Finding the balance between charter and neighborhood schools

n a school district in which the word “choice” has become something of a mantra, nearly one in five students attends a charter school.

To some, that represents progress by expanding educational options

for parents and students. To others, it means a growing intrusion on traditional neighborhood schools, visible in dropping enrollment at elementary levels and the subsequent loss of money and programs for those classrooms.

For the 2016-17 school year, the

CAROLINE DOUGLAS

Owner of Castle Rock’s Aspen Grove Salon plans cosmetology school Growing up I was born in England, but then when I was about 5 or 6 I moved to the north of Scotland. I spent about 10 or 11 years in Scotland. I actually spent three years in the Shetland Islands — Viking country. That was pretty miserable up there. There wasn’t a single tree on the whole island because it was so windy. Then I was back down in Scotland for a bit and when I was the equivalent of high school, I was 15, my parents moved to the south of England. By the time I finally got there I was on my 12th school.

Arriving in America So then after that, work-wise, I was an accountant and then I was doing hair as well. When I was 28 years old I had my oldest kiddo and then when he was 2 years old we moved. Actually moved to Tucson, Arizona. I was there for three years and had two more kids.

I couldn’t work, I didn’t have a work visa, which is really hard to get. While we were there we applied for a green card and it came in. I wasn’t really liking Tucson too much. So we moved here. We started off in Franktown. I was working a little bit part-time, and homeschooling the kids. Then unfortunately in 2006 got divorced. So, moved to Castle Rock.

Becoming the Brady Bunch In 2006 I met my current husband and he had four kids and I had three so that makes seven. They always say

you’re like the Brady Bunch plus one.

So here we are then trying to run a household with nine people in it and I thought I’m going to see if we can open a hair salon. We did and that was in 2007.

The hair industry is difficult. You do it because you love it. It’s very difficult to make a living at it. We had people asking, ‘Are you ever going to think about doing nails,’ but we just didn’t have the space. I love to coach and I love to mentor. So I thought, if we could move into a bigger space, maybe we could think of having a cosmetology school. I’m working on the licensing for the school. And we’ll just be small.

No more than 12 students. One thing I’ve learned over the years is it’s super hard to learn your trade without having a good coach.

My advice For me, I create my own fulfillment, my own happiness. I’m the author of my own book. If didn’t like a particular chapter I write a new one.

Town council responds to calls for elected mayor Officials split on issue, agree to consult constituents

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In recent weeks, members of a committee in Castle Rock called “Citizens for Elected Mayor” have attended town council meetings, imploring councilmembers to research implementing a change that would allow town residents to vote for mayor.

The idea of an at-large mayor has longtime support from the likes of former Mayor Randy Reed and current Councilmember George Teal.

As of now, the mayor is elected by a vote of the seven-member town council, in which public comment is not allowed. Changing that process would require amending the town charter, something that requires voter approval.

On March 7, the committee heard what they’d been waiting for — the council officially discussed the group’s proposal and agreed to consult with constituents on the issue.

Council also instructed town staff to return with a report in May review-

ing the requirements to run for town council.

And although the acknowledgment landed well with committee members, it came too late, they said.

The group —which is led by a committee of four town residents — intends to pursue a petition within the next few weeks in an effort to get the issue on the ballot.

Committee Chairman Wayne Harlos explained their priority is having a question before the voters by the November election. Waiting until May would not give them enough time to petition if the council takes no action at that time, he said.

“We need to have the position of mayor an accountable and elected position,” Harlos said March 8.

He also believes council had ample time to address the issue before March 7.

“They kept ignoring it and ignoring it and ignoring it,” he said.

A split council Teal has supported switching to an at-large system since the early 2000s, and has never been shy to mention the idea in council meetings. He’s agreed to be one of the petitioners if the effort goes forward.

And the cause has gained another supporter in District 1 Councilmember Jess Loban.

But Loban cautioned against making a hasty decision.

“I just don’t want to toss it out and say, `Look, what we do now is fine,’ and go forward. What we do now is OK and it does work, and there are huge municipalities that do the same thing we do,” Loban told council March 7. “But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing for us and our citizens.”

District 4 Councilmember Jason Bower said he was open to discussing the idea. Although Bower remained neutral during the council’s March 7 discussion, he encouraged councilmembers to help educate constituents on the mayoral election process.

“I think,” Bower said, “we really need to do our due diligence.”

Meanwhile, Mayor Jennifer Green and Mayor Pro Tem Renee Valentine are both strong advocates for keeping the current system.

“One of the things that concerns me is if we’re growing government,” Valentine said during the March 7 meeting. “That is something that I am not for.”

She also worried an at-large mayor would lead to a strong-mayor system and abandonment of the town’s council-manager form of government, in which Castle Rock employs a town manager, currently David

Corliss, to handle town administrative duties.

Harlos said March 8 that’s not the case. His committee members are “big fans” of Corliss’ performance as town manager and the councilmanager system as a whole, he said.

They also support the weak-mayor system in place now. Under a weakmayor system, the mayor does not have more authority than other councilmembers.

Weighing options Teal asked Valentine if an arrangement establishing an at-large mayor, but keeping the weak-mayor and council-manager system, would appease her.

Although she did not directly answer his question, she responded by asking why they should change a system that isn’t broken, an argument to which District 2 Councilmember James Townsend agreed.

“We’ve got town business that we need to be attending to,” Valentine said. “We’ve got a lot of other issues. F This to me is just not on my radar.”

Harlos said their next steps will be enlisting signature collectors and t volunteers for a petition effort. For t more information about the group, t visit the committee`s Facebook page,o a Castle Rock Citizens for Elected e Mayor.

Bill seeking tax hike for transportation spending praised, panned STAFF REPORT

A bill introduced in the state Legislature by the Democratic speaker of the House and the Republican Senate president would seek voter approval to raise the state sales tax to help pay for Colorado’s transportation needs.

Colorado’s growing population and overburdened roadways have put transportation at the forefront of this legislative session, which began in January and ends in May. House Bill 1242, if approved at the Capitol, would request a 0.62 percent increase in the state sales tax on the November ballot, raising the tax to 3.52 percent.

A joint news release issued by House and Senate leadership said about $680 million would be generated, and much of that would be distributed to city and county governments for local transportation priorities.

Members of a coalition of business and community leaders called FixItCO applauded the introduction of HB 1242.

“The announcement today is good

news for Coloradans,” said Arvada Mayor Marc Williams, who is the chairman of the Metro Mayors Caucus Transportation Task Force. “Without a significant investment in our infrastructure, our economy is at risk, our safety is at risk, and the cost to Colorado families in both time and money is increasing.”

The measure’s sponsors include House Speaker Crisanta Duran, DDenver, and Senate President Kevin Grantham, R-Canon City. But while it has bipartisan support, that doesn’t mean all Republicans in the Legislature are backing it.

House Republican Leader Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, and Assistant House Republican Leader Cole Wist, of Centennial, came out strongly against HB 1242 on March 9, a day after the bill was introduced in the House.

“A $677 million tax increase is not the solution to Colorado’s problems and I will aggressively oppose the passage of this bill,” Neville said. “I am very disappointed that House Republican leadership and the House Republican

caucus was excluded from the discussions of this bill and expect significant opposition from House Republicans as a result.”

Wist said the Legislature “needs to be spending time evaluating how it spends existing revenue” before it asks voters for a tax increase.

While Republicans hold the majority in the Senate, they are the minority in the House, which will make it tough to block the bill’s passage there.

The Colorado Department of Transportation issued a statement from Executive Director Shailen Bhatt on the bill, saying it shows promise.

“We look forward to evaluating the proposal and participating in the crafting of the final legislation,” he said. “Colorado’s state transportation system is faced with a $1 billion per year funding shortfall, which limits CDOT’s ability to address congestion, mobility, and safety challenges.

“This initiative has the potential to save lives and improve the state’s economic vibrancy. It will fund projects

that address mobility issues on our major interstate highways as well as rural roads, add transit and transportation choice around the state, and provide local communities the flexibility and resources for their needs.”

A summary of the bill says the revenue generated from the tax increase would be used “solely for transportation infrastructure funding purposes.”

CDOT would be allocated $300 million annually for the state highway fund. Of the remaining money, 70 percent would go to counties and municipalities for local projects.

“Every county and city in Colorado will share in the benefits from this transportation package,” Duran said.

“And we will insist on transparency and accountability, so that voters will know where their dollars are going and how they will be used. This package ... would be a major step forward for this state and firmly position us for growth and prosperity for the next 20 years.”

CHARTER SCHOOLS: A MATTER OF COURSE

Charters provide ways to match ‘philosophical beliefs and values’

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Christi Granato-Dexter’s son Aiden was saying 100 words at the age of 1, she knew he was learning at a faster rater than his peers.

When it came time to choose a school, she decided on American Academy Charter School in Castle Pines. American Academy offers ability group learning for math, reading and writing. This means students take classes based on skill level rather than all sharing the same classroom by age alone.

“For us, it was an opportunity for Aiden to have his needs met and to be at his school and not in a separate program,” Granato-Dexter said.

The Castle Pines resident and former Douglas County School District teacher at Buffalo Ridge Elementary has two children now at American Academy Charter School. Aiden, 7, is in second grade and daughter Aubrey, 6, is in kindergarten.

“You’re better serving the students rather than having 25 kids in the classroom that have many different levels of ability and trying to meet their needs in all of those subjects,” she said. “It’s just not even humanly possible for one person to meet all of those needs and do it in a seven-hour time frame.”

Board of Education President

Meghann Silverthorn said charters offer numerous educational approaches for students without leaving the district.

“Charters offer many ways for families to be involved through volunteerism and fundraising, which can increase the feeling of community in a school environment,” Silverthorn said. “The smaller nature of a charter school administration can mean that a smaller ratio of parents can affect much more visible changes at the school level. Some parents choose charters so that they can have this larger impact on school operations.”

Debbie Rabideau, principal at Renaissance Secondary School in Castle Rock, said the biggest benefit to charter schools are that parents can make educational programming decisions based on their children’s individual needs.

Parents want to be able to guide their child’s education, she said, and when given a chance to choose, they are often more satisfied.

“I have worked as a Douglas County educator for over 20 years. I have worked in neighborhood schools, a magnet school and, now, a charter,” Rabideau said. “I believe the benefit for all parents, students and teachers is that you have the ability to be part of a school community that matches your philosophical beliefs and values.”

What is a charter school?

Like their neighborhood counterparts, charter schools are tuition-free public schools.

In Douglas County, they include STEM-oriented schools — specializing in science, technology, engineering and math — as well as schools built around classical and performing arts, online and core knowlege styles of education.

Only two of the district’s charters are high schools.

They are operated by an independent board of directors that may be composed of parents, teachers and community members. The schools operate under a contract between the board of the charter school community and the board of education.

Just as traditional neighborhood schools do, charter schools receive 100 percent of per-pupil revenues or money designated by the state legislature each year for operating expenses, capital

Most charter schools apply for Colorado Charter School Grant funds for financial assistance with startup and implementation needs. Most, but not all, applications for startup grants receive funding, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

A charter school is accountable to the families in the school, the local school district and the state. It also must participate in the state-mandated student assessment program. It is through the assessment that charter schools, along with all other public schools in the state, are measured. School Accountability Reports are issued annually for public schools in the state, including charter schools.

If a charter school isn’t performing satisfactorily, the school board can vote to remove it from the district.

Douglas County School District has 16 charter schools — which like their neighborhood counterparts are tuition-free public schools — with 13,334 students attending them. That represents about 20 percent of the roughly 67,000 students in the district. Four more charters have been approved and will open in the district by 2018.

The rapid growth of charters in the district over the past decade has prompted the Douglas County Board of Education, whose majority has been a strong advocate of school choice for the past eight years, to commission a report that looks at how charters could be affecting neighborhood school enrollment, per-pupil revenue and programs. It is projected to be completed before the 2018 school year.

The school board’s current seven members generally all support the concept of choice and agree that charter schools provide a vital innovative element in the educational landscape.

But the debate about the number of charter schools in the district and the rate of approving new ones has seemingly reached a tipping point. Finding a way for charters and neighborhood schools to co-exist in a way that promotes success for all is critical to the district’s future, district officials and school administrators say.

“We’ve become a system of schools instead of a school system,” said board member David Ray, a longtime educator and former DCSD principal who was among the first to support charter schools in Douglas County in the 1990s. “This promotes a fend-foryourself attitude and an unfortunate survival-of-the-fittest mentality . . .

We need all our schools to be places where students thrive.”

Choice offers ‘specific vision’ On a national level, charter schools originally began as a way to provide quality alternatives to children in areas with struggling neighborhood schools and to provide unique curriculm not offered at district schools.

But they have evolved over the years to meet the specific needs and wants of parents and students and increase choice across the board, even in highperforming school districts such as Douglas County.

“For people who are nervous about the impact charters are having or are not sold on charters at all, I would say they are public school students — they just have a different approach to education,” school board President Meghann Silverthorn said. “We’re fortunate that the law allows not only us as a board, but families across Colorado, to stand up for those types of schools.”

Douglas County educators, parents and district leaders agree that the schools have generated positive benefits to students’ educational opportunities.

Charter schools “are formed by parents, by people who care about education, people who want a school with a specific vision for their kids,” Silverthorn said.

March 16, 2017M

“Obviously,” Ray said, “when parents choose a specific school, their ownership for this school significantly increases. There have been many success stories of what happens when a child is placed in an environment where he or she thrives. And, certainly due to our inability to pass a bond issue for new school construction, charter schools have absolutely been vital to accommodating our continuous growth needs.”

For many parents, choice is simply the means to helping their children reach their fullest potential.

In Douglas County, charters include STEM-oriented schools — specializing in science, technology, engineering and math — as well as schools built around classical and performing arts, online and Core Knowlege styles of education.

Stacy Rader, a Parker resident and communications director of the Colorado League of Charter Schools, said it makes sense that today’s parents want to research options and find the educational program that best fits their child’s learning style.

“It’s a benefit that Douglas County School District recognizes this and offers its residents a portfolio of amazing public school options, including charter public schools, traditional public schools, magnet public schools,” Rader said in an email.

‘Foresight and planning’ needed The Charter Schools Act — which became Colorado law in 1993 and paved the way for charters — called for “smaller environments to experiment with educational programs and develop innovative ways to educate at-risk students.”

But Ray believes Douglas County has forgotten the original intent of that legislation.

“Unfortunately, our district has significantly strayed from this to throwing our schools into a consumer frenzy where schools are competing for kids,” he said. “This has been further complicated by our approach to use charter schools to accommodate growth instead of opening neighborhood schools. This has perpetuated an attitude that charter schools are superior.”

Just as traditional schools do, charter schools receive 100 percent of perpupil revenues, or money designated by the state Legislature each year for operating expenses, capital reserve and risk insurance. The revenue follows that student to whatever school he or she attends.

State law says the effect that charters have on other schools cannot be considered in the approval process, said Silverthorn, adding that the board is still responsible for ensuring the system works for all.

But the drain on money from neighborhood schools — most specifically at the elementary level — combined with where charters are built and how quickly, worry many educators and some school board members. Only two of the district’s charters are high schools.

“My biggest concern with the whole charter issue is that I think they are doing it without a lot of foresight or planning ahead,” said Kellie Roe, SEE CHARTER, P9

Programs, staffing affected at neighborhood schools

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEIA.COM

Katherine Dorman is a science teacher and track and cross country coach at Ponderosa High School in Parker. She has worked in the Douglas County School District for 33 years.

And she has watched how the rise of charters have affected local neighborhood schools.

“The main problem with approving charter after charter is that the budget to run our schools is fixed,” Dorman said. “When a charter opens up and attracts students away from their neighborhood school, the perpupil funding goes with that student.

The neighborhood school still has fixed costs, but now less dollars to meet those costs.”

That means programs may need to be dropped and fewer staff are hired, usually leading to an increase in class size, she said.

principal for six years at Clear Sky Elementary in Castle Rock. “So, they are putting schools in places where there really isn’t a need. That’s causing enrollments to go down.”

Ray agreed.

“Oversaturating certain geographical areas with charter schools has had a dire impact on nearby neighborhood schools where enrollment is declining,” he said. “The result is partially-filled schools where operations are inefficient and programming for learners is greatly limited.”

Addressing student growth Another concern is the use of charter schools to accommodate student population growth.

Douglas County School District encompasses more than 850 square miles and is the third largest district in Colorado, serving more than 67,000 students.

By 2040, the number of students projected to be enrolled is estimated to reach 128,000—nearly double the current enrollment, according to the district’s Long Range Planning Committee’s Master Capital Plan.

The committee’s report, compiled in 2015, identified $38.8 million in projected new construction costs over the next five years.

To address expected growth during that period, the committee report said some schools would need to implement program changes, add mobile classrooms, implement a year-round calendar, build additions. In some cases, the distict might need to build new schools.

The last neighborhood school the district built was Legend High School in Parker, which opened in 2009.

The school board, in 2015, decided not to pursue a bond measure, citing lack of broad community support and

UNDER-UTILIZED SCHOOLS Citing the influx of charters, along with changing demographics and lower birth rates, the district has projected the following schools will be under-utilized in the 2017-18 school year: Pine Lane Elementary, Mountain View Primary and Ponderosa High School in Parker; Arrowwood Elementary in Highlands Ranch; Larkspur Elementary; and Mesa Middle School in Castle Rock.

Other schools projected to be under-utilized by the 2021-22 school year are: Northeast Intermediate and Sierra Middle School in Parker, Trailblazer Elementary in Highlands Ranchand Castle Rock Middle School.

resulting in decreasing enrollment, is an issue facing a number of the district’s elementary schools.

“When a school’s enrollment goes down that low, they can no longer afford to have a full-time PE teacher and

the fact that — as former school board president Kevin Larsen said then — charter schools had helped ease the “bulk of the student growth.”

Silverthorn, also on the board at that time, agreed recently that “new seats at charters have alleviated many neighborhood school crowding issues.”

But she, along with several educators and school officials, say the district must be more selective about what kinds of charters are approved and Silverthorn where they are built.

“Charters are an important piece of the puzzle,” she said, “but it is important to know how they are affecting the overall district picture.”

“Charter schools,” added Kallie Leyba, president of the Douglas County Federation, the teachers’ union, “should be part of a comprehensive plan to provide our students and their parents with a number of high-quality options, a plan that ensures charters do not undermine our neighborhood schools.”

Richard Barrett, executive director of SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch, believes the district should be strategic about where and when Barrett new schools are approved. His charter school, which offers a classical curriculum, opened in 2010 in the old Home Depot site just west of Walmart at Quebec and C-470 with 518 students in grades pre-K-5. It now has more than 1,200 students through the 12th grade.

“If there’s demand or overcrowding in a neighborhood, that’s a great call for a quality school,” Barrett said. “I think it’s important that we are intentional about where we open a new school and that we’re working as a community.”

The clustering of charters in some areas like Parker and Highlands Ranch

a full-time music teacher,” said Kellie Roe, principal at Clear Sky Elementary in Castle Rock. “So, they are either cutting those programs or they are putting educational assistants in those programs who aren’t certified teachers. Or, they do half-time.

And you just don’t get the quality of teacher when you’re doing part-time positions. Most people want a fulltime position, so it limits the quality you are going to get.”

Kallie Leyba, president of Douglas County Federation, the teachers’ union, believes school choice can lead to educational inequities across the system.

“When a district funds multiple streams of education, its impact on high-quality education is diluted,” Leyba said. “Resources are diverted from where they are needed most, and children are effectively segregated by demographic information.”

School board member David Ray also worries how that diversion will

affect students who need support the most: “We have placed our students with special education needs at a significant disadvantage — especially those with significant support needs — because we have not ensured the equitable distribution of resources for these students in our charter schools.”

Charters are funded by the same per-pupil revenue as neighborhood schools. So for every student and dollar that attends a charter within the district, the neighborhood school they may have attended misses out on that money.

The per-pupil revenue for the Douglas County School District during the 2016-17 school year is $7,163. The statewide average revenue per student is $7,425.

Roe has had students who were enrolled in her school leave for charters after the school year has started.

“We have staffed for that student,” Roe said, “and then you lose them.”

concerns interim Superintendent Erin Kane, who helped found in 2009 one of the district’s successful charters, American Academy Charter School, which focuses on Core Knowledge and STEM curriculums.

A supporter of grassroots efforts by parents to provide a different educational option for their children, she also believes new charter schools should have a unique offering that can’t be found elsewhere and that meet the community’s needs.

“I believe the bar should be a relatively high bar for new charter schools,” Kane said.

And continuing to meet growth needs with charter schools alone isn’t a “sustainable” approach to growth, she said. “Moving forward, we absolutely need a solution that involves building neighborhood schools. I absolutely believe that.”

During his time in education, Ray helped open three neighborhood schools. He found each one uniquely reflected the hopes and values of the surrounding community.

“The neighborhood school is truly the glue that brings the community together,” he said, “where next-door neighRay bors grow up and learn together.”

Neighborhood school reflects community Neighborhood schools — the school a child is zoned for based on where he or she lives — are the heart of their communities, educators and parents say.

They are “the backbone of our district,” said Judith Reynolds, the school board’s vice president.

“They provide students an opportunity to discover their passions by providing a multitude of choices and create a bond between neighbors supporting local teams,” said Laura Mutton, a parent of two former Douglas County students and president of Strong Schools Coalition, a nonpartisan organization working to inform and engage the DCSD community.

Ray, who spent 25 years as a teacher and principal in neighborhood schools, described them as “a true reflection of the community that surrounds it.”

“The beauty occurs when these diverse learners come together under one roof,” he said. “Magically, the playing field is leveled and all learners, regardless of their background, are treasured and assumed capable of success.”

Finding common ground The challenge, educators say, is finding the balance that helps all schools — and students — thrive.

To ensure better communication among all types of schools in the district, Silverthorn would like to see an open dialogue and more community events to bring people together.

“Why would we exclude any types of (educational) options?” Silverthorn said. “Our neighborhood schools are special. Our charter schools are special.

They are just different ways of providing an education for kids. We’re all part of Douglas County School District, so the question is how do we talk to one another on those hard issues?”

Philosophical differences, school and community leaders agree, shouldn’t overshadow what’s most important: Providing the best education for the district’s children.

“Although it feels like it’s us against them, I don’t think that most public school principals are against charter schools or choice,” said Roe of Clear Sky Elementary. “That’s not the case.

But I think our board needs to do it in a more planned out, systemic way — and thinking about how it’s impacting elementary schools.”

Barrett of SkyView Academy emphasized the importance of finding common ground.

“We have to be partners,” he said.

“All kids need to be served, so let’s do it together and play nice in the sandbox.”

Parents worry board is disregarding recommendations Charter school founder says application process long, but fair

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County Board of Education has been divided in its desire to approve new charters quickly with the more recently elected board members David Ray, Anne-Marie Lemieux and Wendy Vogel more reluctant to vote in favor because of concerns about the impact to neighborhood schools.

School board President Meghann Silverthorn said state law says that “you can’t use the effect on other schools in the district as a reason to approve or deny charter schools.”

“We can’t deny them for that reason,” she said, “but we’re responsible and we have to make it work on our end.”

Although the school board makes a final decision on charters, it does so based on information and recommendations from the Charter Application Review Team, a subcommittee of the District Accountability Committee which is comprised of parents, teachers, community members and Douglas County School District staff.

The team reviews charter applications and makes a

The group Douglas County Parents says charters “are an important part of the educational landscape in DCSD and have been since the 1990s” and that it “supports all public schools and would like to see them thrive in DCSD.” However, the group said it is concerning to see the board approving charters against the recommendations of the Charter Application Review Team.

“By disregarding the CART recommendations for recent charter applicants, the board majority has placed an inordinate burden on both neigh-

borhood schools and existing charter schools,” Jason Virdin of Douglas County Parents said in an email. “We would like to see the board majority heed the advice of those tasked with the review process to ensure the success of all Douglas County schools.”

Todd Slechta is a founding board member of Apex Community Elementary, a charter school set to open in The Meadows area of Castle Rock in 2018 to help accommodate the growing number of students in the rapidly expanding area of town. The school will offer a Core Knowledge curriculum integrating reading and writ-

ing with science and history.

The Douglas County Board of Education’s approval of Apex in December was the culmination of a three-year process in which the school had to resubmit its application after receiving feedback from the first go-around. The charter review team recommended approval to the board.

“We think that’s a big reason why we got the bipartisan unanimous vote,” said Slechta, referring to the board’s often split stance on charter approvals. “We went through the process and were receptive to the district’s feedback and critiques.”

Slechta said he considered the process long, but fair.

The first step in applying for a new charter is to fill out an Intent to Submit form.

This form must be completed and returned to the Douglas County School District Choice Programming Office by March 1 of each year.

DCSD uses a standard Colorado charter school application developed in association with the Schools of Choice Unit of the Colorado Department of Education and the National Assocation of Charter School Authorizers. The application is divided into 19 components.

Kim Gilmartin is part of No Waitlists, a group that helps new charter schools navigate the approval process by garnering community and parental support in the form of Letters of Intent.

Letters of Intent are a way of showing potential interest in a school from families who say they will attend if the school is approved.

“It’s a chicken-and-the-egg thing with charter schools,” Gilmartin said. “They are very hard to get started because you have to have all of this stuff lined up before you even get approved.”

Gilmartin said it all comes down to whether or not a school board is inclined to approve a new charter.

“That might sound very political, but it is,” Gilmartin said. “That’s my experience.”

The goal: Charters are ‘part of the public school family’

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In late 1996, Terry Croy Lewis and a small group of parents decided they wanted a different choice for their children’s education. They wanted a Core Knowledge concept that would provide a clear channel marker for student progress and a uniform curriculum — something she said they couldn’t find in the Douglas County School District at the time.

So, in two vacant buildings that used to be an Indian restaurant and a pool hall at University Boulevard and County Line Road, Platte River Academy was born.

“Douglas County was a very different world back then,” Lewis said.

“While they were open to school choice and liked the idea of providing alternatives for students, it was still new. There were different expectations and still worries — lots of worries about what these charters would do to the district.”

Lewis has had children at the school for 17 of the 18 years it has been open.

And she has seen attitudes shift over that time.

“Many years later, I do believe Douglas County stands on the forefront of choice and has found ways to not only work with charters but see it as something that is beneficial for the community and for parents,” she said.

While the debate over the role and number of charter schools in the Douglas County community continues, Lewis said she sees DCSD as a place where the charter and neighborhood school worlds are coming together.

Richard Barrett, executive director of SkyView Academy in Highlands Ranch, suggests that one way to do that is to bring charter schools into the district’s open-enrollment process.

While most charter schools operate their own lottteries to decide who gets to attend, SkyView will be part of the district process beginning in the 201718 school year.

“You can click on Skyview in the district process now,” he said. “I want to show district-run schools that we’re the same. We’re a public school — we’re funded the same. Unifying the enrollment process would be a step in the right direction.”

Penny Eucker, executive director of the STEM School Academy in Highlands Ranch, said that by dispelling some of the myths surrounding charters, distrust could give way to understanding.

The biggest misconceptions are that charter schools are private or religious schools, she said.

“I used to be a principal and an administrator in a district school and I used to resent charter schools until I became part of the charter world,” Eucker said. “I realized that all of the reasons I hate charters were false. I know a lot of people hold those beliefs that I used to hold.”

Eucker spent eight years working in Adams 12 Five Star Schools district and helped start the Magnet

Lab STEM School in Northglenn. She said the experience opened her mind to new possibilities in education and showed her the value of new ideas.

“Neighborhood schools must increase their appeal to retain students with more charters opening in DCSD,” Eucker said. “That was the original thinking behind charters two decades ago — bring competition to slow-toimprove public education for better opportunity for all students.”

Stacy Rader, director of communications for the Colorado League of Charter schools, said she hopes the community will eventually view charters the same way they view neighborhood schools.

“Charter public schools have been in Colorado and Douglas County for nearly 25 years now,” Rader said.

“They are a valid, important and permanent part of the public school community. And I hope we can get to a point where charter school students are seen as part of the public school family.”

State’s charter schools have focused on quality

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The recent confirmation as U.S. secretary of education of billionaire Betsy DeVos, a charter and school choice advocate, and President Donald Trump’s support for school choice during his Feb. 28 speech before Congress have spotlighted attention on the role of charter schools in public education nationally.

The existence of charter schools in Colorado can be traced to 1993, when then-state Sen. Bill Owens and thenstate Rep. Peggy Kerns introduced the Charter Schools Act, which received bipartisan support and was signed into law.

Since then, the number of charter schools has been rising, not only in Douglas County, but throughout the state.

Colorado had 141 charter schools during the 2007-08 school year, according to the Colorado Department of Education. That number grew to 226 charters — a 60 percent increase — by the 2015-16 school year.

Kevin G. Welner, a professor at the University of Colorado-Boulder School of Education specializing in educational policy and law, believes charter schools have reached “a turning point” in the state.

“The first charter school law is now a quarter-century old, and charters are now an established part of the educational landscape nationally and here in Colorado,” Welner said.

“But within the sector there are two distinct factions — those focused on quality and those focused on a shift to the free market and on rapid growth.”

He cautions that the federal leader-

Congressman Ken Buck visits the Parker Core Knowlege charter school during National School Choice Week in January. Buck — whose 4th Congressional District includes Castle Rock, Lone Tree and Parker — is a strong supporter of charter schools. MIKE DIFERDINANDO ship of DeVos, a proponent of growth and the free market, could tilt reform in that direction, leading to “less regulation, more for-profit involvement and greater variation in quality.”

District preparing report on charter schools The Douglas County Board of Education has directed district staff to put together a comprehensive report looking at the impact of charter schools in the district because of community concerns about their effects on the district.

The analysis is expected to begin in late summer and be brought before the board during the 2017-18 school year.

The analysis will look at: 1. The impact on programs in neighborhood schools that surround a charter school, from the neighborhood schools’ ability to provide full-time staff, to purchase curriculum resources and to hire sufficient special education and mental health support staff. It also will look at how declining enrollment of students is affected by a charter school as compared to open-enrolling in other neighborhood schools and the natural attrition of an aging community.

2. The difference in money spent for a student who matriculates through a K-12 neighborhood school vs. a student who attends a charter school during elementary years and then transfers to a neighborhood secondary school.

3. The impact on delivering special education services to all students: Given that charters have been used to accommodate growth, have magnet/centerbased programs been equally distributed for equitable access throughout the district? How many charters house intensive programs that meet the needs of students identified as special needs?

4. Whether DCSD is meeting the goal of the 1993 Charter Schools Act’s main philosophy — to provide “smaller environments to experiment with educational programs and develop innovative ways to educate at-risk students.”

Compared to states like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Arizona, where charter schools are less well regulated, he said the charter school sector in Colorado has focused on

quality.

“Relatively speaking,” he said, “quality has been a serious objective for charter school leaders in the state.”

Teacher sees ecology trip as example to students Castle View High School educator heading to Mexican island

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Meredith Chicklas, a science teacher at Castle View High School in Castle Rock, believes leading by example is one of the best ways she can teach her students.

That’s why the educator is taking off to Baja, Mexico, on March 18 as part of a teacher fellowship program hosted by the conservation nonprofit Ecology Project International. The fellowship entails an eight-day excursion exploring the area’s ecology. Fellows will also be immersed in the biosphere reserve of Espiritu Santo Island, which sits off the southern coast of the Baja Peninsula.

Ecology Project International is a field science and conservation organization working in ecologically critical environments such as Costa Rica, the Galapagos, Belize and Hawaii.

For her students, Chicklas hopes to bring back lessons on the importance of conservation, and being actively involved in conservation efforts.

“I want to show them that just because we talk about science in the four walls of our classroom,” Chicklas said of her students, “it’s really important to take

part in it as well.”

So, leading by example, Chicklas and educators from across North America are going where conservationism is a growing need.

The communities she will visit are experiencing an influx in population, Chicklas said. Consequently, problems with over-fishing have sprung up as residents look to support themselves.

While in Mexico, she and the other fellows will partner with a local marine biologist to conduct field studies and collect underwater data. The group will gather microorganism or organisms in order to determine what species are present and how many there are.

The conservationists can then provide that information to the community, Chicklas said, to help locals better respond to the impact of human activity on nearby eco-life.

Chicklas hopes that she’ll be able to translate her field experience into reallife lessons for her classrooms.

“A lot of the experience will be field work and collecting data and kind of how to share that with your students and get them interested in the conservation effort,” she said.

It’s a lesson she’s eager to teach.

Chicklas, a 2013 Michigan State University alumna, studied biological science and chose to teach because of her passion for science and her passion for working with people, she said.

Environmental science, in particular, is an important cause for her.

“We only have one planet. Although sometimes we don’t see the effect of our actions, everything that we’re doing could leave a mark and impact our world. And I think it’s so important to protect it,” she said.

And aside from sharpening her teaching skills, Chicklas is making her school proud. She was selected from a candidate pool of hundreds, according to a release from Ecology Project International.

“We are thrilled with the announcement of Meredith’s fellowship,” Castle View High School Principal Rex Corr said in an email. “This is an outstanding opportunity for Meredith to continue her own professional growth and bring those experiences back to her students and colleagues at Castle View.”

Corr commended Chicklas as a “passionate, energetic and student-centered” teacher who can reach students who don’t immediately connect with science classes. He also noted the merit in teaching by example.

“For our students to have the opportunity to see their teachers continue to pursue those types of experiences — learning by doing — is very impactful. It models the types of learning with which we ask our students to engage,” he said.

And while being selected in an honor, Chicklas said she’s simply grateful to participate in the program.

“I’m just excited to get an opportunity to be hands on,” she said. “You learn best by doing.”

Meredith Chicklas, a science teacher at Castle View High School in Castle Rock, will depart for a fellowship in Baja, Mexico, on March 18, where she will help with conservation efforts.

Conservationism is important to the educator, pictured here in Costa Rica on a previous trip where she studied rainforest ecology.

Castle Rock seeking input through community survey Results measure public opinion and help inform town budget

The Town of Castle Rock is conducting its official community survey, which it has conducted every two years since 2011, to gauge what community members want to see from their town.

Thousands of Castle Rock households were randomly selected to complete a 30-minute survey about how the town is performing, according to a town news release.

The survey period began the week of Feb. 27 and should be completed

by April 2.

Every licensed business was also invited to participate through a 10-minute survey. The selected households will be contacted by email, mail or by phone.

Come April, the general

community will be invited to participate through a supplemental survey. Go to www.CRgov.com when a link to that survey becomes available.

Results of the survey are expected to be reported to the town council in May and will help inform the town budget. Results will also be posted at www.CRgov. com/2017survey.

Community survey results from 2015 found residents prioritized supporting the town’s aging population. Residents were split on the need for public transportation.

Their top concern, however, was growth — including urban sprawl, increased traffic and a loss of the small-town feeling, according to the final report. More than 700 of the randomly selected residents responded to the survey, according to the town website.

Overal, residents praised the quality of life in Castle Rock, rating it at just under 4.5 stars on a 5-star scale.

Results of past surveys are available at www.CRgov.com.

VOICES

Laws requiring freedom of information are important to democracy

unshine is good for democracy.

At least that’s what we journalists think, and the Founding Fathers seemed to agree, judging by the First Amendment.

March 12-18 is Sunshine Week — an annual, nationwide celebration of access to public information. News agencies across the country are using this week to help share the message that transparency in government is important, that a free and independent press is important, and that the defense and

adherence to sunshine laws helps support those ideals.

Sunshine laws refer to the national Freedom of Information Act and any number of state open-record and openmeeting laws that help we, the people, keep tabs on what those in power are doing.

While these laws directly affect how well journalists can do our jobs, those same laws are intended for all citizens’ benefit. It can be a way for concerned folks to do their part to keep govern-

ment honest. Recent examples include a parent in Jefferson County who wanted to know which teachers had participated in a sick-out that affected their child’s education and an Arvada man who objected to his city council’s use of a secret ballot to elect a new councilmember.

Filing an open-records request is something anyone can do. It requires filling out a formal request — a template can be found on the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition’s

website at coloradofoic.org — that must be turned in to the government entity’s records custodian. Some agencies have their own forms.

Of course, journalists use these tools, too. Within the past year, Colorado Community Media reporters submitted public records requests — per the Colorado Open Records Act, often known as CORA — for, among other things, the salaries of high-ranking SEE INFORMATION, P15

WINNING WORDS

t is probably fair to say that none of us likes to be disrupted. We really don’t like to be disrupted when we are engaged in a project or important conversation.

Untimely disruptions in our workflow or in our conversations can even lead us to the point of frustration and anger.

In 1995 the term “disruptive technology” was introduced to the business world. And following “disruptive technology” came “disruptive force,” and “disruptive innovation.”

All pointing toward the development of a product or service that will disrupt the status quo in the way we do business. These would usually start out small or slowly, and then change the way the entire world does business, communicates, thinks, and behaves.

As I listened to a speaker talk about the concept of disruptiveness in the business world, and even for the general population, I couldn’t help but think of my own status quo or comfort zone.

What could I do in my own life that would be disruptive to the way I go about working and living? After all, I really am a routine kind of guy. I

INFORMATION FROM PAGE 14

Douglas County School District employees and the names of the finalists for the Lone Tree police chief position.

Sunshine laws also help set expectations for elected officials and government staff, helping to encourage a mindset of transparency and honesty that benefits all of us.

Recently, one of our reporters noticed that the Adams County Board of Commissioners seemed to turn off the audio recorder occasionally during their public study sessions. The county called these pauses in the recording “administrative review items.”

In checking with the state’s open meetings law, we found that since Adams County officials were not making decisions during any part of their study sessions, they were not required by law to record any of it. We applaud Adams County for going above the requirements of state law — other counties don’t record study or work sessions

— even as we ask them to reconsider turning off the mic for those administrative items.

Not every section of government we cover is quite so good at following the spirit, or even the letter, of the law.

Jefferson County Schools is amid a national search for a new superintendent, the second such search in two years. Last time, as with this time, neither the hiring firm, Ray and Associates, nor the school district intends to release the names of the finalists.

That’s a problem because any official decision made by a public board is supposed to be done in public. But in Jeffco Schools’ case, a prior school board merely announced whom it had hired after the fact.

It also seems in clear violation of the state’s open meetings law: “The state or local public body shall make public the list of all finalists under consideration for the position of chief executive officer no later than fourteen days prior to appointing or employing one of the finalists to fill the position.”

In honesty, many of Colorado’s cities, counties and school districts ignore

OBITUARIES THOMAS

Francis Jerome “Jerry” Thomas July 8, 1931 - March 5, 2017

Francis Jerome “Jerry” Thomas passed away peacefully at his longtime home in Happy Canyon, March 5th.

Jerry was a Colorado Springs native.

He attended St. Mary’s as a youth and then earned a degree in Zoology from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Jerry was the only one in his family to attend college and paid for his education by “hashing” in the kitchen of the womens’ dorm. He was always proud to tell his children he was the only guy on campus with a key to the girls’ dormitory.

Jerry was drafted into the Korean War and served two years in Washington State as a phlebotomist.

In 1957, Jerry married Darlene Okoneski whom he had known since childhood. Darlene and Jerry danced together since high school and continFRALEY

ued to expand their dancing techniques throughout the years. They belonged to dance clubs and enjoyed dancing on many cruises over the years.

Jerry owned his own metal finishing shop in Englewood for 30 years before retiring and pursuing his love of plants. He was a fierce competitor at the Douglas County Fair in the flower and plant divisions since the 1960’s.

He will be sadly missed by his wife of 59 years and his daughters Sheri Rich (Buddy), Suzanne Thomas (Steven Stone), Shelley Thomas (Rich Dzialo) and sons Joe Thomas and Jim Thomas and grandchildren Spencer and Preston Rich, Chelsea and Lily Thomas, Kyler and Madison Thomas and Lauren Thomas.

The family will have a private ceremony.

June 6, 1942 – March 7, 2017

Bill passed away peacefully at his home. He leaves behind his wife of 50 years, Maylois Fraley, his daughter Lynette (Richard) Rogers, two granddaughters, Alyssa & Hailey. Services were held Monday, March 13 and laid to rest at Elbert Cemetery.

this portion of the law, according to Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition Executive Director Jeff Roberts.

Another place where we often see a lack of transparency is from law enforcement agencies that seem far too quick to cite an “ongoing investigation” as a way of not giving more information about a case.

The law — the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act — does allow agencies to hold back information that would be “contrary to the public interest” if it were released. We take this to mean that releasing the information could jeopardize an investigation. And certainly, sometimes there are details that could do so. But so little is released so often that “ongoing investigation” seems to have become an easy blanket answer that dodges the harder question officers should be asking: What information can we give out now for the public’s benefit that doesn’t really affect the course of the investigation?

Law enforcement agencies are not alone in being protected from having to release certain kinds of information.

CROISSANT

City, county and school board officials cannot, for example, release details of personnel matters or specifics of board discussions regarding real estate negotiations. But when an agency rejects handing over the information, by law, it must cite the statute that allows them to do so. You see, it is presumed that the information belongs to the public and the entity must state the reason why it is denying the request.

That is why while we can sympathize that a potential candidate for a city manager or superintendent position might not want their current employers to know they’ve been job hunting, that potential job is still paid for through our tax dollars. Also, that position has a direct and powerful impact on our communities. It is our right to know who we are considering to hire, and to know that our elected officials are making those choices.

So go ahead and enjoy all that great Colorado sunshine, and help it spread far and wide by supporting a trusted news source, or by serving as a watchdog yourself. You’ll be doing democracy a favor.

We need sideline reporters, who are mostly nice-looking haircuts, like we need to watch a giraffe 24 hours a day prior to giving birth.

But that’s where we are. We wander out of the lane of what matters most all of the time.

We are easily distracted.

When did that start to happen?

I might be looking at the reason, right here in my office.

I don’t write one of these nonstop, like columnists did at one time, in a smoke-filled news room.

momentum over time. Something that would help me achieve a higher level of success in my personal life, my business life, and my spiritual life.

So in the past the word “disruption” or “being disrupted” always carried a kind of negative connotation for me. Now I welcome it, I look for new ways and ideas of doing even the simplest of tasks. Although usually very curious by nature, the whole idea of looking for produc-

tive disruptions in my life has led me even greater curiosity and I find myself asking even more questions than I normally would because now instead of avoiding disruptions I am seeking them out. Not just any disruptions, but productive disruptions.

So how about you? Are you benefiting from the disruptive technologies, forces, and innovations that continue to be found or developed?

Could you use a little productive dis-

ruption in your own life? Either way I would love to hear all about it as gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can allow ourselves to be open to new ideas and ways of doing things at home or at work, it really will be a better than good week.

Messages are checked, I walk the dog, find out how the Bruins did last night (they trounced Washington), write to Jennifer, beg a friend to get me under-thetable Colorado Symphony Yo-Yo Ma tickets, arrange a special gift for my best friend’s 70th birthday, reminisce about meeting him 57 freaking years ago, and change Roger’s water.

Roger is a betta.

Roger is a narcissist.

I bought him a compact mirror. I placed it on the outside of his bowl, and he stares at his reflection all day. Bettas are commonly known as “Siamese fighting fish.”

Male bettas cannot be roomed

with male bettas.

Therefore, there are three bachelors in the house. Man, dog, fish.

Not a one of us has a mobile phone.

We all have to learn to tolerate things that we cannot tolerate. In my case, the ubiquity of mobile phones and guns, and Adele in my dentist’s office.

I wish there were a designated day when no mobile calls are made, no selfies are taken, no tweets were tweeted in public. Make it illegal and binding. Anyone caught making a call? Make them watch “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.”

(I acknowledge that there may be

nothing better, however, in a true emergency than a cell phone.)

There has never been a less discreet generation. Couth took a hike, meandered into the woods, never came out.

I watched a man walking his dog on the greenbelt. Man was on the phone. Dog had a bowel movement.

Man left bowel movement.

Within half a minute, I knew all I needed to know about him.

‘Our spirituality is unbounded’

Dave Lukaszewski helps lead a “Death Cafe” following a Sunday service at Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church in Parker, where members discuss the taboo topic of death to make it more comfortable for people, Lukaszewski said.

COURTESY PHOTO

Unitarian Universalists offer a culture of acceptance

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he rule for Unitarian Universalists is that there are virtually no rules.

Yes, there are seven key principles — you can’t believe anything you want, which ministers say is a common misconception about the belief system.

But there is no creed. There is no set explanation for God or the afterlife. Instead, everyone has their own definition.

“It’s about how we live together,” said Eric Banner, associate minister at Jefferson Unitarian Church in Golden. “Not what we believe at this moment to be true.”

“Our spirituality is unbounded, drawing from scripture and science, nature and philosophy, personal experience and ancient tradition,” says the Unitarian Universalist Association website.

Banner, originally from Kansas, is a born-and-raised Unitarian Universalist. He said the lack of a creed can be confusing to outsiders, as it doesn’t follow the typical tradition of religions.

To help explain, he thinks back to growing up as a Unitarian Universalist. It was a challenge, he said.

THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES OF UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS Unitarian Universalist congregations may not preach a specific creed, but they do follow seven key principles. The principles are drawn from numerous sources, such as science, poetry, scripture and personal experience. They are not meant to be doctrine, rather, strongly held guidelines.

The seven principles are: • First Principle: The inherent worth and dignity of every person.

• Second Principle: Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.

• Third Principle: Acceptance of one another and encouragement to

spiritual growth in our congregations.

• Fourth Principle: A free and responsible search for truth and meaning • Fifth Principle: The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.

Society will tell you what’s valuable — money, nice things, a good job — but being Unitarian Universalist is about taking a step back.

“The story we teach is that it’s primarily first and foremost how we live and love the people around us,” he said.

It’s also about faithfully seeking the truth, although Unitarian Universalists don’t believe they will ever know all the answers.

• Sixth Principle: The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all.

• Seventh Principle: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

Source: Unitarian Universalist Association at www.uua.org.

“What you know about the ultimate, what you know about the essence of life, is a piece of the truth,” he said.

Finding faith Dave Lukaszewski, of Parker, became a Unitarian Universalist three years ago. The Wisconsin native was raised Catholic, but became distant from religion following college.

“When you’re a kid, you just go along with what your parents do,” he said. “Until you get your own identity.”

Before finding Unitarianism, he explored like-minded faiths.

Lukaszewski, now retired, built a career as an aerospace engineer.

In 1981, he and his family moved to Denver. Lukaszewski would eventually meet his second wife, who attended the Mile Hi Church, a spiritual community in Lakewood.

He then helped found the Center for Spiritual Living in Castle Rock, which teaches the Science of the Mind philosophy that religion and science support one another.

While Lukaszewski was still attending the Center for Spiritual Living, his wife attended a service at the Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church in Parker, and afterward convinced Lukaszewski to give it a try.

He loved that they played music and sang hymns, but what really got his attention was an open mic session called “Candles of Community” that allowed people to share with the congregation a joy or a sorrow.

The catharsis of concerts and crowds

T

here was a time, not all that long ago, when the idea of a concert going all night wouldn’t give me anxiety about getting enough sleep for LINER work the next day, NOTES and the idea of jumping around with a bunch of strangers wouldn’t make me tired hours before the show even started.

That’s aging, I suppose.

So even though I was excited to Clarke Reader go see the purest rock band around, Japandroids, at the Gothic Theatre on March 7, the fact that the show didn’t start until 9 p.m. (and that was just the opener, mind you) almost caused me to not go.

But three hours later, I spilled out of the venue fierce, alive and fired up — all aftereffects of the high that only a really great live show can give you.

A brief primer — Japandroids is the Vancouver-based duo of Brian King on guitars and lead vocals and David Prowse on drums and backing vocals. Over the course of three albums, they have perfected a kind of anthem rock that owes as

know people,” he said. “When I saw this ‘Candles of Community,’ it really inspired me that this may be a place where I can really be with a group of people and really get to know them more than on just a superficial level, just saying `hi’ on Sundays.”

Plus, he said, it was a progressive religion. Everyone had different beliefs, but to them that was fine.

“We learn from each other,” he said.

“We can accept the different belief systems and still get along.”

bounds. June seamlessly blends folk, R&B, blues and sprinkles in a little pop, just for flavor. This is an album made to be played from front to back, and it rewards every listen.

Review: June has the kind of voice you don’t forget once you hear it — syrupy, raspy and drenched in Appalachian folk and soul. Her long-awaited sophomore release is even better than her debut — her pen is sharper and her musical vocabulary has grown by leaps and

much to The Replacements as Bruce Springsteen. Their songs are filled with what King playfully referred to as “sing along factor” several times during the performance — “oh yeahs” and “all rights” that sound fantastic when shouted by an audience having the time of their lives.

The band’s most recent album, “Near to the Wild Heart of Life,” is its most adventurous and layered work yet — a celebration of love, the open road and the unlimited possibilities of being alive. It has taken some flack because this joyful noise was released a week after Donald Trump was sworn in as president, ushering in a time when many feel anything but hopeful about the future. When you’re feeling scared or sad, music that explodes out of your speaker can often be the exact opposite of what you may want to hear.

But looking out on the sea of people shouting along the lyrics with their hands in the air, I was reminded that music doesn’t need to be political or topical to accomplish a vital goal — bringing people together.

This magic ability was emphasized by show-opener, and leader of The Hold Steady, Craig Finn who commended the audience for ignoring the many, many things in modern society that keep us at home, and instead going to a rock show.

“You’re seeing old friends, or making new ones,” he said. “Being together is the big thing.”

As I felt myself get swept up in the music with my fellow concertgoers, the truth of this became thrillingly clear. None of us were shouting at each other about what the government was or wasn’t doing, or looking

A diverse community Jann Halloran, minister at Prairie Unitarian Universalist Church for 17 years, says the church’s progressive nature is what attracts many to the faith, but it can catch some by surprise.

“When people join our church I make sure they understand that since the 1970s we’ve been supporting gay and lesbian, transgender rights. We have a Black Lives Matter banner in our sanctuary,” she said.

If they’re uncomfortable with that, they may be uncomfortable with other aspects of the community.

“We honor people in their jour-

neys and I know that sometimes we’re not the right fit,” she said.

The American Unitarian Association was founded in 1825, and the Universalist Church of America was founded in 1973. In 1961, the two consolidated, according to the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Both churches had roots in Christianity.

Although all Unitarian churches are different, it is a space where different beliefs are respected, members say.

Some members are atheist. Some come from traditional Christian backgrounds, others Buddhism.

Halloran, for example, was raised

at each other with distrust. Every time my eyes met another’s, we were both smiling, and we were all speaking the same words. United.

So take a moment to go out to a concert or movie or a gallery, and experience art with other people.

It doesn’t have to be this kind of music, although the catharsis that comes from a really loud rock show cannot be overstated. It’s just something you enjoy, that you can experience with others.

And take the advice of Japandroids in their song, “In A Body Like A Grave”: “So break the bank like you’re breaking a bill And love so hard that time stands still If your name is shame, though your love is loss Swap the city’s lights for the southern cross Gather the gang and make that night.”

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he knows what the nights of wine and roses hold.

Southern Baptist but today believes God is not a being or a trinity, but rather a spirit that means something different to each person.

On the political front, Halloran is pro-choice and believes in climate change. And while not all of those in her congregation agree, Unitarian Universalism is a way they can bond nonetheless.

Differences don’t divide Unitarian Universalists, but rather unite them, she said, and it allows progressives to stay connected with their faith.

“If you ever want the liberal religious perspective on something,” she said, “we are the people to contact.”

National Merit Scholarship finalists announced Douglas County students in running for financial aid

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More than 20 students from Douglas County high schools are in the running for one of the most renowned scholarships in the United States.

The National Merit Scholarship Program was established in 1955 to promote greater support for scientific education and appreciation for higher education, against a backdrop of the Cold War and a public climate of seeming indifference toward intellectual accomplishment.

The program begins each year with a pool of approximately 1.6 million applicants that is pared down to 15,000 finalists. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation is sponsored privately by more than 400 private entities.

According to its website, the organization has recognized more than 3 million students and awarded more than 414,000 scholarships worth more than $1.6 billion since its inception.

The following students were selected as final-

ists for the National Merit $2,500 Scholarships.

They are also eligible for corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards and college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards. Approximately 50 percent of all finalists will win some form of scholarship, according to the NMSC website.

Winners will be notified by mail sometime between March and June.

The following students, organized by school, have been named as finalists: • Douglas County High School: Lynnae A. Johnson • Highlands Ranch High School: Adam Klein; Aaron Lou; Lily Y. Xie; Samuel P. Serra • Legend High School: Josie Van Divier; Ansh S. Desai • Mountain Vista High School: Samuel J. Atlas • Ponderosa High School: Christopher E. Waid • Rock Canyon High School: Aidan W.

‘You touched more hearts than just mine that day’ Detective Dan Brite thanks surgeon who saved his life during council ceremony

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Drumming his fingers on his shirtsleeve, an emotional Dan Brite looked into the eyes of the man who saved his life to thank him.

“Dr. Bertocchi literally held my heart in his hands while he massaged it back to life,” the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office detective said. “You touched more hearts than just mine that day.”

About 80 people gathered at Parker’s Town Hall on March 6 to watch Brite’s expression of gratitude during a presentation honoring the life-saving work of doctors, nurses and staff at Parker Adventist Hospital.

The ceremony opened with a video recounting the events of Sept. 2, when Randall Rodick, a resident of unincorporated Douglas County, near Parker, opened fire on Brite and fellow officers from the sheriff ’s office and the Parker Police Department. The officers were responding to a 911 call, placed by Rodick’s wife, warning police that he was armed and suicidal. A bullet pierced Brite’s side and he was rushed to the hospital as other officers pursued and ultimately killed Rodick.

Dr. Michael Bertocchi, left, and Detective Dan Brite embrace after an emotional ceremony to honor the staff at Parker Adventist Hospital. Brite was taken to the hospital’s ER without a pulse on Sept. 2 after being wounded in a shootout before Bertocchi and his staff resuscitated him.

TOM SKELLEY After the video, Parker Mayor Mike Waid thanked the first responders who arrived at a moment’s notice to get Brite to the emergency room, then presented a plaque and specially-made coins to hospital CEO Sam Huenergardt and trauma surgeon Dr. Michael Bertocchi.

“It was an extraordinary day,” Huenergardt said of the day of the shooting, “a day that could have been consumed by chaos … but instead, goodness and kindness prevailed.”

He went on to tell stories of a few of the staff who came back on duty as they were leaving, or bought 100 Chickfil-A sandwiches for police officers at the hospital, or checked in on the fam-

ily, throughout that day.

Bertocchi, the surgeon who received and resuscitated Brite, spoke next, stating that the Brite family members “represent the best of humanity.” He paraphrased a surgeon he idolized who said that doctors and staff do the work in a hospital, “but the patients make it meaningful.”

Holding his daughter in his arms, Bertocchi then listened as Brite thanked him for the gift of more time to spend with his own daughters, and the chance to make more memories with his wife.

Brite, a Castle Rock resident, was brought to the hospital with no vital signs after losing a lot of blood. After

manually massaging Brite’s heart, the staff tried several attempts at defibrillation, all of which failed.

“Doctors and nurses in the operating room asked each other if there was anything else thay could do, and nobody had an answer, so Dr. Bertocchi decided to shock my heart one more time,” Brite said. “And it worked. I was alive.”

After the ceremony, Bertocchi acknowledged the emotional impact of Brite’s speech.

“It hits home when he’s sitting there with his girls and I’m sitting there with my girls,” Bertocchi said. “It’s just a wonderful thing.”

“It was important that I (thanked him), and nobody else,” said Brite, who returned to light duty work at the sheriff ’s office less than a month ago. “He’s the one that saved my life so he needs to hear it from me and he needs the recognition … All of the nurses and doctors that day were amazing … they don’t get nearly as much recognition as they should.”

For his part, Bertocchi said he was just doing what he and his coworkers at the hospital are trained to do. The accolades and recognition are appreciated, he said, but the work continues.

“It’s certainly humbling that’s for sure,” he said. “We’re lucky to have such a highly trained group that’s up there and people who are fun to work with and people who really take pride in what they do. So we’ll just keep doing it.”

Young women make time to ‘Shine’ Legend students co-hosted women’s empowerment conference, which drew Missy Franklin

MORE INFORMATION To learn more about the Shine Summit or how to get involved with next year’s event, contact Staci Batterson, assistant principal and activities director at Legend High School, at snbatterson@dcsdk12.org.

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The word of the day was “power” as young women from local middle and high schools converged to celebrate the impact unified and empowered women have on the world.

“You are totally in control of who you are and what you can do,” said Missy Franklin, five-time Olympic gold medal swimmer and keynote speaker for the third annual Shine Summit.

“Please dream big,” she said.

The summit was held at Denver First Church in Cherry Hills Village on March 10. Frankiln’s speech addressed bullying and gossiping, making sacrifices to achieve a dream, and overcoming the pressure a lot of young women feel to be perfect.

She used her recent performance at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, when she failed to qualify for an event she medaled in four years ago, as an example of imperfections leading to greater empowerment.

“I had to make a choice in that

I could wallow about this or I could use it to take charge,” said Franklin, a Centennial resident who graduated from Regis Jesuit High School. “As hard as that can be, you all have that power within you.”

Legend High School senior and organizer Steph Norden said Franklin’s willingness to show her vulnerability made the message more meaningful.

“Most of us would think `what do I have in common with her,’” Norden said. “It makes you realize that we’re all similar, and we don’t always realize that.”

More than 350 female students from schools in and around Douglas County attended the event, designed to reinforce the theme that women make the world a better place when they believe

in themselves and support each other.

Legend and Regis Jesuit students worked together to line up speakers and presenters on topics including women in the workplace and maintaining healthy relationships.

Staci Batterson, assistant principal and activities director at Legend, said she’s proud of the way the Shine Summit, in its third year, has grown from a schoolwide to a regional event, and she’s inspired by the work speakers and former attendees have done.

“I’ve always been blown away by the power of women when we get together,” Batterson said. “I’m in awe of the impact they’re making in the community.”

Franklin mentioned that the event took place two days after International Women’s Day, to a round of applause.

She said the timing amplified the feeling of community and liberation she sensed among the attendees.

“You never know where or when your dream will come true, but believe that it will.” Franklin said. “You guys can make all the difference in the world that you want to if you just believe in your own power.”

The force is with The Rock church in Castle Rock, which recently hosted a special “Star Wars” event that raised $7,000 for the church’s community programs.

The event took place March 4 at the Douglas County Event Center, 500 Fairgrounds Road. “Star Wars” characters such as Darth Vader, R2-D2 and Princess Leia interacted with families throughout the day. Activities included photos in the Hoth Ice Cave, making light sabers and Jedi training classes led by local martial arts instructors.

The Rock partnered with the Colorado chapter of Corellian DroidWorks to bring the “Star Wars” character impersonators to Castle Rock.

Approximately 2,000 people attended the event.

“We were so thankful for the community turnout for the ‘Star Wars’ event, which supports assisting families in need within our community,” lead pastor Mike Polhemus said.

Women hike, united to end human trafficking Local women walk, run, climb for a worldwide cause

MORE INFORMATION To learn more, participate or donate to the FREEDOM CHALLENGE OR OPERATION MOBILIZATION, visit omusa.org and thefreedomchallenge.com

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM PATSY LANGE

A group of women walked together in Lone Tree to help end human trafficking.

The Freedom Steps walk took place around the Bluffs Regional Park Trail in Lone Tree on Feb. 25. The 24 women who participated in the hike helped raise $5,725 for the cause.

The Freedom Challenge is a ministry run by Operation Mobilization.

Both are Christian ministries that help free enslaved women and children from around the world through their 54 project sites. The participants in the Freedom Challenge raise money through physical trials, such as rock climbing or endurance races.

“It is kind of equating the difficulty of what (enslaved people) face,” said Patsy Lange, the Colorado event coordinator. “They’re climbing their own mountains out of trafficking and out of prostitution.”

This was the first year that the Freedom Challenge had a Freedom Steps event. More than 200 participants attended events in Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Colorado.

Patsy Lange organized a Freedom Steps walk to raise money for her Freedom Challenge hike in Estes Park this summer. She has taken part in the Freedom Challenge since 2013 and said that she loves pairing her passion for hiking and climbing with her desire to help enslaved people around the world.

COURTESY PHOTO Nicole Turner, the Freedom Challenge’s administrator at the headquarters in Atlanta, organized the Georgia Freedom Steps event.

“The community showed their support really well,” Turner said. “We empower and engage women in the states to rise up and challenge themselves physically to fund projects overseas.”

Lange, through the Freedom Steps event, is raising money to participate in a three-day Freedom Challenge climb in Rocky Mountain National Park from July 8-12.

Family Owned, Family Run • Colorado Company for Coloradans • 31 Years and Running • Award Winning • Residential and Commercial • Dedicated Friendly Staff

Local climbs, such as the upcoming Rocky Mountain National Park trip, require a donation of at least $3,500 per participant. The Freedom Steps event was created to help raise these funds.

All money raised is donated to Operation Mobilization — the additional $800 in trip costs are covered by participants.

Funds go to a variety of projects in 118 different countries run by Operation Mobilization. The donations go to prevent, develop, rescue and restore

individuals from human trafficking.

Money goes to women’s and children’s education, aid for women to start their own businesses and to directly help free enslaved people around the world.

In 2015, Lange visited France with a team to help the French branch of the Operation Mobilization ministry provide aid and rehabilitation to prostitutes and enslaved people.

Lange’s interest in ending human trafficking started in 2012 when the pastor of her church, Mission Hills Church in Littleton, asked Lange to give a presentation on the issue. She started attending and organizing Colorado events for the Freedom Challenge and Operation Mobilization.

In 2014, the Rocky Mountain National Park climbing trip totaled 75 women and in 2016, 160 women participated.

As of now, Lange is the only person on her team participating in the summer climb in Rocky Mountain National Park.

“I love to hike and I love to walk,” Lange said. “To be able to bring together awareness and feel like I am helping women and children is a perfect fit for me.”

RAISING AWARENESS New Hope Preschool in Castle Rock, 3737 New Hope Way, recognized Rare Disease Day on Feb. 28. All students and staff wore denim, as most rare diseases are in a person’s genes, Assistant Director Clare Wilson said. Throughout the day, the school collected donations for Global Genes, an advocacy group seeking to bring awareness to rare diseases and their challenges. The cause hits close to home for New Hope Preschool, where 3-year-old Truett attends school with his older sister. Truett suffers from an undiagnosed disease that left him paralyzed and dependent on ventilators and feeding tubes. The school raised a total of $300 for Global Genes.

Mission complete: Valor claims crown Top-ranked Eagles win 4A title over Lewis-Palmer

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian’s boys basketball team headed into the 2016-17 season with great expectations.

The Eagles lived up to them by winning the Class 4A state championship, 68-55 over Lewis-Palmer on March 11.

With nine seniors returning from last season’s state runner-up team, a state championship was the main objective for the Eagles this year.

“This was kind of mission one all year long,” said second-year coach Troy Pachner, who won a 3A state title at D’Evelyn in 2004.

“We needed to do it. We needed to move this program to the next level. We’ve been there for a long time and I have to give credit to the guys before me that laid a good foundation. We feel like we kind of took the next step and we want to stay there.”

Jalen Sanders, the Eagles’ 6-foot-5 senior scoring leader for the season, could never erase thoughts of redemption after a 70-51 loss to Pueblo West in the 2016 title game.

“It was always in the back of my mind,” Sanders said. “We had a senior retreat and we talked about that last week. We just wanted this championship. It’s my dream come true. It feels better than I ever thought it would feel.”

ustin McCaw sat on the floor following ThunderRidge’s Class 5A semifinal loss to George Washington and absorbed a tough American basketball lesson.

It was one of those agony-of-defeat moments OVERTIME on March 10.

McCaw, a 6-foot-2 junior from Kapfenberg, Austria, lives with his uncle Terrel Respass and moved to the United States to learn, both on the basketball court and in the classroom.

“I really want to go to Jim Benton college,” he said.

It took a little time for McCaw, who has dual citizenship because his father is an American citizen, to adjust to basketball in the United States after playing club ball in Kapfenberg.

“It was harder than expected,” said McCaw, who speaks fluent English. “It was a big adjustment from the European style of basketball. That’s why I didn’t score a lot at the beginning of the season. I played on a great team that had my back. With these guys, after time, it was easy to adjust.”

McCaw averaged 8.5 points and 3.2 rebounds a game but scored in double digits in 12 of the last 17 games.

“I’m way better than at the start of the season,” McCaw said. “Actually, I don’t think I’m better, just more confident. I could make the plays in Austria and make big 3s. Taking charges is the worst thing ever. That was the biggest adjustment. We really didn’t have charges in Austria.

“I still haven’t adjusted. I still go into the lane with my full body contact, full speed and guys take charges on me all the time.”

McCaw will keep learning next season.

Plus he plans to run track this spring and go out for football next fall.

Smiles tell the story Valor Christian senior Kayle Knuckles didn’t play competitive basketball until he was a freshman. He instead participated in football, baseball and lacrosse.

He proved to be a quick learner, earning Most Valuable Player honors in the Class 4A Final Four with 32 points and 12 rebounds in the Eagles’ 68-55 championship game victory over Lewis-Palmer on March 11.

“I started playing basketball in eighth grade but freshman year was when I started playing competitive basketball,” Knuckles said. “I never really liked basketball until I played it.”

Valor Christian coach Troy Pachner enjoyed watching Knuckles develop his basketball skills.

“He’s a natural athlete but he works at it and brings great joy to the sport,” he said.

“It’s a game that is supposed to be fun and we sometimes overlook that. Kayle is a guy that you can’t get a smile off his face.”

Jaguars edged out of title shot In state semifinals, Rock Canyon falls to Eaglecrest in overtime

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rock Canyon’s Sam Masten goes in for the layup. The Jaguars got knocked out of the playoffs by the Raptors March 10 at the Denver Coliseum by the score of 61-60.

PAUL DISALVO

Rock Canyon boys basketball coach Kent Grams had a dream the night before the Jaguars played Eaglecrest in the Class 5A semifinals at the Denver Coliseum.

Unfortunately for Rock Canyon, his dream didn’t come true.

“I had a dream that Sam (Masten) scored 37 points and we won,” Grams said.

Masten, the Jaguars’ 6-foot3 junior guard, tried his best and scored 34 points but Rock Canyon lost, 61-60, in overtime to top-seeded Eaglecrest on March 10.

It was Rock Canyon’s first trip to the Final Four and the fifthseeded Jaguars almost made it the state championship game, but instead ended the season with a 23-4 record.

“Sam only got 34 but the team fought and competed,” Grams said. “That’s all you can ask. We have nothing to be ashamed of.

The kids should be extremely proud. They represent us in the right way. Did you see our student section? It was crazy. The support these guys have earned is unrecognizable.”

It appeared for a while that the Jaguars would have their fans return to the Coliseum for the title game.

Rock Canyon led by 10 points in the second quarter and was ahead 52-49 with 2:41 remaining in regulation.

“We were in the bonus and were hoping to get free throws and get the ball in Sam’s hands as much as possible,” Grams said. “We missed a couple free throws down the stretch and had a couple costly turnovers.”

It took a Masten twisting layup to tie the game at 54 with 21.2 seconds on the clock to send the game into a four-minute overtime.

Rock Canyon, which notched a buzzer-beating quarterfinal win over Grandview, was ahead 60-56 with 1:15 remaining in overtime but the Raptors’ Colbey Ross scored twice to tie the game.

The Jaguars had a chance for the winning shot but turned the ball over with 4.4 seconds remaining. It was Rock Canyon’s

second turnover in the final 45 seconds.

“We had the turnover,” Grams said. “It went off someone’s foot. I don’t know whose foot it was. It is what it is. “ After a timeout, Eaglecrest inbounded the ball. Josh Walton raced down the lane and was fouled. He made the second of two free throws with less than a second remaining to win the game.

“I have to give Eaglecrest so much credit,” Grams said.

“There were so relentless with their pressure that your focus couldn’t waiver at all...

“Colbey Ross is one of the best competitors I’ve ever seen, had the privilege to watch and coach against.”

Ross finished with 25 points.

Matsen scored five of Rock Canyon’ six overtime points.

Tyson Gilbert was also in double figures with 15 points for the Jaguars, which allowed 18 points off 13 turnovers.

Gilbert had a team-high seven rebounds.

Rock Canyon will return five juniors next season that had significant playing time this year.

“We had opportunities to win,” Grams said. “We have too much heart. We’ll be back.”

Powerlifting champions Ethan Ward and Ren Scimzu, members of the Iron Eagle powerlifting club at Mountain Vista High school, won their age and weight classes at the USA Powerlifting State Championships on Feb. 11.

Ward is a two-time state champion in the T-1, 165-pound class.

March 16, 2017M trailed in the title game at the Denver Coliseum after Knuckles scored the first basket of the game as Valor went on to win its 16th straight game and end the season with a 24-4 record.

Lewis-Palmer had momentum in the third period and pulled to within four points, but Knuckles stalled the rally with a 3-point basket and an old-fashioned 3-point play off an assist from Sanders.

“That just kind of ended the game at that moment,” Pachner

said. “Lewis-Palmer was very well coached and that was a great team. Every time they got close, Kayle had a dagger, whether it was a 3-ball or at the rim, and it was special.”

Knuckles passed on taking all the credit.

“It was big to get our lead back up to be more comfortable, but I wouldn’t have scored without everybody passing me the ball,” he said.

Sanders finished with 18 points,

eight rebounds and six assists, while senior guard Keisan Crosby had 12 points and six assists for the Eagles, who shot 53.1 percent from the field.

“It feels great to win the championship,” Pachner said. “I thought we had an outstanding year. The whole group deserves this. Defensively, what I liked about this group, we could press, play straight up or mix some zone in. They had great basketball aptitude. It’s like anything in the closet would work.”

The T-1 class is for students 14 to 15 years old. He is ranked seventh nationally and will be competing for a national championship in May. Scimzu captured the T-2, 165-pound class, which is for students 16 to 17 years old. He will also be lifting at the national championships.

However, Faith Christian’s incredible run to the 3A boys championship game should be noted.

The Eagles, seeded 13th, beat previously undefeated Resurrection Christian in the second round and edged top-seeded Kent Denver, 50-48, in the semifinals when Johan Garner scored the final six points to push the Arvada school into the finals against Sterling.

Faith Christian was seeking

their seventh state title, but the extraordinary run ended. The Eagles were outscored 8-2 in the final two minutes and missed a last-second 3-point shot in a 4847 loss to the Tigers in the title contest.

Castle Pines Storm seeking summer swimmers

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Castle Pines Storm is a summer recreational swim league that breeds a love for the sport, coaches say.

“I like to see how — especially with the 6 and unders — it can develop a love for swimming,” said Rachel Stanek, an assistant coach and senior at Rock Canyon High School. “It helps kids find something that they are passionate about.”

The Castle Pines Storm swim league is coming up on its eighth season. The program begins the day after Memorial Day and ends in the third week of July. Practices are held on weekdays at the Castle Pines HOA 1 pool, 7233 Tenby Way. There are typically about 90 to 100 swimmers, ages 5 to 18 years old.

There are no requirements to join, as long as participants are able to make it down a 25-meter pool unassisted. The co-ed program is divided based on age and ability.

There are five swim meets starting in early June and ending in July. Participants may qualify for championship and all-star meets, which are both held in mid-July.

The cost is $160 for the season, which includes several activities, such as a kickoff pancake breakfast, a big and little mentor program, a 13 and older dinner, a 12 and younger bowling activity with the coaches, a tie-dye party, pep rallies, a community service project and more.

Castle Pines Storm is now looking for families and children in Castle

HOW TO SIGN UP There will be a mandatory meeting for parents and swimmers for the Castle Pines Storm from 4-6 p.m. on April 9 at Eastridge Recreation Center, 9568 S University Blvd., Highlands Ranch.

Returning swimmer registration opens on March 19. New swimmer registration opens April 9.

For more information and to register, visit www.castlepinesstorm.com.

Pines North, Highlands Ranch and surrounding areas to join the league, which has made strides in recent years.

Five years ago, the team was at the bottom of the D Division of the Mountain Hi Swim League, an amateur swimming league that serves the Denver metro area. With the help of head coach Christina Kwon and her seven assistant and junior coaches, the team has exceled to the top of the B Division.

“I think of how they can learn the proper stroke and technique and understand the rules of swimming, as well as have fun,” said Kwon, who also coaches the Highlands Ranch High School boys swimming team. “We work hard but we tend to have a lot of fun at practices and meets.”

Stanek swam on the team for six years before she became a coach three years ago. She recalls how the league fostered her love for swimming and hopes it does the same for other swimmers.

“I saw how the program had the ability to develop young swimmers,” she said. “Swimming has always been one of my passions, so decided that I wanted to help younger generations.”

Public notice is given on January 26, 2017 that a Petition for a Change of Name of an adult has been filed with the Douglas County Court.

NOTICE OF SALE The current holder of the Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust described herein, has filed written election and demand for sale as provided by law and in said Deed of Trust.

THEREFORE, Notice Is Hereby Given that on the first possible sale date (unless the sale is continued*) at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, April 12, 2017, at the Public Trustee’s office, 402 Wilcox Street, Castle Rock, Colorado, I will sell at public auction to the highest and best bidder for cash, the said real property and all interest of said Grantor(s), Grantor(s)’ heirs and assigns therein, for the purpose of paying the indebtedness provided in said Evidence of Debt secured by the Deed of Trust, plus attorneys’ fees, the expenses of sale and other items allowed by law, and will deliver to the purchaser a Certificate of Purchase, all as provided by law.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.

Groundwater to be augmented: 177 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater as decreed in Case No. 86CW057, District Court, Water Division 1. Applicant is the owner of 434 acres and the underlying groundwater which is the subject of this application, located in parts of Sections 27, 28 and 33, T10S, R67W of the 6th P.M. as shown on Attachment A hereto (Subject Property). Applicant also has the right to withdraw and use 30 acre-feet per year of Dawson aquifer groundwater on the Subject Property pursuant to Case No. 13CW3070, and the groundwater which is the subject of this application will be withdrawn in combination with that groundwater, for the same uses, and with the same conditions as referenced in the decree in Case No. 13CW3070. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary Dawson aquifer groundwater and return flows and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property as previously decreed in this court in Case No. 86CW056. Statement of plan for augmentation: The Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used for limited domestic use, irrigation of lawn, garden, trees, hay and pasture, stockwatering and storage. 90% of the water used for domestic use will return to the stream system using non-evaporative septic systems and 15% of water used for irrigation use will return to the stream system. Water used for stockwatering and storage is considered to be 100% consumed and water may be stored prior to irrigation use. During pumping Applicant will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c), C.R.S. Pursuant to prior decree in Case No. 13CW3070, the actual depletion at 100 years of pumping is 7.549% of the annual amount withdrawn. Depletions occur to the East Plum Creek stream system. Return flows from use of the groundwater from domestic and irrigation use will accrue to the South Platte River system and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped.

If the return flows are not sufficient to replace actual depletions in any year, Applicant will replace the required depletion using the Dawson aquifer groundwater herein or from an existing nontributary Denver aquifer well located on the Subject Property. Applicant will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet future augmentation requirements. Further, Applicant prays that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (4 pages).
