Community forum tackles topic of youth mental health Teens share their personal stories with Douglas County residents

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two years ago, Kirstie June was admitted to Children’s Hospital Colorado for an eating disorder. The now senior at Chaparral High School in Parker was on the dance team. Revealing uniforms, paired with a pressure to maintain a certain body type, left her comparing herself to her teammates.

June lost so much weight that her heart rate became alarmingly low. She stayed in inpatient treatment at the hospital for five weeks.

Today, with help from a program at school called Sources of Strength and the support of her loved ones, June is in a different place.

“It was the best experience I’ve ever had,” she said of receiving treatment.

“I grew as a person. I met kids who were going through similar things.”

The teen was one of three speakers to share their experiences with mental health challenges April 26 at the first in a series of community mental health forums, hosted by Colorado Community Media, the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative and Douglas County Libraries.

Kirstie June shared her experience of having an eating disorder at the first Time to Talk community forum on mental health at the Lone Tree Library, 10055 Library Way, on April 26. “There is no snap of the finger,” she said of recovering from a mental illness.

faith community, public health organizations and law enforcement, the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative aims to create an integrated mental health-care system and educate the public on mental-health resources.

The forum is in conjunction with Colorado Community Media’s eightpart series, called Time to Talk, that looks at mental health in Douglas County, specifically in areas of law enforcement, youths, seniors, the workplace and families.

The goal of the forum — which will be held throughout the year at libraries across Douglas County — is to get the community talking about mental health in hopes of helping individuals who are struggling. One in five people in the U.S. live with a mental illness, which means everyone knows someone who has a mental health problem or has had one.

Held at Lone Tree Library, 10055 Library Way, the first forum focused on the mental health of today’s youths.

Keynote speaker Andrew Romanoff, CEO of Mental Health Colorado, started off by putting mental illness into perspective: About 250,000 people in Colorado live with a severe mental illness and 1 million people live with any type of mental illness, he said. Yet only 40 percent get the treatment they need.

“The point is, this is not some exotic disease that is confined to one section of the population,” said Romanoff. “It touches every family.”

Romanoff highlighted the importance of early intervention and utilizing evidence-based programs in schools, such as Sources of Strength, a youth suicide prevention program currently in 15 middle and high schools in Douglas County. The program promotes seeking help and building peer-to-peer connections.

Suicide hits close to home for Romanoff. Three years ago, he lost his

younger cousin, whom he refers to as a “baby sister,” to suicide. She had been suffering from a deep depression that she hid from her family and friends, Romanoff said.

“She didn’t want anyone to know she was depressed or suicidal or mentally ill,” he shared with the crowd of more than 50 community members at the forum. “I wanted to share her story with you not because it is so unique, but because it is so common.”

The forum also offered the perspective of two teens. Kristen Torres, a graduate of Chaparral High School, served on the Mental Health Youth Action Board for Children’s Hospital Colorado. Made up of 15 young people from the Denver metro area, the board’s mission is to raise awareness about and de-stigmatize mental health issues.

Torres joined the board after her own experience with mental health challenges. In seventh grade, she started having chest pain, which she later discovered was anxiety manifesting itself into physical symptoms, she said.

Girls were mean in high school, said Torres, and at one point she considered taking her life. She went to a counselor, who suggested she go to an emergency room.

Today, Torres sees a counselor and listens to her body and emotions when she feels anxious. She goes to Colorado State University and aspires to be a psychologist so she can help others.

Torres lives by two mantras: “Focus your attention on what matters,” she said. And, “refuse to be ashamed.”

Debbie Glossip, a resident from Parker, walked away from the forum with information to share with her friends, she said. She knows multiple people who have lost loved ones to suicide in recent years.

“People are paying attention, it’s a good start,” said Glossip. “I love hearing people’s stories.”

John Thirkell, the senior assistant attorney of Douglas County, called the speakers of the evening “brave individuals.” Every day, he works with families who struggle to find continuous care for a loved one with a mental illness in the criminal justice system.

“As a society, we need to do a much better job of making informed, effective and compassionate healthcare available to people,” Thirkell said. “We need to change public attitude.”

Andrew Romanoff, president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, speaks at the first Time to Talk community mental health forum at Lone Tree Library, 10055 Library Way. “In some ways, I think we are at war here,” Romanoff said of the country’s high suicide rate. “It’s just not a war we have declared, but it’s a war we can win.”

Tolls, added lane each direction proposed for ‘Gap’ Public has one month to review study outlining plans for stretch of I-25

“We’re certainly hearing that they do not want to have a third lane tolled. That’s the number one thing that I hear.”

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tolls and a three-lane interstate in each direction it is — at least for now.

The Colorado Department of Transportation Executive Director Michael Lewis announced April 26 that his department is moving forward with a recommendation to widen the infamous 18-mile stretch of Interstate 25 between Castle Rock and Monument called the Gap by adding one tolled express lane in each direction.

The announcement is part of the agency’s environmental assessment study for the Gap, released online April 27. That study also outlines CDOT’s plans to replace four bridges along the Gap, add four new wildlife crossings and resurface existing lanes, among several other improvements.

“This is a major milestone for CDOT and the I-25 Gap project,” Lewis said.

So, here’s what the road will look like if designs stay as is (which they likely will): Starting at the center median, CDOT will build a 15-foot shoulder. That’s to provide space for broken-down cars to safely pull off the interstate, Lewis said, or emergency personnel

Mark Waller El Paso County Commissioner to station vehicles and move left-lane accidents off the roadway.

Then comes the express lane, which will be separated from the generalpurpose lanes by a four-foot buffer and rumble strip. Next are two, 12-feet free lanes, and lastly, a 12-foot right shoulder.

A final design decision will come in June or July after a one-month public comment period for the study.

Construction could begin by this summer. The toll fare remains unknown, although estimated to be in the range of $3 to $6. Regardless, the rate will fluctuate based on traffic volumes.

The state has conditionally approved $250 million for the project. Douglas County is bringing $10 million, El Paso $15 million, the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority $10 million, and CDOT hopes to secure a $65 million, highly competitive federal grant for the project by June.

The Gap hasn’t seen widening since the 1960s despite stark increases in

CINCO DE MAYO

traffic and congestion that often result in accidents and traffic delays. More than 1,800 crashes between 2011 and 2015 resulted in 619 injuries and five fatalities.

And as for how long it takes to travel the Gap, well, that’s anyone’s guess.

Trip reliability is one of the top concerns aside from public safety, Lewis said.

If nothing is done by 2040, Lewis said, traveling the Gap during morning rush hour could take 45 minutes, and 70 minutes during the afternoon.

Nearly everyone agrees the Gap is in desperate need of improvements, but not all agree on what that should look like. There remains opposition to both a toll lane and limiting the widening to three lanes each direction.

El Paso County Commissioner Mark Waller said: “Four lanes is the way to go.”

“I think that’s what needs to happen, and it needs to happen now,” he said.

The cost of building a fourth lane on

the Gap could be as much as $150 million, he said. The total project budget for the three-lane plan is $350 million.

“If we have the chance to get this done for well under $450 million I think we should do it now,” he said.

CDOT held numerous listening session in Colorado Springs, where public reaction to the third tolled lane was bleak. Waller said his constituents view it as double taxation. El Paso County already dedicated $15 million to the project.

“We’re certainly hearing that they do not want to have a third lane tolled.

That’s the number one thing that I hear,” Waller said, adding he’d compromise for a toll lane if CDOT agreed to build three general-purpose lanes.

And Castle Rock Town Councilman George Teal, who sat on The Gap’s steering committee, said three lanes is short-sighted. He doubts that would withstand capacity levels even as soon as 2024.

“If the work is completed in 2021, we’re only buying ourselves two years of lack of congestion,” he said. “It’s not a 10-year solution.”

Most of the town’s commuters head north to the Denver metro, Teal said, but employers tell him many of their staff come from south of town.

“So, what’s been going on with the Gap and the delays and the congestion hasn’t probably affected people who live here in Castle Rock, but it’s cerSEE GAP, P11

Diane Holbert sets sights on permanent commissioner position Ex-treasurer filling David Weaver’s former seat during campaign

“The way she went after technology and transparency — both she and the assessor just did a fabulous job at coming up with new ways for citizens to access government information. That’s really what I think stuck out the most for me.”

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of profiles on candidates for the District 1 Douglas County commissioner seat. Candidates on the primary ballot are Republicans Diane Holbert and Abe Laydon, and Democrat Mary Lynch.

Holly Nicholson-Kluth said as soon as she heard Douglas County Treasurer Diane Holbert was considering a run for Douglas County commissioner, she was on board.

“I stepped up and said, `I support you,’” Nicholson-Kluth said.

Although she currently serves as Douglas County’s undersheriff, Nicholson-Kluth made clear her endorsement comes from her as an individual, not as a county official.

“Being a resident of Douglas County for 28 years and being a law enforcement officer all of that time, I value a commissioner that is in it for the right reasons, that doesn’t have a personal agenda,” she said. “When she asked me to support her, I jumped at the chance.”

He’ll share secrets of filming lions, crocs, elephants, and spectacular scenery, and tell how he cracked the “Gorongosa code”—learning to read the landscape and find prime locations for filming the park’s spectacular wildlife.

MetLife Bank, overseeing branches from Detroit to Colorado.

“My whole career I worked for varying banks. I was a banking professional both on the mortgaging side and the risk-management side,” Holbert, 53, said.

Holbert is currently serving on Douglas County’s board of commissioners. She was elected by the Douglas County Republican Party’s vacancy committee to serve as the District 1 commissioner through January after David Weaver left the position to accept a nomination as Colorado’s U.S. marshal.

Holbert grew up in a politically active family, she said, and carried on the torch by remaining involved in Douglas County’s Republican Party for more than a decade before becoming treasurer.

First on her to-do list once in office was re-negotiating all the county’s contracts, she said.

“We need to always freshen those relationships and not assume that the private sector is looking out for the best use of the public’s tax dollars,” she said.

Her first term also included taking aim at the county’s callable debt, paying it of in November 2012.

“The main job of public funds is to keep that money safe, not to garner a yield, but with that said we needed to think outside the box and look at opportunities and one of those was to pay off our remaining callable debt,” Holbert said.

“That saved us about $1 million of interest.”

Come Holbert’s second term as treasurer, she joined forces with county Assessor Lisa Frizell to help spearhead the county’s open-data project.

“I call it the death of the PDF,” Holbert said.

The data project includes Analyze Douglas County, an online portal where residents can dig through the county’s budget, expenditures and fund balances.

Frizell, who has endorsed Holbert for commissioner, credited Holbert for leading the way on the open-data project and for initiating a partnership

with Amazon, which enabled Douglas County Alexa owners to ask the home device questions about their county government.

“She’s the one who picked up the phone and called Amazon,” Frizell said.

“That’s the kind of person she is.

She’s a doer. She’s not somebody who sits back and asks somebody to act on her behalf.”

Both Holbert’s opponents for commissioner, Republican Abe Laydon and Democrat Mary Lynch, have taken aim at parts of her platform.

From Laydon’s camp, campaign materials allude to “nepotism” and “favoritism,” albeit without naming names.

“I have no relative employed by Douglas County or in any related elected office already governing you,” reads one of Laydon’s fliers.

Holbert’s husband is state Sen. Chris Holbert and her son, Victor, is a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office.

In speaking with Colorado Community Media, Laydon was more direct, saying he believed he’d be better equipped to objectively handle issues regarding the sheriff ’s office and said having “that much power concentrated in one married couple” is “not wise.”

And Lynch said while the open-data project is well-intended, providing the public access to data doesn’t make it “accessible,” or easy to use. Still, the open data project gained favor with Nicholson-Kluth.

“The way she went after technology and transparency — both she and the assessor just did a fabulous job at coming up with new ways for citizens to access government information,” she said. “That’s really what I think stuck out the most for me.”

Frizell is also quick to defend Holbert.

“Candidly, the fact that Mrs. Holbert’s son works in the sheriff ’s office has nothing to do with her service as an elected official,” she said, referencing the Laydon campaign materials.

Holbert is ready to respond as well.

“I am a professional and I have worked within my role of elected treasurer without any influence from my husband one way or another. My son Victor serves behind that thin blue line. He is that line that keeps us safe,” she said. “I am proud of their service to the community and it is nothing to be embarrassed about.”

As a commissioner, Holbert vows she’d prevent the county from morphing into California — Laydon’s campaign makes the same promise — by preventing urban sprawl and “development for development’s sake.” Mostly, Holbert said, she’s looking to continue working in Douglas County.

“I have a continued passion to serve locally. I have no interest in using a political office to get to another political office,” she said.

“This is where I live and this is where I want to serve.”

Leaders in Douglas County have mixed feelings about talk of a ballot initiative that would re-allocate a portion of the county’s sales tax to security in the school district.

Sheriff Tony Spurlock is in support, he said at a public forum on the issue on April 28 at Legend High School in Parker. County Commissioner Lora Thomas believes any conversation of school security should be led by the school district. And the Douglas County Board of Education has not taken a stance on the issue, board President David Ray said.

The conversation began in March, when the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office’s Public Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) — made up of residents who advise the sheriff about operations, budget and community safety programs — formed a subcommittee to address security at the Douglas County School District, in response to gun-violence tragedies nationwide.

The subcommittee is considering asking county commissioners to approve a ballot initiative this November for additional funding for school security. The justice center sales tax has a 0.13 percent portion for capital needs due to sunset at the end of 2020.

Members of the subcommittee would like to see that terminate one year early and be re-allocated for school security programs in place.

Approved by voters in 1995, the justice center tax funds operation and maintenance of the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock.

“When it comes to school security and the need for a continual, reliable source of funding to make sure the kids, teachers and staff are safe, this makes the most sense — to use this sales tax,” said Kory Nelson, a member of the subcommittee and father of

The school board is in “learning mode” regarding the recommendations, Ray said in an email.

“We appreciate this group’s eagerness to take action on prioritizing safety for our schools and look forward to hearing more about their proposal,” Ray said.

Nelson was the moderator at the April 28 forum, hosted by the subcommittee to educate the public on the strengths and limitations of current school security.

On May 9, the subcommittee will vote on whether it will present its proposal to the board of county commissioners, Nelson said.

Presenters at the forum included Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth, District Attorney George Brauchler, Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley, Lone Tree Police Chief Kirk Wilson and Parker Police Deputy Chief Jim Tsurapas.

Douglas County teachers join rally at state Capitol Hundreds call for additional funding for public education

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Elina Asensio, 12, goes to Northridge Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. On April 26, she stood in front of the state Capitol as she talked about her teachers.

They inspire her, she said. They support her. They help her.

“I think my teachers deserve more,” Asensio said.

“We go to school almost every day to learn and our teachers do the best they can to teach us, but some of them have to have a second job to afford having a life here.”

Asensio and hundreds of educators and community members rallied at the Capitol that morning to call for additional funding for public schools.

Nationally, Colorado ranks 31st in teacher pay, with an average salary of $51,808, according to a report recently released by the National Education Association for 2017.

Wearing red for education, about 400 teachers and dozens of residents from Douglas County attended.

Hundreds more were from Jefferson County Public Schools. Both districts canceled school in light of the event.

The weekend before, Douglas County School District interim Superintendent Erin Kane announced in an email to parents that schools would be closed because there would not be enough substitute teachers to cover classrooms.

Other districts across the Denver metro area were scheduled to be closed the following day, as teachers planned to attend a similar rally.

The impassioned crowd started on the steps of the iconic building in downtown Denver, where they shouted a series of chants — “Fund our schools,” they yelled.

“Show me what democracy looks like. This is what democracy looks like.”

Over a megaphone, gubernatorial candidate Cary Kennedy called for action. Kennedy has been endorsed by the Colorado Education Association, the state teachers’ union.

“We need to give you the retirement security you have earned,” she said.

“I know you are here for the students.

We need to give you the resources so you can support your kids.”

Reasons for participating in the rally differed.

Kerri Nyhof, a fifth-grade teacher at Franktown Elementary School, wants more funding for school psychologists and staff. She wants to see smaller class sizes — this year, she has 25 students in one class.

She attended the rally because education is important to her, she said.

“I think education is the foundation of our society,” Nyhof said. “Education is what gives all people a chance to be successful at life.”

Sue Catterall recalled when her

Members of the Douglas County Federation, the local teachers union, march outside the state Capitol at a rally on April 26. They were protesting for additional funding from the state for public education.

Wearing red, educators from Douglas County hold up powerful signs as they march outside the state Capitol at a rally on April 26. Participants were calling for additional funding for public schools. two kids graduated from schools in the Douglas County School District several years ago. They both received IB diplomas, she said, adding that they had “great teachers and amazing administrators.”

Catterall wants to see more funding for schools.

At the rally, she was collecting signatures for Great Schools, Thriving Communities, a ballot initiative that would increase funding for public schools across the state through a “Quality Public Education Fund,” financed from higher taxes on some citizens and businesses.

“The kids today won’t have the same experience my kids had if we don’t fix this,” Catterall said, tears welling

in her eyes. “I think it’s important for our entire community to have a welleducated populace.”

Tim Krug, joined by his two young sons who go to Franktown Elementary, was at the rally to support teachers. He wants to see higher salaries, more vocational programs and better special education.

“I really don’t like to miss a chance of supporting our teachers,” said Krug, who is running for the state board of education for the 4th Congressional District.

Kallie Leyba, president of the Douglas County Federation, the local teachers’ union, was thrilled with the turnout. She and other members of the organization spent days and eve-

nings prior to the event making more than 400 shirts, each stamped with “DCF” and a small heart in red, and creating elaborate posters. She was disappointed with the weather, which with temperatures in the 40s in the morning, forced many to bundle up in sweatshirts and jackets.

“It’s pretty powerful, pretty amazing,” said Leyba. “Our teachers are mobilized, energized and ready to take action.”

Many teachers and community members hope the rally catches the attention of legislators and brings awareness to the need for more funding for public schools.

Karin Asensio, a parent of three, including 12-year-old Elina, said students are “packed like sardines” in classrooms at Northridge Elementary.

Her son’s fourth-grade class has 33 kids. Her 7-year-old daughter’s class has 28.

“It should not be partisan, it should be everyone agrees that education matters,” Asensio said. “Our kids are our future and they matter.”

Poll finds most Americans think teachers are underpaid Sentiment is measured as educators step up actions to address wages, funding

teachers voted recently to strike after rejecting an offer of a 20 percent raise, because it didn’t include a vow from state lawmakers not to further cut taxes before providing more money for the state’s schools.

“To educate children and barely get a living is obnoxious,” said Elaine Penman, a company manager in Tucson, Arizona, who added she and others went outside to cheer on protesting teachers who were marching by.

She’s among the 50 percent of Americas who say they’d pay a higher tax bill if it meant more money for teachers.

“I’m a parent and I benefit directly from what teachers do,” said Penman, who has two children in traditional public schools and one in a charter school.

In 2016-2017, the average salary for a public school teacher was $58,950, down slightly from the previous year, according to the National Center for

Americans overwhelmingly believe teachers don’t make enough money, and half say they’d support paying higher taxes to give educators a raise.

The findings of the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research come amid recent teacher strikes and other protests, including walkouts in the Denver metro area, over low pay, tough classroom conditions and the amount of money allocated to public schools in several Republican-led states.

cans — 52 percent — also approve of teachers leaving the classroom to strike in their search for higher pay, while 25 percent disapprove. Among those who say they’ve heard about the recent teacher protests, 80 percent say they approve of such tactics.

The recent run of teacher protests began in March in West Virginia, where teachers won a raise after going on strike. The strategy soon spread to Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado and Arizona, where educators joined together online and have held increasingly frequent protests during the past six weeks.

The poll found that 51 percent of Americans have been paying at least some attention to the protests. People living in states with the lowest teacher salaries were more likely to have heard about the protests than those in states with the highest teacher pay.

Education Statistics.

Overall, 78 percent of Americans said that’s not enough. Just 15 percent think teachers are paid the right amount, while 6 percent think they’re paid too much. In a 2010 AP-Stanford poll, 57 percent of Americans said they thought teachers are paid too little.

Americans in states with the lowest average teacher salaries — less than $50,000 a year — were slightly more likely to think teachers were paid too little and that the national average should be an important factor in determining salaries.

The AP-NORC poll found that parents and those without children are about equally likely to think teachers are paid too little. It’s a sentiment that crosses party lines, too. Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats, 78 percent of independents and 66 percent of Republicans think teacher salaries are too low.

Metro area offers environmentally friendly commuting Multiple methods available to help save money, planet

Cities across the metro area are also helping out the environment by launching bike share programs, making it easier for people to conveniently check out a bicycle for recreation, everyday errands or as a method to connect with RTD. Denver was one of the first and launched its B-Cycle program in 2010.

The Golden Bike Library opened for its third season on April 19.

“Bikes help us do our part of reducing how much carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere and reduces our dependency on fossil fuels,” said Craig Berkley, a bike librarian at the Golden Bike Library. “They are a convenient source of transportation, but, also, bikes are just fun.”

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adam Crow enjoys seeing Colorado’s wildlife on his 40-minute commute to work, which begins in Jefferson County and ends in Gilpin County.

Crow sees deer every day, he said, and often, he also sees elk and bighorn sheep.

But for Crow, the best part of the commute is that he is not actually driving the nearly 34 miles each way.

Crow, of Lakewood, is a head cook at Monarch Casino Black Hawk. He has been riding a casino bus to get to and from work five days a week for the past eight years.

“It’s dependable,” he said, adding he wouldn’t have it any other way. “Unless,” Crow said, “the casino was right next to home.”

About 2.8 million people live in the 10-county Denver metro area, and Crow is far from the only one who has a commute to and from work.

Nowadays, more and more people are joining Crow in seeking alternative modes of transportation that are more environmentally friendly.

And because of mass transit and the emerging popularity of bike share programs throughout the metro area, it’s becoming much easier for people to access ways to commute that have less of a negative impact on the air we breathe.

“Most people in Colorado are conscious about the environment,” said Kahlea Davis, a bartender at Monarch Casino who commutes from Arvada by casino bus twice a week.

“It’s important to be sharing rides and lessening our footprint on earth.”

The casino buses that Crow and Davis ride are large, Crow said. He guessed that on average, about 30 to 40

Lone Tree is trying out ofo as a pilot program for a new bike share in the community.

The city focused on having the bikes available at primary spots that cater to the commuting public, such as RTD’s Lincoln Station that serves the E, F and R light rail lines; apartment communities, shopping destinations and major employers.

people ride it per day. Their main reason is probably because it is less costly than driving a car up the mountain every day, he said, but their number two reason is to lessen the impact that the commute has on the environment.

“Riding a bus is one easy way for everybody to be able to pitch in,” he said, adding he also prefers the Regional Transportation District’s light rail for recreational outings such as ball games in downtown Denver.

RTD racks up impressive numbers According to the most recent data available, in 2016, RTD had nearly 101 million boardings, including bus, free MallRide, light rail and Access-a-Ride.

“The heart and mission of RTD are about serving the public to the best degree possible by giving people transit options that best meet their needs,” said Laurie Huff, senior specialist of public affairs for RTD. And because of the amount of passenger trips per

year that the RTD provides, it is “inherently beneficial to the environment because it speaks to fewer car trips being taken.”

But in addition to that, RTD is doing its part to help reduce emissions.

“We strive to implement sustainable features into our projects and services whenever possible,” Huff said.

RTD continues to replace old buses with new buses that are powered by clean burning engines equipped with highly advanced emission reduction devices. In the past three years, 570 of these new buses have been put into service. RTD estimates that these new buses reduce exhaust emissions by as much as 90 percent compared to the ones they’ve replaced.

Those buses are in addition to RTD’s 36 mall buses that operate on compressed natural gas in electric-hybrid configuration and its nine hybrid buses that operate in regular city transit service.

New approach to bike sharing Earlier this year, Lone Tree decided to try a new kind of a bike share program — a dockless bike share called ofo.

“It’s a really interesting new concept,” said Austin Good, Lone Tree’s management analyst.

Unlike Golden’s bike library or Denver’s B-Cycle where people check out a bike and return it to a station, a dockless bike share system such as ofo allows people to rent a bike through an app. The bikes have on-board locks, GPS and cellular connections that are accessed via mobile device to find, unlock and pay for use.

Ofo approached Lone Tree after it had successfully launched in Aurora, Good said. Because Lone Tree had been talking about implementing a bike share program for some time, “it lined up really well with us,” he said.

Lone Tree is trying out ofo as a pilot program — which began in February and will continue through June — but Good said he thinks it’s going pretty well.

“I’ve seen the bikes going through all stretches of the community,” he said.

More details emerge in teacher murder case Suspect reached out to sheriff months before arrest, document shows

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Details are beginning to emerge in the case against Dan Pesch, the man charged with murder in the 2010 death of popular Kiowa High School teacher Randy Wilson.

Pesch, 34, was arrested a few days before Christmas last year and charged Pesch with killing Wilson, who was found at the remote crossroads of County Line Road and Kiowa-Bennett Road in Elbert County in June 2010.

Wilson, who was 53 at the time, was found with a bag over his head, a belt around his neck, and his hands bound behind his back. Wilson’s car was nearby, and his wallet and credit cards were missing, though the cards were never used.

No suspects were ever named in the case until the surprise announcement of Pesch’s arrest by Elbert County investigators on Dec. 19, 2017. A preliminary hearing in the case has twice been pushed back, and is currently scheduled for May 21.

Recently unsealed documents in the case show that it was Pesch who initiated contact with Elbert County investigators in June 2017, six months before his arrest.

The documents also show that Pesch met with investigators multiple times in the latter half of 2017 before being arrested outside the Walmart in Elizabeth, near Kiowa, as he was voluntarily driving from the Georgetown area to Elbert County in December.

A judge recently unsealed an affidavit in the case, amounting to the first new information in the case against Pesch since the day he was arrested.

Files that are normally public record, including the dates and times of court hearings, have been suppressed for months.

Vikki Migoya, the spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office in the 18th Judicial District, said in December that the seal was to protect the integ-

Former Douglas County teacher/softball coach sentenced to jail, probation Brian Stebbins pleaded guilty to promotion of obscenity to a minor; other charge dismissed

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A former Douglas County High School English teacher and softball coach accepted a plea deal in a Douglas County courtroom on April 24 after being charged in June with two felonies, including sexual exploitation of a minor.

Stebbins Brian Stebbins, 42, was sentenced to two months in jail.

Stebbins was arrested June 2 on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, a class 3 felony, and promotion of obscenity to a minor, a class 6 felony. He was released on a $25,000 personal recognizance bond, according to court records, and placed on leave with the school district, according to a June email to parents from Principal Tony Kappas.

A spokeswoman with the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said Stebbins was accused of exchanging “sexually inappropriate” photos with a student.

Stebbins pleaded guilty April 24 to count 2, promotion of obscenity to a minor, a class 6 felony. Count 1, sexual exploitation of a child, was dismissed

as part of the plea deal.

Had the case gone to trial, prosecutors would have needed to prove all elements of the case beyond a reasonable doubt, including the allegations that Stebbins possessed or promoted obscene materials to a minor between February 2016 and March 2017.

Stebbins was immediately sentenced to 60 days in jail and two years of supervised probation. Conditions of the plea deal authorized Stebbins for work release during his sentence but included a slew of other requirements.

Stebbins is banned from contacting the victim during the term of the plea deal, will be subject to drug and alcohol evaluations, is barred from contacting anyone under the age of 18 without an adult present and cannot have access to firearms. He will still be allowed to contact his children without supervision.

District Court Judge Shay Whitaker also ordered Stebbins to complete a healthy sexual boundaries class and undergo 20 counseling sessions. His social media use will be restricted to comply with the terms prohibiting him from contacting minors without supervision.

The victim and her family chose not to address the court during the hearing, but the prosecution said the plea deal should not minimize the harm caused by Stebbins’ actions, a sentiment echoed by the judge during sentencing.

“It is important that no one here in this courtroom,” said Whitaker, “forget the gravity of what was originally charged.”

rity of the investigation.

The affidavit is heavily redacted, with lengthy sections blacked out. The sparse new details indicate that Pesch initiated contact with Elbert County Sheriff Shayne Heap through a Facebook message on June 28, 2017, more than seven years after Wilson’s death.

Pesch, who was living in Littleton at the time, then voluntarily met with investigators at the Elbert County Sheriff ’s Office on July 10, Aug. 1, Aug. 9, and Dec. 8, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit goes on to provide the following account of Pesch’s apprehension, arrest and detention: Pesch texted Elbert County investigator Chris Dennis on Dec. 15 and said he had been evicted from his Littleton apartment. Three days later, on Dec. 18, Pesch drove from Georgetown to Elizabeth.

Sheriff ’s office personnel tailed him to the parking lot of the Elizabeth Walmart, where they arrested him

and transported him to the Elbert County Sheriff ’s Office in Kiowa.

Inside the sheriff ’s office, Pesch signed a waiver of his Miranda rights and agreed to answer questions. A short time later, Pesch was charged with first-degree murder in Wilson’s death.

Heap and Dennis escorted Pesch across the parking lot without handcuffs, where he broke free from their grasp and ran across the lot after seeing the jail entrance.

Heap and Dennis grabbed Pesch, handcuffed him, and locked him in a holding cell. Pesch began hitting the wall with his head and fists, prompting deputies to strap Pesch into a restraint chair.

In addition to the murder charge, Pesch was also charged with resisting arrest, obstructing a peace officer and attempting to escape.

Stephen White High school teacher in Maryland

That had happened in Oklahoma, where teachers staged a nine-day walkout earlier this month to protest the level of classroom funding.

White said he used to be anti-union when he worked in the private sector, but changed his position when he became a teacher. He said salaries don’t take into account all that teachers do, especially outside the normal school day.

“The private sector makes double what we do,” he said. He acknowledged that strikes are disruptive.

“We don’t like that, but sometimes drastic times call for drastic measures.”

Americans believe state and local governments share responsibility with teachers and their unions for the disruptions caused by the strikes. Vernita Grimes, 68, of the District of Columbia, said teachers aren’t making enough money for the work they do and she supports them having the right to strike, “even though I know kids are losing valuable teaching time.”

But Caitlyn Scott, 27, of Kent, Ohio, said teachers are earning “about what they should,” and she opposes strikes by teachers.

“I think they kind of committed to being there for the entire school year,” she said.

Half of Americans would be willing to shoulder the cost of paying teachers more and providing more money to schools via higher taxes, with only 26 percent opposed. But while 69 percent of Democrats say yes to higher taxes for schools, only 38 percent of Republicans and 30 percent of independents say the same.

People living in urban areas are more likely than those in rural areas to support such a tax increase, 57 percent to 40 percent.

Stephen White, a high school teacher in Marysville, California, said raising taxes is “probably the only way” to pay for teacher raises.

“Look at states that cut taxes and some districts had to go to four-day school weeks.”

Historic Castle Rock church calls new rector STAFF REPORT

A new rector has been chosen to lead the congregation at Christ’s Episcopal Church, a Castle Rock congregation established in 1905.

The Rev. Brian Winter, D.Min., was called April 9 by the Rt. Rev. Robert O’Neill, bishop of the Episcopal Church in Colorado, to serve. Winter first came to Christ’s Episcopal Church in October 2015 for an interim position as priest-in-charge. Now he has taken on a permanent role leading the parish.

Winter was ordained into the priesthood of the Episcopal Church on Jan. 18, 2003. Since that time, he has served parishes in Utah and New Mexico.

He was rector at St. Chad’s Episcopal Church in Albuquerque, New

Mexico, for 11 years. While in Albuquerque, he served the Diocese of the Rio Grande as the Canon for Congregational Life and Development.

Winter has a doctorate in congregational development from Virginia Seminary, and is a recent graduate of the Church Development Institute in Colorado.

Before entering ordained ministry, Winter was a photojournalist for newspapers in Arizona and Utah.

Outside of church, Brian and his wife, Cheri, enjoy exploring Colorado’s many rivers and streams with a fly rod in hand, as well as hiking, mountain biking, and skiing.

Brian and Cheri have two sons, both of whom work in Albuquerque as auto technicians.

It just turns out that a nice benefit of riding a bike is that it’s easier on your pocketbook, she added, in that it doesn’t require gasoline or the costly maintenance of a car. Plus, you don’t ever have to deal with having to search for a place to park or parking fees, she said.

And on top of it all, riding a bike is a fun way to get exercise, Gunther said.

Gunther lives in downtown Denver and takes her bike any time she can for work, but also for the everyday errands of going to the post office, the grocery store and the library.

Recreationally, Gunther is part of a women’s meetup cycling group who bike together about once a week.

“We’re always looking for new pathways and adventures to explore on a bike,” Gunther said. “It’s feels good to be able to jump on a bike and remember the joy that it brings.”

Tamara Rollison, spokeswoman for CDOT, said tolls are not geared toward making money but would help fund maintenance for the corridor.

“The reason is not to generate revenue or to make a profit,” she said.

“The reason is to manage the right balance and the right flow of traffic so that we can provide a reliable trip for motorists.”

Tolls are in fact a policy directive within CDOT. A 2013 policy brief says managed lanes should be “strongly considered” on highway projects where congestion is known to be an issue.

Still, some are just glad to hear of anything being done to the Gap. Margie Munoz, general manager at the Outlets at Castle Rock, said about 15 percent of employees use the Gap and 30 percent of shoppers come from the El Paso County region.

“We’re looking forward to just better traffic flow and easing congestions and having our employees and customers have a nicer ride,” she said.

“We really support the state’s initiative to make it a safer highway.”

tainly affected people who work here in Castle Rock and provide services.”

CDOT officials, well aware of the resistance to tolls and the call for four lanes, say there isn’t enough justification to add a fourth lane at this time, but the agency is building the roadway to accommodate adding a fourth lane if that need arises later on.

Bob Wilson, a CDOT spokesman, said it’s too early to know what a project like that would look like, but it may mean converting part of the shoulder to a lane.

Waller speculates CDOT’s interest in the toll lane for the south I-25 corridor is in part an issue of fairness, as the department has used tolls on roads in the northern metro area. He also thinks the agency worries that not installing a toll on the Gap would set a precedent against doing so on future project.

While it doesn’t make sense to punish new leadership for old leadership’s bad decisions in the first place, even worse, is the fact that the only people truly being punished by a lack of funding are our students.

NORTON FROM PAGE 12

For me a good approach is 30 minutes in the gym, a better approach is 45 minutes, and the best approach is 60 minutes. A bad approach is zero minutes. So in this case, the good option of 20 minutes was indeed the best option.

One area where I highly encourage people to follow a good, better, best approach is relationships. When we think about the good things we can do for someone we love, can we stop and think about what it is we could do better? And when we are doing things better already, could we stop and think about what would be the absolute best? Our relationships and our loved ones are so important, and if we only ever settle for doing the good

things, we are shortchanging those we love the most by not giving them our absolute best. If we would just hit the pause button long enough to ask ourselves if we are doing good, better, or best, we will probably see the best option more clearly and can then do our best for those we love so much.

So how about you? What does your good, better, best approach look like?

Does settling for the good when you know you could do better bother you or inspire you? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we know what our good, better, and best options and outcomes look like, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

The past 19 year timeframe from Columbine to Parkland has stoked these extreme viewpoints about gun rights in America. But a recent article on April 24, 2018 in the New York Times titled “Do Gun Owners Want Gun Control? Yes, Some Say,” hits a bullseye.

Advocating various improvements to our gun laws are the numerous pro-gun law groups such as March for Our Lives, Never Again, Everytown for Gun Safety, etc. In ardent opposition to these splintered groups is the NRA. As the NYT article points out, right after the Parkland shooting on Feb. 14, a Quinnipiac University poll found 50 percent of respondents in gun-owning households support stricter gun laws. That level was seven points higher than when the same question was asked in December 2017. Ninety-seven percent of gun-owning households support

background checks for all gun buyers, a position that the NRA opposes.

As a gun owner, I advocate sensible gun ownership laws that are compatible with the Second Amendment. I encourage gun owners/hunters to get involved in this debate. Listen to opinions, voice your opinion, then vote your opinion.

Mike Heyka Highlands Ranch Not a good lesson Strike one.

I am part of the wave of parents that voted for the teacher-friendly school board in Douglas County over the last two election cycles. My mom was the president of her local teachers’ union in Southern California. I feel for and until today fully supported the teachers of our district. Today was strike one.

How dare they, as teachers, leave our children, my severely disabled child, in the lurch today. They have a friendly board working for them and haven’t given that board any time to solve the problems before walking

out. These are the acts of political novices.

Strike one means that I am going think long and hard before voting yes on any bond issues or mill levies on the next ballot. If you act irresponsibly, so will I. James Warfield Castle Rock Water plan merits support Oh no! Another public entity that wants to raise my taxes! I’m retired on a fixed income and can’t afford it.

But, wait a minute. Researching this proposal indicates it’s going to save me money in the long run. Without a good water plan, my home’s value will be seriously and negatively impacted! This issue and it’s supporters on the ballot include a comprehensive plan (www.ProtectOurWaterFuture.com) to take advantage of unique opportunities and not waste the many dollars already spent. The opposition has no viable plan.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

When it comes to training some of his behavior out of him, I am a “C” student.

That’s where Jennifer comes in. She’s has measured patience, but only so much of it.

One thing we have in common: no one yells at Harry, and no one raises a hand either.

Teresa sends me videos and articles and studies, and they all point toward a productive and caring and loving relationship between the owner and the dog.

By the way, the dog just came into the office and looked up at me. That’s all it takes, sometimes, to wick away the solemnities of the Real World, at least for a few minutes.

Flowers have a therapeutic effect, like pets do, but I’ll take a dog any day to provide the greater effect of a response.

Harry has a very therapeutic tail. A few wags at the right time make the day as bright as a bouquet.

SUMMER CONCERT LINEUPS

the summer

with national, local musicians Options abound for outdoor concerts around Denver metro area

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood resident Tim Litherland and his wife love spending their summer evenings under the stars at Lakewood’s Heritage Center, sipping on a libation and listening to live music under the stars.

“Even if we didn’t live in the Lakewood area, we’d come to see these concerts,” said Tim Litherland, a season ticket-holder to Lakewood’s Sounds Exciting! Summer Concert Series. “We really enjoy the setting, people we’re surrounded with, and the variety of musicians we get

to see perform.”

During the summer months, it seems like every city around the metro area takes to a park or outdoor amphitheater to host outdoor concerts.

So that means music fans in the area are spoiled for choice when it comes to their evening plans.

“These concerts are the way music is supposed to be heard,” said Jen Reinhardt, the Town of Castle Rock’s event specialist. Castle Rock recently announced its third summer concert series season. “We have one of the most amazing acoustic setups, and when you add the views, it’s hard to beat.”

The cities usually split into two categories — those featuring nationally known touring performers, and those showcasing the variety of talented locally based musicians.

oulder physician Mark Strom remembers his time working with fellow physician John Sarno in New York City very clearly.

“I almost couldn’t believe the patients he was seeing were getting better,” Strom said. “The patients themselves couldn’t believe it was really happening.

Which makes his story one really worth telling.”

Sarno pioneered methods for treating chronic pain that included the psychological roots of pain.

COMING Known as Tension ATTRACTIONS Myoneural Syndrome (TMS), this is a psychosomatic illness causing chronic back, neck, and limb pain which is not relieved by standard medical treatments.

Other illness like gastrointestinal problems, dermatological disorders and repetitiveClarke Reader strain injuries may also be TMS related.

While his ideas were controversial and remain that way, more people are subscribing to the notion that a person’s unconscious plays a big role in their physical health.

Now, Sarno’s story is being told in the documentary, “All the Rage,” a new film by directors Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley. The film uses Sarno’s work to tackle the pain epidemic and resulting opioid crisis facing the country. It features interviews with celebrity patients including Howard Stern, Larry David and Bernie Sanders.

“We are not saying that it is ‘all in your head’ because the symptoms and pain are real. Only that it may start in your head and, therefore, some of the answers may also be in your head,” said Hawley said in a statement. “We have seen such an emotional outpouring from the audiences after our screenings all across the country.

People are moved to share their stories and talk about their pain.”

Sarno died in 2017, but recent articles in the medical journal The Lancet have given his theories a new wave of support.

Poor treatment of back pain has been among the main issues fueling the opioid epidemic.

“It’s a fascinating way of treating people, and an option that doesn’t rely on prescriptions,” Strom said. “Sarno was never really accepted during his lifetime, but all the people who he helped have been spreading the word of his work for years.”

The film recently screened in Boulder and Denver and is now availablefor streaming at www.vimeo.com/ondemand/alltherage.

Roxborough Arts Council gallery is bright space in Aspen Grove

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

y. Before Christmas, members of the Roxborough Arts Council opened a temporary gallery at Aspen Grove in Littleton — and it went so well that it remains open today and into the future, during the shopping center’s hours. There are presently 29 artists from the council who are gallery members, as well as a waiting list, including artists from throughout the south area in Douglas, Arapahoe and S. Jefferson Counties.

As a visitor walks into the bright space, (toward the south end of the part of the center running north and south, near J. Jill,) one is struck by a sense of color and textures swirling around, demanding attention, as one of sculptor Randy May’s whimsical birds

seems ready to demand a treat!

Jewelry sparkles and a very large, workshopped zebra photo seems perfect for a sleek contemporary interior — perhaps a commercial space. Leah Hendricks’ “Terrascapes” are mixed media creations that include paint, bones, pebbles, grasses.

Each member has a limited space for display on the walls and in attractive display cases (on wheels, so they can be moved back to accommodate classes when scheduled).

The gallery holds a special “Second Friday” open house monthly and is open to the public daily.

The Roxborough Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) organization and member of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. Its mission is to bring artists and others together and provide venues for member

artists to exhibit their works, plus forums for them to share information and provide feedback for artistic growth.

Upcoming classes are posted, scheduled for about three hours each or less — rather than ongoing — include “Monet’s Poppy Field,” masterpiece class: 1-3 p.m. on May 6 ($35); Adult Bronze, noon to 2:30 p.m. on May 20 and June 10 ($54); Kidz Bronz, taught by Patricia Jenkins, 3 to 5:30 p.m. May 20 and June 10 ($54). It seems to invite family projects. The group is excited about kids’ community art projects, we were told.

Most art displayed would be considered representational, although it varies considerably in size, technique and medium.

Venues like the Arvada Center, Castle Rock’s Amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park, Denver’s Botanic Gardens and Littleton’s Hudson Gardens all bring in names that almost everyone will recognize, like Pat Benatar, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Amos Lee and Sheryl Crow.

One of the most exciting concerts for Reinhardt is David Pack’s Legends Live on Saturday, Aug. 18. The show features a kind of supergroup, made up of Gary Wright (singer of “Dream Weaver” and more), John Elefante (former lead singer of Kansas), Jim Peterik (founder and singer of Ides of March, songwriter in .38 Special, and formerly of Survivor), David Pack (former lead singer of Ambrosia) and jazz pianist David Benoit.

“We make sure all our concerts are family-friendly events that are great options for a child’s first concert,” Reinhardt added.

“We want to make it an easy night for everyone, one that turns into a great time for everybody.”

The key to a successful concert season is variety, and that’s what every venue, no matter the reach, strives for. That’s why audiences will see a blend of everything from bluegrass and rock to jazz and R&B.

Lakewood’s Heritage Center will be full of concert goers for the annual Sounds Exciting!

Now Justin Townes Earle will be stopping by the Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in Englewood, at 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 10.

A new husband and father, Earle shows off his most mature songwriting muscles to date on “Kids in the Street.”

“When I wrote songs in the past,” he said in a statement. “I was looking in on what I was feeling, but this record’s more about looking outward on what’s happening and writing about subjects like gentrification and inner-city strife.

This record also has more of a soul influence to it, and it’s got a deeper connection to the blues than anything I’ve done before.”

Spend a Saturday at Bear Creek Lake Park Front range anglers can get an early jump on fishing season and compete for a top prize in Lakewood.

The seventh annual Trout Fishing Tournament is at Lakewood’s Bear Creek Lake Park, 15600 W. Morrison Road, on Saturday, May 12. Check in is at 5:30 a.m., and the tournament kicks off at 6:30 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m.

Planners like Rebecca Gushen, community events coordinator with Lakewood’s heritage Center, spent countless hours listening to local musicians and crafting the perfect season.

One such artist that Gushen found that she thought would be great for Lakewood audiences is Rob Drabkin, who will be performing on Aug. 8. She heard his performances and thought he would be a wonderful new voice to share.

“Of course, you want to bring in artists that people know and enjoy, but we also really like bringing new artists that our audiences hasn’t heard before,” Gushen said.

“We have some great world music and Afro-funk artists who will be performing for audiences this summer.”

Most of these concert venues offer more than just great music — there are typically food trucks, beer gardens or custom created drinks, and at some of local shows, there’s a chance to meet the performers.

Medicare leaves gap in care for patients with opioid addictions Methadone treatment isn’t covered by insurance plan for seniors

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

One in three older Americans with Medicare drug coverage is prescribed opioid painkillers, but for those who develop a dangerous addiction there is one treatment Medicare won’t cover: methadone.

Methadone is the oldest and, experts say, the most effective of the three approved medications used to treat opioid addiction. It eases cravings without an intense high, allowing patients to work with counselors to rebuild their lives.

Federal money is flowing to states to open new methadone clinics through the 21st Century Cures Act, but despite the nation’s deepening opioid crisis, the Medicare drug program for the elderly covers methadone only when prescribed for pain.

Joseph Purvis, a former heroin and prescription painkiller user, said he went into a depressive tailspin because he initially feared he might have to stop methadone treatment when he went on Medicare at 65.

“I was terrified that I might have to leave the program. There’s no way I

Castle Rock/Franktown

wanted to go back to addiction on the streets,” said Purvis, 66, of Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Methadone doesn’t meet the requirement of Medicare’s Part D drug program because it can’t be dispensed in a retail pharmacy.

Instead, in the highly regulated methadone system, patients first are assessed by a doctor, then show up daily at federally certified methadone clinics to take their doses of the pink liquid. Or, like Purvis in Maryland, they prove through repeated urine screens that they have earned the right to weekly take-home doses.

In Congress, a Senate panel looking for ways to counter the opioid epidemic is considering allowing Medicare to cover methadone treatment. Legislation has been introduced in the House, and a White House commission on the opioid epidemic also recommended the change.

The epidemic is “affecting all populations, including our seniors,” said Rep. George Holding, R-North Carolina, a sponsor of the House bill.

“Medicare beneficiaries have among the highest and fastest growing rate of opioid use disorder, but they don’t currently have coverage for the most effective treatment.”

An estimated 300,000 Medicare patients have been diagnosed with opioid addiction, and health officials estimate nearly 90,000 are at high risk for opioid misuse or overdose.

Castle Rock/Franktown

Buprenorphine, a more expensive and slightly less regulated treatment drug, is covered by Medicare but few doctors who accept new Medicare patients have obtained federal waivers to prescribe it. A recent study of Medicare claims found prescriptions for buprenorphine for only 81,000 patients.

More evidence that the crisis affects seniors: Opioid overdoses killed 1,354 Americans ages 65 and older in 2016, about 3 percent of the 42,000 opioid overdoses that year.

Medicare’s policy means clinics often scramble to keep older patients in treatment if they’ve had commercial insurance that covered their care before turning 65, said counselor Angela Caldwell of Montgomery Recovery Services in Rockville, Maryland.

A national organization for methadone clinics says the clinics now have 25,000 Medicare beneficiaries who are either paying out of pocket (about $80 per week) or getting care through state-run Medicaid or block grant programs.

Mark Parrino, president of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, thinks more people would seek methadone treatment if Medicare covered it.

Many older patients rely on surprisingly high doses of opioids for pain relief, which can turn into addiction, said Dr. Anna Lembke, an addiction specialist at Stanford University

Centennial

Highlands Ranch

School of Medicine.

One of her addiction patients, a woman in her mid-70s, was referred to her because her daily dose of opioids had climbed over the years to a drug level many times higher than that of a typical heroin user, Lembke said.

“She’s had a gradual development of tolerance over many decades and now is on an astronomical dose,” Lembke said. “If you took any random person and gave them (that much) they would die.”

Lembke said she normally wouldn’t consider methadone for this patient because of the stigma associated with the clinics. But Medicare coverage might make them more acceptable, Lembke said, and her patient “might actually do better with methadone.”

In Maryland, Purvis remained on methadone treatment because his income is low enough that he qualifies for the state-federal Medicaid insurance coverage for the poor and disabled. Medicaid covers methadone treatment in Maryland and about 35 other states.

Purvis, who used heroin for more than a decade in his youth, later took opioids prescribed by specialists for back pain. After his pain doctor’s office was shut down for overprescribing, he started methadone treatment.

“Some people think of methadone as a crutch for addiction but it’s not,” Purvis said. “It’s a tool that allows people to live a somewhat normal life.”

Goats pull their weight in fighting fires Research project shows animals are viable wildfire prevention method

STAFF REPORT

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three Rock Canyon High School students are cleaning up at science competitions with their research project analyzing the goats used as wildfire mitigation in the Castle Pines area.

Dana Coe, 18, a senior; Delaney Yehle, 17, a junior; and Loren Rylander, 17, also a junior, took first place for their research in the environmental category at both the regional and state science fairs.

The girls looked into two things.

First, they examined environmental impacts of goats as wildfire mitigation, and second, they determined whether the goats are effective in that role. They found no significant impact on the environment, either good or bad, and concluded the goats are successful at reducing dense, gambel oak that’s prime fuel for wildfires.

In areas studied, goats reduced density by 50 to 60 percent, said the girls’ biotech and research teacher, Shawndra Fordham.

Goats have been used as fire mitigation in Douglas County since 2015. It takes 300 of them roughly an hour to clean up one acre. The cost is about $1,000 a day in addition to startup fees and mileage for the company providing them.

All the girls said they were attracted to a science project that had real-world implications.

“It’s going to make a difference,” Coe said. “It’s not just classroom research.”

Chatfield State Park swim beach closed for season

Delaney Yehle and Dana Coe work in the lab on their goat wildfire mitigation research project.

COURTESY PHOTO The project required coordinating with South Metro Fire Rescue, local communities and homeowners associations.

“Learning to work with all these people, it was a huge collaboration,” Rylander said.

They started work over the summer, gathering data in areas where goats browsed before school began. Sometimes, they spent several hours in the lab on Saturdays to get the work done.

The trio also wrote grants and found a soil expert from Colorado State University who mentored them.

“We thought it was a great way to be involved in the community,” Yehle said of the project.

The study is a long-term project

that will carry over into the next school year. Coe will graduate and plans to attend the University of Colorado -Boulder to study bioengineering, but Yehle and Rylander will continue researching the goats in their senior year at Rock Canyon.

Einar Jensen, a risk reduction specialist with South Metro Fire Rescue, said the girls’ research, which took about one year, provides him data proving the goats are a viable method to prevent wildfires, and that they can be less stressful on the environment than other methods.

“Where do you go for citizen science? You go to your local high school,” he said. “It’s a perfect partnership.”

Unforeseen construction-related circumstances have led to a seasonlong closure of the Chatfield State Park swim beach, according to a news release from the state park.

According to the release, the necessary infrastructure will not be completed in time to open the beach this summer.

“It’s unfortunate that the swim beach is going to be closed this summer,” Chatfield State Park Operations Manager Kris Wahlers said in the news release. “The beach is very popular and not having it available could have an impact on our visitors.

However, it’s important to take the extra time to ensure that the project gets done correctly to avoid any issues in the future.”

The second phase of the Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project is expected to begin this fall, with work being completed in spring 2019.

When visiting Chatfield this summer, remember that there will be active construction.

The Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project had been under development for more than 10 years before breaking ground last fall. When complete, the reservoir will be able to accommodate an additional 20,600 acre feet of water storage that “…will be used by municipal water providers and agricultural organizations to help meet the diverse needs of the state.”

For a construction schedule and more information about the project, go to www.chatfieldreallocation.org.

IN THEIR BUSINESS White Construction names new president Chris Haugen, a 21-year veteran of White Construction Group, based in Castle Rock, has been promoted to president of the firm.

Haugen joined the firm in 1997 as a carpenter looking for short-term employment, and after 21 years, has held a variety of positions including carpenter, project manager, estimator, senior estimator and, most recently, vice president of business development.

Tim White, founder and former president, and Doug Decker, 28-year veteran and former vice president, will transition out of daily operations and into board-level positions of chairman and vice chairman of the board, respectively.

JR Keller, another longtime fixture at White, will be promoted to vice president of Operations.

Keller joined the company in 2003 and has served as project manager, estimator, senior estimator and operations manager.

Bill Thomas, the new vice president of finance, came to White in 2017 from Duro Electric where he worked as controller for the past seven years.

“There’s a time when you just need to let the next generation take over what you’ve started,” Tim White said in a news release. “We’re not naïve to the fact that we’re in a fast-changing time and that requires a lot of talent and energy. We’re very fortunate as an organization to have those people on board.”

Artful design work honored Designs By Sundown was recently named a finalist in the ELITE Award category by Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado. The company was honored for its work on a local ranch and home.

Designs By Sundown, based in Littleton, planned a landscape that blended elements of city and country, modernity with Old World Morocco, and design with nature, according to a news release from Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado.

Designs By Sundown also revegetated a steep hillside to craft a landscape that would drain properly and merge with the surrounding open space.

The ELITE Award-winning projects reflect the 21st century values of sustainability, service and environmental

stewardship, the release said. The award illustrates how Colorado’s landscape companies deliver innovation, best management practices, originality, professionalism and problem solving, ALCC Executive Director John McMahon said in the release.

“These awards celebrate the connections between companies and clients to create and maintain landscapes that support Colorado’s outdoor lifestyles,” McMahon said.

Solar carport unveiled in Centennial A new solar carport unveiled April 25 at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Centennial is expected to offset more than 12,700 tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the next two decades, said a news release from SunPower, which designed and engineered the carport.

The solar carport is the second such carport in Centennial, which enjoys more than 250 days of sunshine each year. It includes more than 540 highefficiency SunPower solar panels that are expected to produce more than 400,950 kilowatt hours of energy dur-

ing the first year, and 11.6 million kWh over its projected 30-year lifespan.

“This solar carport is another example of Colorado’s leading role in clean energy technology,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said in the release. “It’s projects like these, and so many others around the state, that will help us achieve our climate goals.”

The project also includes the installation of high-efficiency LED lighting to further reduce the annual energy use load by 79,000 kWh. This will allow the solar project to produce 85 percent of the building’s energy needs, all from a clean renewable source.

The solar carport system was installed as a result of a public-private partnership between Centennial Sunrise Harvest, LLC, the U.S. General Services Administration, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the City of Centennial, Independent Power Systems and SunPower Corp.

The economics that made this project possible were provided by private investment capital from Centennial Sunrise Harvest, LLC, renewable energy credits from Xcel Energy and federal tax credits.

It’s a sacrifice bunt it can pay off High school baseball teams reap rewards by embracing an old-school play

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In today’s high school baseball, most of the attention is focused on pitch counts, hitting and base running.

A key sacrifice bunt often goes unnoticed. But it remains an important part of baseball, one that can help win games.

“Bunting is extremely important,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson.

“They don’t bunt as much as they used to, but it’s still a big part of our game, particularly in close games when you have to advance runners. A lot of teams have kind of gotten away from bunting, trying to play the big fly ball. I’m still old school. I like to hit and run, and I like to bunt.”

Bunting isn’t glamorous and getting a productive out doesn’t draw the same attention as a home run.

“I’ve seen a lot of bunting this year, honestly,” said D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco.

“Bunting is still alive. Nowdays, kids don’t like to bunt. They don’t want to sacrifice their at-bat.

It could be a great weapon, but I don’t know, they don’t like to sacrifice. wThat part of the game

PUTTING IT INTO PLAY The following teams in Colorado Community Media’s coverage area had five or more sacrifice hits/bunts through games of mid-April, according to statistics compiled by MaxPreps: D’Evelyn: 10; Golden: 7; Chaparral: 6; Wheat Ridge: 6; Arvada West: 6; Horizon: 6; Jefferson Academy: 6; Heritage: 5; Ponderosa: 5; Standley Lake: 5; Ralston Valley: 5; Lakewood: 5; Pomona: 5 has changed... They want to hit it.

They want the glory. “ Bunting, however, can decide games the same as a walk-off hit.

“When you go up and down the order of nine guys, all your guys have to be able to hit the ball and bunt because it’s part of high school baseball,” said Arapahoe coach Jim Dollaghan. “Our guys have the green light to bunt any time they want to.

“When we do our bunting drills, we talked about the importance of it. When I give the bunt signal, the player should be proud that I have confidence in him, in the team game, to move the guy over.”

A sacrifice bunt, also called a sacrifice hit, is not counted as an at-bat. A sacrifice is when a batter bunts the ball before there are two outs in a manner that allows a runner or runners on base to advance to another base.

The batter almost always sacrifices his chance to a get a hit, but sometimes reaches base because

of an error or fielder’s choice.

If runners still advance in that situation, the play is still scored a sacrifice and not an error or fielder’s choice.

“Bunting in baseball is one of the most important things because if you get a guy on base, the way to move him over is to bunt and get him in scoring position for the next guy up,” said Arapahoe junior Hunter Jackson. “It is overlooked and some people look down on it , but a bunt is really a way to help out the team.

“Whenever I get the bunt signal, I try to get the bunt down and move the runner over so the next guy up can do his job.”

Mountain Vista senior Zach Paschke agrees.

“Bunting is a big part of high school baseball because a lot of kids don’t bunt,” he said.

“They think they can put it out of the park. When I get the bunt sign, I just want to get on base because I have the speed to do it.”

Most of the time, sacrifice bunts are not used in lopsided games, but are employed in close games when a run can determine the outcome.

And the bunt is a way for teams to play small ball and manufacture runs.

“We have a lot of guys that can bunt and we work on it all the time,” said Mountain Vista coach Ron Quintana. “Bunting is something else you can add to SEE BUNT, P39

ne of the biggest changes to come out of the April 26 Colorado High School Activities Association Legislative Council meeting was that the council would have one meeting a year instead of two.

That means all the changes we will be hashing out, debating and adjusting to will now just be announced once a year.

The CHSAA has 73 OVERTIME representatives from 36 CHSAA league who vote on the rules and regulations that the CHSAA operates under. The Legislative Council is also responsible for approving or changing playoff formats that were submitted by sports, activities and administrative commitJim Benton tees.

Other news, and admittedly more significant, to come out of the April 26 Legislative Council session according to CHSAANow. com included the approval of the proposal to permit teams and individuals to participate in national events outside of the competitive sports season, but written permission from the school principal and CHSAA office is needed.

It used to be that teams and students could not be affiliated with their school at national competitions, so athletes would instead form a club but have the same coaches.

Last month, hockey teams from Valor Christian, Monarch and Regis Jesuit played in the USA Hockey national tournament but under club monikers.

There are also regional and national cross country, track, spirit, wrestling, and basketball and baseball events that Colorado high school athletes and teams enter.

The modified transfer rule passed by the Legislative Council that will go into effect June 1 means student athletes switching schools without a bona fide family move or hardship waiver will be ineligible for 365 days.

Under the previous rule, transfers could keep 50 percent of their eligibility the next season.

CHSAA legal counsel Alex Halpern told CHSAANow.com there were around 1,800 transfer requests this year. About 1,300 of those requests fell into the grouping of granting 50 percent eligibility and bona fide moves. Another 500 went to CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green, who had to rule on the transfers.

The Legislative Council hopes that approved tweaks in the way classifications are created will result in better competitive equity.

Enrollment will remain a factor when putting schools into classes for all sports SEE BENTON, P40

Misc. Private Legals

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $267,674.69 as of March 7, 2018, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Bunting can put pressure on the defense to execute and make quick decisions. It creates situations for physical and mental errors.

“If used correctly and in perfect timing, bunting whether it is for a base hit or as a sacrifice to move a runner into scoring position, can be the difference in a game. Sometimes the threat of person who is a good bunter makes the defense adjust their alignment and opens up more hitting lanes for a batter.

“Baseball has fallen in love with the home run, but a well-timed, well-placed bunt could be the difference in a victory.”

PESCH FROM PAGE 9

a picture of Pesch’s recent life: Just seven months before Pesch reached out to the Elbert County sheriff, police in Summit County had targeted him for investigation in a case that was derailed by the actions of a police dog.

Breckenridge police staked out a highway location to pull over and search Pesch in November 2016, according to an affidavit obtained from the Breckenridge Police Department.

According to that affidavit, the incident played out as follows: Officers laid in wait for Pesch on a stretch of Highway 9 in Summit County, where Pesch lived at the time, in an attempt to pull him over as he was driving — acting on a tip that Pesch dealt cocaine, meth and pills.

Officers pulled Pesch over on a speeding charge, and called a K9 unit to search for drugs.

The police dog leaped through the window of the car and “alerted” on a box in the back seat.

Officers searched the car, and found three drivers’ licenses, from Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania, none of them in Pesch’s name.

Officers also found an illegal collapsible baton on the floor of the car, which Pesch said

he used as part of “Airsoft” toy gunfights. Police placed Pesch under arrest, and found he was carrying an illegal switchblade.

Pesch was charged with criminal possession of ID documents, possession of a dangerous weapon and speeding.

The case was dropped on Feb. 8, 2017, according to court records.

“I dismissed the case last year because there was no reasonable likelihood of success on the merits, e.g., I could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt in light of the totality of the circumstances,” said Lisa Hunt, the senior deputy district attorney in the state’s 5th Judicial District, which includes Summit County, in an email.

Hunt said later by phone that the case was unworkable because the drug dog leaped through Pesch’s car window, negating his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure.

Social media posts suggest Pesch moved to the Denver area roughly a month after the charges were dropped, after a decade living in Summit County.

Pesch now remains held without bond in the Elbert County Jail. A preliminary hearing in the murder case, in which the prosecution will present some of the evidence against Pesch, is currently scheduled for 2 p.m. May 21 at the Elbert County Courthouse.

emotions aside and we need to look at what the true need is with the limited fiscal resources in our county.”

Residents at the forum had mixed feelings about the subcommittee’s proposal.

Jen Shocker, of Highlands Ranch, would have liked to see the school district involved in the discussion, she said.

“I feel like that is a big piece that is missing from this,” said Shocker.

The subcommittee will consider community feedback before it decides to move forward with its proposal, Nelson said.
