must be stopped.”

The Special Education Advisory Task Force will present its report, as well as costs associated with its recommendations, before July 30.

Board President David Ray noted the importance of the task force looking at what is working within the district’s special education department.

“If we only go after this with what is not working, we will lose some very important information,” Ray said.

“We want to be able to replicate the stories of success.”

Board members requested that Chris Ciancio-Schor, an educator for more than 30 years, be the board’s liaison for the task force. Ciancio-Schor enthusiastically accepted. Interim Superintendent Erin Kane will select the staff member who will work with the task force. The task force will be open to the public. A regular meeting schedule is to be established.

“I have confidence that if you put people with a similar goal in a room, they will figure it out,” Ray said. “The intent of this task force is to be very focused on productivity.”

All participants must wear a helmet.

On Jan. 23, a ThunderRidge High School student bit into a Tide Pod brought by another student and had to be treated by school nurses, Douglas County School District said in a statement. The act is part of a trend coined the “Tide Pod Challenge” that has made national news headlines in recent weeks.

In the challenge, individuals record themselves biting into a small gel-like pod, commonly colored blue, green and white, filled with a mixture of detergent, stain remover and color protectant. Then they post their reaction on popular social media sites like YouTube or Facebook.

During the first two weeks of 2018, the country’s poison control centers responded to 39 reported cases of

intentional Tide Pod ingestion among 13- to 19-year-olds, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers. In the first three weeks of 2018, that number jumped to 86 cases.

Below are three things to know about the risky challenge that appears to be most popular among teenagers.

Dangers of consuming pods Laundry detergent pods contain a mix of toxic chemicals that if ingested can cause harm to the gastrointestinal tract, lungs and nervous system, according to Dr. Robert Kramer, who specializes in pediatric gastroenterology at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Depending on the amount ingested and the pH of the product, a laundry detergent pod can compromise the breathing airway, scar the esophagus, cause respiratory failure or alter mental status, said Kramer. There is “no safe way to play around with these,” he said.

School voucher program case dismissed by Colorado Supreme Court it allowed students’ parents to use state-provided, per-pupil money toward tuition at private schools, including religiously affiliated institutions.

Taxpayers for Public Education — a Colorado-based, nonprofit organization that advocates for a strong public education system, its website says — subsequently filed a lawsuit against the district to stop the voucher program.

A Denver judge halted the program that same year, but in 2013, a state appeals court reversed that decision. The state’s top court in June 2015 issued a ruling saying using public funds for religious schooling was illegal.

The district filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in September 2015.

In June of this year, the school voucher program got another look from the Colorado Supreme Court following a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on a similar case in Missouri. In the case Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer, a Missouri church sued after being

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado Supreme Court has ordered a controversial school voucher program case to be dismissed, according to a news release from the Douglas County School District. The decision was made Jan. 25, roughly six weeks after the Douglas County School Board voted to rescind the program.

“I am proud to be part of this monumental decision to end the Choice Scholarship Program,” Wendy Vogel, vice president of the school board, said in the release. “This program created huge divides in our community and did not have the support of many of our residents. Now we can focus on providing our schools with the resources needed to be successful.”

A majority board of reform-minded members first voted to approve the Choice Scholarship Program in 2011.

Designed to accommodate 500 students,

denied state funding for a preschool playground because the Missouri state Constitution forbids financially supporting a religious institution.

On June 26, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the state’s original decision violated the U.S. Constitution’s protection of the free exercise of religion by excluding churches from state programs with a secular intent.

As a result of the ruling in Missouri, the court sent back to the Colorado Supreme Court the case known as Taxpayers for Public Education v. Douglas County School District, which was tied up in court for roughly seven months.

The president of Taxpayers for Public Education released a statement following the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision.

“We are very pleased with the Court’s decision and that the misuse of public school funds to pay for private education in Douglas

County is over,” Cindy Barnard said in a Jan. 26 news release. “The dismissal of the appeal, together with the election of a new anti-voucher slate of School Board members in the Douglas County School District, ensures that the district’s focus will now turn to using public dollars to strengthen public schools.”

In the Nov. 7 school board election, voters elected four anti-reform candidates — Krista Holtzmann, Kevin Leung, Anthony Graziano and Christina Ciancio-Schor — who outwardly opposed the voucher program throughout their campaigns. They filled the seats of four reform-minded members, signaling a change in a majority board that espoused policies that, to many people, caused an exodus of teachers in recent years.

At a special meeting on Dec. 4, the new board voted to rescind the Choice Scholarship Program.

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

have a suggestion: Do not eat laundry pods.However, if you use noodle soup to clean the tub, I may be wasting my time In 2017, there were more than 12,000 calls to U.S. Poison Control because of exposure to laundry pods.

They come in colorful wrappers and may look like delicious, fruity candy. However, most of the items sold on the very same aisle, things like disinfectants and grout cleaners, are not intended for consumption.

Someone said we eat with our eyes first. I know what it means, but it still sounds absurd.

There are words of warning on every box of pods. There are words of warning on dry cleaning bags too.

“Don’t put this bag over your head, and then sit down and read a book.”

Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.

Half the fun of life is learning things the hard way.

Don’t run around with scissors. You’ve heard that expression. I have never met anyone who ran around with scissors. However, I have met someone who has gone swimming almost immediately after eating a full meal.

Me. Some people are exceptionally cautious, and some people throw caution out the window.

The Wallendas, for example. I am very thankful I was not born into that family.

I am thankful my father did not do a lot of things that I might have been trained or tempted to do. He could have been a wing walker. I don’t even like to be inside an airplane.

Wing walking was popular in the 1920s.

Walkers would walk on airplanes that were right side up and upside down.

No one is going to say that I lived a life of gusto and verve. I don’t drive fast, or admire anyone who does.

I have never walked on the wild side. However, I once tried a Burrito Supreme.

I also spent a few tense minutes on The 10 in southern California, driving a Volkswagen that was on fire. It wasn’t intentional.

The circus is — or was — full of daredevils, as they are called. I don’t even want to walk down an icy driveway.

Men have been shot out of cannons.

I have shot out of meetings with motivational speakers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR We have a super choice In response to the writer of the letter “Crucial decision looms” I guess it wasn’t enough to elect board members who claim antipathy to school choice.

This is a principle, by the way, spreading throughout our country. Now they apparently want to spend a good deal of money to find a superintendent who espouses their philosophy.

How about selecting an individual who has a track record for excellence in education. Someone who is an advocate for the students who are the “customers” of our educational system. I believe we have that person in our current superintendent. We don’t need a politician — we need an innovator and person with an open mind. Please keep this in mind during your selection process.

Don’t blame the gun It is always interesting to hear the constant blame on the gun, not the person pulling the trigger. In the hands of a mentally deranged person, any gun is a killing machine. I have owned about every type of legal firearm for over 60 years, for target shooting and personal defense of my family and my country, if needed. I certainly have a problem with these people who would like to deprive law-abiding citizens the right to own certain types of guns they don’t approve of.

I proudly own an AR-15, used for target shooting, not innocent civilians.

Tell you what, Mr.Legg, you choose your road, I shall choose mine. Don’t go after folks who use guns for legal or sporting purposes.

CW Caston Parker Gun letter was on target I was moved by letter writer Roy Legg’s sane and common sense comments regarding Sheriff Spurlock. I could not agree with him more. Both my current husband of 20 years, along with my former husband, my adult son and our dear firefighter neighbor own guns and hunt. Hunting with his Dad was a bonding, learning experience for our son. All of these hunters are schooled in gun safety and eat whatever they kill.

Regulating guns and ownership is not about taking away all guns and never will be. This is America, after all!

When will people in power wake up and call for sane laws to rid this country of the true enemy — guns that are meant to kill people, masses of people, kindergartners! The NRA should not have the power of influence it has now.

They are really supporting the industry that sells arms — to anyone, mentally fit or not, to terrorists. Yes, terrorists. A multi-billion dollar industry.

Thank you Roy Legg for your sane words, for your historic family. A true American in every good sense of the word.

LIVING AND AGING WELL

Karie Erickson

L

Resources and services allow seniors to age in place

et’s face it: We’re getting older. Very soon one in four residents will be over the age of 60 here in Douglas County.

And for the first time in human history, there will be more older adults than young children in the global population.

Adults aged 65 and over will begin to outnumber children under the age of 5, according to a recent report by the U.S. Census Bureau.

What does it mean to be a senior in 2018?

How do you navigate the many channels of aging, and how do you age successfully?

When you ask, most older adults want to stay independent for as long as possible, remain in their homes, maintain social connections and enjoy the quality of life they’ve always had.

New data suggests that for most seniors, quality of life is at the top of that list. But what about when that quality of life is challenged — maintaining independence can sometimes be difficult even in the healthiest of seniors.

Nationally, 6 million adults age 65 and older have a disability that prevents them from leaving their homes without help, and 51

percent of people age 75 and older live alone.

Older adults who no longer drive can quickly become isolated. They make fewer trips to their doctors and the grocery store and can lose their social connections. Isolated seniors are at a higher risk of health issues, elder abuse, fraud and scams, according to the AARP Foundation.

A recent study on health compared social isolation to smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Other data links loneliness to a bigger predictor of mortality than obesity or heart disease. Top risk factors for isolation include lack of accessible and affordable transportation (no longer driving), health issues such as untreated hearing loss, dementia, lack of mobility and frailty, which interfere with social connectedness. Life transitions, such as retirement, becoming a caregiver or losing a spouse or friends also contribute, as well as living in a rural area.

As we age, living in our own homes can become more of a challenge, especially when health conditions prevent you from keeping up with yard work and maintenance. Even

changing out a light bulb or smoke alarm batteries can be daunting when it involves a ladder and you’ve got mobility issues. HOAs want snow cleared from the sidewalk, and you’re recovering from knee replacement surgery. But even with these challenges, the overwhelming majority of seniors say they wish to “age in place.” And living in your own home still might be the best option if you have some help.

What helps many seniors in our county is a connection to an aging resource center; a place to get and give information regarding the issues seniors are facing today and receiving help in navigating those issues. Neighbor Network, the county’s only nonprofit aging resource center, is a place to get information on services, links to providers and connections to resources, and to receive direct services, such as transportation, home maintenance and companionship. The organization receives hundreds of calls each week and has SEE ERICKSON, P39

share with you how he or she lived?”

As people pass away, the reasons or causes aren’t nearly as important as how the person spent their time here on earth. Who were they? What did they do? What were they passionate about? How did they bring joy to others? How did they serve this world?

What was the most amazing memory you have of that person? You see, how they passed away isn’t the story, the story is how they lived.

Let me share with you a story of someone who was very close to me and my family. Her name was Dr. Jill Pechacek. She was our family doctor for more than 17 years. You may have known Dr. Jill and maybe even know how she passed away. But instead of talking about how she passed, is it OK if I share with you how she lived?

“Every office visit began with a hug

and a smile. These were genuine hugs and smiles. Each office visit included caring and thoughtful questions.

Any time spent with Dr. Jill felt like she truly cared for you. She served hundreds of patients, but when she was with you she made you feel like you were her only patient. I was traveling on business in Mexico a few years ago and unfortunately became very sick, ending up in a hospital in Monterrey, Mexico. We called Dr. Jill and she literally stayed up through the night speaking with the doctors at the hospital. She made sure I was OK to travel and that I was OK. Not an on-call doctor, she personally stayed with me by telephone all night long.

“There must be hundreds of patients with similar stories because that is how Dr. Jill lived. How she lived was with love, kindness, caring, genuine sincerity, smiles, hugs, wisdom and warmth. She lived with intentional and focused love for her children, she lived as a proud mom.

I could have easily just told you how

she passed away with two words and been done with it. But I would have missed out on an opportunity to share with you who she was and how she lived. And I would have missed the warmth that fills my heart and the tears of love and appreciation that are rolling down my cheek right now as I tell you how she lived.”

Someday, hopefully a long time from now, someone will ask someone else how we passed away. And wouldn’t it be great if they would stop and say, “Can I first share with you how they lived?” And then when they share how we lived, what will that sound like? Will they say we lived with purpose, passion, and joy?

Will they say we were awesome loving spouses and parents? Will they say we lived as a loving servant to God? Will they say how we made them laugh, helped them fulfill their dreams, listened to them when they needed us most? Will they say we were a difference maker in their life? Will they say we filled them with faith, hope, and

love? Or will they say something else about us?

If we think about this right now, and if we really don’t like what we think people might say about how we lived, there is still time to change that. I mean, if you are reading this column right now there is still time for sure.

The wrong question to ask is, “How did they pass away?” The right question to ask is, “Can you tell me how they lived?”

So how about you? Are you creating memories for others who will one day happily share how you lived? I bet you are and I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com.

And when we can remember and then share how our friends and loved ones lived, it really will be a better than good week.

Anglers along Front Range have opportunity to hone different set of skills

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There’s a lot to know to have a successful ice fishing trip, but one thing is really important to know, particularly for first timers — ice is noisy.

Stepping out onto Lakewood’s Bear Creek Lake Park for one of its ice fishing 101 courses, instructors are quick to calm first timers when the sounds of the ice moving and cracking starts occurring.

“I tell people that it’s never 100 percent safe going ice fishing, ut as long as the

ice is at least 3.5 to 5 inches thick, you should be fine,” said Luke Wilson, one of Bear Creek’s rangers. “And these sounds are actually good — it’s the sound of ice expanding.”

During the winter months, there are places along the Front Range and in the mountains where anglers can still engage in their favorite hobby — Bear Creek Lake Park, Chatfield and Cherry Creek Reservoirs, and Evergreen Lake.

“The ice is not monitored for safety and fishing is entirely at the anglers’ own risk,” said Drew Sprafke, park supervisor of Bear Creek Lake Park.

This is a constant at most ice fishing lakes. “All state fishing laws apply and are enforced, including bag limits, fishing licenses, no ice fishing holes over 10 inches in diameter, and no vehicles are allowed on the ice.”

ritish Prime Minister Winston Churchill once had a simple explanation for his success.

“Never stand up when you can sit down.”

In that spirit, the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Boulevard, is kicking off 2018 by examining how local artists are influenced by what they sit COMING on when contemplating ATTRACTIONS and working on their creations.

Running through April 1, “in SITu” features three gallery exhibitions that that examine the artistry of chairs — From the Artist’s Perspective in the Main Gallery, Art Chair Clarke Reader Auction in the Upper Gallery, and Chairs from the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art in the Theatre Gallery.

“We all have elements in our studio that follow us wherever we go, and our chairs, stools or whatever, are one of these constants in the workshop,” said Patrick Marold, one of the artists who contributed to the Artist’s Perspective and Art Chair Auction exhibits. “I think this show is a great idea, because it highlights an object that may not be particularly special, but is important to the artist themselves.”

The auction is made up of IKEA IVAR chairs that have been decorated and designed by 50 artists, including departments at the center, like props and design. All the chairs are for sale, with the money supporting the center.

Interested buyers have until March 31 to put in offers.

“Chairs are one of those common elements in everyone’s life that we connect with without realizing it,” said Kristin Bueb, exhibition coordinator at the center. “We have chairs that are functional for people who want to actually use them, and we also have sculptural creations.”

The chairs in the Theatre Gallery are designer chairs from Denver’s Kirkland Museum. Notable designers include Charles and Ray Eames, Frank Gehry, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Perhaps the most interesting of the exhibits is From the Artist’s Perspective, which encourages visitors to sit in the 29 artists’ chairs, and look at a piece they created. Not only does this encourage a deeper examination of the work, but it invites the visitor to think about the creative process.

“I think looking at all these chairs gives the viewer a window into each artist,” Marold said. “It’s a very relatable show, because it highlights an object we all have experiences with.”

‘Sense and Sensibility’ takes to the stage The art exhibit isn’t the only way the Arvada Center is starting off they year right. “Sense and Sensibility,” the second show in the center’s repertory theater season, opened Jan. 26.

Based on Jane Austen’s classic novel, the show runs through May 6 in the Black Box Theatre.

And while the show may be set 200 years ago, it still feels vital and relevant.

“There wasn’t a moment during rehearsal where I didn’t understand what was going on — the social norms may be different, but it’s still a vibrantly human story,” Collins said.

“Young women, then and now, are so familiar with being worried about what the world thinks of them and being judged.”

The show kicks off the center’s repertory season in earnest, which allows audiences to see the same actors and creative team stretch themselves in

Until recently, John Laitinen didn’t like Christmas.

The Castle Rock man suffers from hearing loss, possibly because of his six years as a U.S. Army engineer or his later career working on race cars, both involving loud work environments. Whatever the reason, he could no longer hear Christmas music as in years past.

This Christmas was different.

A week before the holiday, Laitinen, 76, learned Accent on Hearing, a clinic in Castle Rock specializing in hearing loss and fitting people with hearing aids, was giving him a pair of refurbished hearing aids.

“I was stunned,” he said.

Going forward, Laitinen will be able to hear the Christmas music he’d come to miss. He’ll be able to clearly hear his wife, Debbie, who said his hearing loss affected their daily lives.

“I don’t have to yell at the top of my lungs, ‘Dinner’s ready,’” Debbie said.

Ultimately, Laitinen said, the hearing aids have given him “a new lease on life.”

A giving tradition The Laitinens are but one family who has received such a donation from Accent on Hearing. Each Christmas, the company gives trade-in hearing aids to people who cannot afford them.

Donations made around Christmas, like the one to Laitinen, are part of the company’s “HEAR for the Holidays” program, which started a few years ago as a way to give back to the community, founder and director Joanne LaPorta said. The company also donates to people outside of the holiday season and connects them with programs helping people in need of hearing aids, which cost anywhere $1,500 to more than $6,000 and are not typically covered by health insurance.

Accent on Hearing announced in November it worked alongside the HearStrong Foundation to help a woman who lost her hearing during cancer treatments receive a new pair of hearing aids.

And years ago, they helped Memphis Oldham, now 13, also from Castle Rock, upgrade from an old pair to a newer, more advanced set.

Children typically need the more advanced, and consequently more expensive, hearing aids because of their active lifestyles, LaPorta said. To help Oldham, who was born nearly deaf, Accent on Hearing referred him and his family to The HearStrong Foundation, which negotiates with manufacturers to donate hearing aids to people in need.

Oldham had relied on analog hearing aids, which only amplify sounds,

for several years. As a newborn, doctors initially told his parents his hearing loss was so significant hearing aids wouldn’t help, that he would never speak and would need to learn sign language.

When he was 4 months old, they decided to give hearing aids a try anyway.

“The second they put them on him Memphis’ eyes started blinking and we knew he could hear,” his mother Lynnea said. “I cried like a big old baby.”

The pair was old, but they stuck with what they could get until LaPorta helped the family get Memphis digital hearing aids when he was 6 years old through Hearstrong. Unlike analog hearing aids, digital varieties don’t simply amplify sounds, according the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They instead convert sounds into digital sound waves to create an exact replication of the noises around someone. Digital hearing aids also have more options for programming and can eliminate more background noise.

“The difference was just amazing,” Lynnea said.

Now he can hear crickets, chirping birds and frogs. He can tell which direction sounds come from and no longer hears static in the background like he did with the analog hearing aids.

The help from Accent on Hearing was crucial, Lynnea said, because insurance rarely covers hearing aids.

“You pray every day they don’t break down,” Lynnea said of his analog hearing aids.

Costly treatment How many pairs the company donates to community members depends on how many nominations it receives for HEAR for the Holidays and how many refurbished hearing aids it collects throughout the year, typically from other patients who are upgrading their set.

It’s a big deal to the families, staff said, explaining families often don’t have the thousands of dollars needing to purchase hearing aids.

Four Chaplains service slated

“It’s really quite alarming that people would do this on purpose — kids and teenagers who are really old enough to know better,” said Kramer, adding that the behavior is typically seen in toddlers who mistake the pods for candy.

Addressing the issue The CEO of P&G, the parent company of Tide, released a statement on Jan. 22 voicing his concerns over the new challenge.

“As a father, seeing recent examples of young people intentionally take part in self-harming challenges like ingesting large amounts of cinnamon or the so-called ‘Tide Pods Challenge’ is extremely concerning,” David Taylor said, first referring to a viral food challenge that hit the internet in 2001.

Tide is being proactive in stopping the trend by “ensuring social media networks are removing videos that glorify this harmful behavior” and “partnering with advocacy and industry groups to help spread the word that this is dangerous behavior not to be copied,” Taylor said.

Tide has released a public service announcement, in which Robert Gronkowski, a professional football player for the New England Patriots, urges people to not eat Tide Pods and to use the pods for their sole purpose: laundry.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

SM

Talk to your kids Dr. Jenna Glover, licensed psychologist and director of psychology training at Children’s Hospital Colorado, encourages parents to have an ongoing conversation with their kids about social media engagement. Parents should directly talk to their children about the “Tide Pod Challenge” and its dangers, she said.

She recommends asking: Have you thought about doing it?

What are your thoughts about it?

What can we do to support you?

“We know that when you are talking about dangerous things, it actually decreases their risk of engaging in those behaviors,” Glover said.

Common Sense Media, a website that provides unbiased information on media and technology, also recommends that parents first talk to their kids about these sorts of challenges that come to life on social media.

Parents should help their children weigh the potential risks and acknowledge the peer pressure aspect that oftentimes accompanies a viral internet challenge.

care guidelines and Medicare doesn’t see hearing aids as durable medical equipment,” said Elizabeth Martinez, a doctor of audiology at Accent on Hearing. “Medicare doesn’t want to cover something that would need to be fixed or replaced.”

The cost can create a barrier between patients and the hearing aids best suited to their needs. The devices work on a prescription basis, and must be tailored to a patient’s level of hearing loss. Fitting someone with hearing aids involves several checkups and specialized equipment to evaluate a person’s quality of hearing while using hearing aids, and if they need to be adjusted.

The more expensive hearing aids are more technologically advanced and geared toward individuals with active lifestyles, such as children or business professionals who attend numerous meetings a day, Martinez said. “Hearing aids are not a one-size-fits-all.”

The difference hearing aids make isn’t as simple as hearing more clearly, staff said. Untreated hearing loss often leads to more serious conditions.

“Think of walking around with ear plugs and being in a situation where people were trying to talk to you,” Martinez said. “You’re trying to pay so much attention to what they say because you can’t hear them, to a point where people stop wanting to repeat themselves and where you stop wanting to listen. So, you run into depres-

sion and isolation.”

Prolonged isolation and depression can eventually contribute to dementia, LaPorta said, although a person’s overall quality of life declines in numerous ways.

“You can get depressed, become anxious, you can become nervous because you might not be able to hear sirens coming,” she said. “If you’re not hearing very well you stop doing things like going to a restaurant because you can’t follow a conversation.”

Hearing the ‘sounds of life’ Laitinen noticed his hearing loss becoming more significant in October, he said. Eating at a restaurant, for example, meant straining to hear those around him against a sea of background noise.

“All it would sound liked was a big wave, gibberish, so it really took the joy out of going anywhere,” he said.

Before receiving his donated pair, Laitinen was fitted with a temporary pair of hearing aids. Putting them on was “like magic,” he said. He didn’t want to give them back. Then he learned the pair he was testing cost $3,000 each.

“Six thousand dollars is a lot of money. I didn’t have it,” he said, “didn’t want to spend it.”

Which is why HEAR for the Holidays can make such a difference in people’s lives, company staff say.

“It’s eye-opening, often times it’s dramatic,” LaPorta said. “They’re hearing things they haven’t really heard, like a clock ticking or a fan blowing. It’s not always these beautiful sounds. Sometimes it’s just the sounds of life.”

Stock show touts near-record attendance STAFF REPORT

The recently concluded 112th National Western Stock Show boasted the second highest attendance in the show’s history, with 705,574 visitors, according to a stock show news release.

The largest stock show attendance was in 2006 for the 100th anniversary, with 726,972 people.

“We appreciate every person, young and old, from near and far that came out to make memories with us,” Paul Andrews, president and CEO of the National Western Stock Show, said in the news release.

“To host over 700,000 guests in 16 days is tremendous, not to mention historic.”

The National Western Scholarship Trust is funded by three primary sources, and each source had “a remarkable year,” according to the news release.

The Junior Livestock Auction had

a record year, raising $916,250 with a percentage of the total going to fund the Scholarship Trust. The Citizen of the West dinner, honoring Dr. Tony Frank, sold out the Events Center arena floor. The Coors Western Art exhibit had “a great year,” and a portion of the proceeds fund the Scholarship Trust.

All three of those events will produce enough revenue to fund a projected 100 scholarships throughout Colorado and Wyoming for students studying the fields of agriculture and rural medicine.

“The success of our show is due to the dedication and hard work of over 800 volunteers, the support of the City of Denver, the Board of Directors, our sponsor partners, the livestock and rodeo committees, and the amazing rodeo and stock show fans that come out every year to celebrate the western tradition we call the National Western Stock Show,” Andrews said.

FISHING FROM PAGE 16

One of the draws for ice fishing aficionados is the simplicity, the challenge, and how inexpensive the sport is.

“You don’t need a whole lot to have a good time ice fishing,” said Austin Parr, manager of Discount Fishing Tackle, 2645 S. Santa Fe Drive in Denver, which is a regional hub for fishing equipment, guided tours and regionally specific tackle. “There’s a lot of good access for fishers in the area, and I love the challenge of trying to catch different fish in these lakes.”

Some common fish that anglers are on the hunt for include rainbow trout, yellow perch, walleye and saugeye.

Some of the basic equipment necessary for ice fishing include a small snow shovel, a scoop for removing ice, a spud bar or ice chisel, and the requisite fishing gear — a fishing rod, reels, and tackle. Those looking for a more advanced experience can splurge on everything from underwater cameras and digital sonar to ice huts, personal heaters, and GPS devices.

“For safety, we recommend you don’t go ice fishing alone, or if you do, be sure to tell someone when and where you’re going,” said Tony Dymek, with the Colorado Division of Wildlife. “People also need to think about warmth. In addition to warm clothes, fishers may want to think about heaters. Being warm makes the difference between a positive fishing experience and a negative one.”

The internet has become a major

help to ice fishers, as they now can check ice conditions at lakes before they head out, and they can download lake maps that provide information on depth locations. Different fish species spend their time at different depths, and anglers hoping for a particular catch can benefit a lot from these maps.

“My favorite part of ice fishing is

targeting specific fish, like walleye,” Parr said.

“You want to look out for drop-off points and structures in the lake that fish might hang out in.”

As with many outdoor activities, if parents get their children hooked on ice fishing young, it can become a lifelong passion.

“My son Rider has never been ice W fishing before, but he’s big into other kinds of fishing, so we wanted to give this a try,” said Travis Jackson of Broomfield, who was out on Bear Creek Lake during the park’s class.

“He already thinks he’s a big-time fisherman, so this is a great way to spend time with him.”

irst off, I have to declare that I believe most professional football, basketball and baseball seasons are too long.

I’ve always complained that the baseball regular season drags on and the “dog days of summer” seem endless and don’t end in August. The season should close by the OVERTIME middle of September so the World Series could start the first week of October.

However, I have also vowed the Colorado high school baseball season is too short and more games are needed.

Jim Benton Yes, that is contradictory, but high school players need additional prep games and a chance to enjoy high school rather than heading off to play club baseball.

In one of the changes adopted by the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Legislative Council on Jan. 25, baseball will be allowed to play four more games to reach a 23-game regular season schedule in Class 3A, 4A and 5A, but not until the 2019 season.

Maximum regular season games in northern states with spring weather similar to Colorado compete in between 22-25 games a season, so it was better late than never for Colorado to catch up.

In 2019 the season will be extended one week and the 3A, 4A and 5A state championships will be held the weekend after Memorial Day, and it is possible the fickle spring Colorado weather will be nice.

Now, the equity committee has recommended that the maximum number of softball games should also be increased, and that possibility still has to be addressed.

Among other changes that were approved, the start of the football season for 2018 will be moved up a week to Aug. 6 and Class 5A will have a 24-team playoff bracket instead of the 16-team format.

The additional week provides a needed bye week for 6-man through 4A teams and the top eight teams in 5A will get an off week during the first round of the playoffs.

Thankfully, the proposed new football league alignments were approved.

All five classes at the state volleyball tournament will have 12-team Olympic crossover bracket instead of pool play.

That means double elimination until SEE BENTON, P26

Defense helps former Valor star get his shot at Pitt Guard Khameron Davis is making his mark at the Division I level

BY DAVID DRIVER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Khameron Davis is known for his strong work ethic as a tough defender for the men’s basketball team at the University of Pittsburgh.

The former Valor Christian standout gets that sense of urgency from his mother, Maxine Pryor, who is from Jamaica. He said she has worked 12hour shifts in the past and is starting her own business.

“It definitely comes from my mother,” Davis said. “She has always been a hard worker.

“That is the reason I play defense.

Defense is 90 percent heart, in my opinion. That is what I do on the defensive end.”

Davis is a key freshman guard for the Panthers.

In a recent loss to Virginia Tech in Atlantic Coast Conference play, Davis had eight points, one steal and one assist in 29 minutes as a starter.

Davis moved from Texas to Colorado when he was in sixth grade and attended Thunder Ridge Middle School in Aurora.

He also attended Fox Ridge Middle School in Aurora and later played basketball at Valor Christian, where he averaged 14.7 points and five rebounds per contest while earning second-team all-state honors.

Davis then played prep hoops at Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas and then at Forest Trail Academy in North Carolina, where he averaged 17 points, six rebounds, three assists and 2.5 steals per contest.

Davis played several years of AAU ball in the Denver area for coach Chauncey Billups Elite and won a national title in 2015 for the former NBA star.

“It was an amazing experience,” Davis said.

“I learned a lot and continue to take it with me, even now. I was very thankful for that experience.”

Among his AAU teammates were Luke Neff, a sophomore at the University of Denver who played at Arvada West High; Justin Bassey, a Harvard sophomore who went to Colorado Academy; and University of Colorado freshman Dallas Walton, a product of Arvada West High.

Davis did not receive a lot of Division I attention but found a home at Pittsburgh.

“I really didn’t make another visit.

I felt like Pitt was the right fit,” Davis said.

“I knew if I came here they would look after me. I decided to make the leap. I am very thankful the coaches have given me (a shot). I can’t say I knew I was going to get 20 minutes (a game). I have been playing a long time.”

Davis played in the first 16 games,

ranked seventh, hosted top-ranked Regis Jesuit Jan. 30 and then faces a Heritage team that is winless in the Continental League at home on Feb. 2.

• The wrestling team took a step toward winning its second consecutive Continental League dual meet championship with a 41-34 victory over Ponderosa on Jan. 25. On Jan. 27, Randy Myers won the 132-pound championship at the Mile High Classic wrestling tournament held at Thomas Jefferson High School.

• It didn’t take long for the hockey team to show how much they had improved since a 10-3 loss to Pueblo County on Dec. 9.

Nick Pedersen scored the first of his two goals only 32 seconds into the first period on Jan. 26 and the Sabercats went on to defeat the Hornets, 2-1, handing Pueblo County its first league loss of the season. Cameron Craig had two goals in a 4-3 win over Mullen on Jan. 27.

with nine starts, and was averaging 5.6 points and 2.5 rebounds per contest.

He was shooting 51.7 percent from the field and made 16 of his first 30 shots from 3-point range.

“There is always room for improvement,” Davis said. “I am not going to be satisfied until we win a championship.

“One of the biggest things for me is learning. We are a very new team. We are in a constant state of learning. For me, I always want to win. I have not been on a losing team for a long time.”

How does Davis manage Division I athletics with academics?

“Obviously, everything is harder at this level,” Davis said. “Basketball is a strain on your body. Good time management and managing your time right (is key). You have to sacrifice time with people.”

The Board of Directors must approve a new sport or activity for a piloting process.

• The hockey team has won 11 consecutive games and has outscored opponents 82-9 during the streak. The Eagles, ranked third in the state and the Highlands Conference leader, plays second place Pueblo County this week on Feb. 3 at the Ice Ranch in Littleton.

• Valor’s boys basketball team, first in the Jeffco 4A league and No. 6 in the CHSAANow.com poll, meets No. 3 Golden on Feb. 2 at Golden. In the first meeting this season between the teams, the Eagles notched a 56-53 victory. The No. 7 girls basketball team also plays at No. 5 Golden on Feb. 2 and the Eagles also won the first game between the schools, 55-53.

tioned was spiked by last April when the Classification and League Organizing Committee voted not to open the sport’s proposal, so the Legislative Council never considered adopting boys volleyball.

And the Legislative Council gave the OK for schools to participate in a Foundation Benefit Contest beyond the maximum game limit.

Public comment at the Dec. 27 special meeting was almost entirely in favor of the acquisition, although some residents from neighboring subdivisions worried placing the public entrance to the ranch too near the Perry Park subdivision entrance could create traffic issues once it opens to the public. Matthews said the master plan will identify the best location for an entrance.

“It’s a blank sheet at this point in time. We’re looking at all different kinds of public use,” Matthews said.

Officials do have a rough vision of what the master plan will look like.

The county already knows it will limit public access on Sandstone Ranch to “non-motorized use,” meaning visitors can strap on their hiking boots or gear up their mountain bike but will have to leave rigs like the ATV at home.

The master plan will likely approve continuing the ranching operation, maintenance for the historical structures, a forest management plan and educational programming.

‘What Douglas County used to be’ To prepare for the master plan,

Craddock, 56, was once an assistant football coach at Northglenn and head coach at Thornton. In 2000 he was Legacy’s first tennis coach and for the past six seasons was an assistant football coach for the Lightning.

He served as Legacy’s interim head football coach while head coach Wayne Voorhees and several assistants recovered from injuries suffered in a 2016 bus crash at Denver International Airport.

officials are starting to evaluate the property.

On Jan. 23, Douglas County land management specialist Michael Butterfield drove his ranger truck across snow-covered Sandstone Ranch grounds, past the cattle herd, high up over lookout points and into the forested canyon on the property.

He was still getting acquainted with the ranch.

There is a lot to take in, he said.

So far, Butterfield had determined the land is Butterfield unique from the rest of Douglas County’s open space. The sheer size of the ranch stands out, he said, along with the number of structures on the property.

As a county employee, he saw the ranch, in part, as work. They’ll need to manage the forest for pests and wildfire hazards, and decide if cabins are suitable to rent and if they’ll need to install trails in addition to gravel roads already there.

As a resident raised on a ranch in western Douglas County, however, Butterfield also saw a glimpse of the old Douglas County, before the state’s population boom and Douglas County grew more urban.

“This is really a remnant,” he said, “of what Douglas County used to be.”

payments made in a purchase agreement with myself regarding real property located at 1725 Carleton Drive, Turlock, California, 95382, (hereinafter, “Property”), as required by the agreement.

4. On or about July 3, 2013, Plaintiff and Defendants entered into a “Residential Lease or Month-to-Month Rental Agreement” (hereinafter, “Lease”) concerning Property. The parties also, in conjunction with the Lease, entered into other agreements memorialized by a standard California Association of Realtors Option Agreement (hereinafter, “Option Agreement”), a California Residential Purchase Agreement, and Joint Escrow Instructions (hereinafter, “Purchase Agreement”). The Option Agreement called for a down payment of $50,000.00, referred to in the Purchase Agreement as “Option Money.” Plaintiff paid that amount to Defendants on July 15, 2013. The Lease Agreement called for monthly rental payments of $2,300.00 per month, of which $300.00 per month would be added to the down payment. To date, Plaintiff have paid a total down payment of $52,325.00.

5. On or about March 1, 2014, the parties modified their agreement to cancel the purchase of the Property by Plaintiff to allow Defendants to sell the Property to another party. The Memorandum to the Option Agreement and Addendum to the Option Agreement (hereinafter, “Modification”), called for the down payment money paid by Plaintiff to be refunded from the proceeds of the sale of Property from escrow, and with any remaining balance to be paid within two years of sale.

6. After the Modification was signed by all parties, Defendants did accept an offer on the Property. The Defendants opened an escrow account on the Premises on or about March 17, 2014, with Stewart Title Company.

7. Plaintiff properly registered the claim on the escrow with Stewart Title Company. The payment from escrow was only going to provide some $20,000.00 toward the claim, but some is better than nothing, and the Modification then called for the balance to be paid over the next two years.

8. Thereafter, Defendants shut down their escrow with Stewart Title, and moved the escrow to Old Republic Title. The escrow was completed and closed only three days later.

9. Defendants did not inform Plaintiff of the change in escrow companies, nor did they instruct the new company to pay the legitimate claim of the Plaintiffs.

10. Thus, Plaintiff did not receive any payment from escrow as agreed, nor has she received any payment from Defendants toward the refund of the down payment.

11. In addition to the failure to pay, the Plaintiff has been unable to buy another house because she lacks the down payment. The prices for homes has risen sharply in the last two years, and the failure of the Defendants to pay as agreed has kept the Plaintiff from participating in the increase in value a home purchased two years ago has undergone.

12. On or about August 2, 2016, Plaintiff and her then-husband Daniel Curry divorced due to irreconcilable differences. The stress and strain from the loss of Plaintiff’s entire life savings was a direct cause of her divorce. She lost her husband of fifteen (15) years primarily, though not solely, due to incredible strain this financial loss created.

13. Worse, Plaintiff has suffered nightmares, nights of insomnia, and other symptoms of depression due to the loss of such a large sum.

14. I am in need of this Ex Parte hearing because I need the money that Defendants agreed to pay, to secure my financial security.
